[QUOTE="goblaa"]Well that's a load of crap. Hell, the less FPS's the better these days. We're swamped with them.stephant_6

I admit that we get tons of FPSs. That's true, but we need more... quality ones, like Call of Duty 4 or Halo 3. I could never get into Half Life 2.

I also wouldn't mind another game along the lines of GEARS OF WAR 2!

Sorry that cracked me up. It's people like you who are the reason FPS's like Halo 3 and CoD4 are showered with praise. There's a reason Valve is the most respected FPS developer out there,they make the best,most innovative FPS's. Every year that a Valve game comes out,all other shooters pale in comparison.

Then why is there more wordly praise for Halo and Call of Duty?

I asked my friends, and honest to God, none of them even knew what Half Life was. Guess how many knew what Halo or Call of Duty was?

strategy is not automatically bad, boring, slow, or unrewarding. you just don't look for strategy, and that's fine. but other people do get satisfaction and have fun by thinking around problems and outsmarting challengers.

But I've never found a strategy game that isn't automatically bad, boring, slow, or unrewarding. Give me some intense, fast paced action.

Listen, I don't mean to offend people when I say this, but...

You guys think you are hardcore because you play these extremely slow paced JRPGs or crappy stealth games with incredibly complicated sotrylines that everyone pretends to understand so they can seem smart.

Right.

First person shooters is your favorite genre. Sure, people are different, but most people would rather have ice cream over a bucket of poop, right? First person shooters is the ice cream, while every other genre is the poop. Deep down inside, you know you love first person shooters more than any genre out there. You guys just try to act hardocre by pretending that you like these crazy Japanese anime crap. No, those types of games don't really pick up speed until the mid-way point, and by then, nothing makes sense. Throw in extremely cheesy dialogue and you have yourself a winner.

Now, I'm not just going to post this with baseless claims. I'll give you some reasons why my favorite genre is first person shooters, and why your favorite genre is first person shooters:

RTS: Strategizing isn't fun. You are constantly thinking of what to do next. In FPSs, you get a gun, and you know what to do with it. Occasionally, you duck and cover, but that's where the strategy ends. A game with strategy in mind just isn't much fun at all. I don't play games to think. I play games to beat the crap out of other people.(1)

JRPGs: Long drawn out storylines with extremely slow paced game play.

Fighters: Memorize button combos. That's the game right there.(2)

Platformers: Were only fun back in the day when FPSs sucked. Frustrating to the max and lacking any sort of purpose aside from running around aimlessly wondering what to do next.

I could go on, but you get the point. FPSs, and a few other genres (action adventure), I feel, is the only established genre that is fun. I'd take Turning Point over Super Mario Galaxy every day. The latter is just too kiddy with boring game play. On top of that, it's too easy. Turning Point sucks, but at least I can, you know, actually enjoy what I'm doing.

So in the end, FPSs are hella fun. You can pretend you like exploring and solving puzzles, but it's time to admit it: Zelda sucks. Metal Gear Solid sucks. Final Fantasy sucks. Call of Duty 4... is legendary.

I don't like Japanese anime pansies. Not trying to offend anyone here, but I don't dig the style of Japanese cartoons.

Also, guns>swords.

At least in FPS's you aren't mindlessly tapping buttons in an attempt to win at... tapping buttons the fastest. :|

Wow, you are soooooo open minded :lol:mccoyca112

I like Guitar Hero and DDR, or any other game with an interesting control scheme.

It's just most games screw up in so many areas that it's hard to forgive it. JRPGs can be so much better if they just got rid of some of the garbage. At least make the protaganist a man instead of a pansy.

Well that's a load of crap. Hell, the less FPS's the better these days. We're swamped with them.goblaa
