I felt it in Gears of War for PC, played a couple of hours, was so bad I sold it to my mate who had the 360 version.
Does anybody here feel they do the same thing in games over and over?

I usually choose games really well, I've had the odd stinker though, like forza 2 which I just couldn't get into, but then you discover a gem like condemned

I enjoyed Operation Winback on the N64 more then gears

Agreed, Halo 3,a right dissapointment

Condemned was a gem, best game on the 360, by far.

Ive been pretty bored with games for a good number of years, i put it down to age more than anything, and having seen everything a number of times.
I now more enjoy multiplayer sports games now, these offer something different for me. I also like novelty games, guitar hero, scene it, stuff that i might not play for months, but that can give a few good nights entertainment.
I have completely lost interest in FPS games, this happened around Half Life 2, while everyone was raving about it, i just felt it was extremely boring, and having tried the odd FPS over the past 3 of 4 years, nothing really grabbed me, i felt while stuff like COD2 and 3 looked lovely, i found the gameplay dull and generic. Possibly as a result of not playing many FPS games, i recently played and finished COD4 on the PC, and found it briliant, so perhaps a rest from the genre was needed.
I currently have Mass Effect sitting unplayed, Im keeping it for the xmas holidays so i can get my teeth stuck into it, im looking forward to playing it. I used to love driving games, but i find them extremely tedious now, the last one i enjoyed was project gotham 3 when the 360 came out, even gotham 4 didnt do anything for me.
About 15 minutes ago, I had a look through my 360 games to play, nothing grabbed me despite having quite a catalogue, I was enjoying Kane and Lynch until i got to a bit that I think was a bug, and resorted to going back to trusty sports games to get a bit of entertainment.

No you're thinking too little.
Games with strategy and freedom of play are what give a game repeated playability, you only have to look at how popular the GTA series is. Game studios should focus more on this, instead of putting new skins on old graphics engines ala COD4.
And anyway I'm confident there are better more innovative games on the horizon, take Battlefield Bad Company for example, it may be a first-person-shooter, but its sandbox and non-linear style of gameplay is what'll make it so great, online and offline.

Talking about the need for change with in game series' Resident evil was awesome, But when it changed with Resident evil 4, It was a much needed change and it gave the game a refreshing new edge. Problem is, It's hard to change a FPS. As you always have that fixed aspect. You can change what happens with in the world, With physics and other things such as improved water effects and AI, But you're always going to see it from that same aspect as said, So it's going to feel monotonous some of the time. That's the main reason I don't enjoy FPS games. Crysis, The game everyone is currently drooling about, I'm currently sat on a PC here with the game installed. And I don't feel compelled to play at all. Because I'd rather go home and play Mass effect. I find the FPS genre tired now, I've played most the 360 FPS games, And they no longer keep my attention. Although Vegas did like But that was a rare thing indeed.
But that was a rare thing indeed.I sometimes get bored, my main problem is I can't play a variety of games at once. Its either concentrate solidly on one game until it bores me to tears or dabble 15 minutes here, 20 minutes there and never really get into anything.
Actually, he's not. The market for the games he has described is absolutely huge, probably bigger than sandbox games. But I do agree with you as well, sandbox are also massively popular, which is another reason so many millions of people play MMORPGs, the freedom to explore another world without restrictions such as linear levels you'd find in a FPS.
Multiplayer has reinvigorated my love of games (Im 34), single player has only appealed to me just recently again (as i "feel" a bit of a nerd playing single player) - Multiplayer feels more socially acceptable?.
Maybe i am stuck with the same perception that society has-ie games are for people younger than 20?
