It has completely corrupted and oversimplified the fps/tps format while ensuring the industry does nothing but spin it's wheels.
It's truuuuue. Never been a Madden fan, but FIFA 10 with 2 or 4 players is solid gold. Trouble is though, whatever genre anyone picks to say, there's gonna be people who really enjoy those games...SimuLord said:Mumorpugers. Then I would find all the players, zap their brains, and make them into rabid Madden fans. All those of you who want to whack sports games...I want to shove you into lockers.
Well that's true the originality in both those games is amazing and they are very fun. But I still play call of duty 4 because the mechanics are great and the multiplayer is amazing. It's a given that there are a lot of shitty games in all genres, but fps' like halo and cod are still great.Ubermetalhed said:In your opinion they are, in my mind however the good FPS games have gone.I'd take games like Bayonetta or Okami over COD or Halo anyday.cocoadog said:And yet they are still more fun than every other genre of games.Ubermetalhed said:FPS. Oh please let FPS die, the good games have all gone and now we are left with shit franchises focused upon online play and full of bitchy toddlers.
Besides theres only so many ways you can shoot someone you know.
This tells me two things - either you suck at playing first person shooters, or you've only played insipid Halo knockoffs. Or both. Most likely both.Lightslei said:FPS's.
I like turn based combat if it's done well and requires you to actually be intuitive and think the strategy through fully, not the mindless HOLD X FOR ATTACK AND WIPE FLOOR WITH EVERYTHING.
FPS's just because it'd be nice to see people try to use their imagination more then COD7012 and Halo4251

Come on, which idiot will stand there and willingly let another person hit him.
It's like slowed down combat so you can use strategy if necessary and watch every move play out instead of a battle happening too fast to either plan or watch.
And that tells me you're a Halo fanboy. See, it's easy to generalize when you don't know someone ^_^.Arcanist said:This tells me two things - either you suck at playing first person shooters, or you've only played insipid Halo knockoffs. Or both. Most likely both.Lightslei said:FPS's.

More on topic, I'd get rid of turn based combat. It's just... so... fucking... boring. Don't give me any of that shit about having to 'think through strategies', because creating strategies are only fun if there's some quick pacing to back it up.
