First-person shooter franchises

Most FPS games. Unless they have an intriguing story like BioShock, or a fun gimmick, they’re all just Doom/GoldenEye/CoD clones. — ArmoredTitan

While I do give credit to Bungie for what they did with Halo, bringing FPS’s to console; I simply cannot understand how anyone enjoys these games. From campaign to multiplayer, I just don’t see anything remarkable about any of the games. The first three games have almost literally the same gameplay sequences (fight the Covenant, fight the Flood, drive a Warthog off an exploding thing). Additionally, Master Chief has to be one of the least likeable, least relatable, emotionally void main characters ever created in a AAA series. I just don’t understand how it has become Microsoft’s flagship series. — The Guy

Call of Duty and pretty much every other FPS game out there.

FPS games were my go-to form of entertainment back in the Doom/Quake/Heretic days, but over the years, most of the popular FPS games went from having complex maps with multiple routes and secrets to unlock to being a series of well-decorated tubes connecting a bunch of cutscenes. I switched to other genres of video game entertainment (3rd person shooters, RPGs, MOBAs, etc.) and haven’t looked back. — ConwayCostigan

I never could get into any kind of competitive online game, like CoD or Fortnite. Mostly because I’m anti-social, mind you, but also just the whole culture around them seems non-inclusive and possibly toxic. — paradsecar
