Yes i know others have different opinion but why do SOME keep buying anything that is related to FPS and zombies game.Have you wonder why these genre is so popular and able to rack up a lot of sales compare to other genre that is struggling ? Why do i think shooters sell well ? Because it is an easy game to pick and learn and some people think most FPS game have better graphic than other game so it is pleasing to their eye to see something realistic. RTS games is slowly dying because SOME people just don't like to learn complicated things.

When i say mindless,i was talking about the storyline in FPS. Most FPS game is all about revenge and defend their homeland or what not. The only FPS games that did it right is Half-Life and Halo.The other FPS games is just i kill this guy just for my satisfaction or to take revenge of my friend & comrade or to defend my homeland. Some FPS games have other purpose to why they needed to kill this guy or to defeat a particular faction and not just some this guy show up and i have no choice but to kill him/her along with a wave of enemy. 


Most FPS games that sell well have great multiplayer.  Call of Duty, Halo, Killzone, Counterstrike, Left 4 Dead, Borderlands, Battlefield, etc all have great multiplayer. Not to mention some of them like Halo, Half-Life, Resistance, Portal, and others have good stories.

They sell well because they are good games.  As I said before, you will see more RPG games release than FPS games.  And you keep saying it is easy to pick up and play.  Then go do play online which is what most people do anyways.

Other genres sell well too.  Just seems you aren't happy because your favorite games aren't selling the best.

RTS games aren't dieing because of that either.  RTS is still popular on PC but has little to no chance on consoles.  Mobas and dungeon crawlers like Dota, Torchlight, and Diablo are very popular.  Rpg's are popular as well though people seem a bit tired of Jrpg's outside of Japan.  Every genre has good and bad sellers in reality.  Why?  Because every genre has good and bad games.
