Gotta start on a high note

 

[The Stig]

while the main game was excellent, it was a bit of a let down from that classic teaser when he was chopping up a whole fruit stand

Robocop rogue city has some great gore:

Wolfenstein: The New Order, Wolfenstein: The Old Blood, and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus.

You can blow/chop off limbs and heads, we well as completely explode people. It's pretty visceral.

Can't talk about cutting people/enemies in half without mentioning Gears of War.

Beat me to it. The gold standard in slicing and dismemberment.

I like the viscerality of the head chopping animation in Shadow of Mordor/War a lot:

It was robots, but it was cool in Binary Domain.

 

[Danjin44]

Dead Space and in that game its big part of the combat, cutting their limbs and even using it against them.

The Citadel

Severance: Blade of Darkness



It was Dark Souls before Dark Souls was even conceived as an idea with full body dismemberment from hands to arms, torsos, heads, legs. It was awesome.

 

[Gp1]

The first game...

 

[calistan]

The Citadel

Anatomy lesson! That reminds me of old school Mortal Kombat, when you'd do a brutality finisher and you'd get half a dozen rib cages out of a single body.

The Citadel

Why would you kill those waifus? You monster.

Not my fault they were designed to be fun to shoot at

tbf, i'm pretty sure there's more than one enemy remains there.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Cyberpunk has some great dismemberment

[Hypereides]

NeverDead. You lose limbs whenever you get hit. The gameplay partially revolves around this mechanic and you can reattach them yourself after losing them (alternatively, regenerate your body if a potion meter is full). You're kinda like a walking puzzle. I highly recommend the game to anyone whose curious.

Combat is fucking ripping in TLoU2 and any game that has shotgun gibbing deserves an Oscar.

Remake especially. That whole layer system they added to enemy models is cool as hell. Alao the addition of being able to shoot out vents and use fan blades against enemies was

I've played so many extremely violent games, yet it's the only one that really gets me to this day. There's something extremely realistic about the violence here to the point I feel gross about it, like witnessing a murder in real life.

Treyarch's Die by the Sword (1998)

Nah, OP started with the correct game.

Everyone else afterwards who replied (except you) dropped the ball.

The animations and voice acting that went into that specific aspect are extremely detailed and unsettling. I totally get what you're saying.

Yet I still loved coming up with the most creative and dirty ways to off people, I'm a monster...

What the hell!? Those poor waifus.

Back at my local theater we used to have this terrible fighting game called Time Killers that was mostly based around it.

 

[TronNerd82]

Predator: Concrete Jungle has some gnarly kills.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Soldier of Fortune series (pc) did it right.

 

[MadchesterManc]

W40K Darktide. You can literally dismember and mutilate a dozen worthless heretics with just one heavy swing of the Ogryns latrine shovel

 

[IAmRei]

It was robots, but it was cool in Binary Domain.

Im about to write the same! Its very satisfying to crush them one by one in that game

 

[MirageMew2]

The original Dead Island and it's sequel Riptide had this really innovative analogue-aiming mechanic that allowed for omni-directional melee:

Probably some of my favorite melee combat to date, I have no idea why they abandoned it in Dead Island 2.

Ninja Gaidens 2 and Razor's Edge, respectively. Dismemberment was literally a major talking point in the former title, and played an actual important role in the gameplay loop/tech. Interestingly enough, Razor's Edge also had dismemberment be a big talking point, as the vanilla version of the game (Ninja Gaiden 3) removed said mechanic.

 

[Pimpbaa]

Man, I'd love a sequel to Metal Gear Rising. I'd be amazing on modern hardware.

Dead Island 2 with its new system for dismemberment.

Hahaha.

I really wish more games utilized this, context appropriate, of course.

Cant' find good footage but this will do.


I believe in this and JKII you had some dismemberment by default but you had to use a console command for every limb and body part to fly off in this way.
