Why do linear games still exist? They are SHIT. Especially linear ZOMBIE SURVIVAL GAMES. How the fuck can a zombie survival be anything other than open world? Who are these blathering retards who make this shit?
Both the open world and zombie meme needs to die.
I think there's some kind of issue with your post. You said linear games are shit, but this is clearly not the case. You also seemed to imply The Last of Us is a zombie survival game, but it's a character drama.
linear is the best way to tell a story. having side quest and the freedom to do whatever you want hinders the story that is being told and a lot of times causes you to lose focus on said story.

literally the cancer that's killing vidya
Linear games might as well just be animated movies.
Why aren't there people making TLOU type animated shows?

Yeah who wants to play the video game and have fun when you could be watching cutscenes and mindlessly progressing from point A to point B.
Protip: one of the best story-driven games in the past decade (Nier) was open world

lol????
My protip to you: Nier is linear. No, the fact that you have one point where you can choose which you want to do first doesn't make it non-linear.

Same with books, why bother making people read that shit when you could just show them on a screen or make them into comics?

The problem is that Developers don't fucking care about decision making and open worlds, even when they tout their game as having those features.
I'd rather take a well made linear game with great characterization and plot over a game with an illusion of choice.

It's also hard to make decision making into something meaningful.

You have 16 seconds to explain how linear means repetitive
>>339929865
because people buy them
>>339929865
Zombies sell

Why do we have threads involving this game 3 times a day?
Open world zombie games are boring as hell.

You are fucking retarded. Not all games must be for everyone in the sense of doing the exact same thing.
If shit was you way every game would be Ass creed with a new coat of paint. That is bullshit and retarded.
