Forums → Games → "Are you a FPS fan or a MMORPG fan?"

I am pretty much a fan of both, but i am gettin a bit sick of all the MMORPGs being the same, so I am heading in the direction of FPS's.

depends how good the game is like oblivion vs halo 3 id choose rpg but usually i like fps more

some FPS are really good, like the COD series also MMORPG's are also fun like guild wars and such, i will say im an equal fan of both.

I was always an MMORPG/MMO fan, not that i hate FPS s though..

fps and mmorpg are like not oppisites usually you would say, idk, peanut butter or jelly, but there are other genres to pick from besides these too,

I could never decide between them

Can I answer both? This is a horrible question, really.
I'd make a comparison to apples and oranges, but that would be cliche and if people haven't gotten the point of it by now why bother trying...

Now if we're ignoring the question OF the topic, and focusing on the one IN the topic... Slightly less stupid question. Picking a favorite is still rather unfair since the genres have nothing in common other than being video games. In my never ending attempt to monkey wrench poorly thought out topics, my answer is Neocron. Make what you will of that.

FPS - action packed games like TF2 or COD4.

I like FPS, mmorpg seem childish to me now because the graphics always have to look terrible so that you dont get super lag, like wow looks amazingly cartoony!

Yes, I will say that some MMOs are very graphic lagging. But at least there fun. Sometimes. But me? I like FPS. Most of them out there have fantastic quality, awesome replayability, and are just fun. I mean, some RPGs can be linear. So what if you choose a differnt type, still doing the same thing. FPS bring that slight joy of killing people, and having millions of maps to do it on. My favorite FPS, Combat Arms. My least favorite MMORPG, Runescape (BIG SUPRISE *whaaaaa from crowd* /sarcasm)

I agree with the horrible runescape thing, but remember, these games are made by amateurs who have no idea what really makes a game. This is why just about all of those MMOs are cliche and bland to say the least.

Combat Arms requires a heavy connection with luck to make sure the server you're on is working correctly. People with local wireless or dialup cannot play them at all, and there is the excuse of lagging everytime something bad goes wrong.

Great game though :-)

i thought fps means feet per second

FPS, I don't play any mmorpg's anymore lol.

I like both, I'm not sure which I like better. Although my opinion doesn't count for much here because I like most types of games.

It's funny: I absolutely love regular RPGs, but I've never gotten into MMORPGs. I think I just hate the idea of people thinking they're amazing for being a higher level than me, when MMOs don't actually require skill, just time invested. I'll keep my RPGs single player, thank you very much.

So, to get to the point, I'd take an FPS over an MMO. I personally think it's a lot more satisfying when you do well in an FPS, because it takes more than a comfortable chair and hours of time to do well.
