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.

EDIT: A good example right now is Starfield. Why is a game that is ostensibly about exploration and discovery so obsessed with guns? Let’s be honest, the combat doesn’t even look good. It’s certainly not better gun combat than 90 percent of FPS games from the last decade. So it begs the question: Why have guns at all?

EDIT 2: I’m realizing I should have posted this in c/UnpopularOpinion

    That may be a possibility, but I worry that it will be a second-class citizen in a game that really, really wants you to shoot stuff.
