“most common way” man, did you even read the words I wrote?

and ah yes “objectively wrong” about video game genres, suuuuure

anyway, this conversation has been incredibly stupid, and your oddly strong opinion about what is and isn’t an FPS is not even based on any facts. Fallout:NV does indeed allow you to shoot at things from the first person perspective, and however small part of the game it might be for you, the fact you can do that, does make it, in part, a first person shooter - whether you like it or not. And if somebody doesn’t like first person shooters, there’s a high likelihood they won’t enjoy modern Fallout games either. this said I’m out, I’ve got better things to do than arguing about “objectivity” in definitions of video game genres lmao
