Am I the only one not waiting on an FPS release?

[Galax]

FPS is not my absolute favorite genre, but it´s solid enough for me.
Borderlands for instance with it´s rpg elements.
Only really waiting for it´s sequel.

Other then that..DEAD FREAKING SPACE 3! D:
Over-shoulder 3rd person view is so delicious for some reason.

Also, big fan of Metroid and Megaman.
My favorite being the FPA sub-genre with Metroid Prime and the more experimental Megaman Legends.

But currently i´m waiting for my copies of LoZ:Skyward Sword, Batman:Arkham City, ESV:Skyrim and Super Mario Land 3D.

I salute a fellow Metroid fan, as well as another Megaman fan. I played Borderlands, as well, and it was great fun, but I'm still not a fan of the FPS genre. I'm a fan of a few games, but to me, that doesn't justify saying "I'm a fan of first person shooters".

Also, to all those who pointed out GoW not being First person, I know; I played the first one for a few days. It wasn't my style.

And, YES. Another MML fan! Good. We need more of those.

I don't want FPS. I want for PC:

Dungeon Defenders
Grim Dawn
PSO2

Just Borderlands II for fps. Other titles include any new would-be megaman legends games. Or anything SMT or vanillaware released . Tales of Xillia if it's localized too.

It seems the only shooters I enjoy are those that don't take themselves so seriously - Conker, Timespslitters, Borderlands... Grim titles of the genre just don't hold my attention for some reason.

War shooters can get pretty boring, no lie. Plus, as Kodia said, the community for them are all raging asshats and 12 year olds who haven't had their nap yet. In terms of FPS'es that I actually do enjoy, those would mostly be TF2 and Counterstrike, if I actually owned it. Still haven't bought it, despite it being cheap. >_>

The only fps that I'm actively wanting is Serious Sam 3. Because, goddamn those games are awesome.

Why play a game that you are destined to fail in?

Edit: For those who don't know, no matter what you do in SS3, you lose and your enemy successfully invades Earth.

For Megaman. e_e

I was strongly captured by the EXE series, and enjoyed starforce I liked those the most (though I was a hardcore megaman fan since the original gameboy days Megaman V being my first game.) But I think those ended well enough for my needs.

I was really looking forward to legends 3, though... They could definitely make a non-gross looking X(I just think he looked horrible in X7 and something felt a little off about him in X8 ) or try out a new series. I don't mind the Classics staying 8-bit(OR doing something similar to legends even).

The first ZX was okay, but I didn't like Advent's story or characters/the way they changed the older characters. First game had a cool and colorful atmosphere and reminded me of a shounen anime back when shounen was still cool or something, But advent just tried to make everything dark again to match up with zero, or something, I dunno, only thing I liked was that you fought other Megamen.

I don't know, I actually don't enjoy first-person nor third-person shooters unless I'm able to play it co-op with a friend. Even then, I don't really enjoy the game so much as the fact that I enjoy co-op quite a bit, so I only really play because I like being able to chill with people I know and be able to play alongside them.

That being said, games I'm looking forward to? I don't know. I personally love fantasy games, but I feel like I haven't been playing as many games as I had in the past. I make time for the retro-style platforming games, or retro-style beat 'em ups, or retro-style space shooters. Other than that, I get other kinds of games because I want to play with people I know, not really because they're the most interesting to me. That's not to say I despise the games I actually purchase, but I have about 200% more fun playing with a friend when it comes to games like Borderlands and whatever else.

I guess certain settings really appeal to me. I've fallen in love with the aesthetics of the PS realm since I began playing PSO. It was quirky enough and lovable enough for me to want to spend time on it regardless of who was playing. In fact, I played that game offline for the most part until I got the hardware to allow my GC to go online. I am hoping that PSO2 will be awesome, but I am not holding my breath for it because I haven't really seen any games recently that have been able to excite me or hold my interest in them.

Ultimately I am with you on the whole "not looking forward to a FPS game" thing. I really don't care if others look forward to those kinds of games, though. I guess I will say that it does feel like there are an awful lot of them coming out all the time compared to other genres of games, but I know hardly anything about CoD, Halo, Rage, etc. I hear about them from my friends, but that's about it. I guess the only thing I can think of that sounded interesting was Deus Ex, and I don't know anything about that game -- I even don't know if it's FPS or TPS, so I guess I'll look that up now out of curiosity.

We sunk hundreds of dollars in arcade games, didn't we?

Thanks for spoilers, asshat.

Because Serious Sam is still awesome.

Yeah, almost forgot about SS3.
Gonna have to get that as well.

For Megaman, I started with X4 iirc, unless I got EXE3 first. I can't honestly say which it was, any more than I can say whether I started Harvest Moon with A Wonderful Life on GC or Friends of Mineral Town on GBA. It's just been too long. All the same, though...Legends was great. I only ever got to play the first, and I played it to death. I loved the fact that there was a chance of recovery from "evil" in that one. I assumed the same of EXE4, and had to restart as a consequence - there is no return there. As for Star Force, I was highly upset at the new way Megaman came to be at first. The games are great, but the only two series to employ a "fusion" method are both spin-offs of previous series - ZX, a spin-off of the Zero series, really, and Star Force, a spin-off of Battle Network/EXE (Whichever you prefer).

And name me a true Megaman fan who WASN'T looking forward to Megaman Legends 3. See if you can find one ;p
