God, it's depressing that this list fills so easily. Try the "top 15" list for genres like PnC, Platformers or even jRPGs.

I don't even mind shooters, but auto aim just makes me blech. CoD is swimming in it on consoles, and I just can't stand it. I'm happy for those who don't care, and while I rarely complain about things I don't like (since tastes will vary, obviously), this thread only serves to highlight the ridiculously heavy weighting shooters have gotten this generation.


I can tell I'm going to use this link a lot from now on: http://www.theonion.com/content/video/hot_new_video_game_consists

 

That link is fantastic!

It's funny, but I actually returned COD:WoW and have found myself seriously getting switched off by the increasing focus on 'armchair warriours' with each title seeing, in my view, and increasingly uneasy mix of graphic warfare with entertainment.

When it comes to shooters I'm really graviting back to SF settings like Gears, Killzone, etc. or the best of them all Half Life 2.  I replayed it recently and it just made me realise how well it takes you on an adventure with depth and how the shooting seems almost secondary to the adventure.

Playing through COD SP again really made me realise its all about the shooting, and even though elements of COD4 SP ere great, it was just one level of constant shooting after another, with everything else that would actually knit a narrative together stripped out.

Maybe I'm getting old, or maybe I'm just jaded, but WW2 and modern day shooters aren't interesting me anymore right now.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
