I didn't not compose my self and a decent manner last night. The it is either my way crap wasn't really the truth. I am open to changing my view points. Sure I perhaps overstated the stagnation of FPS throughout the past 15-20 years. I have a perfect explanation for my behavior last night. I was drunk posting and "discussing" a topic about a genre that I don't really like anymore. Add alcohol and something I don't like and I will start talking shit even and downplay it more than I actually think of the topic. FPS aren't as stagnant as you pointed out with games such as Portal and a few others recent IPs that have added mix to the genre. I'm just tired of FPS. I'm tired of the people talking shit that have mics on FPS. Tired of being accused of cheating when I didn't cheat. Tired of the ups and downs while playing the game online (turns me into a bipolar person because I expect to win every game and if losing it pisses me off). Tired of mainly one franchise: CoD. I'm surprised people still by it more and more each year with little variation they put into their games due to yearly releases. Eventually Activision will turn it into a Guitar Hero or Tony Hawk where they pump out too many titles and eventually people move on. That is about the only thing I hope for. I see Activision as a cancer on gaming (just like I see EA). Anyways, I am not against debate or discussing things civil. It was my fault of posting while drunk on a topic that I don't like that much anymore. |
Ahh, I understand. Time or two I've done much the same thing. Sorry for jumping to conclusions. :P
You are definitely right in saying games like COD have stagnated, especially over the past 5 years or so. Publishers don't seem to want COD getting too comfortable and cornering the market, hence the COD-clones. I have a feeling Activision is aware this isn't self-sustaining, but they're just riding it out. With online, I think it will survive longer than Guitar Hero, but it can't last forever. I, personally, don't care too much for it for the same reasons as you. Online, especially that sort of online, just isn't really my thing, and that's the only appeal to those games.
Still, as you said, there have been some new IPs to mix things up, so I can't write off the whole genre. It's kind of why I figure FPS doesn't really work. Portal and COD are almost nothing alike, but often they still get lumped under the same genre. For me, COD is a Modern Military Shooter, and Portal is a Puzzle Shooter. Modern Military Shooters are terribly stagnant. The Shooter genre as a whole, a bit less so.
I believe in honesty, civility, generosity, practicality, and impartiality.
