Blobber with guns
August 12th, 2018, 00:58
A M&M 6 style blobber with modern guns has always been a dream of mine, but can it even be done without looking cheesy?

6 wasn't a blobber, was it? You could walk around freely? Great game, though!
Maybe Vaporum, the steampunk blobber?
Or an old Amiga classic, Hired Guns was one of my favourites a long time ago. Sci-fi blobber where you have a separate view for each of your characters. Was a game ahead of its time.

Hmmmmmmmm…
I always thought it was about the movement being in blobs. I thought 6 was a party based FPS.

Nope, at least not in CRPGs; but easy enough mistake to make.
You've actually inspired me to finally determine the "official" date of origin here (RPGCodex):

Yeah, I've always understood a blobber as being a party-based game with one first-person view for the entire party. The movement being turn-based or real time is independent of that.

Well, there's StarCrawlers- a futuristic / sci-fi blobber.

I think I get where you're coming from. The archery in mm6 was really good and you'd just spam one fire key for it while walking backwards. No other games had archery quite like this.
I haven't played mm7 yet.

Now we need a term for the specific sub-genre discussed in this thread.
We could simply call this a multiple first person shooter rpg. A tiny bit wordy.
Instead, lets mix shooter with blobber, since it is such a convenient term. So…
Blooper?

Star Crawlers is a pretty decent game, too. Well worth playing if you've not given it a try as of yet.
