MGS4 is a stealth game, although i consider it an action game... a real stealth series is Thief. rpg9000owner

I dont consider it a stealth game either, although it's commonly called one.

What the hell are you talking about?! My reply was in response to a post by kcpp2b. I fail to see how he or the TC are being sarcastic. I'm British, we invented sarcasm:P If you think this is sarcasm then I'm afraid you've been using it wrong all these years.

It is a type of sarcasm, it's referencing sony fan's bashing of Mass Effect being "just another shooter." It's a cynical reinterpretation of that logic, I can see how it's sarcasm.

Sarcasm: A form of wit that is marked by the use of sarcastic language and is intended to make its victim the butt of contempt or ridicule

We are showing our contempt and ridicule of cows. We are using their own logic to ridicule them. By using their own logic, it could seem to be a sort of praise, for we are adopting something of theirs. In reality though, it is a form of derision. That also fits another definition of sarcasm that I found on Dictionary.com

Sarcasm:

A form of irony in which apparent praise conceals another, scornful meaning. For example, a sarcastic remark directed at a person who consistently arrives fifteen minutes late for appointments might be, "Oh, you've arrived exactly on time!"

Overall, sarcasm may not have been the best choice of words, but you get the point. Those of us calling FFXIII a shooter are not serious. The people on the list couldn't tell that, although those of us who were mocking cows were making it quite obvious.

Edit: Anyone else having spaces deleted from their posts once they clicksubmit?

Edit 2: I took your name off of the list. I do think that kcpp2b is the one person who really thinks what he posted is true. He just put a little too much effort into making that post (unneccesarily long for mocking cow logic IMO).

[QUOTE="duncanvk"][QUOTE="flashattackfina"]FFXIII is RPG Failduncanvk

NO IT'S A SHOOTER IT HAS GUNS! So does Mass effect and bioshock so they must be shooters too! :o

Do you actually think that your post made sense? Because it really didn't. Bioshock is a shooter with RPG dressing. Mass Effect, it has yet to be determined if it is a shooter with roleplaying elements, or an rpg with shooting elements. I'll tell you right now, FF XIII is not a shooter at all, it's a JRPG, pure.

*sigh*

*slams head against keyboard over and over again*

:lol:

That list is hilarious, you might want to throw this guy on it. :roll:

Done!

$5 says that half the people will still argue with you!

The disclaimer is probably for the best though, it's just so incredibly sad that it was necessary.

While it has guns, Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction is not a shooter per se.

All right guys...to wrap this all up. For those of you who haven't seen the new disclaimer in my Original Post (thanks Casey), this was a Joke Thread. I was using cow logic by calling MGS4 a shooter, when it is technically a stealth action game with shooting elements.

Any game with a gun =/= shooter...which is why Mass Effect, Super Smash Bros, Final Fantasy XIII, and many others are not considered shooters.

For Wii, I think one of the Big 3 is a Sci-Fi FPS as well.

Well I assume the point of the this thread was to get cows to stop calling every 360 game a shooter. I guess it worked.

DISCLAIMER: cow logic being used here...any game involving a gun is a shooter

Cows make fun of the 360 for having way too many shooters...but wait...

isnt the top selling PS3 game (Resistance) a shooter?!?!?!?!

aren't the two most hyped PS3 games (MGS4 and Killzone 2) SHOOTERS?!?!?!

hockeyruler12

No. The most hyped PS3 games are GT and GTAIV (even though it is multiplat). Those 2 have ALWAYS sold the best on Sony consoles.
