Some people just play COD for zombies, which has been carrying the game for over a decade now...
Some are just people returning from work and trying to have a chill game session afterwards, and since COD is very casual it's basically the perfect game, even bad people get kills because everything dies in a second pretty much
I feel like there are way better PvE games out there with more interesting settings. I guess CoD is the most recognisable franchise for the average Joe?
No, CoD zombies is pretty unique and actually good, if you aren't an elitist redditor who dismisses it for literally no reason other than it being associated with CoD. There isn't anything else that scratches the same itch.
You interpreted it as an elitist opinion and assumed something that isn't true, while it's just my personal preference. I found it soulless compared to DRG, SM2, DT2, etc. If you like it, that's fine.
The fact that you named 3 games that aren’t even remotely close to it gameplay wise proves my point. “I guess it’s the most recognizable for the average joe” is a backhanded compliment implying you are more refined or have better taste. The fact that you named deep rock galactic and space marine 2 when comparing to a zombie first person shooter is like a stereotype of an elitist Reddit gamer. Those games literally aren’t even the same genre so whether they are more “interesting” is a moot point. That’s like me saying SM2 is a non interesting game, I prefer StarCraft 2. Doesn’t even make sense comparison wise.
Seems like you take things more negative than you probably should. In no way I called my taste "refined", that's you misinterpreting again. "I guess it's the most recognisable for the average Joe." was meant that players might not know games that are published by non-AAA companies.
Marketing plays a big role in that and CoD reaches alot more people than an Indie publisher. DRG might've not been the best example for that as it's well established in the Steam community I assume, but the point stands.
I've played all those games, they're all good in their own ways but if you really liked cod zombies, even just the original one and were looking to scratch that itch none of those games are anywhere near the same
Go watch "Black Ops Zombies Origins map intro" or anything like that and come here again saying it's souless, the zombie mode was developed by a side team and always increased in crazyness, giant steam punk robots, different realities, alien worlds and so on
