FPS junkies

I've been playing the 360 a lot more after selling my gaming PC to a close friend (needed money/putting part of it towords a new rig). Anyway, most of my friends play on the 360 versus the PS3, and I've found out that they all pretty much play Halo and CoD, and nothing else. A few have picked up MoH, which is still a shooter. I mean I love to get my online fps on, but wow, could you live with a whole library of just shooters?

I asked on of them and he said he only plays shooters. Everyone's entitled to their opinion, but I mean doesn't it get old?

I have zero shooters for my Wii, but I'm planning to get one next year.

i was pretty much a shooter fiend from doom 1 to Halo CE.

then i became very anti shooter... and hated them all. My friends really liked MW2 and while i didnt quite care for it... it sort of made me open to the shooter genre again. So i decided to invest my time in trying to be good at halo reach (on a gameplay level, the idea of reach is alot more appealing than the idea of COD to me)... and while im not quite in love with shooters again, im somewhat enjoying them, and more open to them now.

Shooters aren't always like COD and Halo. I think the words you're looking for are "military shooters".

Even though in Halo you're shooting down zombies and aliens but you're still in a military.

what other shooters are there really?

you have games like bioshock, the darkness, and fallout... but really i consider them more hybrid shooters... except maybe bioshock, but i didnt like bioshock at all.

I've played near-exclusively FPS for a while (a month or 2) on my gaming PC, so I can technically do it. I still need my fix of other genres in a while though, which is why I also frequently play games such as Oblivion, Age of Empires, FIFA and a fair share of Mario/Zelda games on the Wii.

I love Shooters.

There's only just so much killing I can take before I go all Rambo and live with some monks for a couple of weeks :P Either that or I just play some We < 3 Katamari

I havent brought a shooter in a long time.

I love FPS but there are many, many other genres on the 360 :)locopatho

same goes for the PS3

Let's see. I was burned out on WW2 FPS a while back. Now, I'm burned out on modern day battlefield FPS. I'll see how Rage, Crysis 2, and Bioshock Infinite fare with reviewers before declaring I'm totally burned out on FPS games yet again.

I love FPS but I also love some other genres. I couldn't see myself just playing FPS all the time.

I have little to no interest in FPS games, the last FPS game I bought was a year ago and I sold it.

I play a lot of FPS games, but I play a lot of other stuff, too. And I am trying to move away from the genre, to be honest. I have too many. :P

The only FPS I have in my collection currently and can be played is Team Fortress 2.

Well I can't personally, but there are people w/ basically just 1 game in their collection. There are people that only play COD, or Halo, or WOW, or Starcraft. If there are people can get by w/ only playing 1 game then people just playing 1 genre doesn't seem too much of a leap.

I only play one or two FPS games a year so no I can't live with a library consisting solely of FPS games.

TC if your friends are only into shooters, and your not them make some new friends. Load up whatever game your into and play it. If it has an online component, then go online and meet some new people.

Seriously why do people continue to complain about shooters. If you don't like them, don't play them. I can't stand fighting games, to me they are mindless. Guess what I don't play them, and if my friends want to play them online, then I just do something else.

What about them are mindless?

I like to consider myself a FPS vet. In comparison to mainstream FPS gamers, I am one. But in comparison to some of the older hermits on here, I'm nothing.

EDIT: Oh, right, forgot to answer your question. I play almost exclusively FPS.

Unless you're button mashing, fighters are anything BUT mindless. They require so much patience, yet so much competetive edge. Ahhh, they are too extreme for me.
