Florete Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 It is an adventure game, just like the other Metroid games except Pinball and Hunters. Anyone with half a brain knew that, yet you and Fox keep insisting otherwise. It's not solely an FPS, I know that, but the element is there. You're being over-specific on genres.

Florete Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 So what if I'm being over-specific? I'm a nerd, sue me. I'm a nerd as well. I'm just not going "IT ISN'T LIKE TRADITIONAL ONES, SO IT CAN'T BE CLASSIFIED AS THAT" which isn't entirely true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 ?_?...did you even pay attention to what Red Fox of Fire even said? Metroid Prime is played in first person.Metroid Prime has you shooting things. Connect the dots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiba Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 so its an FPS/Action/Adventure game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 so its an FPS/Action/Adventure game I'd say it as a First-person adventure/shooter but yes, that's pretty much it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Why are you guys making things so difficult? I've already refuted that Metroid isn't a shooting game. Do you shoot in this game? Yes. So if Metroid should be classified as a adventure game then Halo should be a adventure game as well because you get to travel and all that other stuff like Metroid do. In "space-time theme". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Envoy of the Beginning Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 ?_?...did you even pay attention to what Red Fox of Fire even said? If you and Fox think classification (or anything in general) is simple, then you're both simple-minded. I'm through for now. You two can keep naively believing that Metroid is a shooter all you want to, but don't cry to me if you get flamed/insulted by anyone who says and proves you wrong.

Kiba Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 boy you are the only one that's denying the fact that metroid is a shooting game and no halo wouldn't be an adventure game since you don't have to look around for anything specific unlike in metroid you can go back to places you have already been to, halo you can't just go back and forward as you please. that's the difference between an adventure/FPS and an FPS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you not shoot in Metroid Prime? Maybe in super-specific terms it isn't a shooter, but don't you wonder why movies are always classified under many different genres? Because genres combine.

Genres are not supposed to combine, otherwise, there can and will be some outrageous results. They are supposed to be one or the other.

Florete Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 (edited) Is Halo an FPS? Look at these: Halo's GameFAQs page Metroid Prime's GameFAQs page They have the exact same genre classification. Genre: First-Person > Action > Shooter > Sci-Fi Genres are not supposed to combine, otherwise, there can and will be some outrageous results. They are supposed to be one or the other. Not to mention, that's one of the most outrageous things I've ever heard. Edited October 23, 2008 by Red Fox of Fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metroid games (except Pinball and Hunters) have more adventure elements than any other ones, making them adventure games. Is that too hard for you to grasp? And just because you don't understand something doesn't mean it's outrageous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And just because you don't understand something doesn't mean it's outrageous. The only lol about GameFAQs is their boards. Everything else is good, accurate info. The element of shooting is still there. You can't deny that. Sure, it's more adventure than shooter, but you still shoot, so it can be classified as part shooter. Is that too hard for you to grasp? So you're calling me stupid, now? How nice of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 (edited) AND NOT TO MENTION HALO IS ADVENTUROUS ALMOST AS MUCH AS METROID BUT METROID HAS MORE. WHICH MAKES IT EVEN MORE BETTER THAN HALO COULD EVER AFFORD. THEREFORE THEY'RE PERFECTLY COMPARABLE. I'LL SAY THIS ONCE AND FOR THE LAST TIME. THEY'RE BOTH SHOOTING GAMES, THEY'RE BOTH FIRST PERSON GAME, THE CHARACTER'S IN EACH OF THEIR GAME'S HAVE SUIT'S ENABLING THEM TO SHOOT DOWN STUFF YOU SEE ON YOUR TV, AND THEY'RE BOTH SET IN A "SPACE-TIME" THEME. GET THIS THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULLS. JUST BECAUSE YOU IGNORE OUR VALID POINTS, IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT METROID ISN'T A SHOOTING GAME. THIS DEBATE IS A JOKE BEYOND ALL HOPE FOR HUMANITY.
