Absolute disaster.

Hmm. I guess theres just something about First-Person-Shooters that don't hold up compared to other gaming genres. I've never been a fan of them, Perfect Dark was the only one I ever got into. Even then it's far from my favorite game of all time.

I'm 28 and in the same boat. I just don't get the urge to play them. 2 years ago I would have slapped my future-self if I'd found out that I bought Last of Us, only played about 4 hours of it(over the course of a month) and just stopped playing altogether.

I bought Arkham Origins the week it came out and its still in its shrink-wrap. Same with Silent Hill Downpour now that I think about it.

Games just aren't doing it for me these days.

It's more that Halo absolutely perfected how a shooter should work with a controller and those N64 shooters immediately became obsolete. It's not a genre thing. Look at Doom, Unreal Tournament and Counter-Strike. Those games are old as sh*t and not only have they aged gracefully, but people still play them. Goldeneye and Perfect Dark are games that were a product of their time and little from that generation holds up, outside of games still firmly routed in old design and the absolute classics.

I have played all the Deus Ex games and yes, they are great. The original Deus Ex and Deus Ex: Human Revolution are two of my favorite games of all time.

Kinda. I probably just have to get new ones since I've played every game I have half a dozen times.
