Sybarite Paladin AxL Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 Silent Hill isn't a First Person Shooter. It's a Third Person Action Game.Sry, forgot that!! 2D BEURTSFPS/3rdPS (mainly Horror, Silent Hill, Painkiller, hate tactical shooters, dislike world war II types except for Battlefield and Day of Defeat mod)RPGs (Sacred sux IMO, NWN forever!!!) Also, as FPS+3rdPS Half-life mod I play Earth's Special Forces (the best dbz mod out there, I strongly recommend it)

They sorta change the player, while a RTS/FPS/RPG could never do that!!Fighting games helped me build self-confidence(but not by much)! Edited July 14, 2004 by axl

Diso Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 3rd Person is a totally different genre dude.Third person and Fighting games are using the environment nowadays. Making game development pretty nice.

Chaotica Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 First Person Shooters - Doom, Quake, Painkiller, yay!Role Playing Games - Baldur's Gate, Planescape: TormentFighting games - all and any!Scrolling beat em ups - Final Fight, Cadillacs & DinosaursSHUMPS (I think that's the accronym) - R Type, Pulstar, Super AlesteFuturistic Racers: XG2 and DethKarz are my favs hereOld skool platformers - too many to mention, but not your common Sonic/Mario games...I like the more obscure platformers, like the many found on the Amiga computer - Switchblade, Carvup, Super Frog and my fav game of all time, GodsFuturistic Sports - Hyperblade and another very fav game, Speedball 2Third Person games - used to hate them, but BloodRayne and GTA3 has changed thatSurvival Horror games too!
OverlordMondo Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 SHUMPS (I think that's the accronym) - R Type, Pulstar, Super Aleste Futuristic Sports - Hyperblade and another very fav game, Speedball 2I should've added those to mine. But what exactly is SHUMPS an acronym for?
[S4]The Phantom Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 Real Time strategy FPS Fighting (more 2D than 3D) MMORPG Real Time Role Playing In no particular order However for me the genre is a mere category. I hated fighting games until I played Samurai Shodown 2 after 7 years had passed since its original release. It's the game that matters....
ken_cinder Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 I like anything FUN, I don't have any real bias towards any genre as long as I can find a game in it that entertains me. The only genre I'm impartial to is fighting games, I feel that genre has started going downhill in the past 3 or 4 years and I don't play newer ones.The genres I lean towards more...... FPSAction/AdventurePlatformersRTS
Chaotica Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 SHUMPS (I think that's the accronym) - R Type, Pulstar, Super Aleste Futuristic Sports - Hyperblade and another very fav game, Speedball 2I should've added those to mine. But what exactly is SHUMPS an acronym for? Quick google search shows that some people say "shumps" but the more correct term is "shmups." A very good site about all shmups is here I couldn't find what the acronym means, but in old days the genre was called "Shoot 'Em Ups," so I think the accronym is roughly derived from there. I recently downloaded R-Type Leo for Mame - how awesome is that game! Ah, R-Type... Another thing...I used to love flight sims, but now I have surprisingly dropped out of them. Too many FPS, I guess.
