>>21770402Your best bet to get Kiara more into FPS is to tie it in with something she actually cares about (since she doesn't really care about FPS). Paladins worked because it had the hook with Ame for her, but even that only lasted for two streams (to be fair tho, no one actually wants her to become a full time fps streamer that plays nothing else anyway).
So if Ame or someone else she cares about approaches her about playing some coop fps, Kiara sure would be down (now even more that she got over her initial apprehension of fps in general and saw that, while not her favorite genre, it's also not as bad and unfun as she always feared).
Unfortunately, the most played fps in Hololive is Apex, and that's still a bad game for her as a beginner (long time to action, you can get quickly taken out without being able to do much, then it's back to long requeuing, which is frustrating for her). The best genre for her would be quick teambased arena shooters, like Paladins, Valo, OW. Teambased is good because she can get carried and doesn't have to shoulder too much responsibility. Quick and small arena is good because you're not wasting time bored going around aimlessly scavenging. Time to kill is fast, and even if you're taken out just as fast (which will happen a lot for a beginner like her), no biggy, you're back in the action within 10 seconds respawned.
Or horde shooters like L4D2 would be good for her, because she clearly enjoys the social aspect of playing with her collab partners the most, and can live out her ratatatatata fantasies.
For single player stuff, I think a strong narrative based linear entry level game would be best. There needs to be some story progression that makes her care about what's actually happening instead of just mindless shooting and looking for keys, like in oldschool boomer shooters. Clear linear path/goals is best because she tends to get lost/frustrated in oldschool mazes or newschool open worlds. And of course there should be reasonably low or adjustable difficulty, so she can actually finish the game and not give up (also a length of around 10-15 hrs is best, so she can finish it in 2-3 streams and it doesn't drag on).
Something like the Bioshocks fit the bill. Other than that, I still think she would like Mass Effect. It has a reasonably interesting story, lovable characters, familiar rpg mechanics and the shooting part is not a high skill hurdle (can be difficulty adjusted into piss easy), sure it's sci-fi which she "doesn't like", but someone just needs to tell her that she can romance cute alien girls and hopefully that'll convince her at least.
