Happy to hear this! Tell us how it is.

Well don't try to limit the FPS genre to shitty war games. That's like saying 2D platformers as whole are bad because New Super Mario Bros. keeps getting milked. If your looking for some good games in the genre I'd highly recommend Halo, Singularity and of course Half-Life.

I'm talking about current FPSs. I know older ones are good, especially Deus Ex (Human Revolution is more like a stealth game, so I don't count it as a FPS).

There tend to be these games that get immense popularity and then suddenly die out. Bioshock Infinite was pretty shit in my opinion. Can't really talk for The Last of Us. It looks like a well made game but I can't quite see what makes people act like its such a masterpiece. I wonder if it's because some of these games really are or because of mass advertising.

Mass advertising, trust me on this one. A lot of lesser-known games tend to be much better than the highly-praised ones.

From what I've read the CoD franchise actually sells ridiculously good in Japan.

I knew GTA was selling good in Japan but not for CoD. I guess I never cared for series to ask them.
But still, Japanese prefer RPG's and Platformers over FPS and sandbox
Now for CoD, that is something I will investigate next time I go to Japan when I have money to do so.

Bioshock Infinite was mainly praised for it's artistic expression and story telling. Reception on the game mechanics was mixed, though.

The Last of Us was again praised for artistic expression and story telling, though most people quite like the game mechanics too, including the online multiplayer. It also has great visuals, and the voice acting is perfect from what I've seen.

I plan to play the Bioshock series sometime, so I'll get to Infinite.

As for The Last of Us, I actually really want that. I love anything made by Naughty Dog, you can't really go wrong with them. I loved their Crash games, I am quite liking Jak & Daxter so far, and I played through the Uncharted games earlier this year and absolutely adored them.

Honestly, just because a game is mass marketed or praised, doesn't mean it's a sell out. There is no need to be hipsters and avoid every AAA title, just because things like CoD and GTA might be lacking. Some AAA titles deserve the praise they get.

I'm in school now, so free time is kinda limited. But yeah, when I have something to share about the game, I'll be here.

Actually, I heard quite a few complaints about the gameplay of Last of Us.

The Halo series is nothing of that, its completely sci-fi with aliens and has an amazing story. And I'm not talking about the regular green alien with big black eyes. I don't recall hearing anything racist in it either and its humans fighting for their survival in space and the character you are is the last hope of humanity. Its completely different from any FPS I have ever played. As for online, you wont meet too much of these children that shouldn't even play these games, in 5 years, me and my brother only met one. Its only on xbox tough.

LAYMAN LEGENDOH!

One more video to add in my catalogue this weekend. Thanks for sharing.

In Halo you play as a black guy with actually character.

And as much as WW2 shooters were saturating the FPS genre last gen like America vs Russia/Terrorists this gen, I kind of miss WW2 shooters.

I consider a Halo one of the few enjoyable FPS games out there.

Same, I don't like Borderlands, COD and some other games I forgot the name of. The only ones I enjoyed playing were Halo and Battlefield.

Though TF2 is the only one I play frequently nowadays, well I used to play it frequently.

I am back in RL challanges

I'm too lazy to even play the game now. Maybe I'll get back to it later.

I am soon gonna get 900 000

I moved the GTA conversation to the Games thread in the Off Topic, but accidentally got one of the posts out of order.
