GTA, Mass Effect, Dead Space, Tomb Raider, RE 5 & 6, etc).

I basically agree. I don't like most modern 1st person shooters since I feel like they're just the same use-the-iron-sight-and-go-for-headshots thing over and over again. A few of the more recent Halo games being the exception. ODST, Reach and 4 were pretty fun and involved way more on the spot improvisation and weapon switching than 1st person shooters usually do.
I like more 3rd person shooters, like Vanquish, Hunted, Fuse, some of the gears of war games... I know they're still just shooting, but there's a bit more variety to the gameplay in the best of them. I like Saint's Row too if they count. With Tomb Raider, I confess to preferring the games before the 2013 reboot of the series.
