If you want the industry to stop being the scapegoat for youth violence and generational conflict, over the top violence needs to have a point. Madworld appears to be do overtly violent and fetishistic it looks more like sadoporn or a snuff film than a videgame.
Brutality for brutality's sake is not only offensive to most, but it makes for a exceedingly dull experience. Very quickly the novelty of violence wears off, and if there is nothing left to make it meaningful, it will simply be another also ran, not unlike Manhunter.
