I like the 3rd person games more, but a good fps is always fun.

Bobcast is paid in MILF blind dates.

Developers need to try and promote what's unique about their game instead of using the same thing as other games.

The human element always mucks things up.

Character speeds are too high now and health is too low. Also we're getting half assed 5 hour campaigns now and that just pisses me off.

Over-saturated, half-assed, SHORT campaign, gimmicky genre.

How many new IPs do you actually see these days? Look at the GoTY recommendations and count the new IPs. The market is over-saturated to hell and developers are content to just rehash the same old crap year in, year out because people keep purchasing the game.

What?

Over-saturated with crap titles. The FPS Genre is pretty much what the Platformer Genre was back in the day

I'm really a story-driven guy. If a game has a good story, I'll keep playing. The FPS genre has never really had any good story-driven games. Of course there are a few notable exceptions, but for the most part, it's dead.
Developers are spending more and more time on Multiplayer, too right, they should. Multiplayer should be a great experience. But it's taking away from the potential of an amazing Campaign.

Bioshock nailed it. It had no multiplayer to take away from it's great single player experience. It's a reason Bioshock 2 didn't do too well.

I feel some FPS' should take a break from Multiplayer and focus on a great story-driven game. Of course this is being done at the moment, we have Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light to be released. Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite to be released. However I feel they're overshadowed by big titles like Halo, Battlefield etc. Games that, in my opinion, primarily focus on the Multiplayer.

Unto the Fray we go

I generally like the well made FPSs, the ones that get your heart racing as the action pumps in all directions while your adrenaline goes into overdrive.

Doesn't matter how old or new, wither it's DOOM or Halo 4, a good FPS will always make my day.

I think people tend to base their decisions on seemingly minor things, that's not what makes a game bad, they can be annoying (WHERE IS ASSAULT 343i) but that's not what makes a game bad.
