One Question I had that still puzzles me...
How hard is it to find silencers for they're guns!!!?? I mean if the sound of gunshots attracts zombies, wouldn't someone come up with the brilliant idea of looking for silencers???

I guess your right.
Toilet paper roll. Genius!
Silencers arn't that common, They dont completly silence gunshots, they dont attach to many guns. Plus its also that your wasting the ammo as much as making noise.
Really its one of those things that dosnt really make sense, they really should put silencers on everything but when its hard just to survive many people just dont think about these things
Silencers are very easily made with everyday items, not as effective as factory made silencerss but much better than nothing at all. I honestly see this as a game flaw, but not a major one.
Even the TV show barely uses silencers. Not really a game flaw since it isn't the only one not to do it. In the TV show I remember Carl having a silencer on his pistol like once or twice but not lately.
And that is a flaw in the show, but seeing as we were talking about the game, it would be a 'game' flaw.
Silencers? Too obvious.
I'd like to see them attach a boombox to a radio controlled helicopter and use that to distract zombies. Be inventive goshdarnit.
Saints Row meets Fallout 3 meets Walking Dead.
I dig it!

Not having something in a game doesn't make it a flaw, otherwise I would find it a flaw that I didn't get to get down with Carly. Besides, using everyday items (pillows) is a waste of a useful item if it is destroyed in the process: better to just go melee.
Many people found it a flaw in the game that you couldn't have sexual relations with the characters. Perhaps writing flaw is a better phrase to use, but since the writing is the story and therefore game, it is still a game flaw. Sometimes close range isn't possible, being able to shoot without getting a herd on your ass would always be helpful.
In Max Payne 3, Max made a silencer out of duct tape and a plastic bottle. It wasn't great, but hey, it was better than nothing. You'd think someone in TWD would be able to figure it out, but on the other hand, it would remove the firearm's status as a big risk, possibly reducing tension, and therefore excitement. It could harm the game's atmosphere.
What do you mean by Fallout 3? Is there some sort of Dildo Gun mod? And... uh... just for curiosity, you know... link please?
They probably have, but none that I know of.
Nah, was just referring to the custom built weapons in Fallout 3, like the Rock-It-Launcher.
Haha Giraffe... "Dildos? Where?!?"
Lol but the character haven't showered in months, I'm pretty sure they'd catch an infection if they had sex
That isn't really common knowledge (I didn't know that) and they can't go out on Google to look it up (no internet). Doug could probably whip something like that up.
Really? An STD is caused by lack of hygiene?...............................
..........
In the country it is very common knowledge, and many of the people we have met are... back woods type.
True story, bro.
How many people even have this knowledge, though? The majority of people who have their stories shown on TWD (and in general) aren't weapons experts or even enthusiasts. Most probably don't even know what a silencer is, guns are simply something they have to include in their everyday lives now, regardless of how they view firearms. Not to mention that professionally made silencers don't even completely silence a gun, if a makeshift one is even worse then what's the point? It'd be a waste of resources.
For science!
..right?
The difference between sort of silent and not silent at all could mean the difference between no zombies and 50 of them.Most people have seen a move where a gun is shoved into a pillow and fired (even done in this game), anyone with any sense could see that transfered to a makeshift silencer. "Most probably don't even know what a silencer is," really?..
I'm just not seeing it. You're still going to attract whatever is in the immediate area and walkers are just about everywhere. Even if the silencer lessens that area, walkers are slow and ones who would be attracted by the unsilenced gunshot probably wouldn't reach you in time, anyway (provided you shoot and gtfo). Regardless of noise, there are still issues like ammo and finding the resources to create a silencer, which is uncommon knowledge. Also, I really wouldn't look to a movie for survival or combat knowledge, but that's just me. And why is it so hard to believe that a lot of people don't know what silencers are? A lot of people don't know basic geography or the difference between your and you're simply because it doesn't interest them or its not relevant to their daily lives. Same goes with gun terminology, namely clips and magazines.
You don't see it? Not really sure how to make it more clear.... If you need to fire chances are you are already in deep shit. If you could have just run you would have done it to start with. Less area of noise = less zombies. Ammo would still be a problem, but if you had to shot why not make it worth shooting? Besides it's less ammo you would use if you attract 4 zombies and not 9. As I said earlier they are easily made with everyday items. While it may be uncommon knowledge it is common sense. And unless you are a survivalist you would most definitely look to forms of media you have seen for ideas on how to survive.It's hard to believe one doesn't know what a silencer is because everyone knows what a fucking silencer is -_- You don't need to know anything about guns to know what a silencer is... it's like knowing what a bullet or a scope is...
