I consider fps'ing the whole fucking time im trying to play a game is rather annoying. I hate the genre with a passion. Bioshock and Stalker, if it was non fps but the same environment they would be awesome. I dont want to have to shoot as the main objective to everything. F1 and F2 was turn based and rpg based and we all love them so that's a hint that everyone feels this way actually they are just conditioned to think fps is the only way to exist.

that's why consoles are retarded.
The FPS got it's start on the PC. Just saying. No need to throw idiotic console wars logic around. If you don't like FPS's, thats fine, but don't blame consoles for them.
Amusingly, the times when Fallout/Fallout2 were made were a golden era of PC shooters.

There were literally tons of them:

http://www.mobygames.com/browse/games/x,7/shooter/1997/
http://www.mobygames.com/browse/games/x,7/shooter/1998/

We're talking about games like Duke Nukem 3D, Quake, Quake II, Redneck Rampage, Outlaws, Shadow Warrior, Blood, Blood II, Powerslave, Eradicator, Chasm, Descent II, Heretic, Hexen, Hexen II, Dark Forces, Dark Forces II, Shogo, Witchaven II, SkyNET, MDK, Target, etc. etc. etc.
I remember reading about them in gaming magazines and playing some of them. It's not true that consoles have brought us the obsession with FPS games and realizing how much FPS games were back then and how popular they were and how "great" they looked back then shows how completely retarded were the statements about FPS games being "next gen" and about technology to make good FPS games being absent back then.

Though i find it bit depressing that they had to make a separate mode called Hardcore, for what should be normal mode.
Oh well.

dude. seriously? it's the state of the fucking world right now. spend 5 minutes reading at Bethesda's forums and you'll feel like a few years of education have been ripped right off your memory. it's mind-numbing how dumb kids are. i work with a fucking 20 year old who didn't know how to address a fucking envelope, man! the internet is dulling the minds of our youth, make no mistake.

pretty soon the world will be a yipping, farting, belching mess of shit-stains on the highway.

take the few pieces of "good" you see and be thankful we still have "good" in our lifetime because if there is to be another renaissance it ain't happening in my lifetime or yours, suckah.
