If this has come up already recently, forgive and ignore this topic, I havn't been able to post in a while.
I'm kind of sick of the barrage of First Person Shooters lately, video games these days really don't have "the stuff" old ones did. It's not just that there were "vintage" or whatever, there have been really good games for current systems, and even some FPS's that i enjoy, but the old games were just AWESOME. I mean look at Metal Storm for the NES; You're in a gunner robot, just shooting the crap out of other robots (who are obvioiusly evil and need to be destroyed). You have a number of abilities in this game. You can jump, shoot lasers (of varying types depending on your upgrade) and FLIP UPSIDE DOWN. How cool is that, i mean, you can just be like "hey guess what floor, I'm too good for you" and the floor is like "too bad, I've got gravity on my side" and you just smile and simply say "not anymore" and press the reverse gravity button. There are WAY too many plain bad games as of late, and i'm getting sick of it. Does anyone agree? |

Metal Storm is not a first person shooter. It's a platformer. Get your genres right.
And there hasn't been any more FPS games coming out in recent years than in years previous. It's just that there are 3 really big hyped ones on the horizon (Halo 2, Doom 3, and Halflife 2). I agree that not enough originality is put into games anymore, but there is only so much that's possible to do. We're to the point in gaming now where everything is going to be based off something else, much like what happened to the movie industry around the 60s and 70s.

I'm guessing you got a ROM for that game, since that's how I heard about it. It's fun in that when you flip gravity, most of your enemies do too and you jump in reverse (you jump down) which makes it disorienting and cool.

"It's not just that there were "vintage" or whatever" (talking about why old games were cool, saying it wasn't because they are just old) ", there have been really good games for current systems, and even some FPS's that i enjoy," (saying that i'm not totally trashing the FPS genre altogether) " but the old games were just AWESOME." (back to the old games point, sorry if this sentence was confusing for you, and yes i know Metal Storm isn't a first person shooter) "I mean look at Metal Storm for the NES;"

Well, they're not original...all FPS games tend to stick to the same molds. WWII, Wild West, Modern Day, Terrorist/CounterTerrorist, and future space marine types. But I love 'em all the same. I don't give a damn if they're original, just as long as they're fun.

Well, Sci-Fi stuff tends to be different, but that's because it's always fun to theorize what war will be like.

FPSs will never be repetitive as long as they have a decent, original story. Also, I think FPSs for world war II was extremely cool and innovative (until there were 50 on the market). |

It gets incredibly boring. Killing people isn't that fun. If you want to kill things, try killing a variety of things on an RPG.

I agree with the first post totally. I'm also sick of games being as "real" as can be.. it's stupid.

There's something in a game for everyone.
Some people like FPS games just for the killing.. for killing I'd rather play GTA or an RPG, like bean said. Some people like FPSes for graphics.. I can't say anything about these losers... SNES and Genesis graphics are the only graphics I'll ever truly love. Why not play one of those MMOFPSRPGOMGIJUSTBUTTFUCKEDADONKEY games? They've got everything for someone and something for everyone.

What he means is MMORPG, massively multiplayer online role playing game. It's got something that everyone likes. Try Runescape or Risk Your Life, they are both free. Google it because I dont think I can post em here. |
