I'd like to take this time, dear reader, to discuss how zombie games are shit and reflect the depressing personalities of the player base.
Overall the idea of fighting zombies plays for a good game. Having dead people as the enemy, players have an excuse to kill humanoids in a brutal way without feeling sympathetic. Alongside that, some amount of storyline can be made up around the idea that the enemies are undead people. But how much can you milk this idea? At some point shitty storylines of mutation and other sci-fi garbage must clash, resulting in copyrite infringement. Like, how many times can a mad scientist screw up an experiement leading to the world ending if you, a typical human male with a remarkable set of combat skills, don't fight them all to save the entire planet? The only reason any of these games are making some amount of profit is because other game developers keep promoting it. Luckily vampires haven't taken over videogames, because the people interested in that are lovesick preteens masturbating on the bathroom floor to a love scene in a Twilight fanfiction. Vampire obsession has taken over the writing industry (or whatever you want to call it), thank God.
Now let's talk about the people who play these games. Anyone I've met who is a part of this "zombie craze" is a complete unoriginal douchebag. They seem to spend their time on tumblr reblogging shitty memes all day long with photos of them being camwhores with their striped sweaters and emo hair. You'll most often find them reaching the leaderboards of CoD or whatever the shitty "trendy" game is currently. They follow the internet crowd, yet try to be as indie as possible, which is why they turn to zombies, a once semi-rare interest, turned mainstream. Overall the reintroduction of these shitty games is continuing the trend of shitty unoriginal people with no lives. But of course, that's how these game companies are making their money. Also if you don't like zombie games, you're considered an outcast, considering half of arcade games use the typical human vs. undead shit idea.
If the world could just get past this horrible idea, maybe some better games could start being made?? Like why the fuck does Call of Duty: Black Ops: Zombies exist?! The title itself is hilarious. The Call of Duty part LOL, the Black Ops part LOLOL then they have to add ZoMbIeS?!!!!LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL way to milk that cow dry. Fucking disgusting. And alas, what promted me to even bring up this shitty topic, (http://www.joystiq.com/2014/02/09/omg-hd-zombies-shuffling-aimlessly-toward-steam-on-february-13/?ncid=rss_truncated OMG HD ZOMBIES!) It's like a joke now, yet no one is taking it as one. I think that people are actually making fun of the zombie fandom with the title "OMG" and having an "HD" version of the game. But the sad part is that more than 90% (my estimate) of players actually doesn't realize this, and will legitimately play this game because they think that zombies are popular. These players are just going with the flow of what popular, clueless to the fact that the game they're playing is probably a shittier version of the last 50 or so zombie arcade games of the year.
But I guess if you're a cheap unoriginal dumbass with a slight interest and knolwedge of game development, now's the time to cash in on these weak useless customers with a zombie title. Have at it.
