Games with Zombies

[EisigerBiskuit]

Although I love the yammering about MMOs as much as the next fellow, I had a sudden urge to talk about something else.

Night of the Gaming Dead! :O
[Crap about zombies in games follows]

At the moment I just got a hold of a copy of Fallout 2 (http://fallout2sarge.ytmnd.com/). Just as fun, embracing, and frustrating as ever. Lovely old radioactive zombies keeping everything together, don't badmouth as much as the other assholes who are lucky enough to be normal. >: Although, I guess it wasn't very nice to turn off the coolant valve for the reactor.

Also, never got around to picking up Stubbs: RwaP. Kept leering over time at a time, looking at the fun. Definantly seems like a rent, if not a buy. I mean seriously, head bowling :(.

Land of the Dead: Road to Fiddler's Green - Shit

Most of the other games with them are pretty old, and probobbly suck hard now since I've played them. Luckily, I'll come across something that doesn't suck.

[Misdemonar]

Land of the Dead: Road to Fiddler's Green - Shit



The first build kicked ass.

[DamnthatDavid]

Stubbs the Zombie, I purchased this awesome game. It fun to play through now and again, like Halo fun.

[executioneer]

Although, I guess it wasn't very nice to turn off the coolant valve for the reactor.


well then repair and optimize the reactor instead of taking the easy jerk way out X:

[adept_ninja]

the land of the dead game was fun I dont care what people say. Maybe not fun enough to pay for or to play again once you beat it but its damn fun.

Land of the Dead: Road to Fiddler's Green - Shit



The first build kicked ass.

Yeah, It was amazing. If you got bit by a zombie, your infection meter will increase and if it goes over your heath bar, Guess what, your a zombie. Also the multiplayer turned this aspect into a interesting game element. If your friend is bit, do you kill them now to stop them from attacking you or let them live to help you take out more zombies which is the same desisions made by the survivors in the movies.

it was gonna be an awesome game, but then some licencing problems really killed this game :(

i wish it was like a zombie and could come back from the dead

[EisigerBiskuit]

Well that kind of sucks. It'd have been something to look forward too after 30 minutes of watching zombies fall through the maps, and watching them levetate and try to break open doors.

Also, I already had the Hydroelectric Magnobladerdingdong, but I did the instructions wrong the first time. "Sorry guys! That was a practice run!"

[Mad Melvin]

Dead Rising looks like the best zombie game ever. http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/deadrising/news.html?sid=6144496

I mean just look at it. Awesomeness to the max.

And lets not forget Zombies Ate My Neighbours.

[the_dudefather]

zombies ate my neighbours needs to return, but knowing lucasarts (they made it diddnt they, or was it konami)it would be in development for years then get canned, or remade into star wars: ewok zombie attack

One of the scariest things for me in RE is when a zombie comes into a room and you know he's there because you heard the door open and the really creepy music is playing and you can hear him lurching around somewhere but you can't see him :(

[Emu]

that zombie looks awfully happy

[King Hadas]

I know I'm alone here but I really am gonna miss those pre-rendered backgrounds.

[EisigerBiskuit]

How are you alone? Those placed cameras were okay as long as it didn't interfere with my view of the enemy and movement (always). It made a neat little flip-book of scenes that didn't look reused like the rest.

Also, for RE5, add strafing. You can remove the ability to run for all I care, but add strafing.

[Guitar Woman]

that zombie looks awfully happy
a cold stare of violent, wanton lust mixed with thoughts of inevitable rape coming from a zombie is half of all the scary on the gamecube version :(

I'm also going to miss pre-rendered backgrounds because I thought they looked very purty and realistic. :(

[EisigerBiskuit]

I can't find my car. >:(

[Zomboid]

I'm playin through fallout 2 again too. I was at a friend's house on the weekend and whenever we were recovering from a hangover or just being bored we played the first game and it got me in the mood for the sequel again.

I really wish they made it so you could choose your path, like in kotor and jade empire. I'm being pretty evil but still doing the odd good thing (repaired and optimized the reactor in gecko, cleared out the bad guys in vault 15, etc) and there's only like 4 out of I dunno how many guys that I can get as allies...and they all suck. Even dogmeat sucks in this game >: . Aside from that it's still a fucking awesome game.

As for zombies, zombies ate my neighbors is still the best no matter what anyone says. And yeah, dead rising looks incredible.

[ArrowX]

I'm still not over the loss of Dead Rush :(

I seriously hope they resume development

[EisigerBiskuit]

Okay, this is really stupid.

I can stand instant encounters on the map as soon as I move all the time, I can even take losing a car, but saving during a fight, reloading, and finding all of your NPC companions gone?

RAGE

And, just now, the instant crash that just happened and made a loud scary noise. :(

[Zomboid]

Losing the car happens, though I think there's a patch for that. Dunno bout the rest of that shit though. Never happened to me.

