ElfTheHunter Posted December 6, 2003 Author Share Posted December 6, 2003 I voted for FPSStuff like Halo, Max Payne 2 (read below), Half-Life...I see FPS not as the name implies but more open to Action where you play through the leading role. The camera can be 3rd person, but as long as you play it as a FPS, it'll be a FPS. I find genre catagories to be inapropriate as they currently exist (and have yet to create a better system) because for example, I see Max Payne 2 as a FPS but not Grand Theft Auto... I think, to be a FPS you need to identify with the character and play his/her role and of course there needs to be shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 I voted for RTS mainly because of map editors, but otherwise it would have been RPG, Final Fantasy is my favourite game ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Op Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 I'm a FPS fan. Mainly because I like shooting up entire levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkAngelBGE Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 Shane, edited the poll title, there was a typo.RTS for me all the way, although I like FPS and sports games, too. Action-RPGs like Diablo make me addicted, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
