the Apocalypse for Gamers

Guess what? the world ended yesterday! And now we're either trapped in our own limbos because we're dead without realizing it or nothing happened at all.

Anyway, due to the doomsday weekend, I decided to look upon all the things that make gamers feel the true power of fear. These are some of the many things that would make gamers have their own apocalypse:

1. BLACKOUT

Despite the joke pic of character "Blackout" from the Transformers (2007) film, the idea of power being completely gone with you having nothing to do about it would make any gamer cry. The only way that this would suck more is if the power goes out during the middle of playing a game. Can you imagine encountering a major boss in a game like Devil May Cry and as soon as you start playing the battle the TV suddenly goes blank? Horrifying!!!

2. CRAPPY SEQUELS

You don't have to agree with every game shown above, but when sequels are long anticipated and end up becoming buzz kills to the overall franchise, it will haunt you forever.

It's even worse when you've been a long fan of a particular franchise, like Duke Nukem or Resident Evil, and you sit there as you watch your favorite thing slowly kill itself with an abundance of bad or just plain unworthy sequels, spin offs, prequels or whatever else. In my opinion, Sonic the Hedgehog had it the worst. He seems like the kind of guy that tries almost too hard to both return and relate to modern games of today but this ends up making things even worse. While the character(s) will always be loved by gamers who know him, his days seem to be slowing coming to an end, which is scary. Possibly the slowest Game Apocalypse to date.

3. CANCELLATION

What's could be worse than bad sequels and blackouts? How about cancelled games? The idea of any games announced like Bioshock Infinite or Metal Gear Rising getting cancelled would be a heart attack for gamers, especially if they pre-ordered the darn thing months or years before its release.

One game in particular that fears gamers is Last Guardian. Holy Hell! Never have I seen a game with more problems being released in my entire gamer life!!! At least Aliens Colonial Marines had simple reasons for being delayed again and again and again, and even again! This is not to say that Last Guardian will be cancelled, because the game is still in Sony's playing field, but with all the crap this game is going through to be released i'm surprised that they haven't yet.

4. RIP LOCAL

Everything in the gaming world seems to be leaning more towards online playability more and more by the years, you either hate it or you don't. I personally hate because of my own personal Apocalypse fear.

Can you imagine if a future E3 show (E3 2016?) announced that there will never be local Multiplayer or Co-op playability anymore, and the only way you can is through online in completely separate rooms? I would hate that! look, I know many games now a days are online as it is and that the local is bound to die soon, but I've always been a local kind of guy. Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare (above) is one of my favorite local multiplayer experiences in my life. Me and my father and friends would always hangout to play it on the weekends and such. But what if that were to be gone forever? Can you imagine Nazi Zombies having no option of playing with a buddy sitting right next to you? Can you tell that I hate online???

What else would be considered the "end of days" for gamers? let us know and I hope no one took this post too seriously...
