shooters peaked at titanfall and it's all been downhill from there.
I don't want a fucking 'hero' character unless it's a PVE game with an actual GODS DAMNED STORY.
Fuck this shit.
Spec ops: The Line, perfect example of an actual 'hero' character shooter with a story.
Yea originally I hoped all the Overwatch shorts were building to something.
But no, the overwatch "plot" is just random erratic threads going all over the place. Fuck that.
Every other hero shooter has been similar, and most don't even get close to having unique enough characters or an interesting setting to care. Concord at least have the character part it seems,but the gameplay and well, everything else is just meh.
that was the plan for overwatch, but they massively fucked it up on several fronts. game's still fun though imo
God damned right. Yes, Apex Legends was/is great. Sure. But I'd rather have had more Titanfall. 10000 times over more Titanfall.
even then we already have the ideal PVE shooter: deep rock galactic
the only hero we need is someone to arrest driller for his numerous warcrimes
