My theory is that you were meant to explore the kitchen much earlier, and possibly that zombie is meant to be the 2nd one you encounter. However, they reworked the mansion and made you explore that one much later. That explains why there's this big build up to a regular zombie that you've killed lke 100 times up to this point.

Honestly, I never managed to play more than 5 minutes of this game specifically because of this fucking piece of shit.
I am unironically 38 years old though so I guess I am a boomer.

It’s honestly hilarious how they build the whole thing up with that slow tension and creepy piano sting, then you cap him with a single shell and it’s back to business. Peak 90s game design. Still, that first camera pan when he turns around gnawing on the corpse? Absolute cinema.

They did get me again with the birds, and then they would get me when there would be a similar L-shaped hallways with windows type rooms and present you with absolutely no obstacles. >>714647964 >effective villain in MGSV >effective villain >MGSV

This scene is a hundred times more effective because the zombie isn't just some snarling rotting corpse. It's a guy with fucked up skin who looks at you with total indifference before getting up and trying to kill you.

Wasn’t he much powerful than other zombies? Too bad he can still be head shotted by a shotgun >>714647964 > more effective villain in MGSV > MGSV
Bro!! We have been over this
It wasn't scary even back in the day, unless you were four years old. Capcom had to edit the screenshot they used in RE2's intro to try and salvage it.

I think he's inspired by the yellow cadaver zombie in Return of the Living Dead. They look pretty similar. Completely bald, waxy skin, clear eyes.

Okay then. The rest of us will still be playing games and shitposting.
