Why do people hate FPS's so much?

Honestly they aren't my favorite Genre( I own the first Halo and the Orange Box and that's it) but why are some gamers panicking now. Crying "Oh SHOOTERS ARE TAKING OVER!" I will say yeah, they are popular right now but they won't be forever. Look at every other once popular genre before everyone got tired of them, like fighting games, platformers, and action they all fell off, they still have a presence in gaming today but all of these were once leading genres in the industry that feel of because they became overkill and started to lack in originality. So like I said, yeah FPS's may be having they're day now, but they won't for long.

And for the record I have no problem with guns and violence in gaming TPS's(3rd Person shooters) are still my favorite genre.

because they need to use innovation, they need more focus on what the Wii can do with FPS, ps3 and 360 cant innovate FPS anymoreDjCristii

I don't mind a good FPS if it has a good story. Sadly, most do not.

that's sad no wii game even beat's xbox original launch title halo combat evolved's graphics.

I don't hate FPS; I enjoyed Doom back when it came out, as well as great ones like Goldeneye and Half-Life.

What I don't like is the way most developers view the FPS (or shooters in general really) formula: Mediocre single player with some ill-contrived excuse for a storyline lasting anywhere from 4-8 hours (though quite frankly the latter is an extremity, and seems a rarity) and an (over)emphasis on the multiplayer component. I know online console gaming is the big "It" thing this gen, but it gets annoying when I can count the big single-player focused shooters on one hand (Bioshock probably being the best example) and see the numerous shooters where the multiplayer is the focus, while the single player is almost seen as a tutorial with cutscenes.

So I suppose my beef is not with FPS; they are the unfortunate poster child for overemphasizing online play.

lol original xbox has better graphics than wii.

think most people like FPS games tbh, theyre always selling well.

There is a minority that dislike the games because theyre too "simplistic" for them and perhaps they dislike the focus on violence (I think the FPS genre is the most focused on killing people, altho not by much)

to be honest FPS games can be REALLY diverse, so I have no problem with the genre.

I do enjoy a good few hours on a FPS but its sad when a developer releases a new FPS and they've spent years making it and in the end its a fun game but its like all the other FPS's on the market and you think that developer could of spent that time creating something, well, different?

you can tell the conduits graphics arent even close to halo combat evolved from 2001, the quality isnt there.

plus the wii's graphics card lacks something most modern graphics card have and it's important in making graphics look good and that's why wii games look like crap, i forgot the of the part wii's gpu hollywood lacks but ill google it.

xbox's gpu has it.

lol there's people trying to port unreal engine 3 on the wii, that crap isnt gonna happen by the time they get it ported it wont be unreal engine 3 .

Oh my, a fanboys encounter.

fps are basically only games i play but there's a lack of good ones currently out some good classics, but im done with them i want some new good ones i could consider classics there's none though lol.

I enjoy a nice FPS here and there, but I'll always be a RPG gamer at heart.siLVURcross

lol halo pc shot 640x480 res comparable to xbox well xbox actually looked better

lol still owns wii

FPS is my favorite genre, so I can't relate to the haters.

Because they like being different. Some generally find the genre boring, some are just bandwagoning.

It's just the JRPG crazies. They feel the market is over run with FPS now when it use to be over run by quality JRPGs. -Master_St3ve-

People are just sick of companies pumping out so many of them these days. Lots of newer gamers seem to only care about graphics, shooters, and online multiplayer.

It all comes down to lemmings hating them now for the most part cause we PS3 users got 2 dandy fps's in the past 3-4 months. Its not that they don't like them, its just that their not on the 360.

Heck, don't beleive wait til Halo odst comes out and see how much they like them. The 360's core audience is fps players. Don't let them fool any of you into thinking they are just loving all of these Jrpg's their getting. Cause they are most definitly having withdrawls from not having a great fps. And if their not they are just playing Halo or Cod4 lol. And most played games on xbL shows this. Why isn't it one or 2 of those rpg's on that list. Think everything is fps for the exception of Geow.

They're all just rip offs of one another. 2 or 3 FPS have set the standard for online and everyone else is just trying to follow. Not to mention decent SP campaigns are pretty much dead because of MP. It is a very noticable trend as well, FPS SP got increasingly worse at an alarming rate on consoles starting last gen.

lol original xbox has better graphics than wii.

Because hating on something thats popular is cool.

FPS are very common. People just get bored of the same old thing again and again.
