RTS vs RPG vs FPS vs anything else

[Shredder92]

Which genre of computer game do you feel is best?

RTS = Real Time Strategy, such as Age Of Empires, Command and Conquer, Black And White, Total War games etc.

RPG = Role Playing Game, such as Final Fantasy, Grandia, Dark Cloud, the newer mario games

FPS = First Person Shooter, such as COD, James Bond, Halo

Any Other = Arcade, screen Scrolling, third person shooters (Metal Gear Solid)

MMORPG, and RPGS...for sure.

Can't really choose one over the other, so I'm going to pop into the middle and say..

Platforming.

I mean, without side-scrolling platforming games, where would we be? Nowhere!

For me, the Diablo/Sacred RPG format of "click... Click... Click... Kill... Kill... Kill..." Has always been a winner for me. What's better than killing the monsters, stealing its treasure, selling the treasure, buying cool stuff, then leveling up?

FPS ALL THE WAY!!!
Though I still like GTA and End War.
And don't forget NFS, GT ect ect.

 

[Rissy]

RPGs are better~
They have story and environment.
Other types of games are just competitions and skill testers.

 

[Mako]

Side Scrolling Platformers, or Schmups.

 

[Darkfinn]

How can you forget Driving/Racing simulations? Those are definately tops on my list.

Though Civilizations, Fable, and Halo have their places too.

 

[Maxicoon]

rpgs are the best.

What do you actually do in and RPG, to me an RPG is something you use in an FPS or TPS to blow shit up.

 

[Fire2box]

what about FPS combined with RPG elements?

Anyways it's impossible to say one is better then the other since they all have there own pro's and cons.

However what is possible to say is Halo is not the best FPS ever nor ever was the best at one time.

FPS & RTS Games Are My Favourite, But I Like Some RPG's.

I've always prefered RTS games, or even turn based ones. I really love games with an immense level of detail to fathom, but also that can be played pretty comfortably without all the detail and stuff. I find that turn based strategy lends itself to this.

Furthermore most RTSs are tactical, not strategic games. With turn based ones you get proper deep strategy and I find that really fun. I often find I don't think things through enough, I react too impulsively or too short sightedly, but slowly I am learning. My only problem with these games is that I find them hard to play the distance.

I don't like RPGs as much because I find them limiting. Whatever the creator does there will be something I want to do that I can't. I really don't like most FPSs, though stealth-em-ups and puzzler ones aren't so bad. I am crap at them to.
