I'd say Quake and DOOM have more in common with Metroid Prime than they do with Call of Duty or any other modern FPS, and nobody would doubt those are First Person Shooters. |

If Gilgamesh and Shirou qualify as "Archers" with the Gate of Babylon and UBW as their signature moves, then surely we can all consider the possibility that "shooter" can refer to more than just guns. (This is an unpopular opinions thread, right?) |

Prime I'd say is an FPS, to the point that others actually took notes. However, like borderlands, it's easily argued to be a hyrbid genre game - Half FPS, half... well, I guess you'd call it metroidvania? @Nell: Genres aren't much an opinion thing, but I do appreciate the shot of humor. ^-^ |

FPS = First person shooter. Skyrim = First person with the ability to shoot things. Skyrim = FPS. |

RPG = Role-playing game. Sonic the Hedgehog = Game in which you play the role of a character. Sonic the Hedgehog = RPG. |

I think your conception of genre is pretty severely limited, Role. There's a lot of haze around the edges, especially when companies deliberately incorporate aspects of other genres. Also, please watch your tone. Whenever you say "I don't mean to be condescending," it pretty much implies that you know you're being condescending but are going to keep on ahead anyway (otherwise, why say anything at all?). Secondly, you set up a strawman of "when you're calling Skyrim an FPS," which -- if you're still talking to Silvy -- he never said.
Silvy didn't say that it's an FPS, but rather that you can make it to play like a blended RPG/FPS, and that there were more similarities than just the camera angle. Magic selection and your bow choice would be your loadout, though the gameplay would be more like a sniper than anything. You could maybe argue that because your enemies don't always use ranged attacks it's not an FPS, but no one's saying that it's 100% an FPS. But you crouch or take cover, aim your reticule, fire, reload (either with mana recovering or by fitting one of your limited stock of arrows), there are physics that account for how your shot travels on some shots (like a grenade launcher) but not with magic, and you have a melee attack if enemies get too close. One of the most satisfying things in stuff like Gears of War and Bioshock is using your melee attack. It might not be a FPS, but I think what everyone is saying is that it has some FPS-like aspects. |

I'm sure there was a hybrid term for first person melee centric gameplay... |

I said Sonic the Hedgehog, not the Sonic series of games. I can be a pedant too, Miral. |

I have known issues with my inability to properly convey tone online. I was actually trying to make sure they knew I wasn't trying to talk down to him or to be offensive in my post. In addition, this was more of a reply to the overall discussion, not a reply specifically to Sanae. |

Hey, so here's an FPS that uses wands and spell-casting instead of guns and military shit! http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2015/01/12/the-last-best-of-2014-ziggurat/ |

Visually it reminds me a lot of Metroid Prime. Though after watching the gameplay trailer, the boss fights seem to be very attrition-based. Still, watching for a sale, it looks interesting. |
