Reader Discussion: Which Game Genre Are You Burned Out On?
In the age of infinite triple-A shooters, zombie titles, and quirky indie games, it's easy to feel burned out on a particular genre. Which, if any, game genres are you sick of seeing?
After the deluge of shooters at E3, I feel even more burned out on the genre(s) than I normally do. I grew up on N64 FPS games, so I have nothing inherently against shooters. However, when I feel like the majority of games presented to me are violent, brown and/or grey games that took way too much money to create, I feel a little hopeless.
What about you? Which game genre are you particularly burned out on? Sick of fighters? JRPGs? Pixelated indie games? Why?
