its first person, and you shoot people gee idk

>game is 1st person
>gameplay is primarily shooting things
>game is not 1st person shooter
nigga what

How are you even alive you daft motherfucker?

Well you shoot enemies with guns from a first person perspective. It seems right

usually aiming is a prerequisite in first person shooters, not in overwatch though

i think overwatch is more like a "first person mouse draggler"

kill yourself

>draggler

go fap to sfm porn and play your dying game nerd

Oh, I must have forgotten all the pinpoint aiming you had to do in fucking Doom

your next line is: shitty battleborn trol!!!!

retard

aiming is a prereq for all good FPS's user

doesnt the game have to use guns to be a FPS?

If overwatch is a FPS, then what is Reindhart shooting?

>an Eff Pee Ess

>good
>FPS
>moving the goal posts, adding conditions

no one said anything about GOOD fps in this thread, faggot. only fps in general. a bad fps is still a fps you aspie fuck.

>stillborn shills still posting this webm

$0.02 has been deposited into your account

game can't have aim assist if it's an FPS, OW is a weird FPMOBA

maybe i main hanzo now

alright overwatch shitters this is a lightning gun. No, its not like Winston's lightning gun because you actually have to *aim* this one. I know that aiming might come as a shock to you guys since most of the characters on your roster do not require it, but hey!

this has been a short lesson from someone who plays real FPS

>game can't have aim assist if it's an FPS

Doom confirmed for MOBA

what you like in FPS games does not define the genre, son.
newsflash: all console FPS games have aim assist to an extent

you're shit, for sure, but so is battleborn.

see you owe me 0.02 dollars for being such a predictable fuck

>game can't have aim assist if it's an FPS

literal autism

no one gives a fuck about your shit opinions of trivial shit, faggot. kys

how many DOOM threads have there been today mr overwatch shill?

>a Fups

What are you Australian or something?

>make an overwatch thread
>complain about overwatch threads
You are digging your hole deeper with each post. It's fascinating

Because it's first person, and you shoot.

There's 1 on the first page right now.

I don't even own Overwatch, Blizzard is a shit company that can't balance for dick, but you're a retard.

what the fuck does this have to do with anything? if I call Myst a puzzle game, am I shilling it?

>all console FPS games have aim assist to an extent

no they dont

>shoot

dont call what happens in overwatch shooting, its more like triggering

user stop

they do lad, go to options for each of them, Overwatch had one

the majority of them do

sorry faggot. no one give a fuck about ur hardcore mlg 360 noscope shit.

It's babby's first FPS, but it's still an FPS

yeah overwatch has it because its not an FPS. no FPS has auto aiming because that defeats the purpose of the game, its achieved through hacking only by trolls

Triggering a press on left mouse button, that's what shooting is in FPS games

literally none of them do. name me one FPS that has auto aiming

>Halo
>Call of Duty
>Borderlands
>Bioshock
>CSGO

I'd list more but I don't pay attention to consoleshit these days.

aim assist and auto-aim are two different things, my friend

This is what it looks like when a game is released on console without Auto-aim

not my thread you autistic retard. i know telling other user's apart might be hard, it sure is easier back on your favorite website reddit right?

looking in the general direction of something and triggering a magic spell is not an FPS

no that is what it looks like when you hire people who dont play videogames to review and complain about videogames

OW=Battleborne

Why are you in the fucking thread then? At least OP had some sort of a point, all you have is screaming "SHILL" in a thread that is not even shilling. Fuck off retard.

except literally none of those do. why are you bothering to lie like this?

golden eye
UT dreamcast
battlefield 3 ps3

they all have aim assist. ur a faggot.

Post that webm where widow was killed with a bow.

>dont play videogames
>they're very obviously playing a videogame in that webm

I mean it's a shitty one

but it's still a FPS, just because a game is made so even the mentally challenged can play it doesn't mean it isn't a FPS

According to your arbitrary definition, DOOM, one of the most influential FPS games, is not an FPS game. I'm like the 4th user that points that out, get your head out of your ass, faggot.

