Thats what happened to me in 2006 and then Dreamfall, Indigo Prophecy, and Beyond Good and Evil helped slowly turn my focus from FPS to more adventure gameplay. I guess you could throw in Blade Runner too because that was the only adventure game I played in the 90s (i didn't even realize it was an adventure game at the time).

I cant deny the appeal of all three of those titles i listed being games in 3D and comparable to other genres at the time of release. But as someone that was an avid halo gamer I would trade in one hundred halo type titles just to have dreamfall chapters or anything TLJ related.

But Im a rare type of gamer so I do see it being somewhat wishful thinking to see an adventure game trend coming any time soon from fps gamers. It was a 2 year transition period before I really started to play adventure games so It most likely wont happen over night.
