Alright then PSO is like FPS and TPS then... since there's guns in it.

I think it it more like the differences in shmups.

Expand on this? Not sure what you're saying.

As in vertical, horizontal, bullet hell etc. Different flavors but still shmups.

RPGs are much harder to compare and use as analogies.

So you are saying that

Halo:Gears of War::Baldur's Gate:The Legend of Zelda

yeah I'd say PSO is more like a third person shooter than Half-Life is.

Halo and Gears are much more similar than Baldurs Gate and Zelda. Zelda isn't even an RPG.

Baldurs Gate is like Zelda as is Halo is like Contra.

This is like the most popular thread for a podcast episode ever.

the thread would probably gain even more steam if the episode were renamed the more appropriate "Podcast #65 - John's Just Wrong About The Whole Shooter Thing."

Haha this thread should be named 'Noiseredux makes
Terrible analogies about Episode 65'

I was going to suggest "TiTS and Ballz" but what do I know
