Shooters getting out of hand?

Do you think the lastest shooters are getting out of hand? Like Gears 2 looks too bloody and COD5 looks overated. When you look at the shooters of yesteryear it was just shoot anything you see dose not matter waht gun you have just shoot. I think todays shooters are overated and way to bloody, and im a retro gamer.Shooters getting out of hand?
I stopped playing shooters for a while ever since I was a hardcore CS player.but now looking at the shooters on 360 I'm pretty happy -- I think Gears 2 looks really good and I can't wait for COD World at War -- I don't think they're over rated, granted, I haven't been into shooters for a while now. Shooters getting out of hand?
How is CoD:WaW overrated as many people who like the game that equal number of people also hate it
I think shooters now are just fine, considering I only started on 007: Golden Eye, but my dad has shown me all the old arcade ''shooters'' if you consider them so, and they are just fine too, it depends on your taste my friend.
I think shooter games are alright in my book.
I have to disagree. Shooters are my favorite genre and I am looking forward to both Gears 2 and COD 5. I do not think that shooters are any more violent than other games like Ninja Gaiden, God of War, etc.
Shooters are ok but i'm getting sick of them. The only shooter i'm enjoying right now is TF2.
I disagree. There a lot of great shooters coming out like Gears 2, FarCry 2, Resistance 2, etc. To each his own. Personally i enjoy every type of genre of games except for real time strategy games.
I think game companies, regarding shooters specifically, are focusing on one thing at a time. For example, first it was perfecting the HUD. Then the weapons. Then the game mechanics themselves (cover systems, squad-based combat, multiplayer, etc). Then it was the graphics. What seems to bother you in the gore.. which comes as a 2nd step to creating fictional reality (you know, Gears 2 LOOKS like it could happen, but **** me if our soldiers start wearing combat suits that are 3 times their size and still be able to sprint and hop over **** with one arm.. let alone equip chainsaws to their rifles).Anyway, all these games usually have an option to turn off the gore, if thats whats bothering you. But shooters arent getting out of hand.. they're getting developed with a more, uhm, open-minded, liberal, and tolerant approach :]
read my latest blog if u want my thoughts on what graphics have and can do to peoples minds
Shooters have become very entertaining (violence = good) but it seems like only shooters do well as far as ratings go and therefore get the attention, while other genres are just given the cold shoulder (fighters for instance)
They're not bloody enough, actually. I want more details and s**t! Like decapitations, face caved in, bullet exit wounds, broken limbs, more realistic screams of pain and cries for help. Gun shot wounds have to be more realistic as well, you get shot in the head you go down instantly, etc.Have a nice day! NEXT!
I think the TC is sqeamish
You think shooters are getting out of hand because they're too bloody and COD 5 is overrated? Pretty Convincing....There are a ton of shooters out there that are plain, its hard to innovate in the shooter genre, but there are still a lot of great looking shooters coming out.

this is realy simple..we like shooting people and blood..if u dont..dont play them
Something tells me that the OP doesn't know what overrated means.Shooters aren't getting out of hand at all. People love the bloody mess they create. You should probably never buy Bioshock or Dead Space, and many other bloody, gory, and over the top shooters if you think that the violence is becoming too intense.
i agree and tbh i would love more violance and sex in adult games..im over 18 if films have ity not games...ong gta i like seting hookers on fire..we all need a hobby >.>
Shooting games are great to me. I plan on buying Far Cry 2 and CoD WaW.

First of all, COD: World at War (that's what I assume you are talking about) isn't even out yet, so how is it over-rated? And even old-school shooters it does matter what gun you have, trying using the chainsaw in Doom like it's a rocket launcher, or visa-versa. Get back to me on how well that works.
