The following is taken from my post in a similair thread
"FPS will soon (hopefully) slow down, they have only "been huge since 1993" because that was the year of DOOM. Which if you boil down any fps out there today from then until now it is the exact same game. Even if they don't slow down it wont matter to me because i'm not wasting any more money on the same game I've been playing for around 8 years now. Hilariously enough Doom is still better then most FPS out there today as well as it at least made you think from time to time to solve certain puzzles or switch combinations.
Personally I am sick and tired of it, even if Doom one of the greatest games of all time started it, it needs to stop. I would like to see more innovation in games regardless of what it is or which direction (tho I'm not that fond of the motion controlled garbage thats out there these days either) but i am definitely sick of seeing, modern combat this, ghost warrior that, future war bad company blah blah blah so on and so forth. Every one is exactly the same as before it and like i say, then can all easily be traced back to 1993 and for good reason. Am i the only one sick of living in the 90's?"
Thats the way i see it, and yes, you might say I'm overly burnt out on fps's, thankfully I do play an enormous variation of games so theres still plenty out there to keep me occupied.
The other thing i find upsetting is that its presenting a real lack of original ideas. The guys working on battlefield bad company 2 decided their "New" expansion for the game would be battlefield Vietnam, a game that came out years ago on PC (look it up no joke) I'm really tired of saying been there played that, wheres the innovation nowadays!?