>first person view
>shooting guns
Gee I don't know.

aim assist is a form of auto aim. its a spectrum. it doens't have to be a straight lockon like metroid prime or something. all aim assists is auto aim but not all auto aim is aim assist.

>CSGO
>autoaim
More like auto-inaccuracy.
youtube.com/watch?v=v0rlCJ047Ds

is deus ex a fps?
system shock
mirror's edge
metroid prime

all fps by your definition

Shilling is even worse when you do it for free, user.

there is no auto aiming in any of those.

the auto-aim in Overwatch is akin to if you used an aimbot in a game like COD or Halo. its cheating. it can't be an FPS if the game cheats itself, if its so easy knowing the timing and character powers is more important than the ability to aim. thats the entire point of an FPS. thats why OW is not an FPS

yes

jesus christ you're fucking daft

yes those are all fps games user

I mean where she's jumping. It was more hillarious.

>he bought memelands

...

more like
>he googled "borderlands aim assist"

and borderlands isnt an FPS either so be on your way

but they are not

deus ex and system shock is an fprpg
mirror's edge is an action game
metroid prime is a 3d metroidvania

am I being baited or are you dumb

>borderlands isn't an FPS either
This board is full of fucking retards.

jesus christ you're fucking daft [2]

.>fprpg
that's not a genre, that's a sound that your sweaty asscheeks make when you've eaten too much Taco Bell

There's a difference between aim assist and auto aim you sperg

>silver level badge
old as fuck patch. hotboxes have been fixed.

>First-person shooter (FPS) is a video game genre centered on gun and projectile weapon-based combat through a first-person perspective; that is, the player experiences the action through the eyes of the protagonist.

>bought
Implying. Also moving goalpost like a faggot you are. Not surprised.

but it is

if fprpg is not a genre then arpg, srpg or turn-based rpg aren't genres either

>is it FIRST
Yes
>is it for PERSONS
Yes
>is it a SHOOTER
Yes.
So it is a fucking first person shooter you fucking retard.
Go back to crying about nostalrius.
ain't even mad

when people say Cred Forums is shit it's because of retarded posts like these

that's called a FPS/RPG hybrid
which means it's an FPS

no?

is skyrim an fps, then?

seriously
>85 posts arguing over complete semantics

>it's not an FPS! It's some random term I came up with!
>I'm not a man! I'm some random term I came up with!
So this is special snowflake syndrome.

NO TDM, NOT AN FPS

>This thread

not him, but basically yes

This. Plus it has heroes that have abilities so it's for sure a MOBA.

This triggers the blizzdrones

well then I guess you guys are fucking retarded

oh well

>complete semantics
not really
more like definition vs connotation
an FPS is a well-defined genre, but someone doesn't want their special snowflake shooter grouped in with the rest of the plebs

what a retarded analogy.
Skyrim has FPS mechanics, yes, if that's what you mean. But the gameplay isn't centred around shooting people with guns, so no, it's not an FPS

There is. Its called Skirmish mode. Now what the game really needs is DM.

>gameplay isn't centred around shooting people with guns
but I can shoot people with arrows, ice spikes, balls of flame and electricity

>skyrim is an FPS to OW players

>Deus Ex is centered around shooting people
>System Shock is centered around shooting people
>Mirror's edge is centered around shooting people

did you even played those games, any of them?

yes, but it's completely arbitrary and does not define the game

saying overwatch isn't an FPS is like saying smash bros isn't a fighting game

i don't own OW
but it's kind of obvious that it's a first person shooter as soon as you equip a bow

All these games have FPS elements that are restricted due to the influence of other genre factors. They are all partially FPS. Instead of inventing new genres whenever you want, they can be perfectly described by already existing ones.

I wasn't the guy that used these games as examples. I'm talking about Overwatch.

>it's completely arbitrary
not really, archery and magic make up a huge amount of gameplay, perks, strategy, and even choosing which followers will match your style

Whats with redditors and how they think that every time they get a reply then it has to be from the same person they were talking to initially?

