Not really. There needs to be some motivation to kill these constantly spawning enemies. Otherwise you will lose interest after 30 minutes. A game with constantly spawning enimies does not make 10 hours of fun gaming.

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.

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

Isn't this just Multiplayer Online with infinite kills/deaths (options) and a huge weapon set (which is pointless - weapon sets have to be varied and balanced. The more weapons the harder to balance. Everyone uses a few guns only.)

Everyone's seems to be going crazy for this game when really it's just Unreal tournament/Quake Arena online.

Erm?

Am I missing something?

Although, this game will probably be Massive Action Game. So get that, if it's good.

Good idea, it's fun to just sometimes kill people without having to worry about storylines or other stuff. If it's multiplayer then I'll definitely buy it :D

it would be good as long as it's not all in one room and you can move around. having them spawn from different places would be good, e.g from the ceiling, rather than just appearing. i don't mean to quote Yahtzee but any game that can make an enemies limbs fly off in different directions is already a work of art. the Painkiller review comes to mind, particularly shurikens and lightning, it could only be more awesome if it had tits and was on fire. but yes, a game of unlimited enemies and oober guns is a winner in my book

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?

Ok, sub standard plot forced down your throat every so often, but the game you almost described there is Painkiller.

I would if it had variety. Like, you could choose what kind of setting, guns, and enemies. In fact, this game might be cool if you could choose a plot to go with it. Like, a random plot generator.

Let's say you choose a western setting. The plot-generator might give you there's a bank robbery that you stop and when you do, it turns out that it was all a diversion so that sheriff wouldn't know that all his prisoners were being turned loose. They prisoners decided to unleash anarchy on the town and it's up to you to stop them.

Now, that could variate on several different points. It would be a short story, yes, but you could do it over and over again with various differences. And since I said you could choose setting, imagine that same plot in a sci-fi or a modern setting. Yeah, this deviates from OP but it's just an additional idea.

The concept worked for Serious Sam and Painkiller, those games had no shame about what they were. Pure and simple shooting fun......with screaming suicide bombers with ACTUAL bombs for hands and heads. fucking genius!

Doeo:

Like Spore but more violent.

That concept just blew my mind.

On Topic-
I'd play it for a week and get bored.
I like to know why I'm killing.

Because they're different than you and therefore, deserve death.
Honestly, 90% of all violence ever boils down to that. Just make the enemy purple, make the player orange, and BAM, reason enough.
Not saying I think that's right, just saying it's acceptable for must human beings.

A gun that fires tiny suns that explode the target. Charged with electricity. And pointiness.

Dealin Burgers:
If the enemies were good enough, weapons varied enough, I'd enjoy it.

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

:)

Not a mod.

It doesn't matter, you know what I mean.

Didn't they make that already? (Postal)

Ever heard of "Alien Shooter"? Highly recommended.

They have this type of game in droves as flash games online.
Or you could just play something like dynasty warriors and skip the "plot" text at the beginning of every mission.
Or you could just play Halo.

Isn't that Gears of War 2's Horde Mode?

No offense, though. I'd play it.

constantly spawning enemies, big guns, bosses, no plot, violence.. this is sounding like left 4 dead. :D

kind of sounds like crimsonland to me. and thats easily over 10 hours of gameplay fun (its basicaly alien shooters endless mode but then good)
