I think I'm done with shooters. How about you?

Never done with them, personally. I don't ever discount a game because of its genre, and some shooters can be hidden/surprise gems! that said, I do find that about 90% of all third and first person shooters are basically the same with little to no variance, plagued with the same shoddy gameplay/difficulty issues, and the fact that they're flooding the market lately.

Of course, since a surprisingly large chunk of games incorporate shooting elements into them, it's really hard to differentiate them. I refer mostly to stuff that's almost entirely shooting action (Halo, Call of Duty, Gears of War, Battlefield, Bulletstorm, Resistance, Killzone, homefront, etc), not stuff with other elements to it (bioshock, metal gear solid, grand theft auto, fallout, uncharted).

I 'generally' avoid shooters, anyway. I just don't find them that interesting. my favorite shooters this generation have been the Left 4 Dead series, Resistance 3, and Bulletstorm, because they are shooters t hat do things a bit differently. LEft 4 Dead and Resistance has HEALTH PACKS rather than bogus recharging health, Bulletstorm was silly fun and didn't take itself seriously, Resistance had an atmosphere unlike anything I've played in the genre. Not to mention I'm a fan of unique weaponry, fun multiplayer modes, and co op.

generally, I t hink the genre is pretty damn stale.