Then again I *am* in a redditgame general so whatever.

first person RPG has been a genre for 20 years, you literally retard

right but you aren't required to use them in any part of the game, which is pretty much what arbitrary means

Most do have minor aim assist

>just because an oval looks like a circle let's just call it a circle lol

let's call pear apples, i mean they are the same thing right

>first person draggler

id say that user is a genius user

Skyrim and games like it are defined by their RPG format more than their classes and weapons. If you want to break it down into tiny pieces then yes, it IS an FPS but no one is retarded enough to call it that since it has a more defined genre as a fantasy RPG. You have to look at the sum of a game's parts before defining it wholly.

In Overwatch's case, there's no real story or roleplaying factor. No progression either. It's just an arena where you shoot others and use abilities. That's why it's an arena FPS.

overwatch is many things: an fps is not one of them.

>you aren't required to use them
well you aren't required to use a gun in TF2 either but that doesn't make it any less an FPS

The fuck are you talking about? Halo has an option in its menu that toggles aim assist.

pretty sure the people calling Overwatch an FPS are the same people saying LoZ isn't an RPG series, just ignore them (´・ω・`)

said one person in a world population of 7.4 billion

Yes. They have other elements thrown in
.

Fucking this. Every time you see someone post "not him, but" it's because of reddit invaders who are too autistic to understand who they are talking to. People having to clarify that they are "not him" is a sure sign of reddit invaders.

but that's wrong

popularity=/=truth

It's a mix between an fps and rpg

First person?
Check
Shooter?
Check.

Overwatch is most certainly an FPS. I don't know how you could think 1 + 1 isn't 2.

that's not what he meant, and the fact that you can't grasp that means you need to stop posting

If you're not shooting guns in TF2, you're not utilizing 80% of the game's mechanics.
If you're not using magic or arrows in Skyrim, you're not utilizing maybe 30-40% of the game's mechanics. There's your difference between an FPS and a non-FPS.

>this thread
Y'all niggas are being rused.

People that play overwatch do not play FPS genre, people that play FPS genre do not play overwatch. Why do you think that is Overshills?

...

ikr this is like the whole "consumer of media" bait argument

You CAN but its not centered around it. Melee is what the majority of combat will be

Because every person in this world is different and have different likes and dislikes? What a goddamn surprise.

what did he mean then user

But that post wasn't from the original poster. You stupid monkey faggot :) I dunno why you think you've responded to the same person.

ITT: reddit trolls reddit on Cred Forums with great success

to me this is undeniable proof that Overwatch shills and blizzdrones exist beyond a shadow of a doubt. Even when confronted with the most hilarious bogus bait threads they still feel the need to defend their shitty dying casual game. No doubt some of the posters here are being paid for it, too, because I can't imagine this many people would willingly try to argue against this topic seriously.

Overwatch is a MOBA because it's a massive online battle arena with abilities and ultimates. And it certainly is a MOBA although it lacks creep, items, jungle, towers, in game gold, in game levels.

are you retarded

Never played Mirror's Edge but the others are very much FPS. They're just not referred to as such because they have more defining genres that they fit into.

It's the whole "a square is a square and a rectangle is also a square since they both have 4 sides". It's called a rectangle because it's a more defining description.

It technically is a first person shooter. The viewpoint is in first person (most of the time) and you shoot stuff (most of the time).

so then you would agree that OW is more a moba than a FPS

because if we go by this it kinda falls down in both genres to some extent

Yes, those are all FPS games.

Deus Ex blends in RPG elements, Overshill blends in MOBA elements, and Mirror's Edge (as of the latest iteration) is no longer an FPS because you don't shoot people in it.

user you just don't get it. A game has to fit only 10% of the genre defining criteria to be considered that genre, and that genre alone. It meets 99% of FPS arena shooter criteria? That doesn't mean shit, because it only barely fits into the MOBA criteria.

In short, every user in here is "trolling" and are laughing about how they think you think they are stupid. Truly, being fucking retarded is the way to a higher self.

i still don't get how do you people define Deus Ex more as a FPS than a RPG

i'd argue it's more a RPG with FPS mechanics rather than a FPS with RPG but most of the OWfags disagree

It a god damn console fps and a bad one at that

>waaah some characters don't have to aim not fair!!

