Honestly you saying TPS just opened my third eye to what that genre of games even is… I loved gears of war
Oh, I'm glad something good came out of me doing that annoying internet thing of using an abbreviation without explaining what it means (for which I apologize).
It's kinda funny to call Space Marine a TPS since while, technically, it is, you kinda spend 60% of the time mashing the melee button, which is very much not doing the "S" part.
It did take me a second to realise it was “third person shooter” but the context made it easy to decipher!
Funny on the melee thing too, that’s how I feel about DOOM now. You spend it all in melee range and since melee heals you..
