Personally I didn't think it lived up to the hype of being super terrible. In fact a lot of it was intentional, the style it was going for. See worse movies. (Actually you have and you like them. )
I felt that Shadowfall was the most different of the series, it was more like half life than anything. For the brief period of time I played it I enjoyed it more than the other games.
Getting your limbs crushed and whatnot would be a lot quicker. No way you could maintain consciousness from that kind of damage.
On the other hand calculated cuts can last you a long period of time.
