| ItsaMii said: Ignoring Goldeneye is bad. Unfortunately we can also blame Bungie for a lot of other bad FPS trends. 1) self recharging health - lazy developers can just ignore level design because all you have to do is find some cover and wait. 2) "melee attack hurts more than bullets trend". A full clip of automatic fire can not kill you, 5 or 6 melee attacks can. Also, you can move while taking shotgun blasts in the face, but one melee attack is enough to stop you. |
Goldeneye was great for the time but there were still huge problems with the game, mainly involving the controls. I will admit that you can argue whether GE or Halo had more of an impact on console FPS, that's for sure.
As for your 1 and 2 points, I won't argue with that. I don't mind recharging health in some games but in others, it really kills the intensity level. And melee damage is over the top in Halo (although the guy is a 700 lb. super-soldier wearing 1/2 ton armor).
