I know I am... it seems all the games that come out are shooters or shooter based! Why can't we have games that are cheese based? Mhhhh cheese!

Started to get sick of em.

There hasn't been a good modern warfare fps tho besides COD4 since SOCOM 3 and BF2. So as for COD4, LOVE IT.

But sci-fi shooters?? Er.. I'll pass.

Only interested in Bioshock and Crysis really. Even Half Life 2 Ep 2 would be a lil bit stale to me if it didn't come with the colurful and crazy Team Fortress 2.

That's the same as asking the Japanese if they are sick of RPGs.

Starting too....... I'm drifting more towards RTS now. I find myself playing Dawn of War a lot more lately, and C&C 3, and Rise of Legends. Plus I'm really into Assassins Creed and I;m gonna razz the hell outta SMG when I finally get a copy. I don't play too many shooters anymore. Just a bit of COD 4 while i have it rented and some TF2 on occasion.

I'm not sick of shooters themselves, I'm sick of how all the recent ones are so similar to one another.

as long as they keep releasing platformers and racing games and fighers then they can make as many shooters as they want imo

look at it this way, this may be the era of the shooter when all the greatest shooters came out and in 5 years shooters will be the minority and we'll look back on this time with nostalgia "remember the boom headshot guy?"

personally even though i'm playing COD4 there's Haze next month and UT3 at the end of the year and Killzone 2 next year and Resistance 2 next year as well and i'm sure Halo 3 will last a long time, good time for fps games

Seriously. The FPS market is way too oversaturated. The problem with gaming these days is that games are getting way too expensive to produce so publishers don't want to gamble onany new ideas so we get games likeHalo 3 (halo 2.5 to be honest) and Call of Duty 4 (call of duty 2.5),which only minimize theimprovements of what has been donebefore.

What would really revive FPS games, is sort of a virtual reality system where it feels like you are actually in the game.. not 3D glasses.. a proper virtual reality.

Virtual worlds etc, are not due until about another 8-10 years unfortunately.

I like shooters...but it seems nearly everything made these days is a shooter or has you shhoting guns in some sci-fi or war setting. Nothing wrong with those kind of games, but a feter a while, they all start to blend in with eachother.

Yes and now they are making all platformers and adventure games with shooting elements I now buy just about everything that does not have a gun in it.

Not yet. I've been hooked on FPS since Doom, and I've never been even the slightest bit sick of them.

You nailed it right on the head. I still like FPSs(can't wait to get a Crysis-worthy PC), but the problem is that there's just too many of them that follow the same linear formula of "go in room, kill all enemy, rinse and repeat". (Okay, so Crysis still has you going along a general path, killing the same enemies along the way, but at least I have more choice in doing so. Plus, the environments are far more dynamic, especially when things such as trees and small shacks that were once indestructible cover points can now be easily blown away with a little gunfire.) I, for one, would like to see more FPS/RPG hybrids(something like an Elder Scrolls game, but with a vastly improved RPG aspect), particularly with a dynamic campaign system where the land constantly shifts hands, battles pop up anywhere and everywhere, and each battle has a noticable impact on the war itself. (Dynamic campaigns are nothing new-combat flight simulators like Falcon 4.0 have had them for years-but I find them quite lacking in other genres.)

Yeah I kinda am. At least online shooters..... there's just way way too many of them out there. I loved the good old days where there were only a few top PC FPSes and they kept longevity by being so awesome and mods.

Sick? Not just yet but it's getting there. In a certain sense I'm already darn near desensitized to shooters. After playing Halo 3, Bioshock, Orange Box, Call of Duty 4, Resistance: Fall of Man, and soon, Haze, I think I'll have my fill of shooters for a long while. However, all of those gamers are so good that they actually still provide entertainment despite the fact that they're all shooters. But at some point you reach critical mass and you have got to say, "enough already".

It's for that reason that I'm looking forward to games like Assassin's Creed, Uncharted, and Mass Effect. Sometimes you just want a change of pace. Not to mention a change of scenery. After killing the umpteenth Covenant Brute, or head-shotting some dude on LIVE, even Halo 3 starts getting old...
