I'm not trying to invoke flaming here but what is up with this community and zombies? Alright I think resi 4 and 5 where ok, Left 4 dead was alright, dead rising was fucking AWESOME, but that's just because they where fun games (especially dead rising) not because of the zombies. I don't really see the appeal in them. why is it that every CPU game has to have a zombie mod? Why do people want an open world game in which you try to live through a zombie apocalypse so badly? I could care less what im killing or decapitating, but why is everyone so drawn to corpselike things that limp around making moaning noises? I actually find them a bit less compelling. We're used to them by now, they're not really scary anymore (not that they where in the first place because they remind me of hostile autistics.) Plus, when you decapitate anything else it's like "Hell yeah! I just ripped off that guys arm!" but you rip off a zombies arm it's no big deal because 1, they lose those all the time and 2, they're just going try to bite you anyways. Also, the tense effect from zombie games like left 4 dead could probably be achieved by enemy spamming large groups of any weak enemy. So can someone please enlighten me? I don't get it.

When you kill a nazi or a ninja you can t-bag his corpse
If you kill a zombie you're all set and ready to go for some munting

thats why

Zombies are a guilt free kill. No one can blame you for putting down a zombie in the most gruesome and terrible ways humanly imaginable, regardless of who they once were when they were alive.

Do that with a person or 'anything' else save maybe non-descript monsters and evil aliens, and you've got all the stupid moral issues and such to deal with. Zombies? I just bloody cut zombie pope in half, and I get to feel AWESOME about it! Sure, he was I'm sure a grand guy in life, but in UN-Life he's fair game!

Sweet!

It is very entertaining to blow off their heads, limbs and Bawls other stuff. (see Left 4 Dead).

I'm going to go with their interesting mix of weaknesses and strengths. They're generally portrayed as being dumb and slow, carrying only simple intelligence, but losing a limb doesn't seem to phase them much thus their higher pain tolerance makes them freaky. That plus you can become one of them with so much as a scratch most of the time, which is also alarming. Finally people you know can become them, which sucks because its like them turning evil through no fault of their own.

Because alot of people here feel like outsiders, so the collapse of society and a good reason to shot the former people is attractive to them.

It is an enemy that is literally inexorable. A zombie horde is tireless, single-minded, and near impossible to defeat head to head. The only advantage you have over it is your ingenuity.

Simply, it is an interesting enemy.

You can kill something that could possibly get up again, and you can kill it AGAIN!!!
