I prefer horizontal. Vertical shooters seem to just focus on dozens of enemies and hundreds of bullets, but horizontal shooters usually have a more reasonable amount of things going on and a pretty large focus on level design; verticals seem to only have pretty backgrounds and few even have interactive levels.
fpses like tf2 are okay but i hate most of them
horizontal
they all suck

No, it's because you suck at games and you can only play RPGs because you have no fingers.

I like horizontal, too. Vertical just seems awkward. It really depends on the game, though.

I think you guys have forgotten that Space Invaders and Galaga are vertical shooters.

I like Galaga, but Lightening Force and the Gradius games are much butter.
Life Force has both vertical and horizontal so that's kind of ljgasdgs :'(

I don't think you understand the meaning of "Third Person Shooter".
NO ONE LIKES POOR ARCADE SHOOTERS LIKE IKARUGA AND MARS MATRIX AND RADIANT SILVERGUN?
Well, Radiant Silvergun sucks, so maybe that doesn't leave much :'(

Third person shooters could include those horizontal or vertical ones or stuff like gears of War and Grand Theft Auto.

um not rly
I really dislike horizontal shooters. Megaman, Metroid, none of them. Vertical shooters are alright, and FPSes are my favorite of the genre.
I don't really play shooters on a regular basis though
I never play any shooters befuddlement

Horizontal also includes Gradius, R-Type, Sinistron, etc.

If it's not first person, it's second person.
Second person would be like you looking into the brains of the thing you're controlling and watching as the computer controls you.
3rd person is 4 hxc
Onest person

You've never played it.
Also, I generally prefer horizontal, though vertical can be done just as nicely.

Yes, I have.
And I can honestly say it's godawful.

Okay. I'll just assume you're being your usual picky self here, since usually when you say something is "god awful," it could very well mean that I enjoy it.

I normally love all shmups. Hell, I even kind of like Phalanx. But Radiant Silvergun is just terrible and I really can't bear to play it for more than two minutes.
Ikaruga was done right, so I'm glad Treasure managed to clean themselves up.
I like fps.

I don't know how I forgot them either, but the only good ones are made by Sega.
And the FPS option was just a joke option so you're all idiots.

I'd say second person shooters if the camera angles didn't suck so bad

I don't even consider shooters that aren't 1st person as shooters, I consider them arcade gamez.

Also, Nyerp, I'm an N64 child. And further back an NES, but just the good games like SMB3, Spy Hunter, Muppet Adventures: Chaos at the Carnival, TMNT, Rad Racer, Duck Hunt, Wrecking Crew, etc.

It'll break your balls at first, but the first two levels will be extraordinarily easy after practicing a bit.
But god damn, that third level is where I lose most of my lives.
I prefer 2nd person shooter.
btw, i havet been here in a long time.
hai.

I somehow seem to always die on the second boss. I'll get up close and blast him, then I guess I move up a pixel too much to not get crushed from behind and crash. :'(
The game doesn't feel hard on normal mode, but I just keep making stupid mistakes and it doesn't help to have atrocious vision that makes it hard to see most dark shots.
Also, I like the third level because those rods remind me of the end of Life Force.
I like the ones where you get to kill people. Killing = great fun

It's too new. Filled with bugs.
I changed my mind. Vtech is my favorite. It came out, what, mid 2007? The devs have had a lot of time to fix bugs
although the ending sucked, ***SPOILERS*** you die
First Person. Other than that, I don't really like shooters much.

Be that as it may, I'd still take the Beltway Sniper over all others in this genre. The open world environment only adds to the experience.

I liked Jokela shooter over that POS. Although, it is foreign.
