Call me "Hadouken." I'm ââ fierce.
Being honest here, I just can't stand to play FPS games any longer.
I was a giant fan during the end of the 90s with games like Counter Strike, Starsiege TRIBES, Unreal and GoldenEye 007.
I moved into Halo like many people and stuck with it to Halo 3 then dropped the Halo series shortly after its release, skipped ODST, played Reach for about a month because friends had it and then have played all of 10 minutes of Halo 4.
Loved the hell out of Team Fortress 2 for about 6 months while working in the game industry.
Never got into Call of Duty.
Loved Bad Company 2 for like 6 months, as well as the Vietnam expansion came out... Battlefield 3 I dropped after 3 days.
The problem with FPS games for me is that there doesn't seem to be the same shifting/expanding/evolving meta game in them like with other games I have dived into and been a part of, especially competitively.
I really got bored of FPS games being easily boiled down into "these collection of guns are the best in the game" and being linked to the same basic strategy. If that makes any sense. Like, with Halo, once people found out the DMR/BR were the best guns, pretty much every other gun gets pushed aside. Unlike say, Street Fighter (which I used to play in tournaments) where a player can create a new way to use a lower tiered character to be more effective than people originally thought them to be.
Dunno, just can't play FPS games anymore unless they start rolling out games in the Shadowrun/TRIBES style.
Agree? Disagree? What genres can you no longer play?
