fps preferences

since the arival of conduit threads i've seen alot of trash talking halo and alot of praising goldeneye and perfect dark. this makes me curious as to what the average nintendo fan considers a great shooter.

i'm a hardcore nintendo fanboy but i'd have to give goldeneye somthing between an 8 and a 9

my favorite FPSes are

1. Call of Duty 4

2. Halo 2

Sci-fi with regeneration, looking for health packs or their equivalent is crap.

I don't really care if the FPS is a sci-fi or realistic game.

As far as regenerating health is concerned, I want it to be similar to that of MOH Airborne and FarCry 2.

The health bar is split into 4 or 5 seperate pieces, when you take significant damage, you health will regenerate, but only to the end of one of the 4 or 5 pieces of the health bar.

This will not make games too easy by being able to just sit in a corner and gain full health, but at the same time you are not in a condition that your health is so low that something can kill you by simply breathing on you.

Halo one did it the best. my favorite fps maybe even game. The combination of health packs and regenerating sheild was great. Overall though i dont care if its realistic or sci fi as long as its good and fun.

There is no such thing as realistic regenerative health.clicketyclick

I prefer unrealistic games in general. My favorite multiplayer game currently in TF2 as it is very different from most FPS games. I also prefer class-based multiplayer games more than others because i love how they have their own unique stats. If the Wii ever gets a class-based multiplayer game i would gladly purchase it. Also i dislike regenerative health but i like how TF2 has multiple ways of getting your health back. Health kits, medics , dispensers, and your base.

Generally, I think all those "Y DUN U GO OUT AND DO ....... IN REAL LIFE? LOL" comments are annoying but, frankly, once you reach a point when you want absolutely everything about a video game to be completely realistic, it's time to stop playing video games and try paintball. Video games MUST have some unrealistic elements. That's their thing!

I also love Team Fortress 2 like you said. I find class built games really fun like TF2 and the Battlefront Games. You just reminded me that i need to buy the Orange Box soon because im missing TF2 too much.

I like shooters set in modern days. That's why I loved Red Steel so much.

No doubt regenerative health, prefer Sci-Fi.

I definitely prefer realistic over sci-fi. I prefer real weapons. As far as health, my favorite system was health packs, when the only way to pick them up was to kill someone and run over their body. I'd even be fine with an automatic health increase take place when you kill someone. My favorite FPS was one where health packs would recover 50% of your total health.

As far as to why: I'm usually good at getting a glimpse at someone as they pass by and getting a few shots off. If I hit someone, I want to knowthat they are still feeling it and thatI've helped contribute to the team.It forces players to use more tactics and be more carefulthan if a person can get shot to 1% health, run around the corner, and then be perfectly fine.

[QUOTE="clicketyclick"][QUOTE="AlexSays"] Exactly. lol Sure if you get shot you won't magically recover in 3-4 seconds but if you stub your toe you'll feel fine the next morning.craigalan23

Yeah you'll just need a little more sleep than usual.

Seeing as how Halo is my favorite gaming series of all time, I'd have to vote for sci-fi/regenerating health. But I enjoy stuff like Half-Life, Call of Duty, Left 4 Dead, Rainbow Six, Doom, FEAR, etc and they're all varying degrees of awesome.

I however, did enjoy Goldeneye on the N64, but Halo is a much better and far more significant game than either Goldeneye or Perfect Dark. I never rebooted Goldeneye to play it, but I've played through Halo 1's campaign 20 some times either alone or co-op and still play it on occasion today.

I haven't really played a good FPS on a Nintendo console since Perfect Dark. I do not consider Metroid Prime an FPS, it's more of an adventure game to me, and while it is one of the best game I've ever played, I just don't count it as an FPS. Still, I hope the Conduit is good. Almost every game I have for my Wii is awesome, I just don't have very many games on my Wii (as opposed to my 360), but I really hope that the Conduit is good, the Wii needs a good FPS, and while some people may say Metroid Prime, I've never really considered it an FPS.

I was a big fan of goldeneye and perfect dark on 64 cause they felt good to play, the controls and stuff. There needs to be more pistols and accuracy weapons I think there is too much machine gun spraying that requires less skill. Also there needs to be blood and a feeling of hitting someone, goldeneye had blood and it wasn't over the top and when you shot someone there was more of a feeling they were hit, compared to quantum of solace on wii there is not sense of hitting someone with the spray of bullets

Definately Realistic and regenerative Health

There is no such thing as realistic regenerative health.clicketyclick

I generally like more sci fi style shooters (Timesplitters is my favorite). I prefer health packs though because it somewhat forces you to explore other areas of levels that you would normally ignore. Also I'm impatient so standing there waiting for health to regenerate drives me crazy.

Anything with nonregenerative health.

I like both realistic and sci-fi FPS games, but I slightly prefer sci-fi because of the futuristic weapons, vehicles, and levels. As far as health goes, I prefer regeneration, as long as it's not too fast, rather than hunting for power ups.

I like realistic more than sci-fi, but I don't have a preference between regeneration/non-regenereation

I don't really like FPS's much, but I would go with Sci-Fi, non-regen.
