Just pretend that birds are like a reverse Typhoid Mary, they can get infected but can't spread it or something.

I mean basically every Pokemon is stupid OP on some level, but everyone knows about how fucking stupid the early Pokedex entries made them out to be.

>>15269947

Don't forget the ghost pokemon thats a cute sandcastle to lure in children to pull them beneath the sand like a venus flytrap that feeds on children.

>Can travel 200 miles in a single day.

>It took over a week for the United States to nuke the city.

Hell of an oversight on Capcom's part. There ought to have been zombie outbreaks in every major city of the continent.

>>15269979

Good excuse for an Outbreak file 3 though. They always commented on how teams of navy seals and local police had to keep it contained in towns in the arklay mountains.

Why would the crows leave the city though?

They pretty much had infinite food, same with the rats.

>>15269996

lack of competition probably. do you hunt where you compete with hunters and lickers or follow your nose to the township in the mountains 20 minutes away where all the shit in the city has yet to reach?

>>15269999

But they didnt have to compete.

While hunters, lickers and zombies had to eat live flesh, crows, rats and dogs were seen eating the zombies and discarded corpses.

>>15270004

You contradicted yourself.

>crows, rats and dogs were seen eating the zombies and discarded corpses

So the crows were competing with rats and dogs. Just because the food source is not alive doesn't mean there's no competition. There's competition among herbivores for grass and shit.

The crow is like the national bird of Japan. They don't have a gull problem, just huge crows everywhere. I was walking back to my hostel a few weeks ago at 5am and approached something moving, which turned out to be a big ass crow catching and eating rats. They do not fuck around. There's a reason they appear in games.

>>15271488

Seagulls are the fucking rats of the sky, pigeons get a bad rep.

>>15269973

Shame it's all M/F

Well Hypno is a rapist due to his pokedex entries.

>>15271515

What the fuck else would you want, fag?

>>15271588

>millions of aliens that killed most of the food

Aliens invade, kill all the food except Chinese take-away… they end up controlling the planet.

I guess they don't need to eat except for that ceiling camper. Damn that is OP.

>>15271588

It would be nice to have a dystopia game where you could stay/live/work in whatever 'safe' hub city there is and see enough varied action through trading, crafting, stealing, (in-game) politics, minigames of whatever sort and being a titanic jew that you don't instantly feel compelled go out into the shit and slaughter a billion scaly mutant cunts for their skin. Obviously that slaughterfest should be possible and doubtless many tasks could be set out there if the player is inclined to do them but I suppose you could also get rich in a casino then hire mercenaries to do jobs for you on the outside (with a lower return than if the play goes) if you're too much of a faggot or are too busy being a townie gangster or whatever.

>>15271846

To be honest Shrek was always a meme.

But this 30 years "boomer" shameless monster energy drink advertising is the worst.

>>15271893

It's shit but it's not as if it paints the 'drink' in a good light

>>15271879

There could be civil strife in the city that you deem more important than the world outside. So combat in and out of the city would be common enough if you stick your oar in. You also could hermit/ignore it until it was right on top of you then take the slimy route and sell arms to both sides.

yes it would have been nice if devs had some kind of good implementation that explained it from the storys angle

no i dont expect fiction to follow EVERY RULE IN REAL LIFE

>>15270002

Isn't the sun in TES games a hole in reality rather than a nuclear explosion in space?

>>15272014

Anon you must be funny at parties… oh wait!

As a genre, science fiction suffers from this the most, where creators make up a cool but haven't thought through all the implications this might have. Best recent example I can think of was SC2. That universe and gameplay cannot withstand any amount of critical thought. Like they added mining robots that drop in anywhere from an "orbital command." The fuck am I trying to build a shitty sim city under constant assault and running dudes through defenses on foot when we could Starship Troopers drop in? Or just do some kinetic bombardment on enemy defenses? I get why the gameplay doesn't have this stuff, but even the first game was more thoughtful about its world.

Similarly, most games that have giant spaceships that can fly at the speed of light, but somehow warfare isn't about hurling massive objects at the speed of light. Why invest in a death star when you could fling some giant asteroids at a fraction of the price? Light speed is OP.

>>15269947

This has always being true for Ghost and Dark types. G7 doubled it down by making the Dex descriptions more "animalistic" in general, there are a lot of references to ´depredations and whatnot.

>>15272056

Do you understand how big space is? The amount of energy needed to maintain light speed for large objects over large distances is physically impossible

>>15272071

Why would you need to maintain it? It maintains itself, faggot.

>>15272071

If you've got something in orbit and it can drop machines with that precision, I don't see why you can't launch a large enough chunk of something that won't vaporize while traveling through the atmosphere to explode whatever you want in the planet's surface.

