I've never understood the massive success of this game franchise. I understand the appeal and that many people find it fun, but it's just never been all that great, IMO. There are so many much better titles out there. I'm guessing it's early success plus huge advertising budget and/or paid-for reviews.

Yeah, I mean the graphics, story, and characters are nice.

But the gameplay is so boring when just about every enemy is a bullet sponge and they keep respawning every time you walk between 2 places.

Yup. The rapid respawn stinks of lazy level designs. Respawning can be OK when done right.
