Also, how do I shot brick? --- End quote --- Which brings me to: --- Quote from: Chrono on February 20, 2013, 01:56:00 AM ---But why FPS/TPS and not just shooter? Does the camera being behind the player change that much about the game to make it a completely different genre? --- End quote --- And why is this perspective only limited to shooters? Are we going to call WoW an OCMMORPG (Orbiting camera)? Diablo an IRPG (isometric)? While calling Skyrim a FPRPG (First person), with the option of changing the genre entirely into TPRPG (Third person) with the press of a button? |

Game isn't strictly melee. |

And they know their stuff. Just saying. :) |