Deus Ex IS more of an RPG with FPS mechanics, but to just straight out say "Deus Ex is not an FPS" is wrong.

Same with Overshill. It's a MOBA that's played as an FPS. It's primarily a MOBA, but you can't just say "lol it's not an FPS at all"

Dirty Bomb is miles better.

But DED

It falls into both genres. It's a bit of a toss-up, so you could honestly call Overwatch whichever. However, what you can't say is that Overwatch isn't an FPS, becaquse whatever you decide to call it, the other is still true.

Unrelated, but where can I get one of these shirts?

I suddenly want to wear one, completely, totally unironically.

>it falls down in both genres

thats why its a bad game. if Vidya is steak, Overwatch is candy, its simple easy and designed for children

>food analogy
Always wrong and always hilarious.

wrong how

>Spent 50 hours playing Dirty Bomb
>Mechanically competent
>Light on content
>Nothing really wrong with it
>It just wasn't fun

Going form DB to the Overwatch beta reminded me what fun was, Dirty Bomb is solid, but it's kind of sterile.

heheh yeah I'd never play trash OW I'm a REAL fps player and if I did play it I'd be top rank because I'm skilled and playing a real fps years ago is proof of that

I'm gonna shove my draggler up your ass if you keep this up

>some characters

There is not a single character that requires aiming precision and superior tracking to win. Hitscan rets are gigantic for most guns, most played offensive character literally uses shotguns, etc.

doesnt take no skill user, doesnt take no aiming, just requires you to drag your pointer around without any target deadset in the middle of it. its a draggler not an FPS

you can play overwatch all you want and still be a REAL fps player, overwatch is so derivative from normal FPS that you wouldn't even be playing a "fake" fps. You just wouldnt be playing an FPS to begin with.

Hitscan in this game is quite precise. You can shoot all around a character model and not hit them, like trace their form with shots.

Holy fucking retard

So what is overwatch in your book of game definitions?

FPMOBA

wonderful bait user. literally 162 replies and counting.

take notes the rest of you stupid niggers

it isnt

Where are the creeps,lanes,in match gold, in match levels, jungle, towers, nexus,items,hero lock?

not an fps

I said it was an FPMOBA, not a *good* FPMOBA

What FPS do you play then, user?

Hitscan in this game is rather precise, but the majority of the characters are hulking, contorted masses of flesh that are VERY easy to hit with few exceptions. I enjoy Overwatch a lot but I am willing to admit how easy it is mechanics-wise compared to other FPS titles.

All of those games have aim assist in one way or another. Halo and CoD magnetize your your reticule towards targets, for instance.

Hanzo got his giant broken arrow hitboxes back you fucking moron

Jesus H Tittyfucking Christ, what happened to actually trying to bait? Good bait at least has some finesse.

This is just sad now.

>people butthurt that OW takes zero skill

probably the same cucks that play mobas

quake, etc. real fps's

>draggler

new meme

>moving goalposts

literally no one plays Quake anymore

vq3? cpm? qw? Duel? 4v4? ctf? CA? what you play boy

what does any of that shit even mean

What goalposts? You asked what I thought it fell under, its a FPMOBA. Just not a very good one.

its like you described Overwatch 4 months from now!

New Super Mario Bros' jumping doesn't require enough aim and precision so it's not a platformer.

This is you right now.

It's a fps moba

Play overwatch one on one. Is it still fun? If not, its a MOBA.

Take too much space gorilla dick tonight, OP?

AND DESTINY!!

nah bro I only play real fps that require skill. see OW is no skill and I would be too good at the game you see they'd probably have to ban me ROFL

>No reply
>tfw it's another "supposed FPS elitist pretends to play Quake" thread

nek urself my mann

>he calls The Hobbit a novel
explain your retardation, now.

Stuff that's in mobas and not in OW.

your next post will be a food analogy

how do you set a difficulty for a game revolving around besting the skill of other players?

