Am I the only one here who hates First-Person Shooters (FPS)?

Finally, someone who's with me. Hehehe.

I also can't seem to get into FPS. No matter what FPS game I try, they just.....suck.

well i dont HATE it, but it is my least favorite Genre

i dont hate it...

but theres wayyyy too much this gen

I am not fond of fps either.

I don't "hate" them. But they do grow old and stale. Especially when FPS games are all you seem to see and they don't last very long. They only seem to be good at first. If you don't like it, you don't like. That's it. I can't get into Zelda games for the life of me. I've even tried (only when extremely bored and nothing else to play at the moment). I've never liked Zelda since the NES days and I've pretty much played them all for maybe 5 minutes lol

I dont hate them i just hate the fact there so many this Gen. The problem is that FPS are way to generic. Its hard to tell wats different about halo and Killzone . seriously your doing the same thing in both those games; shooting things...yea it gets stale very quick(and they say RPG's are generic pfft lol) thats why im only going to stick with games like COD and halo and not waste my money on anything else.

i guess its what you like in a game, i personally like FPSs...

Yeah, don't like fps's either. Everyone basically said what I was going to say.

Seriously, no matter what I can never like them, I tried Halo on my brother's Xbox 360, tried out Killzone 2, Call of Duty.. and I still absolute cannot stand them AT ALL. The last and only first shooters game was probably Golden Eye 007 on N64. I just hope I'm not the only one, especially since all the recent hype has been over FPS. I mean come on, let's hope that's not the future of PS3 games.. EDIT: Okay maybe "hate" is too strong. What I meant was really, really dislike, or, simply, cannot stand at all. yazter

i dont 'hate' them, but i am not a big fan, i like some of them here and there, but for the most part it just is not my cup of tea...... but i think folks like us are definitely in the minority.............

I don't like them either. I've given all the big ones a try, and while I can see the quality in games like Killzone 2 and COD4, I can never really get into them.

Seriously! I love FPS games.

Its my favorite genre

I used to hate FPS...but when i entered the PS3 Gen..I saw them with shiny upgraded graphics and I saw Resistance...It attracted me...thats how i love FPS games lol

I HATE! them from the Bottom of my heart and Iam starting to hate Sony cuz they are focusing on this lame genre alot.

Not everybody has to like a game because it's name is known. I don't want KZ2 either.

I do not technically "Hate" FPS Games. I just want FPS games that have more variety you know.. Not just go from point A to point B completing objectives and just shooting. That gets really dull after a while.nobodylive

i like the genre a lot, but i'm a very harsh critic of the actual fps games. As a result, i only have a few FPS games that i spend my time on; but those are the select few fps games i love. Even after saying that, i realize that the FPS is a saturated genre, and i do wish that this trend will slowdown in the near future. This is an era where the devs' general idea is that any fps, regardless of technical quality or enjoyability, will sell as long as there's demand; maybe there isn't even any demand to begin with, but they push their games anyway, hoping, to what is seemingly, a quick buck.

hmph, before i get sidetracked any further, i'm sure you're not the only one who dislikes fps games, TC; however, i think that if an fps is done right, mindless or not, it could be very enjoyable.

but, i like you, do not want this gen to be the "FPS gen," even though, it is probably a little too late for wishful thinking...

There are just some genres that we don't like no matter how popular they are. Take RPG's for example; a lot of people are crazy over them but it's my least favorite genre.

I grew up as a Quake 2/3 and UT99 player so those skillful FPS are my favorite of the genre. My favorite genre is action/adventure and 3D platformers however. These games seem to never get old.

I like an occasional FPS But what I don't like is the fact that there are so many of them and they aRE ALMOST ALL THE SAME (POINT AND SHOOT) C'mon?!

Its my favorite genre

Okay perhaps I went overboard in terms of generalization, and I do stand corrected, but in all honestly I look at my friends online on my PS3 list and they're mostly playing a FPS.. yazter

So what? To each their own! You don't have to like the genre. The world is big enough for those who don't like shooters and those who love them (like me).

yes...

To answer your question, yes, yes you are.

Yeah you're alone. I love them. What I hate are racing "simulators" like Gran Turismo. But I do hate crappy shooters...

as a matter of fact, i myself hated fps at a certain time in my life, but i learned to get used to the fact that it is a completely different and whole genre in gaming, so hating fps is like hating platformers or rpgs, so the way i see it is... "if you don't like the genre, just don't play it and stop complaining"

now that i have actually played them, i like some them, like far cry 2, bioshock, half life 2 one of my favorites, LMAO now that i thik of it, 85% of the games i own are fps lol

I actually kind of hate them some while ago, in fact, the past gen, the only FPS that i touch, it was Time Splitter 2 on the GC, and only for the multiplayer, i also play (and love) Metroid Prime, but is not really a FPS, anyway, this gen i've been playing more and more FPS thanks to the great Orange Box and Crysis, i still dont like them, but i dont hate them, in fact, if the game is good (Portal, Half Life) i'll play them happy.
