ninjaholic 116 Posted July 23, 2012 So, I'm gonna keep it short.I shoot someone, I should be able to take the meat off their body like if I shot a cow, sheep, goat or chicken.Moral issues aside I'd eat every single one of you to survive if this was real. If it's good enough for the shufflers it's good enough for me.Discuss. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vertisce 158 Posted July 23, 2012 I think there is another thread with roughly the same idea in it. Creepy...you may have issues that need to be addressed. I am going to go for a no on this just because of the creep factor...that and I am pretty sure putting cannibalizm into the game would get a lot of negative press and cause some issues with a few laws out there. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drseptapus 49 Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) I admit it would be more realistic, however I think we would see a huge spike in banditry. Why risk looting a town crawling with zombies when you could just cap that noob and eat him? Not worth the players grief.

Bonesoe (DayZ) 3 Posted July 23, 2012 Rocket has already commented on cannibalism in DayZ. It will never be implemented because it would force Australia and New Zealand to ban the game and Rocket will never alienate entire regions of players from the game because of one little feature. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedFiction12 6 Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) +1 for cannibalism. I want it. And add Germany on your ban list! Edited July 23, 2012 by RedFiction12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whatbadguy 21 Posted July 23, 2012 Would be cool.. add respective side effects from eating too much human meat - but shouldn't because of the evil internet controlling politicians. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ninjaholic 116 Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) Oz censorship would ban the game based on the usage of the word cannibalism alone. Fair point Bonesoe. Edited July 24, 2012 by ninjaholic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ninjaholic 116 Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) In addition I'd like to add that technically cannibalism exists, since the zombies will snack on my corpse if I'm stupid or unlucky enough to end up on a grass/tarmac dinner table. So I don't see why it's not possible.Maybe because it is a player's decision to indulge, but the zombies aren't able to know any better?

SpiderJerusalem 3 Posted July 24, 2012 Maybe because it is a player's decision to indulge, but the zombies aren't able to know any better?Nope. It's all in the wording really. If it was changed to DayC & the zombies in the game were replaced with living human cannibals then it would be banned in all the over-censored countries. The fact is that zombies don't exist, the concept cannot alarm or offend anyone because nobody has died from a zombie attack & nobody has a family or cultural history of zombie-ism. But cannibalism... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miragenz 71 Posted July 24, 2012 Seems a tad creepy and unnecessary, there is plenty of food and meat out there as it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tyrog 10 Posted July 24, 2012 Cannibalism has been discussed 100 times.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lukio (DayZ) 24 Posted July 24, 2012 Could you at least elaborate what for? What is the benefit? What is the disadvantage to it? We could also eat tree bark or flowers, up till now there is no difference to your suggestion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ninjaholic 116 Posted July 25, 2012 (edited) Daisies are hardly a high kcal meal.If I was hungry after a firefight where I survivied in this situation in real life, I wouldn't go looking for a cow to shoot or risk death looking for a can of beans.You don't HAVE to do it. The point is choice, options, realism.I'm probably one of few people that doesn't care about cannibalism in day to day life, however in a survival situation I don't have any issues in eating what would otherwise be left for maggots so I don't have to waste precious kcals looking for some morally-correct dinner. That and I like thinking outside the (sand)box.I see what's not there and wonder "Why not?".Anyway, you can only eat certain kinds of bark. I know what they are, do you?

Strogg 23 Posted July 25, 2012 I would agree, as the aim of Day Z is realism and uninhibited behavior, but this is probably the one thing that would make the game unplayable.Killing new players is MUCH easier than scavenging food. They'll be worse off than the dodo bird. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jackrc11 15 Posted July 25, 2012 Idea: you can cut off small parts of people and throw them toward zombies to lure them away, but it WOULD attract them toward you when closer, since it's in your pockets/backpack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

moofactory 62 Posted July 25, 2012 I'll say this loud and clear for rocket.18+ for AU comes Jan 1, 2013.I think depending on how its done, should be no problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wulfsok 11 Posted July 25, 2012 I actually mentioned DayZ to a friend and he asked if you could canibalize players. He feels the game isn't a realistic zombie survival sim without cannibalism .I don't blame him. Put some debuffs with it considering it gives players another reason to kill noobs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hulahuga 29 Posted July 25, 2012 Would be awesome if they could add it :). Think The Road... Would add another element to the game, and won't just be a silly thing but a viable element of the story and the world, as said see The Road... :)Great with the AU and NZ adding an 18+ rating now :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
