Many eons ago Halo was viewed by almost everyone as babby's first FPS

BotW feels like a Babbys First Sandbox but console wars will deny it getting that title.
Oblivion/Skyrim could be described as Babbys first WRPG

Sims 2 could be called that, same with simcity and RCT3.
also i've heard of people calling pokemon babby's first RPG or something.

Pokemon is baby's first JRPG.

What about Baldur's gate?
You mean Wolf 3d?

Best example is WoW.
People used to make fun and always consider it the "babby MMO" but people today pretend it was some hardcore MMORPG.

Final Fantasy/BoF/DQ all came before pokemon stupid.

And many shooters came out before Halo, on both consoles and PC. The "baby's first" title is given to games that primarily introduce children and casuals into the genre who wouldn't otherwise play that sort of game.

I don't think you are grasping the idea

if doom had an online mode with voice chat it would be known as a kids game, I played a lot of doom and duke nukem when I was a kid and I assume most people that played at the time were kids since adults didn't had interest in videogames

How is WoW not exactly like the OP suggested?

Wow everyone here is wrong. Counterstrike is baby's first FPS.

Sorry wrong post.
Yeah WoW is definitely babby MMO

ITT: we don't know what "baby's first" means

How far Yea Forums has fallen...

that makes no fucking sense you retard. it was literally the first stealth game. Holy shit some people have only the self-awareness to continue mouth-breathing I swear.

>What other games has this happened to?

I remember Yea Forums making fun of Call of Duty a lot back around 2011 and 2012, but these days there's CoD nostalgia threads.

People were shilling the campaign of BO2 non stop in 2012 though

This is the dumbest thing I've ever read on Yea Forums today and the catalog is full of console war spam.

nah doom was always shitting up workplace computers

Runescape as a runner up.

its almost like people age and the population changes over time

Are zoomers actually trying to history revisionist doom as "baby's first fps"?

Really?

t. pokemon fan

I think most people played runescape because it was a lot more accessible, most normalfags when I went to school played WoW and runescape.
The only reason WoW was not as big as fortnite is today back then was because it was a game requiring broadband connection when it was kind of new, it required you to pay a sub and use a credit card Online (Which most parents REFUSED to let their kids do).

Meanwhile you could just play runescape on any library or school computer.

RO existed.

I'm conflicted here, is Dark Souls babby's first third person action game or is it Devil May Cry?

I do remember that now, back when everyone was going on about how that campaign had multiple routes. I also remember those "MLG 420 I EXERT STRESS WHEN I EXPORT BEATS" videos making fun of CoD back then, though.

I really don't understand how what's basically an ubisoft sandbox game gets so heavily praised. The main arguments I see for it is that you can go anywhere because climbing and do things with the physics engine. You can do shit with the physics engine in bethesda games.You can go nearly anywhere in bethesda games. Have nintendo console owners really never touched an open world sandbox game? Other sandbox games do lock areas or content out, but that's because they want to have some kind of progression in the game. Just because your game is aimless by design doesn't make it revolutionary.

Because you can do gimmick stuff with the physics that looks cool if you make a webm out of it.

If you even bothered to even google your claim, you'd know how wrong you are you fucking moron. Not only that but your point is irrelevant: it's babby's first stealth series because it's one of the easiest and accessible stealth series to play, not because it's one of the first.

Black Ops 1 is the current baby's first FPS.

'Casual arena shooter' is a niche that isn't being filled right now on PC. Nobody is even attempting to do it.

You are aware that Pokemon is marketed for actual children? And that, assuming you've played a Pokemon game before , you would've played it as a child? The turn-based fighting with occassional grinding, items and accessories is textbook JRPG stuff.

It's not popular anymore, so why would they?

Stop mis-using terms you dont understand, newfag. Pokefaggots dont move on to other jrpgs, the remain pokefaggots.

Well now someone is trying to do it and that's why people are getting excited for it.

People were using the campaign flowchart of BO2 as a meme to make fun of the 2 early 2010s wave of "complex" linear hallway shooters with "meaningful" decisions, like Uncharted and ME2 and such, that all managed to be less complex than the average military shooter campaign.

Yea Forums is not people

I still dont understand how people can defend the combat of ME2, its even more uninspired and bland than the original

Do you mean Halo? Because that's purely out of nostalgia, not interest in the genre.

Because ME1's combat was worse. ME3's combat was easily the best in the trilogy anyway so who cares.

Oh fuck

We'll see. If it dies out in a few months it was nostalgia.

Halo's nothing special. I like 4 and apparently that's a total shitshow and 3, which is like everyone's favorite, is just alright for me.

