PSXE Poll Update: Not A Whole Lotta FPS Fans 'Round Here
Call of Duty: Black Ops IIDon't get the wrong idea. The crowd at PSXE isn't so much anti-Call of Duty as it is anti-shooter-in-general.
Which isn't to say the readers are "against" the genre; it's just that we don't seem to have a whole lot of shooter fans, which is fine by us. We kinda like being a little different in that way. Me, I like my FPSs but because I really don't play online, I'm hardly what you would call a big-time fan.
As for the two major shooters coming out this fall, while Call of Duty: Black ops II received more than double the number of votes Medal of Honor: Warfighter got, the majority of participants said they don't plan to purchase either. This week, we'll try another "whatcha gonna buy" poll; it focuses on the two big fighting titles slated for September: Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and Dead or Alive 5. I'll assume TTT2 will win just 'cuz this is a PlayStation-oriented website and Tekken is quintessentially PlayStation. But you never know...I can sense the DoA fans out there...
P.S. We'll go back to the User Review contest (which will just keep going) in a few weeks. During the slow summer months, there isn't a whole lot coming out to inspire the amateur critics out there, and...uh...I kinda need more stuff to give away, right? ;)

And I'll definitely be picking up DOA5. I loved DOA 2, my first game on my PS2, and you have to love a game with variable jiggle physics ;)

I'm just sad DOA doesn't have a character creator, if any game lent itself to that kind of fun it would be that one.
I'm a fighter, bounce on ladies.

As for Dead or Alive, I have always enjoyed the combat system. the aesthetics may be daft but the combat system is deep and enjoyable.

people are just sick to death of them because there all the same!
as richard hammond said the german big wigs, merc, bmw, and audi have become so obsessed with what each other is making they have made the exact same product!
if we had a new fresh totally different shooter, than, well, there would be sheep flocking to it like flies on rotting meat!
sadly we dont have that, and probably never will, so zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
which really disappointed me.
i was really hoping this years MoH would be the same as the recent reboot.
the reboot was such a tactical slow paced patient war game, it could not of been any more different than your typical mindless shooter!
warfighter though, well, sadly its the other way around.
it couldnt be any less different to your typical mindless shooter!
seems uniqueness has become illegal in this industry!
as for which fighting game ill be buying, neither.
simply because ive never been able to get into any fighting series besides MK.
dunno why i just never have found them as much fun as i have mortal kombat.
i tried to get into soul calibre V and tekken 6 but i just got really bored of them real quick.
