Re: Why is the First Person Genre so popular?
Sorry, I must have been confused when reading your post.
You begin by talking about the FPS learning curve. Then you talk about Call of Duty and claim it has an easy learning curve. You move onto RTS games, giving StarCraft as an example and claim that it's more complex. You move back to FPS games and give an example of one with more advanced mechanics and end your post with this TL;DR: Quote:
My apologies.

Re: Why is the First Person Genre so popular?
I leave out information that I think need not be mentioned, but then I leave holes, so sorry for the confusion! I can understand how you would think that though. I used other examples just to contrast the numbers because lets face it, Call of Duty is the clear victor in terms of the number of players that play for the FPS genre.

However, they should also realize how inaccurate first impressions can be, and shouldn't be so quick to judge. It's painful to watch people stand by these exact ideals in certain arguments, then quickly turn around and break the fundamentals of said ideals for convenience in other arguments. Off topic: I'm super tired right now. It's kind of hard for me to concentrate on this thread.

so lemme lay it down for you (no flaming here dont worry dude) thread title: why is 1st person shooter so popular my answer: it's popular just because it's a game, like many other games in other genres mike weedmark comments: first person shooters are very dominant in the gaming industry my response: fps isn't "dominant" in the gaming industry, as a matter of fact many other genres are on-par if not more popular than first person shooters your response: "i'm p.sure ppl can be into more than one genre at a time" i don't get it lol, not tryna flame or anything, i just think you completely missed what i was trying to say here what im saying isnt subjective, it's fact that fps isn't the dominant genre like what others have said here aite pceeee

Re: Why is the First Person Genre so popular?
fixed your reading comprehension for you (not trying to be mean here, you should really think before you post)
"Sorry for the repeat of words from a previous topic, but this got me thinking. Why is it that first person shooters are made on a yearly basis and still sell well?" also have a reference picture everyone, statistics taken from steam's website today pce

Re: Why is the First Person Genre so popular?

I'll be sure to take you less seriously from now on. Also, your picture represents one platform very well. Where are your statistics for the others? It may be only my imagination, but I was pretty sure many FPS fans reside on console platforms. Your picture does accurately portray how RTS/MOBA gamers are mostly isolated to the PC. At least, that's all I got out of it. Maybe that's another thing I shouldn't be taking so literally as well, huh? You should give me some lessons in life.

Re: Why is the First Person Genre so popular?
if you go to this website
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...ng_video_games you will see that shooters only lead in consoles like the 360/ps3 all other consoles completely dwarf shooters by tenfolds you really need to some research if you're going to say things in a thread
