| VXIII said: Not BECAUSE it's popular, People think the genre doesn't deserve to be that popular ,many people want games to move thier emotions , they need a great story and characters , FPS genre doesn't have depths in it , it's might deliver the fun factor but that's it . As for myself I tried to like the genre many times , when I start I think it fun and all but I quit after 15 minutes or so , also Physics/animations are important to know the character better therefore they are important factor in the story telling , for example FF has always been about stylish movements which make us think that the character is cool ( or emo for some ) , in general FPS genre can't deliver what I want to see in my games , but I can totally understand why some people like it. |
Bioshock, Half Life, Metro 2033, The Darkness, System Shock 2, Portal and I'm sure that I can go and on, but there have been heaps of First Person Shooters with rich and emotional stories. People just the genre because it's popularity is currently massive, it's always been very popular, they don't like the genre or they just suck at the games. It also doesn't help that some people's perceptions of the FPS genre is limited to games like Halo, MW2, Military Shooter No. 56 and Counterstrike.
Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.
