It’s a single player Action RPG, not an FPS. The best way to play it is with a controller. On a PC and with tons of mods, of course.
you shoot mainly in first person, it is a first person shooter “FPS”. A game doesn’t need to be exclusively an FPS to be an FPS
First person shooter is a genre, not the mere presence of first person shooting. First person shooters like for example Call of Duty have some RPG aspects, but they’re not RPGs either.
At most, I’ll agree with “RPG with FPS elements”, though even THAT is a bit misleading since the combat system doesn’t function in ways very similar to that of an FPS once you scratch the surface.
so you’re gatekeeping the descriptive “genre” of First Person Shooter, and in whatever definition you have you exclude all the games that don’t mainly focus on first person shooting, despite the fact that first person shooting is one of the most common ways to progress in the game?
That’s just silly
also , since the definitions of what fits or doesn’t fit a certain genre depends entirely on the audience’s opinion - go ahead disagree with the leading opinion
I mean, it’s an FPS as well as an RPG. Unless you’re going for a melee build, a Mouse is still going to be more comfortable for Guns or Energy Weapons builds.
…how? It’s a game, that you play, with a first person perspective, and shoot guns. Unless you only use VATS, a mouse is going to be more comfortable for most people, myself definitely included.
