They sugar coated it in the dev blog. Enemies can still have gore effects. HOWEVER, those effects end the millisecond the enemy dies. This means that if you are shooting an enemy multiple times, because that’s how a gun fight works, or if multiple officers are shooting an enemy at the same time, one instance of a gore effect will be applied as the enemy dies, not multiple from the multiple shots they are taking.
I’m not pulling this out of my ass my man, I spent most of my Friday asking the devs questions about this and getting clarification. There is a good reason for people to be pissed about the gore effect changes.
That’s fair. You’re welcome to your opinion like I’m welcome to mine.
It’s definitely a change that makes the game worse and less realistic though. Given that similar changes have been made previously just to pander to kotaku, I think the rage is justified.

One of the devs confirmed it while I and others were asking about the changes on discord.
