In the unlikely event that it will happen, GamersFTW are here to prepare you – with an unlikely scenario, comes even more unlikelier companions. Imagine if you had the option to include video-game characters as part of your survival group.
Which video-game characters would make the perfect post-apocalyptic zombie companions?
Let’s take a look at a few that should be considered..."
There are many worlds out there brimming with wondrous creatures ready to help you on your adventure beyond Pokemon.
Temtem is actually really good as a single player experience or as a co-op game. Played the shit out of it when it released
Other nominees include games like SimCity & Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.
There are some good nominees in this list that are deserving to be inducted also, but I feel Metroid has had the most impact on the industry out of all of these. Look how Metroid influenced the evolution of the Castlevania games, and the "Metroidvania" subgenre of games have become a prevailing force in gaming today. Especially now, Metroidvanias are bigger than ever.
I can very much see Resident Evil being added later too, bc it really did popularize and define the survival horror genre. I would say that one is next in line.
Agreed. When I got my NES back then, I of course had Super Mario Bros. But I also got Double Dribble, Mike Tyson's Punch Out, Rad Racer, Zelda and Metroid. Loved playing all of them over and over. But Metroid was so deep and the music was so other worldly, that that game has stuck with me to this day decades later.
Sure other awesome games came along like Contra, Castlevania, Mega Man, etc. But Metroid really hit that sci-fi fix. And the twist of finding out who was in the suit was one of those great moments in gaming history talking with other friends in the neighborhood that had the console that rushed to the end to find out for themselves.
Definitely deserves hall of fame like many other picks. Should have been inducted a long time ago.
If any Metroid game should get the honor it should be Super Metroid , it's perfection in my eyes . 30 years later and I still feel it's the most epic shit ever .
Yea, I agree that Super Metroid REALLY raised the bar on atmosphere and exploration, still in my Top 10 or 20 games of all time. The original Metroid did set a good framework, but Super Metroid perfected it in its first sequel. Since it's the only one up for vote, I'd still vote for the original Metroid bc it did establish a very good concept of gaming in a more primitive gaming era. But, you're absolutely right.
The GBA remake deserves it or Super Metroid, the original was a very sloppy and rushed game programmed in 3 months and it shows.
If you've never played the remake, it's absolutely a must play, fixes basically every flaw in the game. Check out ExoParadigmGamer's comparison video.
Even if Pokémon Scarlet and Violet have not yet completed their first anniversary, it is possible to predict exactly when Gen 10 is arriving.
A squad of space marines from Warhammer 40k should make short work of zombies, no matter what the number.
My team would have Bayonetta (She's badass), Professor Layton (He could solve every problem), Tim from Braid (He could rewind time), Elizabeth from Bioshock Infinite (She could make supplies reappear, and throw you things at crucial moments), and Pea-shooter from Plants Vs Zombies (It's good at killing zombies, plus could be a good food supply).
Joel( Apocalypse expert), Ratchet(weapon expert), Pipo Monkey(decoy/bait), sweet tooth(a f***** ice cream truck of death), sly cooper(can easily get supplies), bloodborne Hunter(zombie/monster slaying expert)
I'd take Princess Peach with me anyday.
