Fairly sure I've given up.
That statement reminds me of how pretty much every genre is almost the same.

FPS? Shoot things. Shoot more things.
RPG? Grind, do quest. Rinse and Repeat.
Race? Drive woman, DRIVE. (Or fly or sail or you get my drift.)
Strategy? Build buildings, build units, overpower enemy, win.
TPS? Shoot things. Shoot more things while making some stunt like jumping off the wall and/or climbing through things.
Puzzle? Gain points, gain more points, win at life.
Adventure? Do quest, do more quest, (get points if needed) do even more quest.
Platformer? Jump, climb, duck, slide, shoot/slash, jump climb duck slide attack jumpclimbduckslideattackAND RUN DAMMIT.

What haven't I covered?

Oh right. Simulation? Eh, nobody likes perfect simulation games and the ones that are slightly under are like 'act out real life cause you're a loser outside the game', or something similar.


So yeah. At least games are fun. :)

yo dude, those generalizations are moslty completely false, you can go into far more detail on games than that. After all, bioshock and CoD are NOTHING alike. AT ALL.
but when you look at the details of every single CoD game...

Yes, TURNED ON, wise pick of words there, girlie.
I'm hyped as well tbh, it looks great.
*Link NSFW!* It seems a bit... weird IMO. I don't know how people I know IRL would reply to me buying it. Not that it would change anything, really

And that would be what makes games different from each other, even games such as CoD1 and CoD2, which not only used the same engine but also mostly the same textures and weapons. WHOOP.

If we take NONE of the details, then pretty much EVERY GAME follows my list of generalization.

It's the bleeding details that make the difference~


Bioshock is ALSO shooting at people, just like CoD. Except CoD is a game in the 2nd world war, where you are a soldier who fights agianst the nazi's in a world war two setting, and Bioshock is an underwater city where you have "mysterious" powers and fight against humans that have changed their body so much they've gone insane.

And that's just the top layer of both games. No details there just yet, and already they are different.

I'm not even going to try and argue this with you.
