What do you hate about shootings games?

[chillv]

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

I didn't. I said you wouldn't be able to tell any difference unless you played them. I have never played them so I don't know the difference.

There a tons of "shooters" that don't place in space and you shoot "normal" stuff and non war shooters.

I know, but most of those are Japan-only and/or arcade-only

As for the horror and blood you can't have a game where you kill another life form without them.

Actually, you can make a game where you shoot monsters but no blood or gore is present.

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.

You want to know an example of a creative on rail shooter? Take Bit Trip. Fate as an example.

Anyway, I just haven't found a shooting game that interests me. I am looking for a shooting game that has a variety of different worlds with each one introducing something new (if that makes any sense). However, I do not want to play a game with any blood and gore in it. If there is a shooting game like that. Please tell me.

I hate how they pretty much dominate the video game industry nowadays.

Actually, they don't. You want to know what the top 2 best video game selling franchises in the world are? Mario and Pokemon. COD is like, 5-10. LOL ROTFL. And don't counter this statement by saying: Oh, well lots of the fans are from Japan, because everything is fair when it comes to worldwide.

EDIT: As for replay value, I've actually replayed my pokemon games a thousand thousand thousand million times (I know it's not a number). I tried to replay a shooting game and couldn't. Shooting games suck away minds that like to play Nintendo where I live. Then those kids grow older and play Xbox more than Nintendo, when there's a lot more details in video games Nintendo makes. I would actually like to turn into one of those people and see why they do it. And there is a lot of shooting games without gore and stuff I can name, but I'll just give an example.

Ever heard of Link: Crossbow training? I'm pretty sure there's no gore in that. Correct me if I'm wrong, haven't played it in awhile.

The aiming.

 

[WeiMoote]

Heck, just trying to play one is out of my league.

I tried playing CoD 2 Zombies, got killed in ten seconds.

...Yeah, never rely on me to survive a zombie outbreak.

I didn't. I said you wouldn't be able to tell any difference unless you played them. I have never played them so I don't know the difference.

Okay so admitting to being extremely biased cool. I can assure you Mass effect and l4d are light years away in terms of gameplay.

I know, but most of those are Japan-only and/or arcade-only

You've said it yourself you don't like many shooters and you don't play them how would you know?

Actually, you can make a game where you shoot monsters but no blood or gore is present.

But you go on to say that's there's no such game like this

However, I do not want to play a game with any blood and gore in it. If there is a shooting game like that. Please tell me.

which is it? Blood and gore are used to add "realism" if you shoot someone in real life there will be blood.

You want to know an example of a creative on rail shooter? Take Bit Trip. Fate as an example.

One of a 1,000,000.

In closing I don't care if you don;t like shooters that's your opinion all I'm saying is there variety and I'm sorry you're scared of blood.

As a girl gamer I've been told, and noticed myself, I have a good natural talent for shooting games. Going as far as to confound very seasoned Halo players in college when I picked up a controller for the first time. However I cannot stand shooting games because of the nature of what you're doing. You're killing other "people" over and over and over to "win", usually accompanied by a lot of stress and who'd even play without all the gore? Give me a fighting game that's clean (Super Smash Bros for instance) and I'll mop your sorry butt all over the floor with giddy laughter but I'll pass on the shooting games!

Again, since everyone apparently ignored me. There's shooting games without gore, including enemies that aren't humans. And I don't think you could mop my butt, lol. I've played every Super Smash Bros. game ever and still have a 90% win ratio online.

I play a lot of FPS and enjoy them, I love the competitive nature they bring out and the noticeable increase in skill over time with certain games. I enjoy both fast past ones such as the newer Battlefields and slow pace tactical ones such as ARMA. I especially love competitive ladder play with clans and teams.

I feel a lot of people dont enjoy the genre because a bit of a fear of competition/conflict and confrontation with other players. I know I usually a bit nervous when I start a new one because I'm worried about being out skilled, but it soon passes when you start playing it and getting a hang of the controls and nuances of the game. The genre is incredible fun to play with friends as well. Games are usually fast to get into and aren't particularly long so if you dont have much time to play games, it works.

The only thing I dont seem to like about the genre is the number of hackers/script kiddies it attracts.

Teammates killing teammates and CHILDREN playing.

Link's Crossbow Training is a glorified tech demo. Try again.

 

[Gizmodo]

The only "shooting" game i actually play is Left 4 Dead & Left 4 Dead 2 :L

Ok, whatever, prove my example wrong if that makes you feel better. There's thousands of video games in the world and I'm sure there's still one without gore and enemy people

EDIT: Ok then, what about the Wii Archery? That's technically a part of a video game, and you're shooting targets, not people.

 

[Gizmodo]

Portal isn't necessarily a shooting game, but you still do shoot and that has no violence
Point Blank is another shooting game with no violence

But yeah most do thats the whole point of shooting, it will involve violence

 

[xxkaylabby]

i love shooting games. i just get scared and nervous with the whole violent thing. the shooters i play are the last of us, tomb raider, and uncharted. tomb raider and uncharted aren't scary tho.

That didn't go as I expected... To identify the two guys in my post, the guy on the right is supposed to be Derpy NPC Enemy. The guy on the left is me.

 

[CrackFox]

I don't hate shooting games really. I hate that I suck at them. My reflexes are never as good as my opponents and that's always really annoying. They tend to have a lot less about them than games driven by storyline and characters. They do lack in that respect.

 

[darkzero]

Visual Clutter/Visual Noise. It's nice if a game has pretty graphics but if the game's effects are getting in the way of the game, It's simply not a very fun shooter. See: Battlefield 3.

 

[Lurrdoc]

I hate playing FPS on anything, but a computer. I hate playing it on a controller. I can't do it, rofl. I probably have better aim in real life than in an FPS when using a controller.

 

[BeckTheMayor]

I hate when my classmates who cry everytime I kill them...Then ragequit and try to beat me up the next day at school (I just flip them and walk away)
