what I love about the modern zombie concept isn't the "murder with no guilt" concept you see in more arcade like zombie games (although some may be fun) but the either survival enfasis or the fear of human desperation, the horror doesn't come from the zombies itself but from your fellow man and the thought of surviving another day in a world with no empathy.

[@zombieranger3410]

I would say Project Zomboid is probably my favorite zombie title, it has a lot more realistic things like having to remove broken glass before climbing through, nutrition of food, depression and boredom, random "meta" events that attract zombies, power and water going out, sickness, cars that actually need the keys, the list goes on.

flood are not zombies, they are a parasite that takes over a host and connect to a hivemind. the victim is still alive and conscious even after infection but is unable to control their body, only sit and think to themselves as they watch the infection form control them.

I did a project on the book Warm Bodies, and during my entire presentation the class and judges just looked at me strangely due to the simple nature of the story. The assignment asked us to break down the actual goings on of the story and not the nuance. Afterward I spoke with a judge because I was kinda nervous about how well I did, and brought up why I like zombie stories. It's not the actual creatures that are fascinating, but the moral dilemma they present. When stripped of laws and put into a world where your only goal is to survive, what do you do? Would you still be what many consider a good person? What psychological effects would this type of apocalypse have? I also explained the other parts of what makes WB a good book. The great dialogue, pacing, and characterization are all key to the story. After my explanation, she told me I was one of the smartest teenagers she's ever met. Story time ending, those things are what makes zombie movies good. In terms of gameplay the concept of zombies is a perfect fit. You can mold them to horror OR just kill them in droves. An enemy that you have basically an infinite amount of which you can fight? Beautiful. Or you can go the Walking Dead route and see the moral issues of the apocalypse. Resident Evil like games go for horror. Breaking down how popular culture works is a favorite pastime for me, if you couldn't tell. Thank you for reading, I don't know how to end this comment well.

Generally Awesome ahem, The Last Of Us and Dead Rising

[@psychostormtrooper3827]

I think the flood from halo 3 is the most unique zombie experience. The enemies were so vile that it literally made me sick when I played it.

[@tytk]

I truly do cream at your uploads. Your content is fucking god tier.

[@6EnemyPerfect]

Game: Day Z or Left for Dead. Movie: Dawn of the dead, return of the living dead. Song: Thriller duuuh lol

[@Jessie_Helms]

So does Ahoy compose all his music himself? I love the music he puts in the videos.

[@rlowellm]

Always intriguing to see the history of our culture. But watching this only makes me wonder... Will you ever cover the two other timeless monsters - vampires and werewolves?

RIP George A. Romero

[@alphanumeric6582]

No matter how much this genre gets hit, it always come back. Like a zombie

[@philipclark5962]

Dying light is the best modern zombie video game and Resident Evil 1-3 are the best of the 90s

[@Dourkan]

Indeed.

[@snafu1433]

Veteran Gamer Ever heard of No More Room in Hell? Try that, it's great.

[@sirfijoe450]

I'm gonna go ahead and say L4D2 requires much more teamwork and in my opinion is better, but each to their own

[@zombieranger3410]

Opinionated, for Project Zomboid is CLEARLY THE BEST GAME OF ALL TIME NOT OPINION

[@jooot_6850]

project zomboid? now that's a name i havent heard in a long time

[@boofiman6082]

"When will it die?" Metal Gear Survive. Yeah.

[@batnerd5148]

I’m pretty sure both Zombies and Metal Gear will come back, buddy. The only problem with the later is getting the rights away from Konami, once Hideo Kojima wants to make another game.

[@miabobeea2644]

You make such high quality videos and have made so many so far! I am in awe at your capabilities!

[@bimalpandey9736]

0:16 they'll kepp just doing what?

[@zedek_]

11:20 Showing Halo while talking about Zombies going out the door is a little discordant. After all, The Flood is an important antagonist, and they are basically space zombie hivemind aliens. Not to mention a ton of games had "zombie modes" or "horde mode," like Counter Strike.

[@rekius328]

Counter Strike never had a zombie mode, if you are talking about the nexon games. they are modifications of 1.6 and are not in the main counter strike series.

[@Farazishaq001]

Such high production value with little to no ads. Amazing

[@rafeed2719]

The next video is Iconic Arms? I can't wait :D

[@Prowbar]

Me too mate :)

[@themoon9192]

I am with you there.

[@ShadowMark3_]

The M60? Only popular gun I can think of.

[@themoon9192]

+Call of duty:infinite warfare I would like to see a Lee Enfield.

[@RemusNeo]

Very nice video Stu! :D

"They're coming to get you, Barbara" - Night of the Living Dead "We're coming to get you, Barbara!" - Shaun of the Dead Amazing

[@lurkerrekrul]

Resident Evil has "slightly" awkward controls??? The horrible controls are the number one reason I've never played through any of the RE games. It's like the designers went out of their way to make controlling the game as difficult as possible. Anyway... One thing I've never understood is why there are so few campaign oriented, single-player zombie FPS games. You have multi-player games, co-op games, survivalist games, tactical games, sandbox games, etc. But when it comes to straight-forward FPS games with a single-player campaign, you can practically count the zombie games on the fingers of one hand and probably half of those games aren't very well liked. Sure, zombies show up in a lot of FPS games, like Half-Life, Blood, etc, but why are there so few FPS games exclusively focusing on traditional undead zombies?

Project Zomboid

[@Elmias]

I was a bit surprised bc there was no Prototype games. Good stuff with viral infection zombies.

[@cryamistellimek9184]

I like how Ahoy shows Halo as part of the sign that zombie games were falling from popular culture yet it had one of the scariest forms of the “undead” in video games. A great video, just found it a little humorous.

[@killonsin99]

I remember watching this 3 years ago.

[@blackwood4734]

2018: t's already dead 2019: Hold up let me dig up it's corpes but with some better promising
