FPS'd out.

[Beefy Hits]

I got FPS'd out about 13 years ago with Doom for PSOne.

Doom for PSOne.

Yuck.

I like to shoot things and see people/monster die by headshots.

and looks at what's on the release list this year and sighs.

I see a ton of great looking, non-FPS coming so even if I was sick of the genre, I wouldn't be worried.

I do occasionally tire of playing first-person shooters but I go back to them when I'm ready. I do that with most genres. And pretty much all genres have variety to them if you look beyond the surface.

I made it to Doom 64. But yeah.

Yeah, there are certainly some great looking non-FPS games coming out, but I think calling it a ton is a stretch. I'm welcome to being surprised, though.

I got FPS'd out with Doom

Now it's right. Anyway, I know how you feel. I never really liked FPS games to begin with and ever since they became the dominant genre, my interest in video games has gone way down. There are still good/great games to be had. They are just few and far between.

I'm liking Mirror's Edge! And Left4Dead is super rad! Oh oh and Fallout 3 too! So I guess I'm not FPS'd out.

Maybe you need to stick with good games?

Yeah. Mirror's Edge is a case where it's a first person game that isn't totally an FPS but you don't really feel like calling it something else. L4D Versus is awesome, and I'm loving Crysis and looking forward to starting Fallout 3 and Crysis Warhead.

Hell, between Quake Live and UT3, I'm right back into even the traditional DM games.

[YellerDog]

Generally like the genre, played a HELL of a lot of Quake III. "Black" was the game that kind of knocked me off the genre. It was terrrrrrible. Like a compeltely neutered Soldier of Fortune.

Since then, Half Life 2 was a big "meh", the Unreals continue to be second-stringers on all counts, and the most interesting things coming out of the genre seem to be variations on the theme, like Portal or Mirror's Edge.


Left 4 Dead is fucking cool, however.

[Pineapple]

I still enjoy FPS games even if I've played a thousand of them and many have been similar. But it all comes back to the one that I can still play to this day and have as much fun with as I did in 1999: Counter Strike. Shit is gold.
