The same old thing.... over and over and over again

[Jaged]

The last 5 FPS's I have played have all done the exact same plot twist. They all started out fighting a normal enemy then introduce some sort of scary monster half way through. This is interesting a few times but it is really getting old. What gives? Why do they keep doing the exact same thing.

The last 5 FPS's I have played are:
Halo 1,2- the flood
doom- demons
farcry- trigen
half life 2- head crab's and all that freaky alien shit

When are they going to come up with a new way to make games interesting? I mean name any non world war 2 shooter and there is a 90% chance it does the exact same thing. Even some ww2 shooters follow this plot (wolfenstein). Am I the only one who is sick of it?

Yes.

Doom would be great without demons.

Halo would be perfect without Flood.

Half Life 2 would rock without headcrabs.

TB.

You just got crapped on.

Do any GTA games have a plot twist like that? Not that I know of.

thats because Vice City was a rip off of Oliver Stone's Scarface.

Halo 2 does not introduce a new creature, you just know deep inside that you will be fighting the flood.

A little theme difference between those 5 games stated and this one. Sifi vs. whatever the theme is for GTA.


With a game like HL and Halo, you can't expect any less, its sience fiction, its going to happen. What would you want?

I suppose there's always the tried-and-true TV cliche of having to fight an evil clone of yourself.

you fight a headcrab in the second level, were your escaping the the sewer.in addition to the thingys with the long tounge things.

thats not helfway though, and you know all along that headcrabs will be back. along with teh zombies that they make.

It would be nice to have one of the "Epic" shooter realeases that we have every so often just stick to normal, non-supernatural/monstrorus, enemies.
