Wtf... I just found out zombies are going to be armed in Resident Evil 6. Not sure how I feel about that. I guess with the progression of the virus and the infected they would eventually adapt... But, I dunno, I don't know the story well enough.

On the face of it, I don't like it. I don't know what's so wrong with the traditional zombie style games. I guess you have to adapt though if you don't want to turn obsolete in the gaming world. As long as it's not a lot like Operation Raccoon City, I'll be happy.

Good point, I agree about knives and such. They've actually had that in past RE games. Yeah, guns seem a bit much, but who knows. I'm definitely buying it, so I'll keep you posted Matt.

RE has always been a little more out there than your usual zombie material. That Nemesis dude and shit like that.

They aren't zombies. They are like the Ganados (zombies) from RE4, which used weapons. Surely you haven't forgotten your best friend J.J., right?

And even if you have forgotten him, why have you forgotten the asshole zombies with ROCKET LAUNCHERS?

lol, I love Resident Evil. But I don't think I have ever finished a game all the way. Story usually loses me. I love the horror aspect, but... I dunno.

Not sure what character you are but I played the rapper as he specialized in blunt weapons which I found when customized did great damage to bosses

I picked the QB. I should be the rapper because it seems easier to swing things than to throw things.

you can still wing with him. but he specializes in throwing. I will replay it with the asian girl who specializes in cutting weapons next

That's a trip. 96 and 2001 were some of my favorites.

She dies way too easily.

I played it through with the rapper guy and played the whole thing on co-op with a guy (who's generally better at video games than me) who was the Asian lady, and he was dying left and right.

For what it's worth, even the zombie master George A. Romero started allowing his zombies to have guns in the movies.

yeah a few posts back (maybe a page or two) we talked about that. it was in Day of the Dead and Land of the Dead that they started to remember how to use things. Day of the Dead had Bub.. he was "taught" to play a walkman (yes thats right kids we had WalkMans) and trained to hold a gun which he later figured out how to shoot with.

Big Daddy in Land of the Dead used a machine gun and pumped gas ...... sigh

Sorry, must have missed that post.

But you know, great minds and all.

I still shudder at the gun scenes in those 2. never liked them. nor big daddy pumping gas. or a zombie blowing a musical horn.... dont they have no working lungs for breath? I never got that. I understand he wasn't playing a note but it was making enough noise that air was being pushed through the instrument.

CMON - this is where George started to lose it to me. then Diary of the Dead came out... good grief, then the last which at least I hope is the last Romero movie . Survival of the Dead. that was the most god awful movie.
