Game calls them zombies

Isn't it some stupid bullshit about the word being trademarked or some stupid shit?

This can be used as an excuse in a lot of cases. But some movies outright mention other zombie films, yet still refer to them as some other name. It's fucking weird.

need to be special

Nowadays everything is a zombie.
I remember when they were dead and ate brains, I can't tip my fedora to this.

I prefer infected/"alive" zombies that run over the slow ones

the idea that people havent come up with the zombie concept requires more suspension of disbelief than zombies themselves

literally just this youtu.be/FqNQbdD3kLw

From a gameplay perspective there's no difference, they both run at you to try and savage you in melee if you don't shoot them

>wyvern vs dragon
>dumb argument
Yeah you're a faggot and your shit is all retarded
Leave the thread

>tv show has zombies
>refers to them as anything but
"yeah but in the walking dead universe they never heard of zombies" what? nobody ever came up with the idea of dead people coming back to life? their world is exactly the same as ours with horror films, comic books, video games etc but nobody ever has come up with the concept of dead bodies reanimating? fuck right off

Haitian bokors have the copyright.

I prefer slow, sneaky zombies with stupidly disproportionate strength that llows them to easily rip your guts open. The original Dawn of the Dead was fucking great in that regard. Something terrifying about a slow, shambling mess that can literally rip your limbs off. Running zombies always swarm and work together. It kind've devalues that terror.

Idk, at least someone games have a consultancy in-game consistency about it. Dragons breath fire, wyverns don't, commence lore implications.

>Wyvern shows up
>Its just a flying lizard
>Dragon shows up
>Guess my house is burning down today

Because zombie sounds like a silly word and all the zombie films try to be serious

It's usually because the concept of zombies don't exist in the world they are put in. In our lives we have books and media that tell us how to deal with "zombies" so the author/writer decides to make an alternate reality of our world where the concept of zombies don't exist.

Oh hey, I've seen hentai of this specific zombie. Neat.

ZOMBIES. ZOMBIES AND MONSTERS.

That's infected you're talking about. Zombies shamble due to rigamortis save for freshly turned zombies which could run. The major difference if we're talking about gameplay is that infected usually are singular, but zombies are more like a hive mind and will attack as a single mass.

Devs are just too fucking stupid to differentiate. You could make a game where zombies only die to headshots, ala Romero films. Or make them a lot less hardy if they're "infected". The problem is devs just use a blanket term for zombies, and don't bother taking the time to make them anything but "RUN SNARL SLASH" cannonfodder.

>zombies
ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZ

I really wish to see an horror game where zombies are more like Special Infecteds from Left 4 Dead, where there are fewer zeds but more intelligent and design to hunt humans, compared to the usual slow and only dangerous in numbers.
That's why I like Zombie Panic Source, the zeds are tough on their own and since they are players it also means you are much more prone to getting ambushed and other ingenious moves.

I'm trying to eat here.

It's not that they never heard of zombies its that they didn't become a mainstream thing in the world. Basically zombie movies didn't exist.

No one calls the rage infected "zombies" that would be dumb. Those guys dont even eat people they are just rabid. They quite literally starve to death.

All wyverns are dragons but not all dragons are wyverns. It's a square-rectangle situation.

Man why would you fuck a zombie, that just doesn't make sense

Again, that's harder to believe than the dead walking around. You mean to tell me that in centuries of various civilizations, myths and stories about the dead walking the earth or coming back years later never got traction? And that comic writers and filmmakers never got the idea to use those stories as basis for film?

That's both the lamest excuse, and the biggest fucking suspension of disbelief ever.

In-universe explanation: "zombies" don't exist as a thing, even fictional.
Real explanation: There was this weird copyright on the word thanks to George Romero, but I think it doesn't exist anymore now that he died.

You could also argue "infected" is different, because zombies are supposed to come from underground, not from a bite.

Necrophilia

Old zombie? Nah.
Fresh zombie? Lube up, box of condoms, chain it to a bedpost with two sets of chains per limb, put oven mitts on it, and gag it with a ball gag. Perfect fuckslave.

Zombies: slow
Infected: fast

There.

I've seen plenty of films and settings now with reanimated corpses that sprint. Trying to enforce such a specific spot of realism onto zombies of all things will never not be stupid.

It's an imaginary creature. It only exists in fiction. A fiction writer can call it whatever they want, and they can call whatever they want a dragon or a wyvern. The classification doesn't matter even slightly.

Check this out: I'm working on a new video game series, and there are these creatures running around everywhere that are called Wyverns in the fiction of the series, and they all look like pic related. Officially, this is now a wyvern.

Shut up Zombie we're not falling for your Zumbo Mumbo.

See, I just want a game where the zombies are fucking numberless, go down super easy, but overwhelm you if you aren't careful. So you have to plan your routes to take and such. Project Zomboid does this well with the settings cranked up, but I'd kill for a 3D survival game with that.

I swear to god if I were in an apocalypse with a pedantic cunt who kept calling them "infected" I would kill them before they even had the chance to become a zombie.

