What would you ask the Halo 3 ODST Developers?

"Why should one spend 60 dollars on a game that is similar to Snooze-fest 1,2 and Bore 1,2,3...? Where is the value?"

A: The value is in the pockets of the people who never played these sort of games before. The people who have played them are in the minority and it makes no economic sense to make games for the minority.

Note: I'm not saying that FPS by definition are all boring. Examples of great FPS experiences at the time of release: D 1&2, U 1 level 1, C (parts of). The problem with Snooze-fests and Bores are mainly that they did not have any levels/map/anything that excited me in any way. There's still room for a satisfying FPS but since doing one appears to be extremely difficult given this short list, I'd rather play something with enough of a fresh take such as ME/SS's more novel combat paired with the story that engaged player more actively. ME had quite a few boring hours but overall there was enough to differentiate it from the generic FPS that I'd still classify it as a great game instead of merely average like Snoofe-Fests and Bores.

I think my ideal "FPS" would actually be something like making AW (aka OOTW) today in AC style but in AW setting and putting in the ME combat style. But then again that would be more of a sci-fi action-adventure with ways to either shoot or otherwise accomplish the goal. So not really a pure FPS. But definitely not an "F" either. I don't care about micromanaging assets/stats/team.