>calling OW a FPS
>OW a FPS
>ow A fps
>a fps
>a f

Damn you retards should really stay in special ed.

So I guess TF2 is a MOBA now too? How about CoD? Or literally any multiplayer?

???

all those games mentioned are frequently played 1 on 1. i doubt if Overwatch even has the option

>calling Overwatch a first person shooter
>calling overwatch an first person shooter

>All of those games can only be played 1v1 in private sessions.
>Overwatch has private sessions, i.e. 1v1

What's it like to be this retarded?

>custom match
>showing that you never played the game
Wew

wikipedia is a really reliable source thank you
theres nothing elitist about playing quake you fucking retard and your attempt to throw out "slang" for fucking gamemodes is about as pathetic as people who call longest yard q3dm17 to look cool. this is your only reply from me.

>calling overwatch an fps
>calling overwatch a fps

Most characters shoot weapons. Even as Mercy, shooting the pistol is a major part unless you suck balls with her and just let yourself die to a 1 HP faggot.

Reinhardt doesn't shoot, yeah, and a few others are arguable. But if we're not counting launchers and beam weapons then you might as well just exclude Quake from the first person shooter genre too.

And Cred Forums definitions is reliable too.

>using a video game as an example in an argument about video games is comparable to using food analogies

Rein has the firestrike, which sorta needs to be aimed.

>shit threads have the most replies
why is this allowed

apparently more so than wiki

>This is your only reply from me
>Thing Cred Forumsirgins say when they can't continue a discussion or argument

>changing the sentence

Were you raised by a single mother?

>FPS
>destroying neural pathways with autist trigger-mashing

>people responded like this was a serious post

People are retarded and will fall for the most stupid bait. Just like you and me.

I see nothing wrong with the second one, unless you would like to point out why it's wrong.

Compared to what, an analogy about eating shit or niggers raping your wife?

I know, but I'm gonna give them even that. You don't have to aim with like three out of the 22 characters.

Yeah, why would anyone call a game where you shoot people in the first person a first person shooter?

>a wiki that can be edited by every blizzdrone and developer
sounds like it would be more biased yeah

This is the premise of a very bad sitcom
Go on, George, explain in depth why dragging the mouse where the enemy is, is not also aiming.

quake everyone starts out with a gun, okay? the guns all do the same thing. FPS don't have "heros" with special snowflake "abiltiies" and "ultimates". you know what does? MOBA

Hey I'm sorry it killed battleborn since you worked so hard on it, but that's no reason to be so defensive.

>But it's """ironic"""
This is why Cred Forums is shit.
Being retarded just brings more retards.

So now again, TF2 is a MOBA?

From fucking where? Do you think Gearbox has any money left, or really even knows how computers work enough to pay anyone for this?

name one (1) fps without any aim assist that isn't an alpha tech demo

heres an example:

if you drag the cursor to the general location of someone, you damage them as winston

you can drag your entire cursor to somewhere completely off target as hanzo and still hit them

that is not aiming, that is just dragging your cursor around. hence-a draggler

>chinese fingerpainting forum where anyone can designate random genres to a video game
>thinks it has any credibility

>hates overwatch
>seeks out every overwatch thread to shitpost in

You're more active in the overwatch community than people who like the game. I bet you browse the forums too.

see that will be another 0.02 dollars, thank you

I remember only having to drag my cursor to near effete the enemy was to hurt them with soldier in TF2. So TF2 is a mouse draggler?

Quake is a draggler. Doom is a draggler, TF2 is a draggler. CoD is a draggler.

You're fucking retarded.

There is literally nothing wrong with food analogies

...

It's pretty bold to use the word "literally" like that.

Medic's Uber is nearly identical to Overwatch's ultimate system, and the Scout's Bonk is like the shift or E abilities in Overwatch.

I don't care what anyone says, Overwatch is still most comparable to TF2, with abilities replacing everyone having secondary weapons.

I know it's not TF2, the smaller teams, the extra abilities, it's really not. But it's not a fucking MOBA, either. There's a whole standard FPS level with some chokepoints, not lanes and NPCs and shit.

