Edit: FTL and Binding of Isaac are also good examples of good indie rogue-likes.

Risk of Rain may not be randomly generated, but its still a rogue-like. Rogue legacy is undoubtedly a rogue-like, and DotE has permadeath and random level generation.

it was ww2 shooters 10 years ago. due to technologic limitations it was graphic adventures way before that.
now its zombie games...its very surprising how far the gaming industry has come with current tech level. developers have everything, tech that independent studios of 90s cant even imagine. what do they produce? shitty zombie games. simple minds...

um hello zombie survival, zombie themed fps are genres

No, "zombie" is not a genre. It's a recurring theme in games across many genres perhaps, but not a genre in itself. That would be like saying "snare drum" is a genre of music, because there's lots of tracks that use a snare drum / snare drum sample in them. Try checking a dictionary some time.

"Survival" is also not a genre, as that is far too broad a classification. There's lots of survival horror games, but also survival games with crafting mechanics in an open world that play more like Minecraft - the two can't be considered to be similar enough to classify under one "genre". "Zombie themed FPS" are also not part of a genre. FPS games can be considered a genre, sure, and some might have a zombie theme. Perhaps you could call zombie themed FPS's a sub-genre, though that classification is a bit too vague to be considered a proper sub-genre, as there's still enough difference between different FPS games with a zombie theme in their gameplay mechanics / play style. Remember, we're classifying game genres, so you must look at gameplay style / mechanics / experience, not arbitrary content.

Minecraft is not a survival game, and survival is a genre check FarSky for example.

It seems you really need to think a little bit better about the difference between a genre and a theme. Videogames aren't a passive art form such as paintings, where genres can be defined purely by content. Games are interactive works of art, so their classification must come from the main part of the experience - their gameplay, which is formed by gameplay mechanics, goals, and overall experience.
You can change all the enemy models in a game, change the art style, change the storyline (which would all fall under a certain theme), but as long as you keep the same core gameplay mechanics and goals, the genre of the game - or the genres it falls under - is / are still the same.

Seesh man lower your jets, go take a hike. You take yourself waay too seriously. If you need to insult somebody just to win an argument you already lost. I don't care about your rant so:
TL:DR

If my post insulted you.. Wow man.. Being a bit snarky isn't the same as trying to insult someone. Also, it wasn't even an argument.. You simple were misusing a word, and I explained quite well why that was the case. Yes, I wanted to be a bit snarky. No, I did not want to insult you, or make you feel offended or pissed off, nor do I think you're an idiot, or a fool, or <x negative thing>. Must everything be either 100% friendly, helpful, and nice, or a case of "we now hate each other and refuse to speak to each other"? I dislike this polarisation you see all over the 'net, and find it very unfortunate.
Regardless, again, if I truly did offend you, sorry, that wasn't my intent - merely to strongly disagree and bicker amongst ourselves. But in the spirit of honesty - your response seems more like a cop-out to me than a case of you truly not wanting to reply out of offence taken. Not trying to bust your balls, but that's what it seems like.

Whatever is most successful at the time gets a ton of rip-offs until you get fed up with it. Because some devs/publishers are stupid enough to think that those rip-offs will instantly give them huge piles of money. I'd go in detail but this video points it out better than I ever can. :D

Zombies for sure. Now even unrelated games add a zombie mod to get more sales.
Which speaks for the Zombie fanboy crowd as well.

Seriously every second game coming out is a Roguelike, Platformer, Zombie themed survival/shooter. I'm tired of it. I mean seriously, nobody gave a damn about roguelikes a few years ago and now Steam is full of it.
What are the most overused (dare to say boring) game genres in you opinion? Like when you open up th
