GR writes: "So why do we so frequently find ourselves exploring the abandoned Earth, confronted by the mutated leftovers of the human race? And why does the post-apocalyptic wasteland setting remain such a popular destination among gamers? Have we not yet had our fill of the same muddied colour palette and hostile oversized rats/spiders?"
Amazon has announced its gaming lineup for May 2024 and it is one of the better months especially if you are an Amazon Prime subscriber.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
If you are looking for an awesome RPG, look no further. Steam is offering a significant discount on its Fallout Franchise Bundle.
"You can get all Fallout games in a bundle at a significant 20% discount on Steam. Individually, all these games add up to $244.91. With the discount, you can get them all for $195.91. That is $49 less than the original price. Quite a significant discount for such a popular franchise."
😊 😂 🤣 😐 - But why?
Just wait for a sale and get most if not all of it for a fraction of that price.
20% off...lol
The original games have been given out for free by Amazon for GOG and Epic, 76 is free now on Amazon if you have prime, Epic has also given out new Vegas for free and 4 has gone down to pretty cheap prices. 194 bucks is a total ripoff when you can get these games individually for less. Don't forget cd keys might sell em for a dollar less at times too. Come on man, us cheapskates won't touch anything near or above 100 lolz
It's a theme that fits into a large range of ideas and concepts. Post apocalyptic games can be retro, soviet, beautiful, zombie filled, horror, scifi and pretty much any genre or game type. Plus you get games like TLOU and Fallout that just work wonders.
It's a perfect scenario for unrestricted murder and challenges like survival, hunting, etc. Plus it makes for an extreme situation that makes people/characters less pretentious (due to the lack of comforts of everyday life), thus making them feel more "real". It's a good scenario for action, drama, and hunting/gathering.

Because it's coming!!

All we want is the GAS!!!
I like Fallout 3 because it gives me hope, that even after a Nuclear Holocaust there is a chance for humans to survive. Granted I'll be dead before the world becomes laregly inhabitable, but it's a cool thought nonetheless. Also what makes an apolocalypse more different than a fictitous world? It's a similar environment to what we have on earth, but still different. It stimulates the imagination, brings about "what-ifs" and "imagine a _____" scenario
I think post-apocayptic environments aren't over-used at all. There are certianly dystopians and alternate realities, but not many Fallout-esque games (at least from what I've seen)
