I'm so sick of games with guns. This gen all you have a choice of is Liniar action games RE4 style with guns or FPS games with guns. This gen has some cool technology but lacks games with creativity. Even the RPGs and sandbox gamesuse guns. What ever happend to games with swords?

You should try paying attention to games without huge marketing.

Most people love it. Not just shooters but anything which has violence, hate and destruction.

True, in the age when most things big were, for example, platformer or JRPG, shooter fans were left aside. Now they get to enjoy their games while on the spotlight. It's not like if every genre that dominates in a gen is the only genre that exists right?

If anything, developers have forgot how to make them.

I'd be with man , but-

  • God of War III
  • Bayonetta
  • Enlsaved
  • Castlevania
  • Darksiders

I don't exactly know why people cry about shooters. Good shooters make a small percentage of the overall good games out there.

Have you spent even 30 seconds looking through the platform specific sections here on Gamespot? There are tons of games without guns... I'd say just as many as those with, and on some platforms (Wii) even more without than with.

Ever play, Marvel Ultimate Alliance; Ninja Gaiden, GoW, GT5, Forza 3, Demon's Souls? Don't blame the industry if your too lazy to research what you want to play.

You're just looking at the mainstream/popular culture, look beyond that, and you see.. pretty things.

Good shooters sell, period. U can have a good RPG or whatever and it still might not sell.

There was a time where platformers such as Mario and Sonic dominated.

There was a time were fighters like Street Fighter 2 Turbo,Mortal Kombat Ultimate and Kill Instinct dominated.

There was a time were RPGs like Final Fantassy and co dominated.

There was a time were adventure games like Resident Evil 2,Metal gear Solid dominated.

Now its time for Shooters like Halo and Call of Duty to dominate.

I know its a hard life brother but we have to deal with it

I've only bought 3 games this gen that are straight up shooters and the last one I bought was over 3 years ago. You dont have to look hard to find great games in other genres.

Exactly. Each genre gets overdone at some point in time. I guess the difference for me is I enjoyed all those other genres getting played out, but shooters wore thin pretty quickly for me.

When you think about it, it's either games with guns or games with swords of some type. So basically that's what gaming boils down to. Lol.