No, they aren't.

>ITT: people try to gatekeep one of the most popular media fads before superheroes

When writers call the zombies by some other name, it's just because they are trying to avoid the fact that they are making a zombie story (something commonly seen as low-brow and childish.)

Almost every author wants to make a zombie book without it being a zombie book. This is the original reason A Song of Ice and Fire was created, FYI.

You did not type your assignment statements into an actual REPL though.

Look at THIS wyvern!

>implying the masses would ever know about this

It might have got a bit of traction. Just not mainstream. The only reason zombies are even a thing today is because of some film in the 60s making it popular. Films featuring zombies have only been around since the 1930s so its actually quite easy to suspend your disbelief for there not being a good zombie movie to make it mainstream.

That's a drake.

Or how about this dragon?

Who's talking about real world application? I'm talking from a traditional standpoint using decent horror as a source. The best zombie films have the zombies as a swarming mass that overpowers the living person and rips them to pieces. Anything else is just shit.

The wikis created specifically about his game series will say otherwise

Hm, interesting position, but have you considered that my opinion > your opinion?

they ate brains only in ROTLD which was a comedy movie, I can tell you don't watch zombie mvoies and are some faggot bandwagonner

No More Room in Hell works like a bit like that, if you forget the fact the linear gameplay of the game have the tendancy of making them clog important doorways, it's that exact definition, they are somewhat easy to kill, but spawn infinitely and poorly managing the horde result in getting overwhelmed incredibly quickly.

Good thing I don't care about wikis created by literal whos.

that's not a dragon, THIS is a dragon

Anyone who thinks zombies as a mass aren't the best, most horrifying, version of zombies aren't worth shit as far as opinions go, so no I haven't.

>rigamortis

The thing about that is that what I like is good and what other people like is bad and I don't have to defend my wholly subjective opinion like a big boy.

You sound like an utter child, just so you know.

>reggae mortis

How am I arguing any differently than you?

That's a fanged wyvern
that's an elder dragon

They can be a mass and STILL be aggressive you know. An aggressive mass can be pretty intimidating.
See that World War Z game where you witness a thick horde pouring down the street like a fucking river.

t. zombie

>infected
Brutally beat you to death. Maybe with objects. Smash your head off of concrete. Awful way to go. Maybe bite you once to spread the disease.
>zombies
FREAKING BITE AND TEAR OFF YOUR FLESH TO EAT IT
Nothing could compare to being eaten alive. You would feel it for so long.

Don't underestimate what shock can do. You might just pass out no later than the bashing.

Did someone say Return of The Living Dead?

You would just get infected if you raw dogged her you dumbass, wear a fucking condom if you're gonna fuck zombies.

Nah bro, it spreads through bites and scratches, just pull out the teeth and nails and you're good.

Infected are clearly superior.

Would raw-dogging a 28 days later zombie infect you? Imagine she's incapable of physically harming you or whatever, it's just PIV. The virus is spread through fluids, so wouldn't the only method of infection be sweat or something going in your cock? Do little girls get wet? If not, that would probably be the ideal zombie then. I don't know anything about little girl vaginas so sorry if the question is really dumb

Undead c____

>I don't know anything about little girl vaginas

I would be worried if you did.

Not if I eat her first, if you know what I mean

Zunny

What would have inflicted that wound on her forehead? Someone would have had to hit that exact same spot twice but in different directions.

It'd also just make sense if they just never invented the word Zombie and whatever other substitute used replaces it.

Any creature that acts in a involuntary way thats controlled by another force is a zombie.
In fact undead zombies or living dead etc is just a subcategory of an actual zombie.
Real zombies can only exist if the organism that is zombified is a living thing.

Extremely tight and chilly, perfect for hot summer days!

Drinking water? That shit's for the birds. THIS is how I want to beat the heat.

I agree, fast zombies are scary like being chased by a vicious animal would be, you could literally replace fast zombies with wild dogs and get the same effect hell I think the dogs would be scarier.
Slow zombies are uncanny and weird, there's no threat in the real world that acts like it, there's something eerily still human about it,
The more the zombie has to struggle to even exist the scarier it is because no matter how much effort it takes they still somehow find time to endlessly chase you down and rip you to pieces.

The frustrating example of this I can think of from Highschool of the Dead, where they call their zombies “Them” because they’re not like zombies from the movie. This is despite the the fact that “They” are exactly like zombies from the movies. There’s absolutely nothing setting their zombies apart from other fictional zombies. It just comes as pretentious, and anime that’s home to pic related has no right to act pretentious

28 weeks later might not have been a very good movie but I'll still sit down and watch it if it's on the TV. That fucking eye scene still gets me to this day. Shit like that unnerves me beyond belief.

Please, tell me of the one and only true version of Vampires while you're at it too, bro.

They cannot cross water.

cu**y

i disagree, the term zombie can and is generally applied to any form of loss of conscious and free will, look up zombie deer disease or the fungus that infect ants, we call them zombies too despite the fact that they are as you say "infected"
zombies are not exclusively undead