He doesn't touch the right stick for the entirety.
Even your 360 noscope shit games have it.

i agree i love ow lets go fap to some hot-hot sfm porn

who is your favorite waifu in overwatch? mine is mei bc she thicc xd

>using analogies that are about as good as a rare steak instead of ones as good as a well done steak

Weren't his arrow sizes reduced in the patch though?

>draggler

no, it required too much skill so they put his arrows back pre-nerf which means you can pull off all the infamous webm shit again

basically describes overwatch in a nutshell. "its 2 hard so we make it easier :D"
not that im complaining, hanzo players get bullied by "competitive" OW players all the time and if you thought regular OW players were autistic enough, those people take the cake. Good thing comp will never take off and will die with the game in the next 4 months.

Anyone have the full gameplay still? or is it gone forever.

Moving your mouse is the same as dragging your mouse.

don't fucking bring this shit up
people can have their tapeworms all they want, just let people eat what they want

>can't argue points so he has to resort to shitposting
Never change

Yeah, and they quietly fixed the issue of hitting someone while they are behind cover.

no, why would it be? tf2 is a hat simulator, not a FPS

>calling overwatch generals on Cred Forums shitposting

I agree!

People to lazy to type out Overwatch

just one, looks like.
Inb4 merely pretending.

Please explain to me why you think SJWlands is a FPS.

unpopularity=/=truth

just because you're retarded doesn't mean you're right.

Why doesn't the team with the most time remaining during just win the fucking game? I just had to endure six fucking rounds of Temple of Anubis because their system is so fucking retarded. I'd rather a loss in the 2nd round then having to go through that stupid shit ever again. Jesus fucking Christ if the teams are still tied up by the fourth round why the FUCK would the fifth and sixth rounds be any fucking different? If the team with the most time remaining won in the 2nd round you would be able to play TWO more fucking games in the time it takes to play one stupid piece of shit game on Temple of Anubis.

Fucking retards. This is the dumbest shit ever. It's just so FUCKING STUPID that the game has to get dragged on for another TWENTY FUCKING MINUTES because the teams are too evenly-skilled and keep capturing the last point. Like I said, if it was done by who can capture the 2nd point with the most time remaining we'd all be spared from this stupid bullshit, but no. Who was the mouthbreathing retard behind such a dumb fucking system?

Yes I mad.

>It's not me, it's EEEEEEEEEEEEEVERYONE else that's wrong!
He means you're retarded AND delusional.

This set up was pretty gud desu senpai.

Imagine being so fat that you try to make an analogy and instead talk about food.

i dont think that everyone else is wrong, I just know that im right

>I'm not saying everyone is wrong
>I'm saying everyone is not right!

>first-person perspective
>you shoot things
not that I expect you to listen to me, since you called it SJWlands

You're shitposting right now, so you're implying the opposite. You are trying to imply right now that Overwatch does indeed take skill, so I am going to laugh at you.

Ha. Hahahaha. Ha.

if SJWLands is an FPS then Overwatch is an FPS, and since we know the latter isn't true it stands to reason that the former isnt true as well.

It isn't really if you say "first person shooter" every time you see "fps" but most people read it "eff pee ess" so "a" sounds weird

wow a WHOLE level? haha get outta here clown shoes

Are you actually this retarded or are you merely pretending

Woah woah wait
>"""people""" to lazy to type out "Overwatch"

...

If it's not an fps what do you call it. Don't make up a genre like

Well that's because you're retarded and what do we do with retarded people on the chan?
We don't spoonfeed them.

how do you pronounce it without saying EFF PEE ESS

you say a and you sound retarded, its what you get for pronouncing a fucking acronym anyways


That is proper English bro

super mario isn't a platformer

By not saying that. Wow. Much hard.

Game is in First Person.
You shoot stuff.

very meme dude

OP was probably at work this whole day thinking of this joke, chuckling to himself, expecting to get a wall of replies and end up on some epic Cred Forums post screenshot thread in 2 years.

look at all those (you)s though

Anons, calm down.

Everything is a story.
