What do you hate about shootings games?

[ben_nyc]

Guys, ladies... in terms of competitive FPSs, I think a health bar/stat like in the Counterstrike/Day of Defeat series makes it a very tense & skillful experience. The CoD & BF are great but it's so frenetic- which is fine. It's just the shields/health regen mechanic seems like a step backwards for competitive FPSs.

Generally, I have no qualms about the quality of FPSs this gen. I don't even mind the SP mode- obviously this dept. needs help. I played it & yeah, it's like a summer film. Which dev. improved the most? The quality has steadily increased although BF4 has my vote as providing a bigger jump in tech than the annual CoD releases. Frostbite is an amazing engine.

What do people here think about Titan Fall & Destiny? IMO, it's very, very risky. Still, the team building the above titles are proven FPS superstars.

Sounds like you're looking for Hardcore then. Dunno about CoD but in BF hardcore no health regen unless a teammate drops a health pack. I prefer BF, forces people to work together and it's even more exciting in clan fights. As for Destiny, that looks pretty neat looking but I'm waiting until I play a demo or something.

"Yeah man, if you leave those weird things alone I can get a Tactical Nuke!"

I never played MW2 again. Hilariously unbalanced, full of boosters, and was just a general disappointment.

Why does everyone hate boosters? I loved finding them and ruining their time! most of the time they were awful at the game so killing them both wasn't any issue. >

I hated them because typically they only boost on the larger maps, making it difficult to find them unless you're working with someone on the other side. Otherwise it was pretty fun to mess with them but that didn't happen often enough.

I love shooters. TF2 is my favorite game of all time.
To say they get boring after awhile is a true saying but its the same for every game ever made.
When people **** on shooters I'm pretty sure they forget theres more games with guns in them than CoD and Battlefield.
L4D, Half Life, GTA Red Dead, Saints Row, Resident Evil, Just Cause, Rainbow Six, Dead Rising sorta, ETC ETC ETC

I don't really like FPSes, visually it's boring, gameplay wise it can get old quick, and I just don't like pointing and shooting something. Just feels dull. There are some good ones out there obviously.

On the other hand, I DO like STGs/shoot'em ups/bullet hells, and I don't know why anyone hasn't commented on them yet, since they are shooting games. I don't like quick and random sprays of bullets, huge walls that really are impossible to dodge, a really stupid gimmick for scoring, or even for surviving, and that's what I don't like/hate about them. It really depends on the game, but I usually like at least some parts even in a bad game.

I like some shooters like Bioshock Infinite and a ton of Survival Horror stuff.

However, I think the market is over-saturated with FPS. I wish there were more genres to choose from. I feel like pre-current generation there was a little bit more variety.

I loved MW2. Back in 2009 and 2010 I would come home from school, hop on XBox, go to Ground War and just rush at the enemies constantly with my Spas-12. That's pretty much the only reason I enjoyed MW2; the shotguns were glorious.

Honestly, it depends on the game for me. Halo and CoD give me zero interest since they're in a war setting and basically have zero story to them. If I'm going to a play a game, I like a story or at least make it an enjoyable game. The Mass Effect trilogy and The Last of Us, which I'm currently playing and loving it, have a story. Give it some depth besides going out and killing people. WHY does your character do it? WHEN did all of this happen? Bioshock is next on my list so I honestly can't give an opinion there till I play it.

Yeah that's basically my opinion.

I don't play any real shooting games and I have nothing against shooting games. I just wished they were more interesting. Games like modern warfare, call of duty and halo all look so identical that you won't know the difference unless you play them, same goes for left 4 dead and resident evil and mass effect (all the games mentioned are games I have seen but never played). The same also goes for bullet hell, side scrolling and on-rail shooters.

I would like to see more originality or going outside the box. We need a new shooting game, a shooting game that isn't all about space, war, horror, blood or shooting ridiculous stuff.

Don't compare Mass effect to l4d or resident evil.

There a tons of "shooters" that don't place in space and you shoot "normal" stuff and non war shooters.
As for the horror and blood you can't have a game where you kill another life form without them.

How varied can an onrail shooter possibly get? Besides on-rail shooters with the exclusion of house of the dead are pretty much no where on consoles, they're arcade games.

I pretty much fail at shooter games like COD so I just laugh at myself do terrible while online. Okay, I was kind of good at one point but my xbox broke so I doubt I have skill with them anymore. I don't really have anything to hate about them though.

 

[Chobi]

I don't like it much beacuse I am a bad shooter I always run out of ammo xD

 

[MadCake]

The fact that it's the cancer of almost every company besides Nintendo.
And the fanboys in general make me want to tear out my brain, dye it with bleach, and put it back in and DIE.
The only shooters I come close to liking are Team Fortress, The shooting segments of conker's bad fur day, And Call of duty 4.

 

[kittenrobotarmy]

I don't like shooting games altogether. I play Fat Princess instead. It has muskets, swords, and weapons with plenty of blood, but it is almost in a cartoony world with 3D sprites. It's a better alternative to shooting games even though it doesn't have that close up action where you see through the eyes your character.

 

[Redlatios]

Fanboys and 12 year old kids playing it. And the "grown ups" acting like 12 year olds. I mean on games like call of duty, of course. In l4d i hate the guys that go too far ahead, die, and then ask for help, but when you die they won't bother to help you.

 

[Marceline]

My aim is terrible... And its just not my type of game. I get bored. :c

 

[charmed girl]

I attempted to play COD but couldn't get the hang of moving the camera and shooting at the same time, and every time I tried to shoot someone they would always shoot me first. I get killed at least 15-20 times in multi player so I gave up trying lol.

 

[bittermeat]

I don't mind shooting games, I like playing them. People on COD are annoying as fudge though.

I play Left 4 Dead 2 a lot, because most of the people aren't so aggressive and angry.

Dumb parents that always say "MY CHILD PLAYED CALL OF DUTY AND NOW HE'S A SERIAL KILLER!!"" My gosh it's YOUR stupid fault for letting your kid play the freaking game gosh.
