Is Anyone Sick Of the Amonut Of FPS?!

Alright so last gen fps were one of the biggest if not the biggest genre especially for multiplayer but does anyone else agree that this gen they are pretty much the same with better graphics, halo 3, haze and even though killzone 2 looks like one of the best graphical games yet it just looks pretty much the same. I mean i love fps and always liked the medal of honour series but theres just too much of the same games. The big reason why i would buy them nowthis gen is online play.

Does anyone else agree that we need more storyline base games like mgs, gta, silent hill, resident evil and mass effect, these are games that will keep hooked for longer and you feel really into it and interested. My opinion is that fps will just become like football games, really only for casual play with a friend online or offline. I also love games like onimushua which are good and long and have great story and gameplay was fantastic, does anyone else agree. I think mgs has the right idea, you can choose to play in fps or 3rd person, so anyway just wanna know your opinons, i mean i do love fps but get sick if theres too many cause they are really just the same now, i hope we get more great games such as onimushua and rpg's that don't have a kiddy feeling.

I'm sick of bad FPS games.

Sick of the genre? Never.

The only FPSs im gonna own by the end of the year are RB6 and COD4, so yea I just ignore most FPS because I feel they are way too repetitive. It sucks theres such a slim selection of action adventure games thats why Im hoping to see some great reviews for AC and Uncharted.

The Onimusha series died when Onmusha 2 was released, after that the series became a train wreack.

I never found intrest in the GTA series, I personnaly dont find it enjoyable to mow down hundreds of defenseless people that have no way of fighting back, that series horribly overrated.

Silent Hill is good, but the gameplay has never been fluid, hopefully SH 5 can break that cycle.

MGS to me has never a good series,In terms of gameplay, the gameplay elements never followed the theme of the game, and running in 8-directions is very "PSone generation".

I think after two it stop being groundbreaking, personnaly.

RPGs are good, Japanese RPGS is something I tire of.

Yes Yes and Yes

I really do think the FPS genre is starting to get out of hand.

I've haven't brought a FPS since Rainbow Six Vegas on 360 and I sold that a long time ago,

Next one I'm buying is Call of Duty 4 (360) (and that ones prolly a keeper)

i dotn get when people say FPS's are all the same game.

I'd wager that Bioshock, Halo 3, Call of duty, Stalker etc are very different types of games. You cant say these games are "the same" because they really arent.

Also, you odnt have to play them. shocking, i know.

Final Fantasy 13 Late 2009

PS3.

I can totally symphatize with the TC. I can't figure out why FPS's seem to be the most popular genre in the US. They usually have no story, non-distinctive under-developed characters, andI feel like I'm doing a chore when I'm forcing myself to beat one.Even Halo 3, I got tired of and didn't finish.

Recently, in the last couple of months I had gotten a 360 and as shooters are the most popular game on the system, I really tried to get myself to like them, and I just couldn't. Halo 3 was pretty good but the SP is definitely not AAA calibur, Perfect Dark Zero was a huge letdown for me, I really want to find whoever gave that game a 9 and yell at them for being such a horrible reviewer, no way in hell is that game AAA, at best it's a mid 8 game, but imo it's in the 7's. GRAW was another game that let me down after seeing the reviews.

Anyways I sold my 360 and got a PSP with Metal Gear Solid: PO, Daxter, and GTA: Liberty City Stories. I'm having a lot more fun with those games then I did with all the shooters on the 360.

Despite the fact that the 360 is supposed to havean awesome library that surpasses all other next-gen consoles, when I had it, I ended up playing my DS & Wii a lot more. Now I have a DS and PSP which are both awesome. The Wii is enough to keep me content from the console side for now considering that I love the Virtual Console, I never had a Gamecube so I'm still trying to get caught up with GC games (Prime 1&2, Windwaker, Eternal Darkness, pikmin, Tales of symphonia, etc.)and though many people try and say there are very few, imo there isa good number of solid Wii titles either out or coming soon like Mario Galaxy, Zelda: Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime 3, Zack & Wiki, Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition, Godfather: Blackhand edition, Trauma Center: Second Opinion, Trauma Center New Blood, Guitar Hero 3, No More Heroes, Super Paper Mario, Bully, Manhunt 2, NiGHTS, Mario Strikers, Elebits, Battalion Wars 2, Fire Emblem, etc.

