People weren't complaining, they were confused. It is an
Adventure game just in 3rd person... it doesn't have to be considerd a new genre, it's just an Adventure in 1st person.
like a 3rd person adventure... it doesn't need to be called a TPA because people already know it's an adventure game... any game in first person, guns or not, is assumed to be a FPS... but Metroid is not. Metroid is an Adventure game... that's in first person.

They're making the game, they could call it a freaking sports game if they want. If metroid had no guns, and he WASNT walking around not trying to hunt down enemys id see your point. thing is the thing that has ALWAYS classified a FPS, were 2 thigns. first person. and shooter.

Samus's main goal is to hunt down and kill everything she sees? Every game on the market that isn't a puzzle game is a RPG, because you are playing the role of a person you take over. But does that mean everything should be called an RPG?

i mean its in the name. im not arguing what its being named by nintendo. your dead on there, always have been, I'm arguing whether its right to call it that. and from what i seen its not. I see an adventure in Halo, i see an adventure in many other FPS, doesnt mean they're not FPS.

Do you know the difference between an Action and an Adventure game???

And to be honest, i COULD live with it being called adventure, (still wouldnt think its correct) but i dont like FPA, making a new catagory or name for the style when the style seems to be nothing we havnt seen before. it may have orriginal cocepts. may be a kick ass game. who knows.

Metroid is an Adventure game, if you like it or not... the term FPA was used to explain what it is. It isn't a genre, the "A" in FPA is the genre, the "FP" is just the camera view. A FPS gets it's own genre because a "Shooter" uses those guns that you shoot at the screen with.
