Why Do We Love Zombies?

Adam Rosenberg writes:Dead people aren't especially interesting. But the minute they stand up and start shuffling around, gurgling for brains, they become absolutely fascinating.

As terrifying as the walking dead are, in principle, there's also something morbidly comical about their monstrous clumsiness, their slowness to twig that you're just about to cleave them open with a stove-pipe.

People love zombies because they are fascinating, it is peoples fantasy. There are few people who have not dreamed of a zombie apocalypse and how they would survive it.

ThatCanadianGuy5357d ago

Real life zombie apocalypse would be so awesome! Of course, with my luck i'd end up just being one of the first infected and just end up as a freakin zombie -.-

rabidpancakeburglar5357d ago (Edited 5357d ago )

Everyone would end up getting infected, we can dream but frankly when it came right down to it then we'd all be pretty awful in that situation. That is unless they were George Romero slow zombies.

CrzyFool
That as well obviously

CrzyFooL5357d ago

because you can slaughter them endlessly with no remorse and feel good about yourself :-)

SweatyFlorida5357d ago

That be the reason for most. I mean we have guns but can't really use them, so Zombies are an excuse to use them. Also to use the phrase, "hasta la vista baby!" before shooting a Zombie in the noggin would be pretty cool.

Hopefully Virtual Reality gets some looking into next gen so we can replicate a Zombie Apocalypse :)

Wizziokid5357d ago

well the CDC have actually reported that a virus is possible, but it would be more like returning us to a primal state rather than die, wake-up, kill.

and I'm sure I read that the government have a plan for it (probably save all important people)

so maybe more like the 28 days later zombies, now that would be scary.

MARKUS_MAX1MUS5357d ago

Because they arent arseholes?

A Zombie will never lie to you, he will never cheat you, He will never wrong you in any way.

His intentions are clear and honest, he just wants to eat your flesh =)

UltimateIdiot9115357d ago

I don't, that's why I aim to kill them asap.

I rather fight dinosaurs though. If they bite me, that's probably it for me. No need to worry about turning on my friends and everyone I know.

kcuthbertson5357d ago

Why fight zombies OR dinosaurs when you could fight ZOMBIE DINOSAURS!!!!

UltimateIdiot9115357d ago

That's overkill, it's just game over. game over. No amount of zombie Apocalypse training game and no amount of Turok would prepare me for that.

Grimhammer005357d ago

I once had an evening conversation with a priest, 2 chemical engineers and a ex-tank commander about the proper ways to survive a zombie apocalypse. Lol seriously!

We came to a final consensus that jacking a cruise ship and making sure it was clear, would give you the best chance at long term survival.

Of course you better like fish...provided you follow the zombie movie motif. If you subscribe to a more realistic zombie outbreak....animals would be infected too. Then it's all over. Lol

If you believe zombies can be turned by a priest (d&d rpg games), then you simply get a boat with a priest and have him bless a lake or ocean. Lol then you just hang close enough to shore to attract them!

(my Greek ortho priest friend was no amused. Lol)

Cosmit5357d ago

I love zombies. Especially in games. That's the main reason why i picked up Dead Island.

Mannn… worlds scaries police chases… that took me back lol

Ape Escape.
Fun game but, wow, you need a college degree to understand the controls.
A remaster would also save you from having to constantly fight the camera.
Keep the music though. Those drum and bass tracks fit really well and haven't aged. Made me think that more games could work well with drum and bass tracks, but unfortunately it's a somewhat niche genre now.

Abear21460d ago

Max Payne Series
Infamous 1 & 2
NBA Street Vol 2
SSX
Skate

M_Prime460d ago

i could have sworn i read somewhere that Remedy is remaking May Payne 1 but things have been quiet lately

YourMommySpoils459d ago

They are making the first one, as we speak.

jznrpg460d ago (Edited 460d ago )

One of the few Xbox games I own. I have 3 copies of it because of the many discs it has, for just in case reasons

jznrpg460d ago (Edited 460d ago )

Xenogears, Xenosaga trilogy, Vagrant Story, Drakengards, Parasite Eve and many more but I’ll start with those

Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.

And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.

I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.
