It details how 60% of our diseases originate from domesticated animals, and how it's possible for an infection to travel along a particular food chain.his argument is also almost entirely based on conjecture. that's an entertainment spot for vsauce, not a serious scientific examination of the plausibility of such a thing. im not convinced.

Well when you put "suddenly" into the equation that's when it becomes impossible.Watch the video. It details how 60% of our diseases originate from domesticated animals, and how it's possible for an infection to travel along a particular food chain. Viruses mutate to accommodate their hosts mang.
Yeah, they do, but it isn't making it any more plausible for a fungus that, as of now, targets the brains and bodies of ants to do the same to humans. It'd take quite a while for them to go from infecting ants to, say, infecting rodents, to larger animals, and so on, all the way to humans. So no, the concept itself is still not realistic. At least, not in the time frame we're given in the story.
You're right about one thing, that if you take out the zombies the story is realistic, but you could say the same about pretty much anything. Take out the Conduits in inFamous, and the story is realistic. Take out the talking animals and robots in Sonic the Hedgehog, and story is realistic. Take out the unrealistic elements, and the story is realistic.
no mordo i just think your entire argument is flat out retarded
here, let me clue you in on some #relevanthistoricalinformationthe confucians have long believed in a concept called "the rectification of names," which encourages proper nomenclature of things so as to catalyze social harmony. so, when you take words like "realism," dilute the meaning and apply it to define something that... isnt realistic at all... that's a breach of proper confucian conduct, and you are fostering social enmity instead of harmony

having or showing a sensible and practical idea of what can be achieved or expected.
that may exist or happen, but that is not certain or probable.
im arguing that The Last of Us isnt a realistic game. it's only realistic in the sense that it takes place on our earth and has human characters who use guns and stuff. the non-realistic story elements, such as the fungus zombies, comprise the overarching theme and therefore it is inherently based in non-reality. so, it's a very bad example of a "realistic game."sure, if you ignore all the unrealistic elements of the game, then it becomes realistic... but the fundamental idea of The Last of Us isnt realistic at all.

I said it was as close as any videogame has ever gotten to the post apocalyptic setting due it's attention to grit, and the fact that it uses actual real life viral pathogens.Christ, this forum really needs a crash course in basic literacy.oh hey shit we've gotten to the backtracking stage of losing an argumentgood golly god damn kid you're a goldmine of impotent rhetoricPlease, I'd love for you to point out in my posts where I stated that TLOU was a realistic game.
What do you mean by realism? Realistic combat like Operation Flashpoint, or realistic(ish) settings and backdrops like The Last Of Us?
Prolly just going to get the mods in to lock this thread.This forum is literally cancer. Don't know why I bother spending time here.
friendly reminder that realism=/=quality gameplay
