I'm not joking. Having Scrabs just bite at the air around your corpse with no indication they're actually eating you may work with a sprite-based 90's game, but not HD
It just sounded far too gratuitous for me. Gibbing has always been a part of Oddworld, but detailed disemboweling has not. When a slig's head or Abe's scalp bounced off the screen after an explosion or meat grinder mishap, that was funny. Seeing Abe's viscera spread out is not.

Sure, let the animals tear out chunks. But I don't want to come away from the experience feeling sick. I don't expect they'd get that far in anyway before the screen faded to black. Or before the body dissolved, if that's back.
