About a week ago, I started a thread & some thought I was hatin' on FPS games. I probably never mentioned before that I own FPS's. I have way too many games, but never play them. I gave Resistance some play, Halo 2, Hitman 2, & Call Of Duty 3. I must now admit that, I can easily see for myself why this genre is so popular nowadays. The stories and the games themselves overall, were great. I think it's better for me to say that I just don't like the first person camera view. I can only imagine what those games would be like in third person. I wish developers would add a camera view option (ie. Hitman series). Maybe I'm being greedy! Lol Lol. But seriously though, an optional 3rd Person View would be a great way to introduce these good games to a broader audience, that otherwise wouldn't play them because we dislike the 1st nperson view. BTW, the 4 games above, I really enjoyed them all. IMO Resistance was the most impressive. (I've had M$ 1st console since 2003...got 15 games that I hardly ever played. I hope that justified Hitman 2 & Halo 2 being mentioned.)

I thought you were going to say they are all the same. Which most of them are.

not even so much as them all being alike. I don't feel they're all the same anymore, the story lines are good. I just dont dig the camera views

Yeah, it does get kinda old after awhile. That's the problem with launch titles though, 95% are FPS'ers cause it just seems to be the more easier common port. I mean the games I have now are FPS'ers on my PS3 (RFOM, COD3 and *sorta* Oblivion) That's why I can't wait to get some other types of games into the mix so then I can enjoy it more when I want to play one after awhile, and don't "FPS Overkill myself". Cause then it would get to the point of "bleh, I'm selling this game" lol
