/vr/ - Retro Games

Out of all the people complaining about butchers thinking their ideas can "fix" them, none of them ever consider the fact that all it takes not to be able to avoid their shots by laying on the ground is the smallest height difference possible.

Which is exactly what the game does, all the time, pic related, and actually it works even if the height difference is smaller than that. It's the same concept with Grey Gargoyles btw though the game doesn't do it as often with them since they're more dangerous per nature, it's still a thing.

Then, when there is no height difference, there is always usually something else, like a group of zombies rushing at you at the same time, thus putting the player in a bad position if he insists on staying low, at least until he gets rid of them; or the area is cramped and they have a higher chance of hacking you at close range (again, laying low doesn't help for that either).

Also if you've never tried to throw a dynamite at a butcher, only to have the butcher's knife explode the dynamite in your face as you throw it, you just haven't played enough Blood.
