that's kinda the point lol. complexity makes games a helluva lot more interesting and adds replay value.

this is overgeneralizing but if you've seen one fps you've seen them all. the graphics keep improving and there are minor gameplay elements, but because twitch reactions are so important you're basically playing whackamole in 3d
