Winged marshmallow to the Sherbet Kingdom, FTW
Seriously, developers really need to stop trying to emulate the Halo formula. Halo really isn't that great of an FPS.
Halo is not the do-all-end-all of FPS. Half-Life and Half-Life 2 are way better and more fun to play online. My problem with FPS games today is that there is a total lack of innovation. I loved FPS games when they were first introduced and still like them today. I am just waiting for some innovation in the genre. Half-Life 2 was the last time I saw any innovation in an FPS game. I grow tired of the same old formula. Yahtzee I am with you all the way on this one. - LiquidIse, on 03/19/2008, -5/+129Except that todays XKCD is about as good as, say, banging a tree
- joey368, on 03/19/2008, -5/+1255. Stop zooming in to the backs of people's heads to show we are taking control of them. Ouch, a burn for Goldeneye 007.
- shadeOfGrey, on 03/19/2008, -5/+117But if you bring back health meters then you need to bring back health packs. Then the game turns into a silly scavenger hunt. If the game is balanced well (Call of Duty) then I enjoy not worrying about maintaining my health. I feel more like I'm just trying to avoid death rather than calculating how much damage I'm going to take.
- Misinformant, on 03/19/2008, -11/+115Everyone wants to spill my blood when I say Halo is overrated, but its omfgawesomelol when Yahtzee says so.
- double051, on 03/19/2008, -18/+117Wednesday: Zero Puncuation + xkcd FTW
- SirGir, on 03/19/2008, -3/+93On end of video: "Smash Bros Brawl doesn't even have an Australian release date yet so shut up"
That is horrible. - Accolade1, on 03/19/2008, -7/+93Har Har Har Raucaus laughter.
- h4mx0r, on 03/19/2008, -16/+88Yahtzee educates us.
Take notes class! (and bring back health meters goddamnit) - Lokishot, on 03/19/2008, -3/+64You need to have a higher level charisma to say that.
- GuerillaC, on 03/19/2008, -2/+61Well we know it's not Tuesday: http://isittuesday.com/
- inactive, on 03/19/2008, -6/+64RIP the health meter. Kids have it too easy these days.
- Keiotic, on 03/19/2008, -3/+59"Smash Brothers Brawl doesn't even have an Australian release date yet so shut up". Poor Yahtzee.
- thejamabides, on 03/19/2008, -1/+57Goldeneye gets a pass as it was probably the first to do this in a 1st person shooter.
- Prombar, on 03/19/2008, -17/+65DUGG for Halo really isn't that great of an FPS.
- WhereAmI, on 03/19/2008, -4/+52Dugg for a C- in Halo 3.
- shadeOfGrey, on 03/19/2008, -0/+47This gun is just fabulous.
- Ashkc88, on 03/19/2008, -7/+49Gears of War is not an FPS.
- unicronband, on 03/19/2008, -2/+42Also, South Park.
- Neo829, on 03/19/2008, -0/+35I think you mean flare guns, not "flair guns." Though that does create a somewhat humorous visual.
- theaceoffire, on 03/19/2008, -0/+31Australian's Wii is bigger.
- BlueSkyfish, on 03/19/2008, -0/+31We need to chip in and get him an American Wii.
- YellowSnowDemon, on 03/19/2008, -10/+40Oh, how I miss good Turok games. Turok 2 was amazing. I want a cerebral bore.
- tfletch, on 03/19/2008, -7/+37***** that yahtzee... Nobody makes fun of Goldeneye 007. You're making fun of my youth sir.
- leerayIG88, on 03/19/2008, -33/+63PC > Console.
- fifthecho, on 03/19/2008, -1/+28While it's technically a Third-Person shooter, the controls function as if it was a FPS and the lack of any ability to really rotate the camera unless you turn Cole/Marcus, well...you know what they say...if it smells like an FPS, feels like an FPS, and tastes like an FPS, it's probably an FPS.