As a video game player I predate Halo so I'm not a newfag, I just was always surprised by people's investment in such a rote franchise.

Already happened when the remaster was announced.

>What are this current gen's baby's first X?
Fornite, baby's first video game in general. We have reached rock bottom.

Are you implying that Halofags ever moved on? Have you ever seen a Halo thread in the past few years? It's just whining about not being able to play Halo anymore.

The Halo 3 nostalgia stems from playing minigames with kids from the playground.

It was really just the bad grafix and basic combat that made people say that. Runescape was like every other pre-WoW mmo, unique in its own way and cut its own niche out.

>almost everyone
No, almost everyone thought Halo was the hottest thing next to the sun.
Specific corners of the Internet correctly identified it as a stripped-down FPS that set the genre back.

Omg OP you are so smart. Holy fuck you figured it out. Wow. Omg. Are you Jordan B Peterson sir? I'll clean my room

The IQ you must have to figure out old games have fans who. . . Grow up and have fond memories. Oh my it almost slipped my mind that a ten plus year old game with millions of fans would have a change of public opinion on a website.

Wow OP. Total brain master here.

Halo is a pretty casual FPS, but it doesn't take itself to seriously like the slew of casual FPS that infects the market nowadays and it's actually fun

>Many eons ago Halo was viewed by almost everyone as babby's first FPS
You mean butthurt traditionalists tried to complain it was babby's first FPS because it was way more fun than anything else in the genre that came before it and killed off all the shitty competition.

P5 is zoomer's baby jrpg. And it's terrible.

That's cause the boomers who shit on halo died out and the kids that played it replaced them

>Many eons ago Halo was viewed by almost everyone as babby's first FPS
No it wasn't. That was one of the longest running attempts at forcing a meme ever. Even years ago there were lively discussions about Halo and even arguments about why people liked it. I know because I was one of those people and I'm 31 goddamn years old now. I played UT and CS and all that stuff and I loved Halo. It was fucking fun and if you didn't play it with your friends and have good times you missed out. Period. Now if it's not your cup of tea I get that but don't try to rewrite history.

how is this a surprise? People don't even understand how the chocolate rain meme works and that started/came back a few days ago.

I prefer Halo to all of those which is why I come back to it every year (several times) where I haven't played any of those since I was a kid

Dead ass fucking meme OP, I don't get why zoomers like you like using this so much? I remember this pic it was great back in the day.

This but it's a good thing

what's wrong with it now?

To the series sure but were are talking about genres, don't pretend DQ8 fags weren't all there for the FF demo or that most people played P3 before Nocturne

I'm truly interested in the psychology of the retards that say Halo is a causal FPS. We're talking actual Halo, not Reach or 343's homosexual games.
Halo players could dominate in any FPS, but anybody else couldn't just come over to Halo and do well. That's why CODfags always hated Halo, because they could never play. The only people who didn't like Halo were people who weren't fans of Sci Fi shooters, or they simply sucked at the game. Oh, and putting Reach, 4, or 5 in the same category as the first 3 games aren't Halo fans. Always ignore these posters as they're mostly zoomers or paid shills.

Its been oversaturated and its become a dead meme thanks to zoomers like OP, fucking sucks man.

idfags were and are too birdbrained to understand Halo. Halo had 20+ year old fans even when it released in 2001. Why? Because it was a great game that offered an experience like nothing else at the time. It was more than just a corridor shooter.

>but anybody else couldn't just come over to Halo and do well
I did, never played Halo before this year but I can top frag pretty consistently in 2 and CE

is this some kind of a joke, halo was made as a party game with shooting mechanics. It's slower than even fucking CoD with just as much aim assist

So you're using the MCC as the basis of your argument. The only people who play the MCC are those on your level, ie, underage players and people that are new to Halo.

Only reason people don't call Halo baby's first FPS anymore is because the series rapidly spiraled into irrelevance once CoD overtook it in popularity with MW2. It doesn't help that the Xbox brand followed suite as well. Still a baby mode FPS

not an argument

>underage players and people that are new to Halo.
So the average Halo player 10 years ago? Either way I was playing the PC ports

>underage players and people that are new to Halo.

So, another person who was 12 first played halo and thought it was good. And then a few years later, a person who was 12 first played MW2 and thought it was good.
See where this leads?

