Physics look like they are set to high, that's why.

Already a thread on this here: http://www.giantbomb.com/borderlands-2/61-36055/no-dismemberment-in-borderlands-2/35-561325/? Set physics to low and enemies should begetting dismembered and heads explode.

Another discussion and fix here http://www.giantbomb.com/forums/general-discussion/30/borderlands-2-dismemberment-and-physx/561618/

Also posting a youtube vid with no accompanying explanation text is against forum rules.

So the game behaves in a realistic manner is considered a glitch? Has ever there been a greater mindfuck than that which is laid bare before me?

I don't recall getting a head explosion on the Xbox though...

But I guess I'll have to try it later on and pay intention

When he lands headshots, the heads appear to explode and a huge cloud of blood bursts out, however the heads remain intact and unscathed. Its a bug it looks like

Maybe it's a metaphor.

It's not a glitch. The dismemberment and overall gore was toned down in order for the game to remain uncensored in all regions. There are, sadly, no exploding heads in this game. Sounds like Gearbox is considering patching in more gore later on, though. It can be read about on their official forums.

@ShinjiEx: We already have morethan one thread about the lack of dismemberment in Borderlands 2, we don't need this one as well. Additionally, when you start a thread please try to do more than just embed a YouTube video and hope discussion grows out of it.
