I want to know why you morons even give a shit about the story in a damn FPS. If you want a story, go play an RPG or read a book. FPS is about blowing shit up. Who cares why I'm blowing it up. Give me an enemy, I don't care if it is an alien, nazi, red, evil demon, or republican. Just say to me "you enemy is ______. Get to it."
Did someone call my name?

Yes but storylines are very important in these games, as they often remind you of what the enemy looks like. "OH MAN, I'D FORGOTTEN". Without them, you might end up trying to shoot rocks and get nowhere!

Just because some people don't value a storyline in an FPS doesn't mean it should be completely discarded. Not all FPSes have bad storylines, and the ones that don't are only made better because of it. Not sure where the hell the whole "fuck the storyline, it's just a shooter" mentality came from, or why people actually accept that as justification for a poor end product, but I completely disagree.

I like how HALO 2 Volume 2 has been leaked already.

Unforgotten, aka theme of the real HALO 2.

Name one. If you said "first person action game", then you might have a bit better case with games like Breakdown thrown in there. But as far as first person shooters go, I honestly can't think of any released recently (or ever, really) that had a good storyline. At best, they have a convincing or interesting setting, but pretty much none of them have memorable characters or a story that expands much beyond "aliens are plotting to destroy earth, are you a bad enough dude to stop them?"

I'd love to play an FPS that actually put an emphasis on the story, but I have yet to see one.

It is isn't a first person shooter, nub. It is not even close really.

(Kavanaugh hands out a piece of gum) Aceveda: No thank you. Kavanaugh: Nah come on this is a fresh pack, it's Juicy Fruit. (Aceveda stares at him for three seconds...)Aceveda: I said no...thank you. (holds it out still) Kavanaugh: hold this out long enough some people feel compelled to take the gum, it's a sign they'll crack under pressure. Aceveda: (with a smug look) I know. - The Shield

You have a first-person view-point and you mostly kill people. I think it's pretty close to a First-Person Shooter. Nub.

I think you just defined Oblivion as an FPS...

Oblivion isn't truely an FPS since you can change the view from First-Person to Third-Person.

Not off on the right foot for them.

This, and the Transformers movie next year=happy. Then I get to look forward to the Evangelion live action movie: These give me a reason to go to the movies.

Isn't IMDB compiled by regular pro users. I mean they submit the plot info right?

Third person in Oblivion is just cool to see how you look and how fast you run and jump. And to test the physics,ie. walking on edges, etc.

This picture of a My Little Pony represents my failure to review the Mix CD that was sent to me. Like this image, I am a shining beacon of shame and disgrace.

Older than turd. There is a newer version of the script, which bases itself on The Fall of Reach, supposedly.
