The Daily Chit-Chat

Then again, violent games with two lightsabers is a different story.

Lol @ The more people you kill and the more creative you are the higher your combo is and the higher your points is. LOLOLOL.

 

[donavannj]

FPS can't hold a candle to strategy other than its quick multiplayer games, in my opinion.

 

[Luck]

:/ There was some game they were showing off at E3 where the entire point of the game seemed to be to kill people in ridiculous ways. It was described like if you took the premise of the Tony Hawk games (get as high a combo as possible with different tricks) met FPS. It looked so incredibly boring.

:( Violent games just aren't my thing. I don't see the point in mindless violence. It's not fun. And that is why the FPS genre gets so much bad rap for being overrated. Each game is the same thing with a different setting. (Arguably, all genres are like this but I notice it so much more in FPS because even the locales and settings look the same.)

I'll bet any amount of money that about 80% of current FPS's are either in the distant future or about World War II.

And then there's the billion dollar exception to that rule that currently dominates the sales of FPS games.

Which is a mediocre game at best. With the sole exception of Modern Warfare, Call of Duty was a below average FPS to me.
Your arms move as if you were playing as Michael J. Fox. :/

That's how all sorts of physics engines make games appear... :\

I never bothered to play other games that were akin to Call of Duty. Why add realism in a game when it detracts from the fun?

Neither have I, but I've still seen various videos of various games where that's the case.

Realism doesn't have to detract from the experience, Luck.

Realism doesn't have to detract from the experience, Luck.

True, but I honestly can't remember a game where realism added significantly to the experience apart from the standard FPS.

 

[donavannj]

True, but I honestly can't remember a game where realism added significantly to the experience apart from the standard FPS.

I can think of a couple where it could: Sim City style games, and Civilization style games. And there're a few RTSs that would benefit greatly from increased realism, though they're the ones already based significantly on reality.

 

[RTHookers]

Kefka is awesome. Anyone agrees?

 

[donavannj]

What's Kefka now?

Also, various simulation games would benefit from more realism. (b'-')b

 

[RTHookers]

Isn't "simulation" is to simulate reality? lol.

Also, don't say anything bad on Kefka or you'll be well done!

 

[donavannj]

That's exactly what simulation games are... they also always benefit from more realism. (b'-')b

I still don't know who Kefka is. I know of the writer Franz Kafka, though.

[Ninja Caterpie]

Son of a submariner, don't you know who Kefka is?!

...and I feel like writing a Doctor Who/Hercule Poirot crossover...involving a Doctor with a headache and Amy trying to keep the story of Murder on the Orient Express on track (hehe, see what I did there?) without entering it - armed only with her wits and a copy of the very book.

 

[donavannj]

Some of us only touched the Final Fantasy series with Tactics Advance and the first 5 minutes of FFX.

 

[Kura]

Good luck with that Who crossover. The Doctor is very quirky and witty so it'll be hard to get his personality down in writing unless you really use your head about it and try to get in character even with the style in which you write.

 

[Jesus oƒ Suburbia]

And then there's people like me who've never even touched the game.

Oh btw, England plays tonight.
So does USA.
England needs to own some Slovenians.
And USA needs to draw with the opposition so that England have a better chance.
If England doesn't win this, they're out.

Ironically, both matches are at the same time...
