[b]Edit: Apparently since half the people on this forum are mentally retarded I have to explain to you, "sidescroller and shooter" are not your only choices... if you knew BASIC GRAMMAR you'd realize that the sentence i used meant FOR EXAMPLE sidescroller, you twats.[/b]
i wanted to add a "LOL i'm anti-gun laws" poll option but i actually wanted a serious poll here.
i'd also like to know whether or not you like the FPS community. personally i get sick of it sometimes, it's like most of them either don't play anything else or just feel like bullying around people who don't LIVE for the FPS
although my favorite game ever created is in fact a FPS, it's much more of an adventure platformer with deep story telling (Metroid Prime.) the runner up would have to be Pokemon and other RPGs. [b][/b]

Your poll is too limited. Almost all of my next gen gaming time has been in fps (bf4) and much of my 360 gaming was in bf3 and other fps games. I personally don't like them that much, and despite years of practice I always find movement cumbersome and at times irritating. Currently there isn't a single great game on ps4, and the ones that are average are all FPS games. That's gonna change here in the next few months. Then I'll be able to really enjoy my favorite type of game; 3rd person RPGs. Destiny is the last fps I buy for a very long time. The genre is bloated and stale as everyone tries to make a cash machine like CoD but continue to fail horribly. Even CoD is starting to collapse under its own weight. Kudos to bungie for trying something that isn't a complete run of the mill derivative of the lucrative CoD games. I had my eye on Evolve but then they inexcusably delayed it to February which is when both bloodborne and The Witcher 3 release, so I'll never play it. Only interested in the monsters anyway. The problem is that the vast majority of fps players, including CoD players is that they're as much 'real gamers' as people who play iTunes games. Aka they're not. I think its fair to say most 'true gamers' enjoy robust games with intricate features and such, while most 'casual fps' players do not wish to invest that kind of time and effort into such things. So devs make more simple game which are easier to start playing right off the bat. In the mad dash to make CoD piles of money countless devs have intentionally or not, followed this ideology of simplification and as a result they wind up with wholly underwhelming products. That's so much tldr. Rant off.