- directrix13, on 03/19/2008, -6/+32Yeah PC does redirect its standard output to console. What's your point?
- panickedthumb, on 03/19/2008, -6/+31Well, apparently you guys didn't think it was funny :)
There's a joke from BTVS, someone tells Buffy that her sister has been captured, and she says "Must be Tuesday" which is the day the show aired, Basically saying that Dawn gets captured every episode. I was trying to reference that joke, and I failed. Miserably apparently :)
But hey, bury me all you want, I get to watch a new ZP when I get home so I'm happy :) - oderdigg, on 03/19/2008, -0/+25Which is why Portal kicked so much ass.
- Scrappy1850, on 03/19/2008, -1/+24you listen slow
- thomascirca, on 03/19/2008, -2/+24You're dead on with the lack of innovation. It seems like every FPS game follows the same routine storyline and action sequences. I'd like to see someone blow the standard formula to pieces (like Bioshock)- FPS games are beginning to go downhill now that everyone plays them.
- shcforward, on 03/19/2008, -0/+22.....the gimmick is explained pretty accurately in the title.
- Dustmuffins, on 03/19/2008, -0/+21I like F.E.A.R's health meter, where if you fall below 25%, it will recharge to 25%.
- Pr0v0st, on 03/19/2008, -0/+20It just takes longer.
- insllvn, on 03/19/2008, -0/+20You know, the Nazi's had pieces of flair they made the Jews wear...
- hipnotyq, on 03/19/2008, -0/+19Dugg for Blood, the first game to include voodoo dolls, hairspray and flair guns as weapons!
- woodychris, on 03/19/2008, -2/+21I completely forgot about Bioshock. It really is one of the better more recent FPS games. Still, it got slammed because of the lack of multiplayer. I couldn't see multiplayer in Bioshock anyways. It would just be a battle of plasmids. The developers were right to leave it out in the first place. But, the reason most companies are pumping FPS games out the door, is because they want to get into the Multiplayer arena. This is the only reason Halo did as good as it did. The story was meh, the graphics on Halo 3 were sub-par, and it didn't bring anything fresh to the genre. As long as people buy these, "By the Numbers", FPS games, there will be no innovation.
- duckonquack, on 03/19/2008, -4/+23When did Digg become a RSS feed?
- t2t2, on 03/19/2008, -9/+27Let me check... Umm yes.
- inactive, on 03/19/2008, -4/+22Hitler missed one.
- nbcaffeine, on 03/19/2008, -0/+17and 21380480293 other games
- theaceoffire, on 03/19/2008, -1/+17The most recent trick is to make the screen go red or gray, make the sound go fuzzy, and blur the vision. The worse it gets, the closer to death you are... it really adds to the "AHHH I AM GONNA DIE" feeling.
- oboredone, on 03/19/2008, -2/+18Maybe I'm alone, but I liked the first Turok. The second one, eh, not so much.
- fifthecho, on 03/19/2008, -0/+16A bit bland nowadays with a hint of plastic and blood.
- JudgeMonkey, on 03/19/2008, -0/+16I gotta say. I don't mind the old zoom in through the head move.
- robotderek42, on 03/19/2008, -0/+14GoldenEye 007 was ten years ago. I think he meant more recent games.
And don't ***** with GoldenEye. In the words of Katt Williiams "THAT"S MY *****!" - inactive, on 03/19/2008, -7/+21***** you, i'm jewish.
- Slique22, on 03/19/2008, -0/+14"What, do the characters auto heal at some absurd rate, and only several bites from a dinosaur in quick succession, or a hail of gunfire, or a grenade, or maybe a t-rex chomping on you, will kill you? And the rest, you just heal from? If so, I agree with yahtzee, that sounds incredibly stupid."
Whereas walking over a small red and white package for instant medical care makes absolutely perfect sense. - RuthlessPirate, on 03/19/2008, -3/+17Also, Penny Arcade
