Third person shooter. It's not an FPS.

I don't think anybody says TPS as an acronym though.

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

No. They say shooter, or cover shooter, or type out 3rd person shooter.

Calling third person shooters FPSes is like calling rogue lites rogue likes. I don't really care even if it is technically slightly inaccurate.
