Chris Forbis of PlatformNation.com examines the questions of zombies making everything better in this week's STIR. He also asks the question - what if we replaced zombies with Santa? Does Santa make everything better? Click through to see what Chris and other writers at Platform Nation had to say - and add your thoughts about what zombies have made better, or worse, or could make awesome.
It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.
The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.
Scrawl: "Looks like we know how that new Compile Heart countdown is going to end. The latest issue of Famitsu has confirmed that Agarest Senki 2, known as Record of Agarest War 2 in the US, is Compile Heart’s newest title."
1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.
If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).
Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.
Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.
@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.
I approve of this god damn message.
Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.
There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.
Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.
Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
This is not the first time that Bless Online receives a server merge in Korea. An announcement was made on the official Korean site.
Bless must be an amazing game to be on all these platforms (according to the tags): iPad iPhone Nintendo DS PC PS Vita PS2 PS3 PS4 PSP Wii Wii U Xbox Xbox 360 Xbox One
Yes.
do zombies make everything better? i know i hate the COD series but i did buy WaW on amazon several months ago for 15$ just to play zombie mode. and then i bought map packs to play der riese and verruckt........and i'm totally addicted. also addicted to dead nation too!
and i HOPE valve will eventually bring L4D to ps3!!
yea - i'd say zombies make everything better!
Yes
yes because it adds the a Guns vs hordes of melee attackers, something that is best explained with the inclusion of zombies in an otherwise shooter only game.
I dont think it is the zombie aspect so much as it is the horde aspect of things that people seem to love so much...this is the reason why I think that zombies SHOULDN'T be in every game, but a horde like melee attack enemy SHOULD.
and when I say horde I don't mean "horde mode" like in gears of war. That, imo, was very boring because it was pretty much campaign mode, just with no story. What I would have liked would have been like a Spire mode, in which gears fend off increasingly difficult waves of melee only Spires and maybe wretches too.
I like William Johnson's response to "What would be awesome with zombies in it?" A GTA: Zombie Apocalypse would be an interesting game to play. It would make the 'survival' aspect of Survival Horror much more fun to play in a free roaming environment. I didn't play Undead Nightmare because, while I'm sure it deserved every award it's received to date, and Rockstar hasn't disappointed me yet, I couldn't really get into RDR. I do like the concept though. I'd buy an Undead Nightmare add-on for GTA IV.
