i have played shooters like uncharted before, and 1 time my friend let me borrow his copy of some call of duty game, it's not really the genre that i hate, it's just the fact that everyone drools over these games that are pretty much the same thing over and over again, and the game developers who just seem too lazy to create a game that really requires thinking and strategy, shooting is fine to me, it can be fun from time to time, but there are just so many that i'm afraid the entire gaming industry is just being taken over by the shooters genre, games with guns in them are different, take jak and daxter for example, yes it has a focus on guns, but it's bit different and you'd really have to play it to know what i'm talking about, and there are a bunch of platforming elements in the game that make it like fun platforming, mixed with a simple shooting mechanic, it's fun when you put variety into a genre, and not just repeat the same thing everyone else does in an attempt at appeal to fans, just look at ratchet and clank, they're getting milked like a cash cow because insomniac doesn't wanna leave they're mascot
