A hidden flag I've discovered while digging into the code of Guy Savage\ZOE3, it's internally referenced as "Atrocious Flag" and it controls the gore of the game, the flag is always enabled in all versions of MGS3.
When the flag is disabled, the game becomes censored in which the following things can be noted:
-Intestines become completely invisible.
-You can't dismember monsters anymore, with the exception of one attack you can execute while being transformed (probably an oversight).
-Because dismemberments are disabled, the slash attack that cuts enemies in half doesn't kill enemies in one hit anymore.
I've showcased these changes also without the nightmare filter to have a better look at the differences.
