You know, if you actually went out of your way and looked you would find games that you want.bussinroundz said:
Perhaps you would like to Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad?
I'm tired of them being done poorly and being unchallenging, they are the facebook of video games
I meant Xbox Live Arcade, but I left out the last bit, so I can see why you're confused...Tax_Document said:
I personally don't follow the genre, but my friend Broosy absolutely stands by the RO series, your best bet would be to go on Steam and have a look, the games you mentioned are very good but you'd be hard pressed to find new ones, my message is keep looking, you never know what you'll find.bussinroundz said:
I played 10 minutes of Medal of Honor 1, wasn't my cup of tea. I'd rather carry an arsenal of weapons and use them as I see fit.

Honestly its mostly the pace and the "grittiness" that tires me out of them. Most have a competent story and good technical design, just lack anything creative or original.
Like they came out of a cookie cutter.
Some are good, but there is far more of em out there than i ever want to play.

This thread reminded me of a game I want to make sometime if I ever get to.
Think Die Hard but in space playing as a teenage girl.
You wake up from cryosleep unexpectedly, hearing footsteps. Grabbing a monkey wrench you sneak over to the door, breath held. He walks by, arguing over his radio where to find the control room and something about explosive decompression. Before he gets a chance to turn, you smash him with the wrench- teeth and blood flying off into the walls. Grabbing his radio and a few scribbled notes, you start to figure out what's happening...

Sorry, 2 big name shooter releases = 80% of the ENTIRE industry? Since the fuck when? You do know that "Gaming industry" does not mean "shooter genre" right? The industry as a whole includes all publishers and developers, not just EA and Activision. It includes all genres, not just the damn shooters. Why does 2 military shooters coming out mean the whole industry is making military shooters? Why?
yes I'm bored of them. I play scifi shooters now, I don't mind when they include future miltiarys because at least then, there is future gadgets and stuff that is fun to play around with. I just lost the... specialness that was in MW1 and 2.
I have three points to make
1:The Gamestop video was a little biased then again it's gamestop
2:Basicly no i enjoy my CoD it's my turn brain off game
3:If you don't like these games pay them no attention
all i'm saying is the genre has sold so much by now constantly complaining seems redundant.

Military shooter is the only genre that I actively avoid. I'm very sick of them and would like to see a surge in a non-violent genre.
The military shooter genre is to a point where it's a very safe investment for developers. However, there are shooters other than military shooters, which is where one will find most of the innovation. Bioshock Infinite and Dishonored look incredibly enticing. I haven't heard any actual details of STALKER 2, but something tells me that the developers have some interesting plans based on what they've done in the past.
Not really, I just don't buy many. I don?t have to buy every military shooter that comes out. There are many other games from different genres that I want at the moment so I?m happy. I don?t really feel that they are drowning the market.
