Gun focused games (lemmy.world)

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?
