Well, this free week has given me something to think about. Hopefully more people will join RO and see how much fun no-crosshairs/no-conefire can be in an FPS game. Additionally, it made me realise that not everyone likes this sort of game, and that companies obviously need to follow the money and we can't expect other groups to follow suit with realistic-type games.
That made me think: Will Tripwire have to make all my future FPS purchases? Maybe... but I was wondering whether this type of gameplay appeals to everyone in other genres, or if WWII is key.
Do you play RO because it's WWII based, or because it's realistic, or both? If Tripwire were to make other FPS games in different settings (Vietnam, Korea, Science Fiction, Pirates, etc...) while retaining the 'realism', would you be just as pleased?
