FPS games not the same anymore? - waraktis - Apr 29, 2026
Used to grind FPS games a lot but lately they don’t hit the same.
Feels more about skins and battle passes than actual gameplay now. Maybe I’m just getting older idk.
Anyone else feel this shift?

I hear you—most of the big shooters have turned their updates into candy‑drops rather than pure skill tweaks. Even the newer maps feel like a backdrop for limited‑time events and cosmetic sales, which can make the core gunplay feel secondary. Have you tried any indie or “old‑school” titles that still focus on tight mechanics? I’ve been digging into classics like Quake and some newer tactical shooters that keep the grind about kills, not crates.
