Do you hate first person shooters?

I would like to see game reviews that consider the fact that some people absolutely can't tolerate specific types of games. For example, I hate seeing Nascar games reviewed by people who spend half the review making fun of oval tracks and left turns.

On the other hand, people have the right to hate Nascar, hate sports games, etc.

I think that there is a silent majority of people who hate first person shooters but are afraid to say so. Anyone want to stick their neck out on this one?

If it wasn't for First Person Shooters I won't be here @ this forum.......

My Favorite Games were:-

1.Call Of Duty 4 Modern Warfare (Most Favorite)

2.Crysis

3.Half-Life 2,All Episodes,Portal

5.Quake 4,Doom 3

I don't hate first-person shooters, but I hate the high pedestal we've all put the genre on. It's sad to see that first-person shooters are being put ahead of platformers and adventure games.

I do enjoy Metroid, CoD4, and even Halo's multiplayer occasionally, but I would rather play a variety of games instead of the same-old shoot-and-kill games we hype today.

I don't exactly hate FPS games, but this genre is definitely the most disliked one in my books.

I can have games with swords and magic to slash and blow up people. But not guns and knives. Comes way too close to today's world's violence that I so despise.

Anyone who hates Half-Life 2 probably also hates snow on Christmas Eve, getting an extra McNugget and kittens.

I hate how most of them are just like every other shooter that came out before it. Games like TF2 still give me hope that there is some creativity left in the genre.foxhound_fox

I feel crysis has more creativity.......

Well its probably my favorite genre overall besides RPGS and most played so no I enjoy them, lack of creativity or not. Its more about the immersion, atmosphere and action for me thats the most enjoyable aspects of the genre. I dont really like sports games but I dont go hating on them.GodModeEnabled

Same pinch with U

I asbolutely don't care about FPS as long as they don't twist any RPG.

Indifference is been told to be worser than hatred. At any rate, whatever is fine, just not for me. EQ and CoV are the closest thing to FPS that I enjoy...and as you can see, I am still extremely far.

Tabula Rasa is an example of a RPG twisted by FPS...not that I blame it...I just...don't care and pass on. I don't see how THAT could be refined to make it entertaining to me.

I hate the direction that FPS's are going and most of the people who play them. The people who are FPS fantatics have obviously not played a FPS before Halo. Axel_rocks14

Heh, what are you trying to say? That people who like FPSs nowadays didn't play FPSs before Halo? I've played FPSs since Doom and it's still my favorite genre.

I hate bad FPS. if your gonna make one, with so many, make it right.

Very true. I too like First person shooters, but I might have to hold out on any more. I'll admit that there are a bit too many of them, but in the end, they are good gamesgenerally.

When I had an N64 way back when all I played was Goldeneye and Perfect Dark! However I've not liked any FPS since as much as I did them. I just can't get into FPS anymore.

FPS are ok, but I think nowadays I prefer the multiple views you get with 3rd person games. Games like Hitman (also Oblivion, although not a shooter) where you can swap between 1st person and 3rd person view I always think work really well. They just feel less limiting than a purely 1st person perspective. Although FPS are supposedly more immersive as in you seeing through the characters eyes, there is no peripheral vision which is a major part of how we see, and also the way the gun is always held up, just bobbing about a little (even when running) seems kinda stupid. Killzone offered one of the most well done 1st person perspectives in recent years, but alot of others don't seem to work as well.

I like to play a variety of games but FPS arn't my favorites. Probably TPS and RPG.

no i enjoy playing first shooter games these are the types of games that i have always been into - i like going through solo mission campaigns - i have been into these ever since i was in my early 20s and i still play them i know i am going to get some haters and that is fine they are just what i prefer - if i dont like a game i wont rent it - and it goes the same with everyone else if they dont like a certain type then dont rent or buy it and get ones that you enjoy isnt that what we all want to do - play the games that we enjoy playing :)ravens4life75
