Its an FPS! Its always been the same game since Wolfenstein and Doom first came out. They just added more polygons and some storytelling to it.

Its exactly why i dont like the genre. You played one, you played them all (gameplay wise, in general).

You think you've played Bioshock: Infinite or Half-Life 2 if you played Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3? That's just like saying that you've played all platformers if you've played one of them. Except in platformers, there's usually not a big emphasis on story (and thus less reason to play through it "all over again") so the saying would be even more relevant here.


Notice how i mentioned gameplay wise in general. There are some that have their own twists. This is the case with Bioshock, but not really with Half-life.

As far as platformers, yes its the same in the same set of rules (in general). Say for example super mario world and new super mario brothers play literally the same. Say that Highlander indie game of recent memory played alot like prince of persia aswell. It depends on wether the game adopts a different set of moves. I would say FPS are worse than platformers though, as most of them really are only "get a gun and shoot in first person (taking into account these weapons usually do the same, so lets not include portal in there)".
