By virtue of them selling the best, they ARE generic shooters. It’s just that the definition moves with them.
Comment on The best-selling video game of each year since 1993
Izzy@lemmy.world 10 months agoI was thinking the same thing. I’ve never played a single one or even seen gameplay footage of them. Who is playing these games? I assumed they were just generic shooters.

I mean they are, but they also kinda defined what a generic shooter is today, I haven’t picked one up in ages because I hate multiplayer these days, had a lot of fun playing them up until Black Ops. Kinda got stale for me after that

Sure, but they’re the generic shooter. And it had a big resurgence during COVID with everyone and their mothers playing Warzone. I hadn’t touched CoD since MW3 in like 2012 and I put so many hours into the 2019 Modern Warfare game with Warzone.

I haven’t touched CoD since the Medal of Honor team made Call of Duty.
