Humanity gets stomped either way, so I don’t see how it’s far worse. The Flood would probably be quicker or more efficient about it since they’re far more intelligent once a Gravemind has formed, but we aren’t gonna last long against either. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a few factors; violence. Halo, barring it's expanded universe stuff, dosen't show the excess violence and cruelty the Necromorph outbreak in 2 does. You see the entire outbreak. You have them ripping apart fleeing civillians, breaking into homes and killing elderly people sick in their beds, there's even a section were it's clear they killed an entire school worth of children. It's way more overt in the sheer horror these things would produce if they got loose in a city 2; Flood infection is usually formed through physical contact with an infection form, while the Necro's are reanimated by a signal, which also causes 90 percent of people in the area to go fucking ballistic and insane. It's a way more effective system then the little popcorns going onto your face. And 3...the Necro's won. They devoured humanity, while the flood was defeated twice.

Halo, barring it's expanded universe stuff, dosen't show the excess violence and cruelty the Necromorph outbreak in 2 does. That’s just it. Halo is less gruesome in its depiction because it’s an action game and not a horror game. If the Flood appeared in real life, they’d be way more terrifying than they are in the game. 1 hour ago, BigBossBalrog said: 2; Flood infection is usually formed through physical contact with an infection form, Of which there are trillions. I wouldn’t say it’s remotely ineffective considering that they wiped out High Charity in a matter of hours. 1 hour ago, BigBossBalrog said: And 3...the Necro's won. They devoured humanity, while the flood was defeated twice. The Flood would have easily devoured Dead Space humanity as well. Completely overtaking High Charity in less than a day is a far greater feat than destroying Earth in any amount of time. The only two ways that the Flood has been stopped were killing all life in the galaxy to starve it, or getting them all on the same planetary body and blowing it up. We wouldn’t have those options in the real world. I honestly don’t see how it’s not either a tie or at least very close. They’d both just devour everyone within the first day or two of arriving. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even fast ones aren’t really gonna be much of a threat if people are smart and have guns. The 2005 War of the Worlds aliens might be a good choice. I mean, they are extremely deadly and the way they kill people is painful and disturbing, but if you can last a few days they’ll just die from bacteria and you’re good to go. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if their iconic, it's why Resident Evil always has other enemies or moves onto another B.O.W, zombies just aren't what they used to be when Romero was kicking I remember watching that and thinking "Wait that's fucking it.

Even in the OG Night of the Living Dead, they were only really a threat because the characters were trapped in the middle of nowhere. It even ends with a few guys with guns just passing through and killing them all. Yeah, I liked that movie, but the ending felt like such a cop out. It wasn’t even really a 'war'. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking more genre saturation; when it was released it was pretty chilling depicting these undead abominations that can shrug off most damage. Shambling corpses that will rise from the ground and overwhelm you no matter how much you prepare. And then the copy cats came in and those kinds of zombies become a dime a dozen and its yawn inducing now. In the zombie resurgence of the last decade, I think the thing that made stuff like the Walking Dead so popular was infusing all the human drama into it rather then the zombies themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is funny because the best episode by far was the first one, and it was almost entirely just about a man fighting zombies and looking for his family. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That guy is wordy, repeats himself a lot, and seems pretty melodramatic ("without us, you are NOTHING!"). But I get his point and he’s probably not wrong. I doubt it’s legal for a site to remove a creator’s control over their work like that unless they sold them the rights to it (which I’m pretty sure they can’t do since profiting off of mods for Bethesda’s game isn’t legal either). If a person records their voice for a character and uses Nexus as a means to share those recordings, I doubt Nexus has the right to claim their voice. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine bringing something like this to court, and the old judge is all confused at what the fuck is brought before him Probably depends on where you are. I wasn’t under the impression that mods were not 100% owned by their creators due to the fact that they’re made using Bethesda’s brand and toolset. This is why projects like Skywind have to be entirely voluntary and can get shut down the moment a creator tries to earn a penny off of them. But Steam is a complete third party in the dynamic, not tied to Bethesda or the mod creators, so I don’t see how they could have any claim to the content. It’s a hosting site, like the internet equivalent of renting a room in an outlet mall to sell shoes from. The mall doesn’t have any right to those shoes. But I’m just spitballing here. I really have no idea. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
