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.
Maybe we just stop making FPS games if we can’t innovate on them?
Could make that argument for every genre though. Racing games will always fundamentally be about making a vehicle get to a finish line before the other ones, etc. Applies outside of games, too. Music, books, film, if you set the bar for innovation that high then we just all stop doing art.
