Talk:First-person adventure/Archive 1

Archive 1

Right, I changed the intro to read 'type of video game' rather than 'type of computer game.' After scanning the current definition of both, I just thought it fit better - it does, after all, depend on the video aspect by definition. Also, the only FPA I know about it Metroid Prime, which is definitely a console video game, and the term was, after all, first used to describe it. The distinction between computer and video games is of course a rather hazy subject in some cases, though, and I admit I'm rather biased towards the consoles, so if anyone disagrees, let's talk it out, eh? ^_^ --Sparky the Seventh Chaos 06:28, Aug 30, 2004 (UTC)

Should this article be about adventure games? In any case, talk of Metroid Prime should go to the page about Metroid Prime.--Deadworm222 23:27, August 9, 2005 (UTC)
Sorry about my harsh wording. Now some kind soul has edited the article, and I did a few additions, including removing my own POV. If someone could add a few lines about those action-based first-person adventures, I then think that the foundations of this article are better. However, I suggest that because games like Myst and the Last Express are completely different from games like Grand Theft Auto and Metroid Prime, we do not categorize any games as first-person adventure. The end result would be very confusing with games that are vastly different in their style being in the same category...--Deadworm222 11:54, August 10, 2005 (UTC)
It seems to me that Metroid Prime is the only action-based game classified as first-person adventure. However, adventure game players have been referring to first person adventure games as first person adventure since... forever. And as we can see from the talk-page, people are saying that Metroid Prime is more like an FPS, so I think I'll add that "erroneously" there again.--Deadworm222 12:01, August 10, 2005 (UTC)
