Is a game getting less recognition than another game more important than the entertainment factor you get from it? When you go down to it I feel we've dug into the core of the gaming surface. Role playing games, hack and slash/ fighters, racing, shooters both third and first person, simulators, platformers, sandboxes, you name it, they all share the same gameplay style, it's the atmosphere, the type of game it is, and specific gimmick in it that makes a game what it is. Some games are simply more popular because others have, at the least, fun from it and it's memorable, and they enjoy that type of game.. I don't think genres apart from action, puzzle, and all that jazz should exist because it's limiting people from experimenting new games. I'm saying keeping genre markers like action and puzzle so you can at least seperate opiasforgetit i got really confused here --- Quote from: Mounds Bar on February 19, 2013, 10:41:08 PM ---You're not hurting anyone in the process of doing that. --- End quote --- plant pests your stamina |

No matter of what defines a FPS, we need to popularize games to balance them with most of the combat games, this is probably because game developers want to emphasize on combat games because they need to compete with other major game developers to make money, which brings me back to the 2 major game developers that are making all of these extremely popular FPS games: EA, Activision. |

FPS has grown to describe a game where you usually end up shooting other people with actual guns. --- End quote --- friend has grown to be a gay slur, just because something has grown to mean something doesn't mean it should keep that meaning. --- Quote from: Mounds Bar on February 19, 2013, 10:51:58 PM ---No matter of what defines a FPS, we need to popularize games to balance them with most of the combat games, this is probably because game developers want to emphasize on combat games because they need to compete with other major game developers to make money, which brings me back to the 2 major game developers that are making all of these extremely popular FPS games: EA, Activision. --- End quote --- EA is a publisher and Activsion is a developer. |

On topic: Not everyone is a major FPS fan, some people like cars, others like puzzles, also, people would probably pay for anything if it was hip and new. |
