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 mean, this has always been Bethesda's "thing". They make RPGs. I grew up making incredibly dumb character builds in Oblivion where I'd bounce around rooms dodging fireballs and karate chopping people with a character that looked like Patrick Stewart.

On the other hand, I get it, Bethesda's "strongsuit" has always been exploration, lore, environmental storytelling, just living in a world... and I think Eastshade is a cool take on how to make a game that's just about that.
