Ever notice that in every FPS you play, you wield a lethal weapon? Weird. I kid. I'll assume you're pushing for more originality. It's easier to attract publishers/investors if you have a game which resembles a previous commercially successful game. Less risk, higher chance of return on...

Amsterdam is famous for...yeah, exactly.

The gentlemen below is able to break the internet by merely talking about it. You can hear it in the background, if you listen closely...
