deskpro2k3 said: Its a FPS with rpg elements. Basically FPS which is obviously popular in the west.
You haven't even played a Half-Life game, have you? There are no RPG elements in the series.
why you still talking?? Fall Out 3? dude c'mon I know you love your FPS, but damn...look rpg and fps don't really mix. end of story. shoot someone 30 times in the head they don't die.. move on
Yes, I love FPS games. That's why I booted up Bioshock 2 a few weeks ago and realized it was the first shooter I had played in over 12 months. I looooooooove me some shooters, so much that I take long breaks from them to play other games.
What point are you trying make in this debate then?
You're not even worth talking to. Go ahead and bow down to your dying genre that needs to turn Hollywood and remake a decent game that sold a lot of copies because it stopped trying to innovate two generations ago and is now completely devoid of new ideas.
The fan base is there. Just most of them is not on Xbox360.
PS. And Fallout 3 can barely be considered an FPS game and it certainly doesn't have "RPG elements". It is 100% RPG through and through, even more so than 99% of the "JPRGS" out there. Hell, Mass Effect is more shooter-ish than Fallout (and this discussion was primarely about previous Fallout games, which were isometric RPG games with zero shooter elements).
With that said, why are you talking at all? You started this conversation with me.
you're the one who cant get a clue. opinions are opinions my friend, but Final Fantasy has a huge fan base and that is fact. Same for both your generic shooter games. That alone makes both game great. But, listen carefully. I really dont give a damn about Half-Life. This is my last attempt to put some knowledge into you.
If this is not an FPS game then I think you need to consider getting an eye exam.
Have you even played these games? Fallout 3 does NOT play like an FPS game. Yes, it is a first person game and yes, your character does fire weapons. On a PC, it can be played more aggressively in FPS style. But mostly, it's an RPG. You choose your enemy and the game automates the hits for you, not unlike Parasite Eve or Mass Effect (though ME is more shooter-y).
But go ahead and "drop some knowledge on me", even though it's pretty apparent I've played a shit ton more video games than you have and have owned or played every major console of the past 20 years on top of being a PC gamer for much of that time.
And where did I say FF doesn't have a massive fanbase? Jesus, you're dense. If you don't see that JRPGs have lot much of their gaming clout over the past 15 years on consoles, you're just not paying attention. FF is the last JRPG franchise that really sells in high enough numbers to warrant the development.
