[QUOTE="speedfreak48t5p"] I wish RPG's would die entirely and never come back. Nothing special about RPG's.Grammaton-Cleric
Yeah, no. RPGs have always been at the forefront of gaming and are still super popular, just not turn based JRPGs anymore.Â

Know what, I just tried a shooter yesterday since it was free with PS+. Spec Ops The Line - linear and meh story like the rest of the shooters. No puzzles no exploration, linear, WHY ALWAYS THIS SAME EXACT FORMULA??????????????? WHY NOT SOMETHING DIFFERENT FOR A CHANGE?????!!! WHY THEY ALL THE SAME???! You flood the industry with these things and then you don't even try to add any depth/substance and extra stuff in them. You just put in a 4 hour campaign and multiplayer and think it's enough and expect it to sell, which they do not always do. I mean, FPS were much better in the 90s since they actually had stuff in them other than pewpew.
Spec Ops: The Line actually uses the linearity of the game, along with other shooter conventions, to create a meta-like scenario where a gamer indulges in a high body count while gradually coming to a darker realization as to who and what they have become in a virtual theatre of war. While the gameplay is not overtly special, the manner in which that gameplay is delivered is incredibly unique.
Clearly, the point of this particular shooter flew right over your head, but I do appreciate the irony of somebody whining incessantly about generic shooters yet deriding this particular game considering that it is anything but a typical military shooter.
As to your personal fatigue, who really cares? I'm sick of shooters as well but I also find turn-based RPG's dishwater-dull and regardless, the proliferation of the former has nothing to do with the decline of the latter.
There have been plenty of quality FPS, most recently Far Cry 3, so again, your baseless, illogical generalizations fail miserably. Â
Don't you tire of being wrong?
I just beat Spec Ops: The Line and the experience was a memorable one. The contrasts between such beautiful environments and the hellish destruction, the harsh desert landscape, the music, the shocking horrors, the blurry morality, it was an engrossing ride and I played it all in one sitting.Â
If the gameplay was a bit more polished, didn't have the occasional non-responsive controls and actually gave you choices it would have been a game for the ages, but despite those few flaws it was still a pretty good game overall.
