The whole first person shooter genre.

I just never got why its so popular. Every game has the same gameplay with a different face... i dont understand how people dont get tired. I got bored of FPS' when i played my first 2 back on the PC (and they are pretty bad to play on controllers aswell).

I would like to see the rise of the MMORPG genre on consoles though. I believe that the tablet controller and hard drive on the WiiU gives it the perfect handling support for such games.

Thats like saying Racing, Fighting, Platforming, RPG etc genres should die too.

Not all FPS games are the same ;) .

Is it really? Because i can see gameplay differences in racers, platformers etc that make them different.Say for example on racing games you have simulation racers and arcade racers, its also a limiting genre but less limiting than the FPS one. I gues the 3rd person shooter genre is quite bland aswell but its newer. platformers, RPG, etc vary a lot more and more easily to tinker with to have completely different gameplay feels.

 

So you can see the difference between arcade/sim racers but can't tell the difference between Halo and Call of Duty, for example? Hell there are even big gameplay differences between even more similar games like Call of Duty and Battlefield. CoD is a run and gun, quick reaction type shooter where a highly skilled individual can single-handedly go off on his own and win the game for his team...whereas Battlefield is slower paced with more camping and requires teamwork and planning to win a game, you can't just go run off ahead and win the game for your team unless you're like the best player ever. 

Just because you hate FPS doesn't mean you can just claim they're all the same and are bland.
