Usually refers to the end of the world.
Games where characters have a cannon for an arm.
Big Daddies are the lumbering genetically modified behemoths in the underwater city of Rapture. Clad in garish diving suits, these monstrosities were created to protect Rapture's population of walking ADAM factories, the Little Sisters.

Durability refers to the condition of the currently equipped weapons and armor, among other things. Overusing the said item without repair generally results in it breaking or otherwise becoming non-functional. Many games with role-playing elements incorporate this feature.
Any game that represents a society noticeably worse or less desirable compared to those in the present. This can relate to kinds of political and economic organisation, excessive human suffering, social problems caused by technology, or as a result of an apocalyptic event.
Any weapon that shoots laser and plasma beams or energy bolts rather than conventional bullets.
Giant, bio-engineered humanoids created to combat the beings known as Angels.
One of the four main branches of the Officio Assassinorum, and easily the most openly bloodthirsty and deranged of them all. Each Eversor is a psychotic given drugs that worsen their aberrant personalities and make them even more relentless killing machines. Kept sedated when not in use.
When will those crazy scientists learn? Be it killer robots, invasions from outer space, sentient computers or mutations; they always seem to have the habit of leaving a big mess behind for you to clean up.

Governed by the Adeptus Mechanicus; these planets are fully dedicated to industry and manufactures most of the Imperium's tech.

The first enemy faction encountered in Warframe, the Grineer are an army of clones inhabiting a desolate Earth, whose goal is to exterminate all other races. Their weapons are crude but powerful.
