Just want to know how everyone feels about this really, been playin Thief 3 and find yet zombies are back again in it

why do they do it?? I find it spoils games like that to be honest, Far Cry, Halflife, Resident Evil are games which i find suit it fine but Thief why? other games which had this also are Perfect Dark (N64) cud hav stayed normal but no instead u suddenly find yerself in space fightin aliens :bucky!:

so wot u guys/gals think? And post any others u feel spoilt 2 :thumbup:

(One day u will find a giant slug sneakin after u on splinter cell if it continues like this :dennis: )

Painfull Subject wich reminds me off RTCW and Far Cry, in my opinion to REALY REALY Great FPS but the containing of Zombies/Monsters, totaly spoiled it, so that they'v become no more then a good FPS to me(i know there are much people who swear by Far Cry)

yep its a killer, i accepted the far cry nasties cos they just looked so nice but i have been pissed off in the past about many a game jus going that bit 2 far and i dont think its ever gonna change

It brings me to tears. Psi-Ops is a perfect example. Far Cry too. Thief also, oh and RTCW as said above.

zombies and monsters make games suck. they're stupid and takes away the realism of the game.

i think thief is braught down due to the zombies and monsters, but RTCW i thought it suited it quite well, just showing that the nazis were doing experiments and dabling in the occult and shit (which they suposedly was) so that i dont mine, same with far cry, yes some games shouldnt have them in, but if i was the boss, i wouldnt put monsters and aliens in ANY game, i thing they lack realism, terrorists etc are much better enemies in games, it may be an old concept but it IS the most real, you cant argue with that, terrorists are an everyday threat, monster and aliens...come on, when did you last see an alien race take over an important building...lol, doom 3 is all about monsters so ill let that off, also the game is more horror, so thats fine, obviously i wouldnt expect resi evil to drop having zombies in thier games (which they seem to be doing in number 4, but pretend that isnt happening) but halo and even the unreleased halo 2 was made disapointing and unrealistic due to the main concept of the game, aliens, wtf, why aliens, id prefare monsters to aliens, im not saying the game wasnt good, it was, but spoilt by the enemies, and they were thick as pig shit which didnt help.

i know games follow storys that require aliens/zombies/monsters, but in games that are in general quite realistic such as thief it just makes it stupid (i am enjoying the game tho, just thought id add that

)

Well to be object I must add, that Thief3 is a game of fantasy, you incorporate Garrett, who substituted one of his eyes for a crstal which enables him to zoom in on stuff....
Hello???The game does not demand realism, and all of you who rant about the realism, there is ratfolk and some kind of lizardmen too in the game.Folks, if a game has a setting of epic fantasy and style there is no problem about zombies:Aren Â´t there any roleplayers on this site who share my opinion?

i didnt vote, generally the inclusion of zombies and things do ruin games. but... there are some that do it well, riddick on xbox being a perfect example.

how do they do it in riddick? simple: put you in a pitch black pit, give you only approx. 7mins of flashlight, and only a couple of clips of shotgun ammo, and make you RUN FOR YOUR LIFE as mutants come from all angles to kill you!

I STILL HAVE NIGHTMARES DAMMNIT!

i agree with many of you.. in some games it feels like the artists were going in some general direct, and they were doing it well. and then some freak decides to throw in some aliens, because "it can't hurt", but in some cases it does.
