First Person Shooter Dead?

Is there really any point to them any longer? They have become so stale because of the run n gun style that has become so popular with the ADHD gamers of today. Instant gratification seems to be the way of things.

The genre was seen as so promising 10 years ago and now I can't see myself getting excited about any of them now. Not even the new flashy Titanfall.

That said I've been playing Arma II and Operation Flashpoint lately.

Hmmm, that's exciting BUT I'm not even sure I'd really ever want to play as the monster. I enjoy co-op a lot so would probably opt out. Of course I'd try it just to see.

Sorry, I'm more of a single player campaign guy. Ain't no way I'm playing that much for a purely multiplayer game.

Same here

SoG - Have you tried Far Cry 3. I was a little late at taking this one on but really enjoyed its single player mode.

Also agree with some of the earlier comments that Borderlands is well worth a go.

I enjoyed Far Cry 3 a lot. I think it had more to do with actually playing as a character where you cared about what happened more than the actual play. The game play felt like COD. But it goes to show how much smart writing can influence a player.

I've always been crap at FPS

The only one i can remotely remember sticking to was The World Is Not Enough (James Bond) on PS1.

Far cry 3 was brilliant. Completely unbelievable but at the same time totally unique and gets you interested. Looked gorgeous too.

Vaas was an amazing character too.

Romans Bank manager- Vaas was the standout guy from this game, him and the wildlife that seemed to atrtack you at inconvinient times. Still hate those birds after they ruined one of my assaults on an enemy camp.
