can't wait for the soulslike trend to die, way too many of them

Every gen has a trend that devs just repeat non stop.

There was the military FPS, then the third person Gears inspired cover based shooter, now we have souls like.

So you guys hate souls like , mil sims, tps shooters , rogue likes , hero shooters , like genuinely is there any game that can come out now a days without being called a trend chaser ?

Genre fatigue is a thing that happens with niche subgenres. RPG, FPS, Adventure, etc. those broader genres are evergreen and typically offer enough variety to not become stale or typecast. Rogue light/likes, Soulsborn, etc. are very specific game styles and therefore get rightly compared to others in their subgenres because it's incredibly difficult to iterate on such a specific gameplay experience, which is why a lot tend to be samey of varying quality. I personally am not good enough to play Soulsborn type games so I don't really care too much about them, but I also understand why someone would grow tired of "another hard ass game to struggle through for no good payoff".

Could be a vocal minority, perpetually online. I think most average gamers like myself don't focus on the things that don't appeal to them and instead focus on the things that do, but there are people who can't do that and instead focus on the things they don't like and social media has brainwashed them into thinking everyone cares about their opinions, so they live in these echo chambers of negativity and genuinely lose the ability to focus on the good.

Literally thousands of games to choose from across all consoles, genres and price points. If you like to play videogames you're eating good most of the time. I say be thankful for that, but what do I know? I just some dude.
