Times like these I wish my RL friends played D3.
Them and their Call of Duty... *mumbles*
And I'd definitely take out the blue thing, you'd get so hammered so fast if you took a shot every time a blue dropped.
I'd add in "Every time a person dies, that person takes a shot."
I know what you mean its always either Call of Duty or Halo. People really need to explore other games.

I'm pretty sure that there isn't anywhere in New Zealand where I could do this. i will however, take a couple of days off work to play it when it is released, and shoot down early to pick up a copy

Though I agree that unnecessary obsession over FPS games are not games (I'll expand that to MMOs as well), sitting down and playing an FPS can be entertaining, like Left 4 Dead and FEAR2 to name a few.

Its not evven "OMG go shhot that alien over there!" Its
*Quest one: Shhot the sseargent general.
*Quest two: Shoot the traitor.
*Quest three: Shoot the mysterious infiltraitor.
*Quest four: Shoot the creature.
There is no fun in the games when everything you do is the exact same, that just reveals a new piece of story. Why dont they just give you the entire story and then say, hey go have fun shooting random BS for 14 hours? BEAUSE NOONE WOULD HAVE FUN! Theres no structure or event to it, just shoot this guy, shoot that guy, and OMG! THIS ONE HAS ONLINE PLAY! Shoot the stranger, and shoot the friend.

Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.
Dedicated? Are you kidding me? I'll set up a camp in front of the store a week before it's released!
But on the serious note, yes! Snow, rain, cold, windy, I don't care! If I catch a cold, I can still keep my feet in hot water and drink tea WHILE playing Diablo III!
I'm actually planning on standing in the cold and not sleeping so that I CAN catch a cold. Then I can legitimately take off of work for the next couple days. Either that or I have to fake the swine flu...

Your idea of FPS is quite interesting. The draw to the games has actually increased because of the advent of the "Smart AI", where there is the strong possibility, depending on the situation, that you will die. The goal is survival in any game you play (save solitaire).
But... using your logic, ARPGs (like Diablo) are the same. Kill the monster, pick up the item. Kill more monsters, get more items. Kill a boss, progress storyline to..... kill the monster, pick up the item. "Why don't they just give you the entire story and then say "hey, go have fun killing random monsters for 14 hours?" Because nobody would have fun!
Have I made my point yet? De gustibus non est disputandum - "There is no disputing about tastes" .... meaning lets not argue about opinions. They are, after all, opinions based on personal feeling, not fact.

Exactly, DIablo and other games are different, we have CHARACTER PROGRESSION.
Heres you char progression in a shooter.
Quest one: Kill a guy
"darn, now i need a new outfit to go undercover... Which FBI agent drops the breastplate?"
Yes, in diablo you fight for equips, b ut shooters are shot sshoot shoot, change outfit to blend in with the mob and kill a guy on the inside. No character progression. And QUESTS, ther enot ll the same, find a guy, kill a guy, find a secret area, rescue an NPC, find an item. Heres shhoting quests, shhot a guy, save a hostage or VIP.
Even Take the mopre severe character progression, example fable. You may do similar things for 20 hours, but penidng on how and which you do, thisgs CHANGE.

no not really, because SHOOTING implies that there is a chance to miss. We HIT enemies. theres no chance for our attacks to miss EXCEPT by terms of different skills, aand they are not the biggest part of the game. That in itslef disporves your shooting with different weapons theory.
And im not trying to be engative about a whole genre of gaames, im simply showing my distaste for that type, while defending the genre of my liking.

Look, heres what we all know but arent going to say. Every damn one of us will be up there in halloween costumes so noone notices us, weel sell out each store the first day, and when somone says "Did you hear about all those noobs sitting outside the store for two days to get the game? Loosers" we can put our costume away and say Yea, loosers, while the guy who FIRST said it, does the same.
