I couldn't play Wolfenstein because it got too intense. I took a multi-year break from video games and I like what I see, but many FPSes are just too intense to me with its sensory overload. I get the appeal of Fortnite and other Battle Royale style games though, they got that sweet spot of competitiveness and ease of getting into them perfectly.

I can't stand FPS:es anymore. They are so repetitive and you need to concentrate too much. Also I guess I don't think violence is cool/exciting anymore since I got older.

Yes after years of playing FPS, the S in the acronym is pretty boring. I love the First Person perspective, I just wish more games would explore non-combat mechanic possibilities.

It's not a morality thing either, I am just bored of it and feel it is a massive crutch of an industry that's petrified to make a game without combat.

Agreed entirely. The Metroid Prime series scratches that itch for me. Perfect balance of combat and exploration. Now if only they’d finish MP4…

Ever tried Subnautica?

[ehnto]

I have, I loved both games, exactly the kind of thing I mean too. The Occupation is another good example I like to recommend.

Hadn’t played a fps for 20 or so years (since UT , Q3, and Half Life) but decided to play duke nukem 3D for the first time in forever

Those face sucking aliens in the dark corridors are hella scary, far scarier now than they were as a teenager in the 90s.
