Everything boring except zombies say gamers

Video games that don’t feature zombies are shit, it has emerged.

A study conducted by Oxford University has revealed that video games featuring anything other than the shambling undead are met with complete indifference by modern gamers, with many actually becoming completely overwhelmed with boredom mere seconds after being exposed to non-zombie related content.

The research team also discovered that the question gamers were most likely to ask themselves when deciding whether to purchase a new video game was “can I kill zombies?” shortly followed by “is there a mod that will let me kill zombies?”

It's official. This gen is the crappiest one EVER in the history of gaming. Every game is boring if it doesn't have zombies in it? What type of dipsticks did you ask?

The whole article is a joke. This site is like the Onion if you've ever heard of that. I think it's decently humorous.

"By modern gamers"... WTF is a "modern gamer". I'm 35, still own all my consoles since the 2600 and currently game on every available console, PC and handheld... am I a "modern gamer". Maybe I'm too old to be considered a modern gamer? I have more experience gaming than the average gamer though, and I think zombies are the most played out go to bad guy in the video game industry at present. Do I hate zombies? No, but they are overused. But I guess I'm not a "modern gamer", so my opinion doesn't really matter. It's okay though... if a "modern gamer" is someone who can't get enough zombies, I'll stay old and useless to the gaming community while playing hundreds of different games.

@ proninjas

I never read it to begin with :D just the stuff at the top of the page. So is the Oxford study complete satire, or was there an actual study? Either way, I am sick of zombies.

I think you might need to re-read it. It's actually making the point that zombies are overused. I thought it was pretty obvious in its humor, hence I posted it

Zombies and FPS are the most boring genre this generation except Day Z and L4D :D.

Because all we've gotten are FPS!

It apparently being too expensive to develop stories and plot doesn't help either.

Allsystemgamer4225d ago (Edited 4225d ago )

It's not expensive to develop a plot. Get one good writer with a passion for what he does and hell have it done fast. People are just lazy.

Woa I just noticed I lost 2 bubbles wtf?

Godmars2904225d ago

Its expensive to structure gameplay around a story good or bad.

It was cheaper for Square to put in CG movies in FF13 than flying segments. Also cheaper for Bioware to shove ME3 out the door than use side-quest management elements from ME2.

1st person shooters/ DLC's/ zombies without horror

-current generation-

:(
I hope we will see more games like the last of us or heavy rain for the next gen ...

Games like CoD are so boring, dump and less innovative

beerkeg4225d ago

This generation has the most whiners. If you actually look at how many great games there have been you might be surprised how this generation has actually been a good one. A very good one.

There are negative sides to what's been introduced this gen, but the good far outweigh the bad.

This article is clearly a joke.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues
