Sabretooth Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Why not have some game awards right here in Lucasforums? The first one is FPS and a new category will be coming up every week. Remember-The poll is gonna last for only 7 days, one week. Vote fast and let's see who's gonna win...

CapNColostomy Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 I'm going w/ BFV for now. I hope to change that when Joint Operations is released. *EDIT* The demo's out now, if anyone's interested go to http://www.jointopsthegame.com/default.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have played Elite Force 1 and 2. Although storywise I think theyre better than either Jo/Ja, being able to use the saber alone redeems them for this SW fan..... mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crow_Nest Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Call of Duty rox0rz! Best shooter eva! Btw, JA isnt really an FPS, its a first person and third person. So you cant really compare it with the other FPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txa1265 Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 I voted for JA - it is #2 on my all-time list, after all, so that's no surprise. My thoughts: - UT and BfV are MP games, and therefore of no interest to me at all. Heck, you might as well have put in Planetside for all I care (that is Sony's MMOFPS, right?) - Deus Ex was great (one of my top 10 ever), but DX:IW will stand out as one of my biggest disappointments ever. - Call of Duty is, to me, MoHAA++ (if you take my meaning ... see computer geek thread ). Great game, really short, really, really short ... did I mention it was short? - Halo? Nice sci-fi shooter. IMO, if you didn't get it for XBox in 2001 it is no big whoop. I didn't, and it isn't. Jedi Academy can be played like a 'normal' FPS, in which case you miss half the fun, IMO. I like games with plot. MP games have no plot by design. CoD has a premise - replay battles. That isn't a plot - because a plot centers on character, and I could barely remember my name half the time. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txa1265 Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Originally posted by Astrotoy7 hey, in a looser sense of the description, KOTOR is a TPS too No. Period. Shooter, for whatever other distortions, requires aiming. You do not - and cannot - aim in KotOR. KotOR is a RPG. It is not even an 'action' RPG, like the Diablo class of hak-n-slashers, or a FP-RPG like Morrowind where you have to manually attack. JA is a FPS by genre, but in reality the saber and force power based action change the nature of the game considerably. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half-Life No One Lives Forever 2 Elite Force Alien vs Predator 2 DOOM Quake Duke Nukem 3D GoldenEye 007 Red Faction etc etc etc Yeah, where the hell is the Quake series - which essentially defines the genre. And I wouldn't describe JA as a First Person Shooter - if you played the game purely on that basis, it would suck even more than it does so already Where is Dark Forces, now that is a FPS ...and Serious Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_One Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Well, your post clearly states "Best FPS," and to me, that means precisely that If you are having a "Best FPS" poll, then you missed out a substantial number of games the average gamer might wish to consider as the "Best FPS." Hence the confusion... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I used the word "loose" - of course KOTOR is an RPG.... ! mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txa1265 Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Originally posted by Pnut_Master 2 votes for CoD?! OMG CoD IzZ Teh R0x0rz OF ALL !`11!!1 That is why it is great that we have so many great games in different genres (FPS, RPG, etc) and subgenres (FPS with RPG-lite, RPG w/RTS, 'Action' RPG, etc). I like CoD a lot - it is my favorite WWII game, passing MoHAA which passed RtCW. But at the same time there's probably 15 - 20 games I'd rather be playing.

Pie™ Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 seeing how JA isn't really a fps, CoD is the only fps i've played on that list... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Lesse, if JA is there, and it's only RECENT games... Splinter Cell, Pandoras tomorrow. if it's any FPS.....Halo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, at least JA has some FPS elements in there - and you can play in FP should you wish, but Splinter Cell (and Pandora Tomorrow) is a third person game!
