Which game backdrop/setting are you tired of

[kortin]

Like most of the thread: Zombies. Zombies in any realistic setting, I don't care. DayZ, The Walking Dead, The Last of Us, Left 4 Dead, Dead Space, the list goes on and on, and I'm so tired of them. Hell, I might not even be able to play Half Life 3 (if) it comes out, that's how tired I am of these zombies. I don't really mind the necromancer kind of zombies, I feel like those have really gone missing, but fuck disease-based zombies.

Modern and Future Military shooters like Call of Duty and Halo, seen it about 1000 times now.
Slightly off topic for a game idea, but why not some kind of Robin Hood game? Steal from the rich, give to the poor. Have elements of stealth in it and such. Probably wind up being like Assassin's Creed in the end however.

This is more of a question, but exactly what games have been set in the zombie apocalypse lately that make it a a tired old setting? I'm just curious because I haven't really heard of any besides maybe the Last of Us and zombies from CoD.

zombie apocalypse
steampunk
techy fantasy (i mean seriously fuckos, keep your sci fi outta my fantasy)
modern shooter
near future shooter
any 'your a broody irritating fucking emo' type game where the characters just complain about everything

Fuck off with your magic that always boils down to shooting bright stuff out of your hands.

I guess you would rather them have it shoot out their asses?

YES!!! That would be AWESOME!

Their cosmic magic fart-bolts (magart bolts? fargic bolts?) could be mega-powerful but they would have to take their time to turn around and pull their pants down to fire them at their opponents, which would in turn leave them susceptible to physical attacks (thus they would still be glass cannons, but the glass cannon this time would be quite literally, their ass).

Also they could have to ingest all this weird shit (ingredients) to digest/combine them in their stomachs to enable them to have this mystic fargic-bolt ability.

Different ingredients; different magic effects. All coming out their mystic asses.

It'll make Wizard's robes both stylish and functional.

Someone call Blizzard; we have a new class for WoW.

OT: I'm sick enough of Zombies as well. And Chest high walls. Well sick of those bastards too.
