If there's any group that needs to back taken down a few notches, it's Nintendo fans (for reasons very much like these).

 


Facepalm.

Overused picture is overused.

Ministaff: So you're saying that Nintendo fans don't try to prove their console is better? If we're looking at who makes the best shooter games, Nintendo definitely does not take the trophy (most shooters from Sony or Microsoft tend to be from second parties anyways). And what are fanboys supposed to know? They know what they think.

 

 

still the picture was in high need for your post.

ofcourse their console is better, better suited for them, just like yours is better suited for you, that's why you decided to go with the console you bought and they decided on theirs...

now if your argument really is "better sales = better console" or "better sales = better game" (and it seems like it is), then I wasted my time talking to you, for then you are just a lost cause, a simple victim of drooling over sales data, but I'll give you the benefit of doubt until you come up with a response

 to the bolded part, did i say that? and no nintendo doesnt make the best fps it makes the greatest one (referring to duck hunt.) and too bad for nintendo that they dont base most of their hit games on games that involve brutally murdering other people. and if youre gonna say the underlined part then i'll ask you what DO we know? for all we know we are a stain on a magicians wand that he decided to breed life on and make us think we have our own universe.

i highly respect the way you approached the situation and for that i thank you. the reason nintendo is a better company is the variety of hit games they have, their ability to please the market, their ability to sell their product, their ability to make a game that awes the world and the overall greatness of everything they make.

 

p.s the last part was a bit bs but i found it pretty funny. and the rest is true.

actually, from what I can remember, you never actually see a person that you control, it's implied. So technically, you are not in the view of the first person, because there was no person there to begin with, you could be controlling god know's what. As there are no hands or body parts to indicate you are in control of a person, you can only assume you are a person in-game, but that doesn't make it fact.

See I can make outrageous calls as well.

Anyway, it's not a first person shooter because first person means that you control the character, as you have no control over where the character moves or looks it cannot be in the first person. Also, the category is "light-gun" game.

You implied it by saying that 360 and PS3 fans try to prove their consoles are better. You made no reference to Wii fans, as if they belong to some superior code of morals and values.

As for the middle part, that's the kind of immature attitude that I thought would have been left reeking in the GC generation. I have no good response to that. And as for your last point, that's jut out there. But I like your thinking.

 



 

 

i was stating how they will brag about anything. of course ninty fans brag just not about the randomest things. but thats because we have better things to brag about. ;)

technically it is a first person shooter. Remember the person aspect is not saying a person has to be seen, it's just the wording you use. In reality first person describes that you are the main character and the main character is you. Meaning technically first person games shouldn't even show the main character at all because you outside of the TV you are suposed to be the character. Really 3rd person would describe better the games where you see the gun and games you see the entire character. But most shooters show the gun or a hand to give just a little more connection and still can be called an FPS because you still don't see the face apparently.

Although we separate light gun shooters from what we describe as an FPS, in every way the are a First Person shooter, probably moreso to the definition than what we deem a first person shooter.

I'm not suggesting anything else to this topic because I know shooter fanboys on whatever platforms will get angry, but that is the technical stuff of this matter. Take it for what its worth.



while the game is certainly played in first person and it is a shooter.. that doesn't define the genre "First Person Shooter" because gaming is too complex for its own good.. as many others have said, a game where you don't control (to a high degree) your characters movements is generally referred to as a 'light gun game'
