Would Anyone Else Enjoy a Game Like This?

[ZomgSharkz]

Earlier today I was just lounging around, bored out of my skull, when I thought of an idea for a game. All it would be is you and endlessly respawning enemies. No story, no objectives, no nothing....just killing stuff. Without having to spend time on the story and what not, you could spend time making a butt-ton of weapons and an even bigger butt-ton of enemies.

Now I love a game with a masterful plot and story but I think a game like this would be an awesome stress-reliever and just good plain fun. There are probably games out there that are pretty much just killing stuff, but chances are they have a plot of some sort and limitations on weapons. The game I'm thinking of would make mindless killing into an art form.

So...would you enjoy a game like that?

Most definitely. A violent game...extremely violent. With endless enemies, no plot, and infinitely changing weapons would be extraordinary.

So, something almost like Smash TV?

There was a Lord of the Rings game just like that, although it followed the story, so not exactly like that. I can't remember the name of it (considering there are 100 Lord of the Rings games) but it was you taking the role of elf, dwarf, or human, and dispatching waves of enemies with over the top melee moves.

PS - I enjoyed it.

and that^

Dinasty Warriors?

 

[ZomgSharkz]

Yeah, it may be good. If you still had lots of different guns and good online game play it would be a pretty fun game just killing stuff. I can see my playing it though.

Yeah if I was heading up the design team I would make sure countless days would be dedicated to sitting around a table throwing out ideas like, "We should have a gun that shoots a chain of exploding razor bugs". Without a massive, MASSIVE variety of weapons it would be no fun.

With enemies spawning like Dynasty Warriors, BUT smoother game play, different weapons. I would hope.

Dynasty warriors was fun...

I was thinking just play the serious sam games. They were designed with this idea in mind.

I've played those games and they are a blast...but they have a plot (sort of) and they end. Also there aren't that many weapons. Those games are still awesome but they aren't quite the killfest I'm thinking of.

Try playing the zombie mod for CoD:WaW. It's hella fun, especially if you only buy weapons from the random weapon box.

 

[Arcyde]

well i`d buy it for sure if it had online multiplayer

 

[milomalo]

online multiplayer and achievements/trophies please

 

[Deadman Walkin]

Meh, it would be fun for a while, but eventually it would run out. Something like Saints Row 2, extremely fun doing missions and random stuff, but after a while when you finish it it is just meh.

Guns will definitely make it better, like Lady Butterfly´s Gatling gun in Devil kings.

Here's an idea: let's all think of insanely awesome weapons for this gem of a game idea.
Hey, someone came up with a gun that shoot shurikens and lightning so why can't we?

Note: Discussing ideas for a game are nice but discussing awesome ways to murder tons of dudes is, while psychiatrist-bait, much more fun.

I would make a gun that launches 12-year-old XBoxLive players and watch as every person in a 10 foot radius rips their ears out.

And I'm being serious. Honest.

That sounds.....pretty sweet. Like I already posted above I think a weapon that shoots a chain of exploding razor bugs would be awesome. Also a gun that rips out each individual molecule of an enemy and rips each one in half.

 

[Johninator712]

PumpItUp I like your thinking. I would like to see a gun that turns enemies into Cheez-It's. Or just cheese. ALSO! Another gun that shoots out staples attached to retail prices. The price on it would be death of course. If anyone else has no idea what I'm talking about or what I just said, neither do I.

 

[DrHobo]

a gun that shoots random versions of other weapons that you can then pick up and use. However no additional ammunition so once your out you gotta spawn a new gun

1/10 000 chance it will spawn itself, thus fulfilling the prophecy and ending the game

it's already created it, it's called space invaders.
