I don't know. I don't own a PS3 and wouldn't buy one if it had 100 more multiplayer shooter games as I have access to more than enough of those on the PC.

See this is how you contribute to a thread.

I own all 3 systems and i only own one shooter - warhawk, if you want to classify it like that. I don't think the PS3 is in a place to pick and choose the games that come out for it by any means. Not that any of the consoles do but you can never have too many shooters or any kind of game for a system. I think as the systems get older they will have an audience that comes out over time and developers will make games for those people more and more. Look at the wii, it has a shit ton of short games. The 360 is getting more diverse but the majority of games played are shooters.

 

[soco]

the question isn't whether there's too many shooters, but simply 'not enough' of other genres. there's no correct ratio. no magic number.

I have resigned myself to the fact that I am a multiplayer shooter kind of gamer. I wanted to broaden my gaming horizons but I am always coming back to shooting people in the face. Really, I should save myself a lot dough this fall and just buy Uncharted 2 and MW2 and call it a day. I won't even finish the other games.

ease yourself into new genres. an easy start is Viva Pinata. :lol

So you're basically like a bizarro version of me.

 

[ChaoticBlue]

simple. don't buy any.

The shitty state of RPGs on any non-DS console this gen has little to noting to do with the FPS market.

I'm more pleased with the console RPG scene this generation than I was with the last, especially since this one isn't hanging my favorite franchises out to rot in the sun.

It just takes two platforms to get it done now. =/

For all the DS games I own though, I really think the selection there is overrated. Outside of a few good dungeon crawlers, I don't own anything besides remakes and ports.

 

[Lindsay]

YES!

Thats why its the ShooterStation3!

Sony and everyone else keeps pumping out shooter after shooter and next to nothing else @_@

 

[inner-G]

YES

for the love of god, yes.




That stands for pretty much all systems though.

ATTENTION:

If you happen across a game that you DO NOT want to buy please follow the following steps:
1. Do not buy game
2. Do not go home and make a thread about it

[Rapping Granny]

Do you think there are too many PS3 threads lately?

 

[Robot 492]

Probably, but I don't care. I love multiplayer shooters.

Also, thread title should say PS360 (at least if you're going to include multi-plat games on the list). Heck, add PC as well. There are tons of PC shooters out there...

 

[Chromax]

But we're finally leaving the FPS genre behind and moving into the 3rd person action genre!

AC2
GoW 3
Brutal Legend
Darksiders
Bayonetta
NGS 2
MGS: Rising
Dante's Inferno
Wet
Star Wars The Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition
WarDevil: Enigma (lol who remember this?)

 

[nolookjones]

id say more like not enough exclusive ps3 shooters...

 

[gutter_trash]

if you don't like shooters, you can buy games of other genres like, you know

 

[C.Dark.DN]

Ps360 this gen has focused a lot on fps'. I want more of other genres.

 

[Oneself]

I don't think there are too many .. but I sure know that more than one is too many for me. I don't have time for online games ... I wish I had though.

 

[FishSquared]

If the PS3 has too many shooters I don't want to know what the 360 has.....

 

[alr1ght]

Nope. All the popular ones are quite different from one another. Killzone =/= COD =/= Warhawk.

 

[Sonos]

If the PS3 has too many shooters I don't want to know what the 360 has.....

about the same amount counting the multiplats. the idea that the xbox is a shooter only console died in 2006.

 

[Wag]

I bought my 20GB PS3 the week of release mainly for Blu-Ray and expectations for gaming later, but I guess it's taking longer than I expected. I really wanted the JRPGs, and the only game that's come close to satisfying my need is Valkyria Chronicles. Luckily I have a PC to occupy my time with other games...

 

[MGR]

The 360 has around double the number of shooters compared to the PS3. (Of course the 360 also has more games total).

 

[Shurs]

I don't think too many options is ever a bad thing.

 

[Jive Turkey]

What's with all the goofy PS3 threads today?

Slow news day or something?

 

[Shurs]

Under this, Ratchet should also be in there, when it's a mix of shooting and platforming.

Sorta debatable. Folklore, Flow, Linger in Shadows...the RPGs I can agree with pretty easily.

This thread is about multiplayer shooters.

 

[shintoki]

WTF is with this stupid shit and saying too many?

Killzone is completely different from Uncharted, Uncharted is different from Warhawk, Warhawk to Resistence, to BF:BC, To COD and so forth. And it's not like a single one you listed is a bad game either(All of them you listed have a strong multiplayer fanbase going too) It's one thing to complain about too many low quality ones. It's another thing to be complaining about too many when the quality is there.

Today is the day of "Let's see who can make the worst thread about the PS3"

 

[KtSlime]

Emphatic yes. We need more RPGs and fewer first person shooters.

 

[Asmodai]

Ironically, every game named there has sold at least a million copies.

If anything, Sony would want more million selling games, not less.

I know the more deranged gaffers absolutely detest the idea of a console having any games other than ones they like.

Luckily publishers don't have the same retarded fanboy logic. Thank God.

Today is the day of "Let's see who can make the worst thread about the PS3"

Easily this OP.

 

[TheFallen]

New thread, "Do you feel that the PS3 could use more nonsense threads?"

 

[Maximus.]

no there arent too many. Its a business, they know fps' make money, plus we went last generation without a great variety of shooters. There are tons of other types of genre video games out there, and if you dont like fps' then dont buy them. Simple as that.

Spoiler

i like fps' and a lot of the other genres too
