ASSAULT or ENGINEER as these roles make the frontline, get most kills (when not lagging). While both RECON ( sniper) and MEDIC tends to be more of supporting role. Assault is most preferred by me because of the unlimited ammo. If i am connected to a lagging server, I will be Sniping, getting marksman headshots *_*

Sadly u are correct,if i want more genres to sell i may have to buy some dog crap games in that genre.Is that something i really want to do?NO but the alternatives are buy only FPS’,something i won’t do i only own 1 at the moment and don’t plan on buying anymore anytime soon,or give up disc based gaming on the ps3 altogether.I’d rather buy the dog turd than accept either 1 of those possibilities.Btw i don’t really fit into just 1 of the above catergories,i’m a combination of some parts of all of them.

I’m definitely the DOOM guy! I know it’s not PS3 but Its the game that hooked me to gaming in general. Oh, and Painkiller and Killing floor rock too!

“Is that you john Wayne? Is this me?”

FPSs seem to have taken hold of competitive gaming by force. there was a time when genres were plentiful, and there was much celebration.

but in the past few years FPSs grabbed hold of a bunch of angy youth who really wanted to kill and destroy. so when games like Call of Duty or Halo, showed their heads, this was the perfect method to vent. It was REAL it was intense it was FIRST PERSON!!! it was like being there!!

heck when bungie made halo (sorry for the reference fanboys, stick with me) they wanted to originally make halo wars(look it up) but they didn’t have the funds to make it pop. so they looked at the market saw FPSs on thr come up, bandwagoned and BOOM, you have the phenomenon that was halo. so it wasn’t the gaming industry that did this it was us! So go buy some of those other genres, even if they’re not top notch, it will show the industry we want more than another Call to Duty, we want meat!

oh, and i’d DEF be the sniper. there’s an art to it, and i love it

The problem with following rigid formulas in games,like movies,is often it feels like stale repitition.Before long u end up with 12 games or movies in the series.Around the 3rd or 4th one u can pretty much guess how the rest r gonna go by 7or8 u start wondering,like Ross Perots running mate,”Who am i?,Why am i here?”.I think there r a few game catergories that r horribly under represented on the ps3 which is y i bought a lap top,i realized if i wanted a good strategy game i’d have 2 go elsewhere.At my local game store i can get new fps’ all the time but haven’t found a good strategy game 4 the ps3 since civilizations revolutions.Part of the reason some genres sell so well is simply lack of choice.
