With the Mayan calendar ending this year and doomsday chatter running rampant around the globe, video game developers are looking to cash in on the hysteria. Well, thats what it looks like to me. There are ten solid post-apocalyptic games slated to drop this year with many more having that "end-of-the-world" aspect to their storylines. Have developers gone doomsday crazy? Is it too much and too similar for gamers? More importantly, do we have enough time to play them before the end?
No. No. And hopefully.

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."
Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.
Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.
I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.
It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.
Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.
I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!
While gamers usually take notice of the mainline missions, these 5 side quests deserve more widespread attention for how entertaining they are.
The Fallout Anthology Edition is coming to PC very soon, and is packaged with some very S.P.E.C.I.A.L. bonuses.
It’s an awful downgrade to the last one they did
They included physical disc back then
I would love the classic fallout games on console. Closest I could find was atom rpg, I liked that one a lot
Seems to have been a big thing for a while now (Fallout, Borderlands, Metro 2033, even MW3 in a way). Looks to be some interesting titles coming though.
Dont know where they got their release dates...
I thought I am Alive had no release date yet except a "soon"
