Anybody else growing bored of FPS?

I really like FPS games, but after playing them on LIVE for hours for a couple of years, they're not really that exciting anymore. I've gone without raging for 3 days, but it's still just not fun. I'm getting back into games like Fallout, Fire Emblem, Minecraft, etc. Does anybody else get this way?

I would not say that I am bored of FPS, but it definitely is easier to drain a me, due to high amounts of concentration and competitive nature involved.

Yeah, it's kinda that, and I gorw frustrated so quickly now, along with the fact that FPS these days don't have nearly as good of a story as a lot of RPG type games do (Minecraft doesn't count, obviously),

no, not really.

Sometimes I feel that way, thats why ive been playing new vegas the past few days. Call of duty pissrd me off the other day, so I took a break.

No. I can't ever imagine that. I've been playing FPS since Doom on windows 3.1, man. If I've gone that long, I can't see myself quitting any time soon due to boredom. Future consoles will renew the experience each time.

Also, I play lots of RPGs, so if I get kind of tired of shooting, I can play one of those.

I'm getting tired of it now. Used to be one of my passions and I was really good at it but now I suck so I'm actually depressed about it...yes I'm butt hurt but I can be if I want to. I'm good at a great many things. I'm an artist, a painter, an amatuer palaetologist, an archer, a hunter, a really good dad, I'm very good at my work. I keep going back for my humiliation though.

RPG's are what I like to play to relax. I also love old.school platformers,.so my wii gets alot of use. Thats enough to kerp it fresh.

That's cool! You ever find anything digging? I like hunting too as a matter of fact. What kind of artist are you? What do you paint, and what style?

I am steadily, I like a bit of RPG and Minecraft. I may get back into rockband and become pro at it again.

I haven't played Minecraft for about a week, but I'm beginning to itch to play it. It's rather ironic; I've been watching Black Ops since the day it came out, and I love CoD so much, but I'd rather play old games than any of my brand new ones, lol. Even FO doesn't seem as much fun as FE right now; guess I'm just not in the mood for killing things I guess.

I want to buy a RPG for xbox and record a playthrough but I am not sure. I sold my RPGs and have mainly FPSs D:

I made the same mistake, but I'm really glad I still have FE for the Gamecube/Wii. Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn are amazing, as well as Metroid Prime. Nintendo still makes great games, it's just not nearly as many as they used to; I kinda wish I had Metroid Prime here now. Gah! I want to play too many games at once; the only reason I feel an urge to play CoD right now a little is because I'm addicted to that game, I won't lie.

I've played FPS games for............15 years now... not bored yet!!

Well, maybe I'm not bored. Maybe I just need a break for a bit?

I played zombies for the first time tonight.... it was pretty interesting. I got confussed when someone told me to go tot he teleprompter though. =o(

Zombies never gets that old though. I was playing with Tallness yesterday, it was pretty fun, for the most part.

I had no clue what I was doing at first. The guy I was playiung with did a good job of telling me what was going on though. I like MP but I could see myself giving zombies another go.

Yeah, it's pretty great. Higu and I accidently lost on Wave 1 somehow, by dying to nothing. We called all the Zombies and at the end of the wave, I was knifing and teabagging at him, then we dove at each other and died. We both laughed ourselves silly over it, but we couldn't get it to work again. Wish there was a theater mode for Zombies.

I haven't even tried the zombies yet.

It's pretty fun, tbqh, but only play with friends, because listening to screaming children trying to glitch, and playing zombies with complete idiots isn't that fun.

I go in spurts really. There are times where I'll be addicted for DAYS or eve WEEKS, but then I'll burn myself out and go play something else like Fallout or WoW. Hell I usually occupy myself by drawing and going out to fire a real gun at the local range lol. Work also helps me cut the time I play anyway, so I don't burn out quite as easily as I used to.

I usually stick around for two or three matches and then I'm done for the evening.

THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!

Sorry, it was waiting for that joke, it was. But on topic, I could see how working actually does make games more fun.

I've been playing FPS for a looooooooooong time (like cramtron I've played them since Doom first came out). Online shooters are actually kinda new to me though. BC2 was MY first, though I had played MAG, CoD, and others at friends houses. I would have thought I would be bored of BC2 by now but I'm just not. I enjoy the competetive nature of it all, I love the tactics and stratagy of it all, and goddamnit I love owning people on BC2! it's the only shooter I've played that I can say "I am really good at it"

I've played them since I've had my N64, back when I was 6, and I still have began to grow bored of them, but like I said, I think it's just temporary. In a few weeks, I'll probably want to play them a lot again.

BC2 is good for that too, lol.

It is defintly nice to have a backup game or two, I play fallout if nobody is on BC2, but that is technically a FPS RPG. now that I think about it the last non-FPS game I bought was assasins creed 2.

It is kinda both, but I still love Fallout. It's too great of a game not to play
