Guys... I'm sorry. It's all my fault.quote:You're also part of the reason why SC is in its current condition. Chris was originally pitching Freelancer 2.0, and that version would've likely been released by now. But you and your carebear friends saw an opportunity to drive yet another game into the ground, and unfortunately for Chris, he fell for your sweet-talk.

I love this bit of fiction a few layers up: brig1763 posted:Meanwhile, contrast that with Chris Roberts, pushing himself extremely hard to make his games not even better necessarily, but different from each other, so that customer wouldn't feel like buying rehashes. • WC ↓↳ WC2 (same game, but with more cutscenes) ↓ ↳ SC (same game, but with jet fighters) ↓ ↳ WC3 (same game, but with FMV) ↓ ↳ WC4 (same game but with… actually, just same game). ↳ WC:P (same game, but more like Elite) ↳ P2 (same game, but insane, and with FMV) ↳ Freelancer (same game but without FMV and insanity). When the hell did Chris ever make a game different from each other? Wing Commander wasn't the same as Major Stryker, but that's about it.

Spear's would be good but longbow is the best it works from further away, you can recycle and make new ammo easily and with practice they are very accurate and powerful. Also why do the protagonists in zombie things always open doors to deal with a load of zombies trapped inside, I'd fasten a chain round the handles or brace the door so it only opened a few inches and stab them all through the gap in complete safety.

/\/\/\/\ e: it takes even more practice to become good with a bow and "no ammo" is better than "recyclable ammo". Just put a couple of guys outside the door with spears, line up a few barrels to force them into a little gauntlet and poke them in the noggin.scrubs season six posted:Depends whether we get Walking Dead style zombies or World War Z/28 Days Later style zombies.

I still can't get by the zombies not rotting away into non-functionality in a few months. I liked walking dead early on because they were going with a "not dead but suffering from a form of meningitis" theme. But then you have rotted skeleton people still running around outside after being dead for months.

MeLKoR posted:Slow zombies are not a credible ELE. Maybe if it happened on Black Friday — their slowness combined with the huge crowds would make store queues grow unmanageable when people start turning on each other in frustration, forcing ever increasing means of pacification to be rolled out until someone just nukes everything to get rid of the mess. Because as with all zombie stories, in the end, humanity is the true monster. It would also fit with the themes of both Night and Dawn of the Dead.