>>15270002

>instant death against any single entity in the game if enough time passes

do you know what instant means

Rats are even worse.

>>15272056

Re: FTL and Relativity Weapons

Many FTL systems, such as the Hyperdrive from SW (ignoring Disney because it isn't SW), most warp drives, and "Jump" systems, do not actually increase the momentum of the vessel that much. Hyperdrives switches you to tachyonic matter, which can only go FTL and cannot interact with baryonic (normal) matter. Warp drives can distort your inertia, but disruption of the field drops you back into regular velocity, and impacts with the field up still only hit with that same distorted inertia (and therefore the same momentum). With jump systems, the ship goes into another dimension, but it's "realspace" momentum also remains the same because they exit the jump at the same speed, so transitioning back into realspace will drop their matter back to regular velocity.

>>15271973

I'm getting irritated just looking at this picture

>>15270643

>So the crows were competing with rats and dogs

Well you never see the animals in racoon city fight each other, they just eat zombies that dont really pay any attention to whats happening to them.

Go back to Reddit with that pathetic insult.

>>15272239

So little warpdrive skiffs and frigates that match speed with asteroids, catch them in their FTL/Hyperdrive/Mememagic field and efectively change their trajectory to smash it into a planet using its existing momentum?

While it's technically incorrect to say that death due to the sun would likely be to a sudden rapid exapansion, solar flare or supernova and the post barely even amounted to a shitpost let alone a joke, is it really that hard for /v/ to appreciate that an event can occur in an instant at a certain point in time that is not the present? I mean, there are countless video games out there where you get instant deaths/game overs after some arbitrary turn count or time limit, I'm pretty sure just about every jrpg has at least one boss with an ability like that, final fantasy even has its tonberrys not to mention stuff like metroid games where the entire area you're in is about to go to shit if you can't get out in time comes up a lot.

That's common in bestiaries, you should look at Digimon descriptions

>>15275821

Sounds okay to me

>>15271990

More or less, yeah. Physical reality is a bit screwy (read: bad at being a physical reality) in TES anyway, but the stars in particular are portals torn into reality to Aetherius, the aspatial, atemporal "space" of energy that's "behind" reality in TES.

Do you think she'd put her stigma down your urethra if you asked?

>>15271588

>living outside of any city would actually be 98% impossible in the hl2 universe

It's something that's really, really understated among fans (not to mention just completely forgotten by Valve themselves if Epistle 3 is anything to go by), but this is explicitly the case in Half-Life in the wake of the portal storms - by the time the Universal Union showed up, humanity had been congregating in fortress cities for years as a means of keeping themselves safe from all the invasive species that the Earth had suddenly picked up. Of course, as the Universal Union's occupation/draining of Earth drags on and more and as more invasive species find their way to Earth, things can only be expected to get so much worse still.

You okay anon?

Chryssalids from X-Com, you could easily have a single chryssalid wipe out entire nations thanks to being insanely fast, durable and it takes a single swipe to convert a victim into chryssalid fetus-carrying zombie that'll burst in mere minutes into a new chryssalid

>>15275660

That is feasible, yes. Although a powerful shield grid could block it. Do remember that a larger warp bubble will take significantly more power draw.

>>15275896

> OR HOME TOWARDS YOU

What? Is this true?

>>15275907

only on hard+ in serious sam 3, their projectiles now have actual mix up so you have to pay a bit of attention, but you can't if there's hundreds of kleers throwing projectiles and jumping at you, the homing effect is not overly strong but you still have to move to dodge it, but since there's projectile shooting elsewhere you might collide between the two projectiles out of the hundred of projectiles thrown at you.

>>15271990

Yes, and there are no laws of physics (our physics anyways, everything is magic). For anyone that disagrees, read the UESP pages on the et-Ada, Ehlnofey and Earth Bones. The dwemer thought otherwise however.

Also the planets aren't actually planets, I think, they're just representations of the 8 Divines.

>>15277895

I mean, they aren't planets like Nirn is. They appear to be more like stars.

Because you'll be wasting time and fuel cutting yourself off from the guys you're ordering around to go grab asteroid chunks because you need to break orbit to match the speed of whatever asteroids you're lucky enough to have nearby that you could realistically come to and back within about a few days.

All attacks from space involving an "orbital command" would have to already be prepared beforehand or orbital command would have to be a station, ship, or fleet capable of committing those kinds of attacks with their own weapons and means of producing ammo.

FYI any weapon capable of doing any significant harm at those distances would be on the level of a nuke or greater or it's not worth the effort just so you could dent a building with a big rock that is just going to be repaired anyways.
