You obviously haven't played Pokemon Battle Revolution

(Sarcasm)

TekkenMaster606

Warhawk. Unreal Tournament 3. Halo 3.

Do you see the common bond between those 3 games? They're all shooters. Shooters featuring people blowing each other up and creating buckets of gibs. Pokemon is nowhere along those lines.

And I see what you did there. :lol:

Well if you want to play the "OMG Shooting people is wrong" card you should remember that pokemon features animal cruelty by forcing animals to fight until one of them is injured. Also it features the enslavment of pokemon to serve the players goals.

I call it hard to classify. It has elements of fighting games but at the same time is vastly different. My friend can beat me at SSBM with all his Wave dashing and stuff I never learned how to do but in other games like Mortal Kombat, Soul Caliburor Capcom vs SNK I completly destroy him and he doesn't win a single round. I think it would be classified as a fighting game but only because there is currently no better term to classify it.

If you think it is a party brawler chances are you keep items on. Without items it takes a lot more skill.

[QUOTE="peacebringer"]You have to step back lemming and think for a sec, don't let your Green blood and Pocket protector get the best of your judgement, the 360 is getting really stupid. every game they announce regardless of score is getting very Obvious, looks at Bioshock, it's a FPS, look at Mass Effect it's a rpg with gun and the combat is really fast and GEOW like. are 360 fans happy with so many FPS? if you look at the books you see everyone saying oh Graw 2is beter on 360, Bioshock isn't on PS3, R6V better on 360, um can i please ask game developers when they plan on putting 40 million dollars on a project that is breakthru(real breakthru not Bioshock we took FPS added depth breakthru) i wanna see something i didn't see last gen, and frankly i havn't seen that from any dev "yet". this next gen sucks. only gamers new to gaming can appreciate this gen, cause vet player are probally pulling there hairs out. BTW not only did we have to hear about Bioshock for months here another hyped mess coming along, farcry 2 will rule these forums for another few months till it's out. does everyone only play FPS now?peacebringer

No you call it an FPS. You never use the word shooter only the abreviation First Person Shooter. I would have expected you to look at your post before saying you didn't call it an FPS.

Wow um if you had change FPS to just shooter it would be correct but you didn't. That was my whole point from the start and if you are saying that you never directly called GEOW an FPS it's true but you did compare it to Mass effect and then said "are 360 fans happy with so many FPS?". So far up until the point when you say this the only games you mentioned are Bioshock, Mass Effect and GEOW. Mass Effect and GEOW aren't FPS.

[QUOTE="Lemmywinks_360"]Here's why devs make fps's. People like them. It's a very popular genre to make games for. Why don't you see many point and click games? Because not many people like that genre. And btw 360 only has 17% shooter.bad82man82

I don't think people like FPS, they are forced to like/play them,cuz developers are seeing how much sales GeOW or Halo3 will get, they go after the money, it is just xbox 360 fans like them, they did force the developers to make FPS, so the gamers are forced to play them , there is no much choices for them, when I go to the retail,I don't see variaty nowadays, all the good games are FPSs, if you see my other posts, I did make a lot of points about FPS is not the best genre, one of them is , I always/still thik that FPS is for worst developers to make money, and why is that?

1- you will never work so hard for a story, who needs to read/watch in FPS, you want to shoot.

2- Because you only want to shoot, enviroments doesn't matter( they are improving, but for me, they suck at design yet)

3- There is no innovation ( the only creation they did is to take cover)

4- You will never work so hard for character design, you are in first view, the only thing you will see is a gun( and don't tell me AI/enemy designare great, please all FPS looks the same in everything, that' why it is the easiest thing a developer can do)

5- "Look at Halo sales, it is an FPS and this is the sales figures, let's do FPS" dev. talking, the only thing that made Halo sales like this, cuz it is the most hyped game from lemmings to be in competetion, cuz they only have this game, when 360 came before PS3, this was MS chance to make FPS matter.

The game that got me into games was Doom. I own it in 4 formats and have beaten it countless times.

1. It has no story except you are on mars and have to kill daemons.

2. The enviroments don't matter and largely don't change.

3. Doom was innovative for it's time but I didn't play it for years after its release when games like unreal were out so in that context it was not as innovative for me personaly.

4. No character design. He doesn't even have a name.

5. Continues to sell and has is on steam, Xbox live arcade or ordered from the Id website.

If people are forced to like FPS why did this game sell so much and is still selling?
