Can someone explain to me why First Person Shooters are so popular?

Crysis was fun because of the plot.

I haven't played a call of duty game since COD 3. Not Modern Warfare 3, not Black Ops 3... Call of Duty when it was still a WW2 sim.

First swagnificent post/thread I ever agree with...I just cant fukk with FPS anymore especially with how oversaturated they are. I download the odd one on PC if its well reviewed but other than that :yeshrug:

eh to each his own I didn't like FPS that much either (I still don't) but I'll play, like someone said playing certain games with people you know makes it that much more fun. I played Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 because I promised myself I would prestige at least once but after running with cool people I played long enough to become a prestige master.

i think the Rise of the fps is the reason I don't play games as much...they feel repetitive and disconnected to me for some reason. And then the games like uncharted which give you some platforming to do end up being linear movies. Metal gear solid is awesome even though they have a lot of cut scenes i enjoy the tempo and the stealth aspect. God of war series is awesome too with the puzzle solving. I think Gears of war is the right mix for a shooter i remember that multiplayer being pretty fun back in the day, graphics incredible and you felt like you really controlled that character.

Playing a fps just doesn't feel like the movement is natural to me...i can see fps being more enjoyable with Oculus Rift because its actually you controlling the movements. Its probably why keyboard and mouse players can't dig the controller because it takes away realism and control since your thumb and joystiq won't react as quickly as your natural hand movement could
