I see many people claiming that The Conduit is generic. Because it is all about Aliens, we have to save the world, no major addictions in the genre despite gameplay (which is on it's way to be the best on consoles btw).
Ok, so based on this criteria I did a list of games that we can call generic also, based on the same thoughts for the Conduit. (The ones I own are marked with a *)
- Resistance 1/2 - Has Aliens, we have to save the world - GENERIC GAME
- Halo 1/2/3 - Aliens, Aliens, Aliens - EPICLY GENERIC GAME
- *CoD5 - WW2, We have to save the world - GENERIC GAME
- *The Darkness - Weird Creatures, so - GENERIC GAME
- Unreal Tournament - Generic name, and on top of that, there is "aliens" - GENERIC GAME
- Left for Dead - ZOMBIES AGAIN??? - OMMMG GENERIC
I don't remenber anything right now. The list can be updated. Your thoughts...?

-Left 4 Dead: Oh HELL no you didn't just say Left 4 Dead was generic. There is no game like this anyway, and even the ZOMBIEs are original. They run faster then you do for crying out loud, and versus mode is an innovation the FPS world had almost never seen before. Different spawn points, and the game plays differently every time you play it.
I'm not saying Conduit is generic, since I've yet to hear anything about it. I'm just pointing out how stupid your examples are.

I was just gonna say the SAME thing,and Zombies generic? There is only what 2-3 Zombie games out the last 3 generations and how many were good what? just L4D aww,L4D is anything but generic.

Zombies are not original, and are actually the most played out undead villain in games, ever since Doom, or even Wolfenstein, with the zombie robot Nazis.

This page has lists of games that have modern horror zombies, revenants, voodoo zombies, fantasy zombies, and other zombies, and they actually outnumber games about ghosts, werewolves, and vampires.
I guess Castlevania cornered the vampire game market, but where the hell are all the werewolf games? It's basically Zelda and Sonic right now, which is really fucking weird. I've love an original werewolf game in which clouds would cover the full moon and you'd turn human again and had to hide until the moon came back out. When the moon wasn't full you'd avoid action missions and do whatever spying/research/interrogation crap you needed to do, and then on the full moon you'd eat tons of baddies.
