I guess for the same reason that people like to come in threads I like, but thread they personally don't, to show personal disgust towards female characters, young characters, otaku, anime, shoot em' ups, and Japanese video games in general.Vigormortis said:
I would normally prefer to post in threads I care about. And ignore ones I don't. But I do not appear to be able to do that. The Escapist only appears to be interested in talking about the around %10 I do not much care for or even outright dislike. And when I make a thread about something different, they flame it endlessly. I only really have the option of being a dissenter, it would appear. So I had might as well be dissenting as possible and not pull back my punches. Maybe if I'm as negative towards Western gaming as people are towards Eastern gaming, the mods will get angry enough at me to permaban me and you won't have to worry about it anymore. I'm honestly tired of being nice. Playing nice doesn't work.
You see threads like this? This is what tends to dominate the first page. What chance to I have to ignore them unless I leave the site permanently?

I also found this quote I dug up from an archive on virtually the same thread quite relevant.
" Also Op is very suspicious, only put few games up, acts nonchalant about it, never responds to any ones post about it, so yeah, No one else post here, or at least don't post about what you think is "the best Video Game" because it likely isn't what OP put up on the options, and your just feeding him if you complain about how not one of your top ten got in the list, or how you must show off your selection of favorites because others did the same. At least in this thread, no one cares what your top ten or five our eight favorite games are. Every one else is too busy complaining about OP, or posting there own top games hoping some one quotes them, or references them, or argues with them.
Please, just let this thread die with the million other flame bait "favorite video game" threads
-Thank you "
Battlefield and Call of Duty have been getting worse the older they get so those are out. For MP FPS's? I'll say Killzone. Killzone 2 mind you; Killzone 3 was an abomination.
SP:
Bioshock
Left 4 Dead
Metro 2033
Deus Ex
Half Life (Though I think it's overrated)

Well, have you seen me do that? Pretty sure I haven't. Unless, of course, someone hacked my account or I've been sleep-posting. Man, that would be weird. <.<LilithSlave said:
Anyway, I know how you feel. Believe me, I get annoyed with the Escapist community from time to time as well. Usually when it's the same group of people posting the same "complaining/whining/bitching" threads over-and-over-and-over again. (Like the weekly "Steam sucks" threads, or the monthly "Fuck COD", or the flood of similar threads during a new game release (like Skyrim or ME3))
Just remind yourself that not all of us are like that. Some of us understand the concepts of differing opinions. And, the concept of not shoving our opinions down others throats. (or telling them they're wrong for liking/not-liking the same things as us)

This poll may just be the worst ever in history. Just how many FPS's do you think there are? You havent inclued any of the true great ones, only mainstream series...
Serious Sam 3: BFE currently sits at the top of my list, but bring up the rear are the Half-Life series, the Crysis series, the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series, Team Fortress 2, Codemaster's phenomenal Black, the Painkiller series, and Killing Floor.
Goldeneye should never be on the top 10 of anyones list because there's 2 bloody sequels to the game that are better in every way. Timesplitters, made by the same guys, same gameplay elements, just a lot more stuff.
Top shooters...uhh..
Timesplitters 2 & FP
Team Fortress 2
Metro 2033
Red Faction 2

I generally dislike FPSs with the exception of the Metroid Prime trilogy and possibly Resistance: Fall Of Man
Ummm, hate to point out the obvious but why not float around multiple forums? Its what I do, I like roleplaying games, this forum doesn't talk about roleplaying very much but I'll chime in on topics im interested in every now and again (though the poll has hurt any discussion value here). That way you have a larger information pool to float around and only have to comment on topics you actually like. Droping zero content posts dont help anyone.LilithSlave said:
I dont think people here inherently hate anything japanese, I believe people like different things and feel the need to comment on them, like you did here but take other threads that show up and dont get much interest. The Eve Online thread that popped up, it was clear there wasnt much interest and it disappeared. Thats how the vast majority of threads work. I like Eve Online and was sad to see it drop off so quickly but that teaches me this forums isnt really interested in that kind of stuff.
Taking the assumption people actively hate certain topics and they are the topics you like. You dont need to post and talk about them at all. I know from experience the vast majority of things I like isn't shared by people I know or many forums of visit so I don't bring them up in conversation too often.
I know this may sound preachy but your not exactly doing yourself any favours acting like this.
Phew, i was just starting to get worried at the lack of timesplitters in this threadFuhrlock said:
Still... it took 24 posts? God dammit! Gotta make this right, with time travel!
Of the ones there, call of duty
Specifically cod 4 and not it's sequels
Halo trumps cod 4 me
Half life 2 trumps halo
Half Life trumps it's sequel even though I played it after
Battlefield 1942 was awesome
and golden eye 007 was the best fps of it's time but has aged pretty badly

It's been said before, but you really need to expand that list. Seriously.
Anyway, I would say my favorite FPS would be hands-down Call of Duty 4. Say what you will about its sequels but Call of Duty 4's campaign was intense and exciting right from the get-go. I will probably never forget the awesomeness of All Ghillied Up or being driven to my own execution in the beginning of the game. Not to mention that at the time, CoD4's multiplayer was unique and extremely addictive.
After that, I would say either BioShock(1) or Portal. I say Portal is an FPS because it's in first person and there's a gun in your hands. The only thing is that the focus isn't putting bullets in things and the gun shoots portals.

i will end this thread with this awesome that is Unreal Tournament, which has been mentioned once or twice already(to those people i will say: damn ninjas!!!)
