Modern FPS Games Are Doing Too Much...

I just played Wardogs after seeing so much hype about it on social media, and I gotta be honest, modern FPS games are exhausting. After an hour of randomly dying again and again, buying guns and gear again and again, and taking helicopter rides again and again, Wardogs is exhausting, and ultimately I'm just going to keep playing the tried and true older Call of Duty, Halo, Gears, and Battlefield games.

FPS games peaked between 2004-2016 imho. Modern FPS games just cannot hold my attention. Everything is trying to go for realism and immersion nowadays, whereas back in the day it was just about making a fun experience. I simply don't care if my choice in weapons and gear have risks. When you make that a mechanic of FPS games, you've lost the plot. Most people just want to pick a gun and run around and kill people. If I have to spend more time in menus than playing the game, you've lost the plot. Like, I'm sorry but you will never be able to convince me that modern FPS games have evolved in a forward way compared to older games. Modern FPS games are just too complicated. Less is more. Simple is better. I don't want a million attachments and weapons and gear items.

Edit: I should add this is in reference to FPS MP/PvP games, but kinda applies to FPS SP games as well; like, I genuinely would rather replay the older Call of Duty, Halo, Gears, and Battlefield campaigns than play whatever the fuck some of these newer games are.
