I like how FPS's in Germany are called Ego Shooters
What should it be called?
Metriodvania...where two action adventure games (Metroid, Castlevania) create a sub genre where Platformers meet interconnected world maps
Multiplayer Online Battle Arena. That's so unbelievably nonspecific to what it entails I don't know where to start.
Quake is multiplayer, online, and features battles in arenas. Likewise, Halo... Call of Duty... Street Fighter, so on...
Yup, its true. And I thought its used outside of germany, together with fps.Wait, is this really a thing? If so this is bar none the best.
Oh. I was hoping you had a real answerKick 'em and Stick 'em
shit literally anything else.
Imo it's probably the dumbest name ever, i really don't understand who invented it and how people can use it, what the hell "character" action means?!?!?!?!?!?"Character action"
jk. It's fucking stupid.
Character action.
I think it's good to differentiate action games that demand intimate knowledge of combat mechanics and mastery, from the rest of the relatively mindless "hack n slash" genre. "Character action" isn't the best term but it seems to stick, so I'll take what I can get.
What the hell "character" means? Don't all the games have "character"?What should it be called?

So glad this fantastic genre is taking over the industry by storm. Really brings out the best in developers, publishers, and Us Gamers.
It's swell.
JUST SO GOTDAMN GREAT
But those sound dumb and terrible too 😔Stylish action, stylish beat'em up, 3d beat'em up, fighting action, level based fighting, technical fighting/action/beat'em up.... you could think of billions of names that simply make sense and for that reason are 1000x times better than the "character" action non-sense.
