Nope, fuck it, I decided to stick around and live up to the allegations.


You come into this thread and insult fans of the game by stating it's a facepalm that people will buy the game and you expect people to be nice?  Then you state your losing faith in the community when your first post in the thread is a insult and adds nothing to the thread.  Really?  I'm not calling you a fanboy because I don't know, but don't expect nice responses when you insult someone.

This.

Sure you can totally think FPS games overshadow other genres or little-known gems, that has been happening for a while now. Just because (arguably) the best FPS series of all time caused such a surge in console shooters to be made doesn't mean people should think negatively of it or downplay its quality. Hypothetically, If LittleBigPlanet started some massive craze for Platformer games to be made, should we suddenly hate it if its successful and spawns a surge in those types of game's being made?

Plenty of shooters are made and fail miserably, because often the competition can't reach the bar set by previous best.

By saying that just because we have a space marine shooting guns the game will sell really well and lead to more FPS's is very ignorant. That's a clear bias that you just hate FPS games and lump them all in one category. This game is above and beyond the other shooters, always has set the standard on console. I'm guessing you never had LAN Halo parties ten years ago with 15 other people? That my friend, was a magical feeling and experience that Halo resonates with to millions of people to this day.... that is why it sells a ton... not because its got some space marine with a gun.
