Is anyone else sick and tired of how many games these days are focused around gun fighting? IMO, FPS games haven’t markedly improved since the original counter strike which I played as a CHILD. Frankly, I just wish we could all stop obsessing over guns and come up with something new.

    I agree there’s still quite a bit of focus, but I’ve also noticed that FPS’s are actually starting to branch out beyond just shoot’em up, bang, bang content; so guns aren’t the only focus.

    For instance, if you look to the early 2000s, most FPSes were literally just some flavor text with your character behind a targeting reticle shooting everything, but now adays, there’s strategy, crafting, narrative, and a bunch of others; there’s more variety to the gameplay.

      I’d argue that FPS games have been more than that for ages. What about Half Life? Metro? Bioshock?
