Basically have you ever played a game so good that it made others in the genre seem boring or stale?





I've been thinking about this because of the recent influx of some really good multiplayer FPS titles. Games like Titanfall 2, Battlefield 1 and Overwatch are all critically acclaimed and regarded as being fantastic multiplayer shooters. However, I've found myself thinking the same thing whilst playing each one: "I wish I was playing Halo 5". I can see that they're games I'd really enjoy if it weren't for the fact that I've already played H5. However, whilst playing I can't help but compare them to Halo, none of them give me that same level of satisfaction in getting a kill. Because of this Halo 5 has effectively ruined multiplayer FPS games for me, they all just feel boring in comparison. I've actually avoided picking up the newer titles because I know I'll just come back to Halo.



So I'm wondering, has anyone else experienced this feeling before and for what games/genres? What about that game made it so much better to you?





Bonus question: Has there been a game which has surpassed it?