And despite all the bad pub it's been getting, when I finally do get a nice big HDTV (I was playing my 360 on my computer monitor) I'll probably get a PS3 next year as games like Heavenly Sword, Uncharted, Ratchet & Clank, Metal Gear Solid 4, and Final Fantasy 13 are more appealing to me then the "big" games on the 360 which are mostly shooters.

:cry: Where are all teh good RPGs??? I want some great games that aren't shooters. Some platformers, a real rayman game perhaps, mario galaxy, a good sonic game maybe... Then some jrpgs like FF, FE, FFT, maybe a new franchise. 3rd person shooter/adventure games would be nice, AsCr style. But mainly, I'd like to see more fresh games like Spore and Portal. Oh yeah and a decent fighting game wouldn't go amiss...groudyogre

People say this every time something is a current fad, I have seen the same argument made about platformers, fighting games, sandbox and almost every other genre you can name.

Eventually sales will go slack and something else will be overproduced and people will say the same thing about whatever it is that replaces the glut of fps the we see curently.

As for right now though I'm not sick of fps.

I used to HATE FPS, and up until last year had only played Half Life and System Shock 2, but this gen I am enjoying them more and more, for the simple fact that most FPS games this gen are much better games than those of other genre's, which I feel have let us down thus far.

Well, The Witcher and Hellgate both come out before Mass Effect since they come out this week, so yeah.

Before Halo 3 and Bioshock and this last quarter of 2007's lineup , how many really great FPS games released in the last year? I really can't name a ton off hand. Lets try , I will add them in.Maybe the industry needed this influx.

Exactly. There aren't really that many good FPS's. I don't know why people act like there's too many this generation.

Nope I love Fps.

you got bioshock which came out a month and a half ago, you have assassins creed and mass effect coming out in just a few weeks now and then in the beginning of next year you got games like MGS4, GTA4 and Too Human and Devil May Cry.

there arent that manyFPSs announced for 08 so that should be good for you.

im kind of looking for some story lined based games but there are coming Mass Effect and Assassins Creed are locks to be awesome and should keep me busy and then MG4 and GTA4 in the beginning of next year.

but ill be good on shooters after UT3 comes out early next year i will probably have Halo 3, Gears of War, Unreal 3, and Call of Duty 4 and maybe Kill Zone 2 but it depends on that one.

Who's publishing Lost oddessy? If it's square or someone. It's getting ported in a few monthes...

As long as there are some fps games that are really good, I don't mind.

Zerostatic is a sheep!

come on do you even have xbox live. thats what GRAW and Halo 3 were made for.

and you didnt even mention Oblivion the best RPG to come out in a long time, Gears of War the highest rated FPS for the 360, or Bioshock which has an awesome story mode and is really fun. Plus they have all the best racers right now with Forza and PGR, and Assassins Creed and Mass Effect will both be out in a couple of weeks.

jjjeezz you just dont like games if you dont like the 360 right now.

I have no problem with it. You have plenty of games that aren't FPS games to choose from.

The market has spoken. The more FPS games the merrier.

I think the problem isnt so much that there are too many shooters, but rather, FPS's have generally been the best games the past year or two.

of over 50 AA-AAA games on the 360, 15 are shooters, that is no where near a majority, but the catch is that of those 15 shooters, some 6 or so are AAA. Basically what im saying is, there isnt an overkill of shooters, theres just a large majority of good FPS games to come out as of late, and as such, we notice it more.

Lets see, This year so far.

there has been

"The Darkness" (Crap)
