I just personally despise 1st Person View, its a pet peeve of mine. I just hate the sight of hands just sticking out the screen and the idea that the motions are restricted to this box of view doesn't seem natural to me. Only game I liked 1st person in was Mirror's Edge. And what I didn't address was that part of my distaste for the genre is that it is synonymous with guns. 3rd Person games and Action games are guilty of this. I think they are too centered on in games these days, or maybe I just don't see the facination. Shooting someone has to be the boringest way to end someone....now decapitating them with a sword is different :P |
Shooters are a popular genre right now, and will likely stay that way for some time just like platformers and character action games once were. There are just far more possible settings that involve guns, with modern day, modern military, historical, steampunk, cyberpunk, sci-fi etc. Where for anything that is an action game and doesn't involve guns there is pretty much just fantasy and historical. there are still plenty of games that aren't shooters, you can't blame the industry is catering to the largest audiance. Especially if you are also going to complain about studio closures. It just make it sound like you are complaining that the other kids have more toys than you with that arguement.
Also XCOM is not an RTS and Twisted Metal is not really a racing game ether.
