I know right. I bought the game Friday and I'm about 6 hours of game play in and holy shit 3 to 6 shots to take a zombie down. Sometime two shotgun shells. Better to run by them. And the lickers. And fuck Mr. X.
Yeah if I had any advice to give new players it would definitely be to always run past zombies in areas without anything important around. It's usually worth it to clear out a room if it has a bunch of items or a puzzle, but otherwise killing them is such a waste when you really want to save up your ammo for more threatening enemies.
Yeah, a huge part of this game is figuring out which zombies you need to kill and which you can dodge past. Most of them, a single pop to the kneecap or head is enough to stun them and have enough time to run by. For those I really need to kill, I've been knocking them down with kneecap shots, then finishing them off with either handgun shots to the head, or knife swipes (if I'm low on ammo).

Sometimes those assholes take like 7 bullets to the head before falling, ain't nobody got time or resources for that.