Right, if you're in deep shit, what's the point of the silencer? What's the difference between four or nine zombies when you have a bullet or two? That ammo you're using with your silenecer has to dwindle or run out at some point, thats why shots are used pretty sparingly. It boils down heavily to what the scenario is, a silenecer could be useful in a lot of situations, but in the same respect it'd be useless in just as many. I just don't think its the end all be all or miracle tool you're making it out to be. The thing with TWD is, anything can happen at any time, one zombie could be the end of you, like it was with Lee, no matter how well equipped you are. And looking at media I can walk around with a cocked gun with my finger on the trigger and never experience any sort of incidecent, or I could drop a gun and have it fire when most modern firearms have a drop safety feature. Looking to media is a mostly stupid idea when things are done for flash and style. And its a horrible assumption to say everybody knows what a silencer is, I saw in another one of your comments that you live in a place where guns and knowledge of them are common so I can see why you'd think that. But not every place is like that, there is a lot of ignorance in general when it comes to firearms and its really not far fetched that there are people in the world who don't know what a silencer is.
But yeah, like I said, I'm really just not seeing it and I think its just an agree to disagree subject.
Also, off topic but sorry for all the typos, on my mobile and its kind of a pain to edit things on here.
don't wash your junk for a week and see what happens. hell go without for a day or two you could break out or get a rash. now imagine going months running and sweating and I think id rather f'ck myself. just saying Sex in the walking dead is gross, I don't care how you look.
Hell most people in the walking dead are lucky enough just to pull off a headshot or know how to reload there guns and take off their safety. (I can honestly say I don't know how to reload a pistol) so how the fuck are they supposed to make ghetto ass silencers that probably wont work?
Sex is always gross, that's what makes it fun. And there is a difference between an infection and a rash.
Don't you remember in the second episode I think, when there was a zombie next to a car and lee used a pillow to silence his gun?
What if you have 6 bullets? You are missing the point so I will dumb it way the fuck down. If it's 1 zombie vs 50000000 zombies, choose 1 zombie. It isn't that hard to comprehend. Useless in just as many situations? No, it wouldn't, especially because it can be taken off (derp). Looking at media is the only way half of the people in the world know what their own names are, if the ZA did happen we would make assumptions on.. idk... zombie movies?? How is that a horrible assumption? Go to a city, ask if they know what a silencer is, go to a farm house and ask if they know, go to a log cabin and ask if they know, go to an under ground bunker and ask them... there is no where you will find where they don't know what a silencer is unless they are very young or completely retarded (or extremely isolated like certain african tribes, but not like the ZA would affect them). It is extremely far fetched. I see you don't see, and I think it's an open your eyes and stop being stubborn subject. It's ok to be wrong sometimes. But go down swinging if you must.
Thinking ability.
ok whatever yeah everybody knows how to make silencers and is a professionaly trained soldier and has Rambo as there cousin, you win. there you get what you want cause I don't feel like talking bout this.
Im guessing you like the homeless chicks/guys whatever your preference is. an untreated rash can lead to an infection especially if you're constantly scratching it.
Yeah! Tha's the same reason I keep those printouts of Zombie nudes
suppressors are actually difficult to just find laying around... Also you don't just stick one on a weapon... As far as pistols go, you need to have a threaded barrel, possibly an adaptor to make sure the threads match, and not all models but a lot require a recoil booster in order for the weapon to cycle properly. Also without tall "suppressor sights" you can't get a proper sight picture (which is essential when only brain shots count)... As far as rifles go, pretty much the same deal, and subsonic ammo is required in order for it to be any kind of quiet, (not really all that available unless you're hand loading) and it still is pretty loud... Truly the biggest advantage to using suppressors would be the ability to communicate easier while operating...
... Not saying that it's impossible to have come across one, but most gun stores in the u.s. Don't have that kind of stuff on stock...
It isn't about being a pro soldier, it's about having common sense. The gun is silent when put into a pillow... now how do you make the mobile? "cause I don't feel like talking bout this." and yet you answered. Derp.
Haven't tried it.... yet.
Hey man, there's absolutely no reason to be rude just because somebody doesn't see eye to eye with you. Why come to a website based heavily on discussion and debate when you're going to get mad and take low blows if someone doesn't agree with you? It just takes all of the fun out of everything.
That being said, there's no dumbing it down, theres no being stubborn, etc. Like I said in my previous post, its entirely situational, a silenecer would be useful sometimes and others it wouldnt. Again, its not the miracle tool you're making it out to be. That right there shows I'm not being stubborn as I'm partially agreeing with you. And my point with the media is that sure it would happen, but that doesn't make it a good idea and I think you'd end up dead way sooner going about things this way. And following your train of thought, you can go to google and see "what is a gun silencer" is a popular search query.
Like I said before, respectfully agreeing to disagree. We can argue all day and night but its pretty pointless when you're just looking to prove a point and not really hear anything else.
