I Got Tired of FP Shooters...

I got tired of playing first person shooters. So I'm hardly playing my Battlefield 3 and Black Ops. I think Black Ops is way overrated and I don't see why this was a $60 game for over a year. So many games are FPS and I'm getting tired of them. But I admit I'm playing Rage and Red Orchestra a bit.

So my other games that I play instead of FPS are:
Batman - both games
Company of Heroes - got 16 hrs in this
World In Conflict
F1 2010 & 2011
The Settlers 7
Anno 1404
Torchlight
LA Noire - got stuck in the interrogation scene
Alice: Madness Returns
Driver San Francisco

Men of War : Vietnam stinks
Evochron Mercenary stinks because combat is too hard and being a trader is too boring

Similar to FPS I'm playing:
Skyrim
Lord of the Rings : War in the North
Dungeon Siege 3
Mafia 2 - got stuck in the bank stamps robbery.
Dead Island
I don't like the Assassin's Creed series that much because of the save game system. Can't do a quick save to save your progress.


So what do you think of FPS games? If you're tired of them what do you play?

 

yunoplay Portal?

 

I still play FPS Games, but the MW Games are a bit dull IMO.
The 3rd Person games like Batman are great..

But if you really want a good time, Check out Dawn of War 2, lot of action and a lot of fun.

 

COD= modern counter strike...



Don't believe me? play a few rounds of CS:S...

 

I just quit playing my Portal 2 and Civ 5 ... not too interested in them.

I'm playing the Tutorial Campaign of Total War Shogun 2.

I played the demo of Dawn of War twice on Steam but I never bought the game because I didn't like it.

 

I totally get what you're feeling, OP. It's just the repetition that's kicking in that the game industry has releasing lately.

I've been playing Forza 4 Motorsport on Xbox 360. It might just be a racing game, but it's more challenging than you think. On the PC front, I've been playing Bioshock. It's an FPS, but it's a far cry (no pun intended) from the FPS we play today.

 

i rarely play fps anymore mainly because pwning noobs in pubs is not fun. i would play again if cs:go isnt a failure and establish a competitive scene again (hopefully cal revives)

atm i play mainly play hon with rl friends and some sc2 ladder

 

i would try strategy stuff, ala sc2

 

Just go and play other games! Like what you are doing now . I know what you mean and I feel that too once in a while. Same goes for gameplay, shooting, sci-fi, medieval, magic... etc.

but its really just go and play other genres.

 

I'd definitely look into Diablo 3 when it comes out if I were you. Dungeon Defenders is a "cute" little tower defense/RPG sort of game that you can lose many hours of your life into. Magicka is another fun game that I pick up and play on-and-off, it's one of those easy-to-play-impossible-to-master sort of games. Other than those, I'm a HUGE fan of the Mass Effect series.

 

As much as I was wanting BF3 I ended up not really playing it.

Instead I play Starcraft 2 and Dungeon Defenders as my 2 regular games.

On the side games rotate as I beat them, so I have these going right now.

Recently Beat:
Sonic Generations
Limbo

Currently Playing:
Skyrim
Spacemarine
Saints Row The Third
Renegade Ops

Future Plays:
Dues Ex Human Revolution
Batman Arkham City
Guild Wars 2


I mayyy play D3 but I wont pre-order it or anything I will wait for it to be out and see how it settles.

 

mmmmm deus ex: hr , me like!

 

I'd also put Diablo 3 on the "monitor but don't buy" list.

 

The first FPS I played on PC/online was wolfenstein: enemy territory from its beginning and up til today. After playing the majority of other FPS games out there, it is the best, in my opinion. They dont make em like they used to, thats for sure.

 

How about Dragon Age Origins that a certin... someone... got you for Xmas?

 

im flexible, in my specialty, im in to fps games since when i began gaming, its fps, but i don't concentrate on fps much, most of the time, i cycle my games, 3ps, rpg, nba 2k12 (the only video game sports i like), racing, 2d etc..but idk, im not really into RTS games (have tried but didn't liked it, preferred real time shooting etc.)

 

got tired of it ages ago.
Your next step is games like mass effect 2 imo and then mmorpgs.

 

I am not tired of FPS's but I play empire total war, and looking to your preferences, you will like it

 

I hate FPS games , the only game I enjoyed was Crysis 2.

 

i dislike shooting mutated cockroaches, gives me creepy feeling.

 

I agree.

I found the Single Player Campaign of the FPS Medal of Honor to be much more involving and fun. It wasn't just a continual stream of enemies, but more like the older Delta Force Games, where you could plot your way through some of the missions. Lots of fun, and a very underrated game.

 

The Mass Effect series is the Antidote to PC Game Blues.

 

You think Skyrim is similar to an FPS? Dungeon Siege 3!? Assassin Creed Autosaves every few minutes... I see no need to quick save on a mission, that takes the fun and challenge out of it.

 

Would Portal/P2 fall in the category? I grew weary of FPS, but after playing that, I remembered what fun was.

 

I hated Crysis 2 because they went with a Save Checkpoint system that ruined the Crysis games. I like Crysis 1 and Warhead way better.

I played Mass Effect 2 a little but lost interest.

I didn't like Bioshock and did bother to buy Bioshock 2 - not into it's retro look.

I only played Assassin's Creed 1 and I didn't like it's savegame system. I would lose all progress when he did a suicide jump instead of climb a ledge for a viewpoint. Never tried my AC 2 or Brotherhood yet.

 

just bought ANNO 2070 and i think im hooked!

 

sigh......im in the same book.......getting bored with the recent fps games that have came out......perhaps I should try a different genre

 

I only played the first, but I would say it's more a symptom than an antidote... It was fun and all, but felt like a kind've muddy mash-up of a lot of the things that drain my enthusiasm for gaming over time. It's notable that it was one of the last things I played before I put down gaming for the last couple months.

 

I love FPS. To me theres nothing better then coming home from a long day of work, and killing aliens monster etc. to let off steam. I will admit I don't play every FPS to come down the pike. I try to play different kinds of games-like racing games. I'm playing Kingdom of Amalur right now, a hacker slasher type game I generally don't play, and I'm having a great time. I'm surprised at the number of times I'm killed. I played BF3 and hated it, I played COD:MW 3 and loved it. If you asked me those games are bascially the same, but I hated one and loved the other. Right now I'm devouring the ME 3 demo, and can't wait for the full release in March.

If I'm reading the thread right, a lot of people are just playing the FPS games one right after another. If thats the case, its like eating your favorite food over and over, and over, and over. At some point you'll say enough already.

LONG LIVE THE FPS.!!!

 

They re-vamped a LOT of it with the 2nd one. Gameplay is much more fluid. If you get all of the DLCs, its is a really killer experience.

 

You guys could always check out Mount and blade; although not the most graphically powerful it brings a lot to the table

 

Yeah, I'm tired of FPS's as well, I needed a more casual game that doesn't require the amounts of adrenaline and focus FPS's did. Been playing Star Trek Online as it's free to play, and it's been incredibly awesome and has fulfilled my gaming needs perfectly.

 

S K Y R I M

basically what's in my sig.

 

I'm the opposite, I don't always play FPS so I got tired of games like Skyrim.

 

Guys, I wouldn't consider Skyrim in the FPS genre. For one obvious fact, you can always switch to 3rd Person view. Now you're playing a game like Mass Effect or Fable.
