"The Conduit is generic"

I see many people claiming that The Conduit is generic. Because it is all about Aliens, we have to save the world, no major addictions in the genre despite gameplay (which is on it's way to be the best on consoles btw).

 

Ok, so based on this criteria I did a list of games that we can call generic also, based on the same thoughts for the Conduit. (The ones I own are marked with a *)

- Resistance 1/2 - Has Aliens, we have to save the world - GENERIC GAME

- Halo 1/2/3 - Aliens, Aliens, Aliens - EPICLY GENERIC GAME

- *CoD5 - WW2, We have to save the world - GENERIC GAME

- *The Darkness - Weird Creatures, so - GENERIC GAME

- Unreal Tournament - Generic name, and on top of that, there is "aliens" - GENERIC GAME

- Left for Dead - ZOMBIES AGAIN??? - OMMMG GENERIC

 

 

I don't remenber anything right now. The list can be updated. Your thoughts...?

Resistance 1: Had an entirely new weapon system, a story which nobody had tried before.

Resistance 2: 8 player co-op, 60 player competitive in groups. That's higher than any other console game.

Halo 1: Truly brought FPS to the consoles. Used a new control system, and basically set the weapon system that would be used again...and again...and again.

Halo 2: Not generic, but derivative.

Halo 3: See above.

CoD5: That was extremely generic, I agree.

The Darkness: You're kidding, right? It had a full movie inside it, DIFFERENT creatures, it was scary, and it had a good story.

Unreal Tournament: Different health system from most shooters, Fast-paced, large environments where you can jump through the air

Left 4 Dead: Wow. Left 4 Dead is perhaps the best co-op game I have ever played. Sure, it has zombies, but the way it makes you tackle your problems, the way it relies on teamwork and co-operation, like a co-op game should, is rare. And Left 4 Dead does it extremely well.

I don't know what to say about The Conduit. Like most non-Wii owners, all I know is that it's an FPS, developed by people with a less than stellar track record (but hey, KZ2 exists), and published by Sega, which some people are hyping to be the second coming of Christ and predicting 3 million sales LT ()

So I suppose calling The Conduit generic stems from not really knowing anything about it.

MadWorld...now that's innovative.
