Category missing: Third Person Shooter

[entity]

Even if Uncharted might be more of an "Adventure", what about games like 50 Cent: BotS, the Army of Two series or Unit 13?

Those games are all about shooting from a third person's view and perhaps upgrading one's weapons, but that's about it.

I'm pretty sure Action covers this too.  The genres are kind of vague and general, and they don't support multiple genres (i.e. Borderlands == FPS & RPG).

Pretty sure it doesn't. Going by this argumentation, as good as anything is action and nearly every other category could be gotten rid of.

Uhhh... go look at any third person shooter, they are all classified as "Action"

I mean, if you want to be pedantic, anything that requires an action on your part, yeah, but that's just shenanigans.

Again, I'm sure a lot of work could be done to revamp the genre system, but I'm pretty sure that's something the admins are working on.

I see what you did there... and it is bare of any logic.

You are trying to prove that Action is the correct genre by pointing out that many games have been categorized like that in the absence of a better-fitting category... d'uh.

Idk if you are capable of reading their minds, but it would be nice if they told us if they are working on anything like that, right here in this thread. So far the only statement about their current WIP is the Shelf View.
