I still enjoy shooting games. I don't know why I don't get bored of them, I just don't.

Just like i've been playing NHL games consistently since 2006 and I still love them.

Let's see it started with me shooting Asteroids, and it is now 2009, so I guess I'm easily entertained.

I am a bit bored of them, I don't think I played any this year unless except Arma 2.

Although I wouldn't mind playing more of them, but it's just that there are other games in which I am more interested in

Play different genres? When you walk into Gamestop/EBGames/BestBuy... do you only see FPS games? Sounds messed up to me and im sure many others. The gaming industry has thrived on many levels, be it FPS/RPG/RTS/Platformers... not just your narrow minded view of the industry. So when im jumping on heads in NSMB, passing chumps in Forza 3/GTR EVO/GT5p, chopping bad guys in Dragon Age, assassinating guys in AC2, coordinating in Fat Princess, Flying in Flower, playn sports games... i'm shooting? doesnt sound right

I usually play maybe three or four shooting games before I try to move on to another genre for a bit. I could see how it would get boring if that was all that you focused on, but if it's just one part of a healthy gaming diet, I think there can be great fun to be had in shooting games.

They are just boring now... Weapons arent that fun...or anything different... Death animations which i used to love to see get better arent changing that much...none are that impressive... Storylines are all generic garbage the online multiplayer is exactly the same in all of them (save for a few,..borderlands must be sick) and they all play the exact same...

This gen: 4. Started with R:FoM, then CoD4, then R2, then KZ2. Once I realized all I was playing was FPS, I decided to take a break from them. Bad Company 2 will probably be my next

Compare Left 4 Dead, Team Fortress 2, CSS and Half Life 2. They have more different then just the setting.

Mix it up a bit?

I'm currently playing Beneath a Steel Sky on the iphone. Adventure games are a good break from fast paced games.

I got burnt out on shooters after playing counter-strike and Battlefield for a couple years. I'll pick up a shooter once in a while but yea they make too many of them. I want to see more 2d fighting games and platformers.

My gaming library is pretty bloated with shooter titles, but each of them manage to be unique enough to keep the experience fresh for me.

The only FPS I kind of regret getting is probably Resistance.

Right now I'm working my way through Killzone 2, Gears of War, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, and Mass Effect. Oh, and every once in a great while I load up STALKER or Unreal Tournament 3 on my PC for a few minutes. But once this shooter phase ends, I'm moving on to Blue Dragon, Star Ocean: The Last Hope, and Valkyria Chronicles.

Edit: Err, well I just considered the fact that Valkyria Chronicles has shooting in it, so I don't know if we're really going to split hairs and call it a shooting game or not.

I have to agree with TC. I picked up MW2 and one week later I dropped it and haven't played it since. The FPS is such a tired genre. RPGs is were it's at.

You won't make it through star ocean I promise you. Got to the second disk and couldn't take it anymore. That game is complete trash.

I am most definitely tired of the shooters in general. I dont mean action/adventure games like Uncharted that have shooting in them. Im talking strict FPS/TPS. Basically, I play shooters for a certain experience, not just the fact they are shooters. Too many shooters are just generic now and others are becoming that way. Battlefield typically gives that all out war feeling, Socom 1 and 2 are classic round based objective games with tons of heart-pumping action, Star Wars Battlefront is a must play for any Star Wars fan that wants to experience a Hoth battle, and then there is Killzone...total in-your-face mayhem. Well, Socom is watered down now with terrible multi-mode maps that have all but phased out Breach, Escort, and Extraction modes. Battlefield is getting watered down with Bad Company's generic weapons and overall lack of a true Battlefield experience. SWBF3 might never get out. Hopefully, Killzone 3 wont be watered down. COD used to be on my play list until they got generic with that too. Its getting to the point where there seems to be some generic formula out there for shooters and no one wants to stray too far from it.

Yeah, I will say that PS3 does have a strong action/adventure lineup...fortunately. Maybe they will see a Jak and Daxter soon. Also Little Big Planet is over the top platforming. Infamous, Heavenly Sword, Uncharted, MGS4, and Valkyria Chronicles are strong titles outside of the shooter genre. Star Wars Force Unleashed, Mirrors Edge, and Ghostbusters are some great ones from the multi-platform front. A lot of racing games too. Shooters are getting stale right now, but there is plenty on the other genres to keep you busy.

I go through spurts where I am burnt out on them, but I always get the itch for a good shooter again after awhile.

Dont really like ratchet much, though FTOD was ok. Never played Jak& Daxter. I want some next gen games because PS3 doesnt upscale PS2 games, and they look terrible on an HDTV (i have a BC 60GB) So if i play older games, they are usually on 360 since it upscales them, and applies 2xFSAA to all of them.

There are plenty of different genres especially on ps3 : demon's souls is a dark action rpg ala monster hunter style but with classes ect.. Very unique game you can level to character level 705, game offers 100's of hours of entertainment as it kicks tour arse! My most rccended non shooter game. Dragon age origins == cla$$ based rpg, assassins creed 2, infamous, new ratchet, trine, wipeout HD, pixel junk games, gravity crash, valkyria chronicles, disgaea 3, god of war collection, ninja gaiden sigma 1 and 2 , heavenly sword, tekken 6, little big planet( this platformer alone could last you 100's of hours especially if you are a creator. Games like ff13, white knight chronicles, 3d dot heroes, last guardian, god of war 3, bayonetta, dante's inferno, gt5, mod nation racers, heavy rain, star ocean 4 plus, renosance of fate, yakuza 3, are all on ps3. Psp and ds handhelds have loads of non shooters too. The games are there I only named a fraction of them you just need to look.

Pfft...the question should be more like, "how many shooting games can I play before 'they' get bored of me?"
