Is anyone else so sick of the type of games released these days?

[QUOTE="Raymundo_Manuel"]

[QUOTE="ShadowsDemon"] Because there are getting less and less that I like. If it weren't for maybe half the games I listed I might have given up on gaming a long time ago.ShadowsDemon

You own a PC, so go play some PC games. There are tons that fit what you need.

So don't play them. I can see by your idea of what PC gaming has to offer that it's no wonder you think there are so few games available to you today.

You could play the STALKER series, or The Witcher series, Amnesia, The Legend of Grimrock, Mount & Blade Warband, Half Life and Portal series, L4D2, Neverwinter Nights 2, Deus Ex, etc

[spoiler] also, I'd suggest not maintaining the idea that you'll not enjoy any arcade/indie or RTS game. It's not as if they all play the same [/spoiler]

There are so many shooters constantly coming out...so why can't there be similar types of games to these constantly coming out?ShadowsDemon

Amen! Sadly with development costs on the rise, we don't see many different titles, taking risks these days can be a huge blow and with todays generation and mentality...sticking to what works just makes sense, and since people keep coming back, they will keep making the same types of games. Just not enough of us for them to warrant such vast majority of immersion and depth, concerning both gameplay and story. Tired of games playing themselves.

If you're sick of those games then don't play them. With the massive quantity and variety of games being released, you're bound to find something else you can enjoy.meetroid8

[QUOTE="ShadowsDemon"] I guess so, but I'm not a fan of arcade/indie titles. Nor do I like RTS.ShadowsDemon

Well if you want immersion then play the STALKER games, Half LIfe, and Amnesia

If you want a story that makes you think then play The Witcher, or Deus Ex

If you just want an awesome game then play any of the ones I have listed.

Playing Radiant Historia right now and played Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors before this. I'll be getting Kid Icarus and The World Ends With You later. There are plenty of games that fit your description. You just have to look :)

999 is incredibly over-rated.

I'd suggest picking up Lone Survivor, but, I guess you don't like indie/arcade games.

Hell, with that kind of attitude, no wonder you feel the way you do. Most of the best games I've played this gen have been those kind of titles. Sure...some of them are shorter than others, but $60 games with a 5 hour single player experience are being released all the time. Some sans multiplayer.

I'd argue that Trials Evolution is the best game to be released for the 360 this year. It's May. Come on now...

[QUOTE="ShadowsDemon"] I have some of those titles. Just look at my sig. It's not just "original" titles that I want. I want games that involve you emotionally, cause you to think afterwards about the game, immerse you, etc, etc. I can tell ya now L4D2 doesn't have that.ShadowsDemon

I would also not dismiss indie titles too quickly. I mean I feel the same way about a lot of indie titles; they just aren't for me, but there is at least something there for everyone.

The indie scene what is bringing us a lot of old school adventure titles. They aren't graphical showcases or anything, but they have puzzles, they have great writing in a lot of cases, and they're just quite enjoyable to play through.

Personally, when it comes to indie titles, I tend to stay away from most because I agree most just aren't all that special, but there is always one every now and again that'll pique my interest.

I wish Military FPS games would go away for a while; I'm so sick of COD, Battlefield and all the clones and rehashes of these games.

That is why I usually buy games innovative or new ip games, regardless of their reviews & scores, if we don't help companies who dare do something new, or at least make a game that is not COD but with mutant dogs, then we won't get what we want.

Sounds to me like you need to play less mainstream games, bro.

Might I recommend just about anything on the PC?

So long as you stick to exclusives on the ps3 and wii you should be good.

that said, there are some ps3 exclusives that fall into that unorginal category like resistance or uncharted.

Revelations 2012 is a good start

You can thank COD for the lack of good games.

Play Fallout New Vegas.TheGuardian03

It is probably tied to the decline of quality of the Japanese game industry when it comes to console games.

See in recent years we've been fed un-original, inane and pointless titles such as Call of Duty, Battlefield, Dead Island, etc. I'm not saying these are bad games. I'm just saying I'm sick of them.ShadowsDemon

Dead Island may not necessarily be original, but it's hardly a game that maintains the status quo. For all intents and purposes it sticks out from the rest of the market. jg4xchamp
