unfortunately shooters are really popular and sell extremely well.

they all seem the same to me, just a whole bunch of mindless killing. we can only hope that people will get tired of shooters but i doubt it. people love to shoot things

Yeah its too bad we don't have games like Heavy Rain, God of War, Demon's Souls, LittleBigPlanet, FF13, Bayonetta, Darksiders, Strange Journey, Ninja Gaiden, inFamous, Dragon Age, Valkyria Chronicles, No More Heroes, Command and Conquer, Oblivion, Penumbra, Silent Hill, TvsC, or anything of that sort. Yeah, just shooters. Man. This gen is so horrible. I wanna go back to a generation where a single genre didn't pretty much dominate the industry. Like the NES era. No wait SNES era. No wait PS1 era. No wait... well... I'm sure a generation like that exists somewhere.

theres not even THAT many shooters.. unless by what you mean from shooters is any game that uses a gun or a shooting type of weapon... this should be a thread about where have all the platformers gone? :o

I'm fine with shooters as long as they're not about shooting mid-east terrorists with m4a1. CS is an exception for me though:roll:

Original games come out. They just don't sell well enough for developers to continue to take risks.

Why would developers care to try anything else. Shooters are "unfortunately" extremely popular and have been for a good 10 years. I however am trying different things such as Dragon Age and Sacred2 and LBP these days.

There are plenty of games besides shooters. Shooters are popular so you see them in magazines and stories more often.

Thats one example of a original game that has had success this gen. The problem is more original games are not coming out. Clearly not enough original games are having sucess to continue to take risks with new IPs and original concepts.

Do I sense some irony in your sig? I mean, it's fine to like the 360 and all, but hating the Wii and at the same time complain that there are too many shooters?

Shooters can burn in hell. I am so sick of them, devs need to look back to last and get some inspiration to make great and unique games. Stupid capitalistic america ruined everything...profits>quality and originality. These idiot devs make some generic shooter with mediocre graphics and one feature that is new and try to sell the crap out of it. Some devs like bungie and valve do the whole FPS thing well...but games like HAZE, metro 2033, timeshift, blacksite, and even the horrid COD: MW games are just made to gain a quick buck. Gaming is going downhill, and it sucks.

If you have a PS3, 3D Dot Game Heroes is coming out soon, that game looks pretty fun (and original).

If you haven't seen diversity this gen, you don't know what diversity is.

You're overlooking everything.

Shooters are popular with developers because shooters are popular with consumers.

But let's be honest, there are many different genres and they're all pretty well filled with good games.

Ok, well, it steals ideas from Zelda, but it more does it as a spoof, it's charming I think.

lol it is a blatant copy/homage of the game, but i do agree it does look like fun and it has a charming appeal to it.

Are you sure you want originality? Heavy Rain was raked over coals, being accused of not being a game...let's face it, the gaming community, the majority at least, do not want innovation. They attack games like HR, they simply don't buy games like Flower in mass quantities, dismiss motion controls, and have already written off 3d gaming. We are as conservative and wary of anything different about as much as the bullies in highschool who called us nerds and weirdos. We're just snobs of a different color, narrow-minded and dogmatic.

Heavy Rain and LBP... those are pretty good.
