Top Ten Reasons Why FPS Games Can Stay Away From GC
So since we ran our top ten on the PlayStation Portable and Ninendo DS we've been getting a lot of attention, and it seems some of the Xbots and PSyborgs don't like the truth. Well the truth sometimes hurts, and with that said, today we give you a run down on the top ten reasons first-person shooters are the worst genre ever, and why GameCube doesn't need titles like DOOM, -blam!-lo, Call Of Duty (for the Xbox? Where!?) and other crappy games.
10. FPS games are boring. All you do is shoot stuff, there aren't any puzzles, you can't collect any items like in Mario, like new moves, fireballs, stars and other kick ass stuff. (*laughing on the floor*)
9. No FPS ever created has ever been innovative. Common, new guns, some extra jumps and bigger maps. OOohhhh, big fricken deal. FPS gamers want to see innovation, check out Mario, Metroid Prime, Zelda, THAT IS INNOVATION, that's where it's at. Word. (*still laughing* Lets give Mario a water gun, INNOVATION!)
8. Most FPS games like DOOM and -blam!-lo, to name a couple, have generic characters and bad graphix. They put all the effort into the guns and bullets, and dont have fun environments, where's the adventure? I'll tell you where, it's in platformers, Pokemon and real games. Not casual crap like Calf-Life 2. (I can't even argue with these utter morons! *still laughing*)
7. FPS games are always delayed too long, look at how long it took for DOOM to come out. It took 3D Realms like what, seven years? I don't know about you, but when that comes out I won't be buying. Who wants ot hear some muscel bound idiot go, "Hail to the King". I mean that's from those crappy Evil Dead movies. (That made no sense. *on the floor laughing*)
6. All genre's, especially fighting games, platformers and role-playing games have stories, FPS games don't. You're just dropped in there and have to go shooting everything. I remember once I was playing Half-Life and they just drop you in, it's totally stupid. They put you on this stupid underground train thing, and then you get off and kill stuff. It's pretty confusing, I couldn't get past the door down the hall after you get off the underground train thingy. (Are you saying HALO: COMBAT EVOLVED doesn't have a story!? And just because all GC people SUCK MY GRANDFATHER'S DICK at FPS's doesn't mean they aren't the best games ever. "I couldn't get past a door, but this stupid button kept saying '(X) to Open'" *continued laughing*)
5. FPS games don't sell well EVER. The best FPS game, I use that term losely of course, was Daikatana, and it only sold like 10,000 copies. Ed Boon and John Tobias should be ashamed of themselves for making a FPS game. Specially after MK. (Don't sell well, as in Halo = 4,000,000? Just checkin.)
4. There have only been a couple good FPS games ever, like Perfect Dark. Since the new games don't use the N64 Memory Expansion Pack like they could, that means that new FPS games could never be as good. It was the pak that made them rock hard, long, smooth and rock hard! YEAH, score another one for both hating on FPS games, and Nintendo's kick ass IP Perfect Dark! (I won't comment since this whole statement has nothing to do with anything.)
3. FPS games don't offer the varities of gameplay that other genres do. Take the great Metroid series for example, it's not a fps, and it has so much variety. Rolling into a ball and blowing stuff up, shooting aliens with multiple types of weapons, it's what gaming is all about. Games that are FPS don't offer that kind of fun, they just have players doint mental stuff like blowing things in to pieces, shooting bad guys with lots of weapons, that kind of stuff. (WHAT!? You just said (QUOTE!), "Metroid has much variety...shooting aliens with multiple weapons. ...FPS don't offer that fun, they just have players that...shoot bad guys with lots of weapons." UHHH...*LAUGHING MY NUCKING FUTS OFF!*)
2. Most FPS games make people violent. DOOM, Half Life, Halo, Call Of Duty, Daikatana, they all make killers. Kids learn how to aim guns and kill people. It's in the news all the time, how players use their mouses and keyboards to laern how to fire guns and murder :( (Yeah, well those are the people that don't have lives are REALLY hardcore people. They make up .0001% of the gaming population.)
*DRUM ROLL!!*
1. FPS games are on Xbox all the time. That's right, as if it wasn't clear enough, stuff like -blam!-lo, DOOM, Chronicles Of Rizzik, all boring, all on the Xbomb. Why would GameCube want that kind of trash. All the games sell bad. (Halo = 4,000,000 sold, Doom isn't even out yet so how do you know?, CoR = 110,000 units in its first three weeks. Yeah, FPS's sell bad.)
On a related note, thanks to totally super fabulous GameCube site, GCAdvanced. Their members are totally on fire! You go girlfriends! Score one for Nintendo! (Wow, they don't even realise they just used stereotypical -blam!--blam!- slang. Talk about -blam!-Cube. =P)
