You guys need to stop over-analyzing the games. If it's got a camera over your head and you have a gun, it's a third person shooter.

Dead Space. Third Person Shooter.
Grand Theft Auto. Third Person Shooter.
Saints Row. Third Person Shooter.
Resident Evil. Third Person Shooter.

There's really no debate.

No you didn't, you just pointed out that "they're 3rd person and you shoot most of the time, there fore they must be TPS".

Seriously, are you fucking mentally challenged or something? Are you trying to say, that before I interrupted your multi-spam spree, you were NOT discussing "the definition of a TPS"? Then what is it exactly, that you were talking about?


@WestHybrid: Go to Wikipedia or some other place where you can see what genre a game is, and look up those games. Sure enough, maybe half the games have TPS mentioned, but never as the primary genre, and on the other half not even mentioned.

Super Mega King wrote:Grand Theft Auto is definitely not a third person shooter though I can see where you're coming from. The GTA series isn't built around the shooting mechanics and shooting

WHAT thats some buuuuuulllllllshhiiiiiiit. sure its open world, but what are you doing for easily 90% of the game besides driving? hell you can even shoot while driving.

I was trying to create a distinction between games that are true third-person shooters like Gears of War or Spec Ops and games that simply incorporate shooting elements like open-world Rockstar games.

In "true" third-person shooters, the game is built around the shooting, and the shooting drives the gameplay forward. In Gears of War, if you aren't shooting, then you're moving to the next segment where you DO shoot. Same for Spec Ops. That's why they're "true" third-person shooters.

In the GTA games, there's a lot more to the games than a series of shooting segments. There's an open world to explore, driving, activities, etc etc... the point being that while third person shooting IS a major factor in the game, the game isn't designed as a third person shooter. It's an adventure game that takes elements from arcade racers and third-person shooters, hence it being more aptly described as an "action-adventure."

But yeah, you're right, something can be a blend of genres. A survival horror game like Dead Space can use elements of a third person shooter, and it does. I just wanted to stress that the games I generally don't like (and I targeted a bit in my post) was TRUE third-persons like I first described, and not action-adventure, survival horror, blah blah blah.

i never directly stated what the definition was...you implied you know what it is. btw are you sure you're not throwing the tantrum?

btw that wasn't my last post you referenced...good job.

and west's article is from WIKI...are you mentally challanged?

Clearly the brick lodged in the back of your skull is stopping the reception of thoughts to your brain. I JUST gave you textbook definition of a TPS. It doesn't matter if it's primary or not. It's still the genre of the game, and can be defined by it accordingly.

I'll give you the equation again.

Game A has shooting. Game A also has a third person camera. Therfore Game A is a TPS. It may also be a fantasy, or an action adventure, but the underline fact of the matter is that it's still a God damned TP-fucking-S.

SMK put it pretty well. TPS as a genre is pretty damn well defined, and none of those games really fit that definition. Then there are broader genres, like action-adventure, where TPS is just a part of another, broader genre. That doesn't make the whole fucking game/genre into a TPS. That's like saying every game that requires any thinking at all is a strategy game.

Look, you didn't really say shit until I pointed out that (IMO) you're wrong. Only after that you started saying "but what i meant was... and i meant it all along!". So either you have a really hard time expressing yourself, or you're just making shit up as you go.

ok i clearly stated that I think gta, mass effect, and gears can all be credited as TPS's because of their perspectives. HOWEVER, a game can still have other genres...where did i flip flop from that?

and i will admit my response to deadape damaged my own arguement a bit. but i refuse to have you hoist me by it to dodge the point

You never said that (the bit in bold). Not until I mentioned it, in which event you started insisting that's what you meant all along. And THEN you insisted you weren't even talking about what defines a TPS.

Disregard my previous post, it was really overcrediting you by saying you actually made something up. All you've done is said "but that's not what I meant, so you're wrong and I'm right" over and over again without any actual arguments.

you had hard evidence posted in your face and you blantantly ignored it dude...and then tried to tell the kid that posted to cite the very source he just slammed you with. Now obviously I could have conveyed my opinion better, but you'r still only dodging point by turning this in to a debate about the portayal of my argument.

this is obviously working up more then one person so lets just agree to disagree huh?

Someone else explaining his opinion after the argument had already begun, and you going "oh yeah... that makes sense... yeah, that's totally what I meant all along too!" is your idea of hard evidence?

But oh well, it is pretty pointless now.
