It was still creeping in with Tess, a few lines from some guys in Pittsburgh about a badass woman, Bill and Tommy's wife being the leader of everything. It was both more well done than how they do it today and we were less tuned into it back then.
I still think that TLOU1, without the "Ellie is a lesbian now" DLC, was a really good game.
Parasitic fungi are real things but they only control bugs.
Example is a type of fungus that makes infected ants climb as high as they can before they die so it can spread spores further when it sprouts from the corpse
If I remember correctly there have actually been some biologists or whoever it is that studies fungus, who have said that technically speaking tlou could potentially happen if conditions were right and that there is some science behind the outbreak. Fungi are honestly kind of scary.
Playing with zombies from stealth was cool and added to the fear factor when you get into a dark place and start straining your ears for every bump in the night.
In the same way slapping some protrusions on someone's head and calling it an alien in star trek is cool as frick. Dunce.
Also it's exchanging one magical explanation for why they're moving for another.
Tangent, but Witcher vampires being ayylmaos and not muh undead is such a breath of fresh air.
Ahh yes, scary guy with sharp teeth afraid of the sun and herbs, whatever shall I do? Vs Literal fricking space homie who can turn into mist and kill 13 heavily armed men in .7 seconds
I just don't there's a way to make Zombies as interesting as vampires, like the above example, because they're so much more rigid in their presentation. Ironically maybe Warcraft, as the Forsaken are *technically* zombies but act with free-will and will happily eat someone.
I thought it was neat
fungi zombies > alien zombies > running zombies > walkers
What about occult/unholy zombies?
It was definitely unique, but I still prefer my gross RE virus monsters
2000s edgy zombies > space/plant/monster zombies
The first TLOU is legitimately great all around, perhaps the last of mainstream story games.
It's funny how times changed, and now the focus is on politics, culture whatever.

>Some fungus
>When all fungus do is rot things
That was moronic. Sci-fi stagnated after Alien and never recovered.

What's really cool is that other ants from the colony can recognise the infected ants. They pick up the bodies and dump far away from the colony.

But enough about the LGBT movement.
if its going to happen it'll come from china.
all this weird shit they eat could cause it
>zombies but you can just sneak past them
Cool or not, gameplay wise it was bad

But they're blind
U can just use your flashlight and walk past them
Only the clickers and bloaters are blind. The majority of the zombies you meet can see you.
whens the last time we had a take on zombie apocalypse that was directly supernatural?
actual ghost or demons or something are coming into the world and inhabiting the dead en mass and then preying on the living because they EVIL!!
>zombie origin reveal
>"it was made in a lab!!!"
At this point just make it fricking aliens or something. Anything else.
just curious here since you know so much. whats your ideal origins for a perfect monster?
Dead Space had a cool take on zombies
I, for one, am tired the reddit mind control fungus as well.
Necromorphs mog the shit out of all other zombie concepts.
>was killed by EA's greed
Oh are there actual in TLOU? I thought you killed humans. Never see people talk about them. What's the deal with them? Are they shrooms?
No it isn't
