Waddup peeps,

Long story short, I was an academic throughout high school and varsity, so I missed out on everything after Need For Speed: Underground 2 as a PC gamer before high school. I couldn't afford too many games, so I just used the PC for a variety of illicit acts (from which I've since retired).

I'm trying to complete the 7th Generation before firing up my PS4 or beginning gaming on my editing/programming PC.

This year, I've been completing a game per month (list is below the post)

My issue currently is that all the games that are objectively appreciated by everyone are kind of "meh" to me (ie: inFamous, Last Of Us, Uncharted) and I think it may be because these are all RPGS? And feel like "playing through a movie" - and I usually hate watching TV.

I LOVED Gears of War (completed all three), LOVED Call Of Duty, and I dig Halo. The stealth stuff like Splinter Cells are a bit too slow-paced for me. Also, what do you mean "open world"?? I need beginning and end lol.

Can you guys help me pick out some more games that are more "my style"?

(ChatGPT just goes according to "best-selling" type lists that don't really serve a contrarian like myself lol)
