We’ve seen the Top Ten Startling/Disturbing/Scary Games, Top Ten Scary Moments in Non-Scary Games, Top Ten Creepiest Silent Hill Monsters and Top Ten Creepy Things in Gaming and after all this time we never looked at the characters in the game but rather always the genre. This isn’t about what makes a game scary it’s about Halloween’s best character…Zombies. Why zombies? Well, Zombies for some reason Zombies are big now, and I may have had my time in Toronto Zombie Walks in the past, so we love us some Zombies and know a thing or two about them. And why do we love Zombies? Because they’re a bloody good time and you don’t have to feel bad about killing them. They’re just bags of blood ready to be explodededed. So let’s take a look of the games that have you fighting on hordes of Zombies, this is the Top Ten Zombie Massacre Games. "
Times are changing, and these games would have never been made in today's climate.
Every single time someone uses this phrase whether it's music, movies, books, comics, video games, etc it's always the same claim.
The ubiquitous "they" won't allow it to be made. And every decade these claims are made the claimant completely ignores all the "offensive" material that is published when the claim is made.
In ten years, you can write a new article about how you can't make games like Helldivers 2, Resident Evil VIII, Mortal Kombat I, Dragon's Dogma 2, Alan Wake 2 etc etc etc any more.
Dead Island: "The early PC version of the zombie game swapped the playable character Purna’s Gender Wars skill with a prototype name, which shouldn’t be mentioned directly. The skill name made fun of both Purna as a character and feminists."
"Feminist Whore" lmao
ill add one more to the list.
drakengard 1.
its ridiculous tho, especially since they'd still be able to find their place in alot of places in the world. except america of course ha. and maybe Australia.
ppl are so sensitive these days. ha. but it is what it is.
They're not offensive.
And we need another Fat Princess. Fantastic little game!
Some people just have no sense of humour if this sort of thing offends them. They need to lighten up and stop taking themselves so seriously.
Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad launched 15 years ago today, and you'd be wise not to judge this game by it's cover.
The Nerd Stash: "Everyone loves setting up killzones and laying waste to waves of enemies, so here are our picks for the best tower defense games ever."
