I don't mind a little blood. What I do mind is when glancing blows splatter blood all over. Not to say the video was that bad, but to me too much blood makes it look like a bad action movie where someone loses about ten litres of blood and then walks away. (Without looking at the explosion…)
If done right, it increases immersion for me too, but most if the time it just looks silly. Then optional is a really good thing.