Well, it crashed earlier when I planted some dynamite on tandi and blew her up :O

[EisigerBiskuit]

Can my village really die if I procrastinate long enough? :/

[Zomboid]

Don't think so. Something happens to em anyway. That fucking guy keeps bugging you saying they need you right away, and once you get a geck (there's at least 2 places you can get one, by the way) and you get back to the village, you find that SOMETHING SINISTER HAS HAPPENED and you gotta rescue them again.

[EisigerBiskuit]

Oh thanks for telling me :<

[Mad Melvin]

Since this is now a Fallout 2 thread, I highly recommend that everyone still playing this installs the latest unofficial Seraph's patch. It really does work and fixes a ton of bugs. The bad thing is, you have to start the game from the beginning 'cause the old savegames will not work.

Link to the file:

Changelog:
http://www.teamx.ru/eng/files/FO2Patch104.txt

[Zomboid]

Yeah, I'd download that but right now I'm about 85-90% done. Might go through it again later on though...this time being able to actually get companions that don't suck >:

Being a slaver really limits your options.

[executioneer]

nuts to having companions

[executioneer]

Can my village really die if I procrastinate long enough? :/

i'm pretty sure it can, i think it happened to me one of those times i lost the car and decided to just walk everywhere

[Guitar Woman]

As much as I hate to break up the fallout fun, this pic was just too fucking funny.

Ein Zombie! :lol

[the_dudefather]

:lol

[Juttin]

Wennner Dich! Coch!

[Guitar Woman]

The funny part for me is that I can't read german very well at all :(

[the_dudefather]

"paralysiert dich"

call a proctologist!

[Mr. Vagiclean]

thanks melvin for the 1.04 patch!

[Zomboid]

aaaaand we're back to fallout.

[EisigerBiskuit]

Do poltergeists count, because I remember a fun game where you could haunt objects in a house and scare little kids.

[Zomboid]

That's The Haunting: Starring Polterguy.

[EisigerBiskuit]

You seriously can't do shit in Fallout without Charisma can you? >:{

[executioneer]

yes

you can kill people

[EisigerBiskuit]

Killing with good looks is better though.

[executioneer]

charisma is more important in 2 than it si in 1 but you still don't need more than like 4 or so

[Comrade Rocket]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/Wooshi/ravenholm.jpg

does this count?

they are kinda zombies.

[Guitar Woman]

What the hell, is that from HL2? if it is that game has the best graphics I've ever seen. I actually thought that was a cosplay for a second :o

[MetalMilitia]

welcome to a year ago :rolleyes

But seriously I think the fast zombies are better

[Misdemonar]

Check out all the hl1 mods Brianbread, and Zombie Panic.

[Zomboid]

charisma is more important in 2 than it si in 1 but you still don't need more than like 4 or so

I like putting mine up to like 6, then getting the gifted trait. High charisma isn't necessary, but it helps a lot. Plus, being a porn star in new reno and banging that chick in modoc is fun.

[MetalMilitia]

Check out all the hl1 mods Brianbread, and Zombie Panic.

I thought brainbread was ok but I find it hard to really enjoy HL1 mods anymore. They just look so damn ugly. Zombie panic was better IMO.

The they hunger trilogy was the best HL1 zombie mod. The developers are making a retail mod for HL2 right now which looks kind of good.

[Mad Melvin]

They Hunger was excellent way back when. Especially the first episode.

[Juttin]

does this count?

they are kinda zombies.


Headcrab

[EisigerBiskuit]

No way, I thought those were regular crabs.

[Guitar Woman]

they're only headcraps when they aren't attached to someone. When they take over a scientist or a marine they're referred to as "zombies."

[Skulhedface]

I'm pretty sure SWEET HOME had zombies in it :(

I figure after reading some Resident Evil fanboys homosexualize themselves over it, I'd give it a try and although I've played through it and beat it, I can't remember if there were zombies in it.

BUT IT COUNTS. :(

[EisigerBiskuit]

I still say creepy guy with huge scissors is awesome :eek

[ArrowX]

His Giant Demon baby Brother Was Much more awesome.
I still remember throwing my Joypad at the monitor when I saw that Fat FUck.

[EisigerBiskuit]

I just bought Stubbs the Zombie for $35 used about 2 days ago. Thought maybe it'd be less but I got it anyway.

Way damn short. :(

But I still hearted it, and the soundtrack was great. Though short, as well.

Speaking of which, I preordered MGS3 Subsistance, which does have a zombie river. Cooky.

[ArrowX]

its a ghost river >:

Stubbs was awesome, especially the barber shop quartet with guns.

[Emu]

I want to take this thread in a new direction.

Zombies with games! :eek
