  That describes the start, a bit hyperbolic but accurate.

  The whole experience is more like “the zombies are always hard to kill, but you can get good at killing them” vs “the zombies are hard to kill, them you get gear or whatever, then the zombies are easy to kill”.

    Which one is “The zombies scale as your character does, so the longer you play the harder they are to kill”?

      Numbers

        Could be mechanics, if the zombies get upgrades as the game goes on.

        If difficulty goes up because gameplay changes, it’s mechanics. Otherwise it’s numbers.

    I wanted to make it more clear for those not too familiar with gaming

    We used to call them twitch games IIRC.

    Like you need good reactions. But I guess dancing & rhythm games fall under that too.

    The other would have been “RPG” or RPG Elements, which meant your helicopter could “upgrade” its weapons, hull, manuverability etc. for xp/gold/cash/…

      Not all games are about twitch reflexes though, sometimes slower strategic processes are involved and how rapidly you can click doesn’t really matter so much as how much you can plan ahead.

        Yeah, I didn’t like how they claimed they’re all twitch games either.

        Timing is usually a factor, but it’s not like they’re all fast paced. In my opinion shit like Dark Souls is pretty slow paced a lot of the time.

        Well of course. Chess comes to mind :-)

  I’m looking at the headset hanging on my wall with apprehension now.

  What exactly are you doing with this headset? Are you putting it on the zombie and putting on Joe Rogan’s podcast until the Zombie’s remaining brains melt?

    You break the headband and use it as a pair of nunchucks