I thought the loadings were fucking insane in QC, with 1:1 loadings and menus to gameplay ratio, but now I'm literally stuck in loading and can't open the game

And it's the reason why MLG exists, while COD is still a twitch shooter for bad players. Spoken like somebody who couldn't play. At least lie about it and say you had a few 50s. Even a shitty game like Halo 5 takes more skill than COD. For the record Halo started dying when they started dumbing it down to your level.
It is an argument. The MCC plays nothing like the original games despite the updates, and everybody on it never played the game before. It's easy to spot the non Halo fans here. Damn.
You wouldn't stand a chance against the average Halo player. At least the retard above me admitted to just getting into the game. You people just talk out of your ass and play semantics.
That doesn't make any sense. I pity you for not being able to have LAN parties on the weekends, kid. Better days they were.

Lowest common denominator. Its that simple. Anything particularly big combines easy access, the illusion of continous progression, and a good dose of gambling.

Halo was easy to play, had an illusion of progression with "skill", and the cartoon physics fufilled the gambling.

Real talk, halo also put a lot of the best broad mechanics into one game, and made it accesible to a lot of people quickly. Its not a bad or great game either way.

It seamlessly combined elements of all those games, making it the superior experience.

If you're under the age of 24, you're underage according to Halo's standards. If you're under the age of 18, you're underage according to the law. If I called you a moron (which you are) that would be ad hominem. Try again.

You didn't, but nice try anyway.

>passively regenerating health

You're confusing a introductory series with a Babbies First, they overlap but babies first is distinct because it offers a gateway and standard the baby adjusts and remains comfortable with, in a sense they never grow up. It's like how people like shitty cheap condiment brands or shitty junkfood because it's what introduced them to that type of food and defined what they think that food tastes like even if there's other options or better grade ones out there.

Another example is Gurren Lagann was babys first super robot anime, and 95% of the viewers never went on to other super robot anime despite similar tropes and structure.

But I guess technically fortnite would be babby's first shooter for this generation, come to think of it.

Does that mean Halo isn't an FPS because the perspective changes in vehicles?

not him but halo is a party game with shooting mechanics

Yes, do you also call Half-Life a Third Person Shooter because you can use the thirdperson command?
If it can be played completely in the first person, its a first person shooter.
It created the current Battle Royale fad and was stll insanely popular within that 6 months, if Fortnite had a First Person mode it'd take the spot.

Well i personally prefer Quake to Halo.

Halo is a weird game it's like a hybrid of UT and CS and it really only works on consoles (or at least with a controller) because it's so slow. But it had mass appeal because of this and also a lot of fun custom gametypes. Is it babby's first FPS? For that generation yes although that's not exactly a bad thing. People act like it killed arena shooters but I think if there were really anywhere left for Quake-style arena shooters to go we would have seen one with a strong following emerge in the decades since Q3A, there have been attempts but it never sticks. But there have been other PC FPS with a strong following since then such as TF2, other CS games and Tribes. I think the fact of the matter is that Q3A simply does that style of arena shooting best and anyone who wants that feeling will just go play it (or Quake Live whatever it is now).

Ultimately I was never really a Halo guy but I would much rather play Halo with some people than Call of Duty or one of these battle royale games.

>smear the queer, infection, and fat kid with mod support
How can slayer even fucking compete

I don't even like Halo but if the PC collection gets a big customs community I will change my tune real quick now that CS doesn't have many anymore

I agree but I'm talking about Halo-mania? The time when it was at its most popular.

my first fps was Wolfenstein 3D i was born in 1986

pong

>He hasn't beat thief gold and the metal age
I HEAR A TAFFER ABOUT

halo 3 easily
then CoD4 came out with much smaller fanfare a few months later and managed to match halo 3 in popularity, basically starting the decline of halomania

thief sucks

He is referring to the MSX games that predate Thief by a wide margin

of course it's a thief idiot, metal gear =/= metal gear solid

>what stelath game came out before the first metal gear?
The Castle Wolfenstein games came out in the early 80's, and they had far more sophisticated stealth mechanics. For instance, you could hide bodies, a feature the Metal Gear series wouldn't implement until literally the NEXT MILLENIUM.

lmao the castle wolfenstein games suck.

It kind of did, since shields are basically health. But it was better in Halo 1 because of the health bar which did not recharge under the shield bar.

SHIELD ARN'T HEALTH IT'S DIFFERENT GUYS!
same concept

Does it hurt to live as you? All retarded and shit?

>Many eons ago Halo was viewed by almost everyone as babby's first FPS
The only people who held that opinion were gen Xers born in the 80's

Says the faggot who thinks Halo's health regen somehow makes it different just because it's called something else.

If you can't damage somebody with one tick of damage in 6-9 seconds you don't deserve the kill

If you can't find a health pack before taking damage, you don't deserve to take damage.
