Some of ROBLOX's most popular and well-received games are its FPS games & fighting games, and today I'm going to be going over the history behind them; and how far they've come in the last 17 years.

I left out many games because I couldn't talk about them all. Also, I often mixed up the terms FPS and ˢʰᵒᵒᵗᵉʳ by mistake. Sorry about that.

  • note: there's nearly 70 chapters in this video, and yet i wasn't able to include every popular ROBLOX fighting game. i did not include frontlines because it was released the day after i finished the video. i didnt "forget" any game june 2023 edit: plugins were not released in 2015 they were released in 2011 What was i on
  • You forgot to mention Blood and Iron, released in April 2009, which inspires the creation of multiple Napoleonic Wars themed games, especially Waterloo in 2021, which is known for having over a thousand players fight against army-sized groups in real time
  • @scp_1012
    I feel like one major community that wasn't mentioned but has a long lasting history (since the creation of groups) are clans. Basically clans are the esports of Roblox. They were groups of people with highly skilled combat and would scrimmage other groups or raid their dedicated bases. It has a long-lasting history (still active today but not as strong) but it was a major part of my time on Roblox from 2017-2022 and i'll never forget it. Some names that come up having a major history relating to clans is RCL (The gun system used), futuretops (Training/scrim place), vaktovia (strongest group in the clan world), etc etc.
  • @desii3299
    rogue lineage + deepwoken are influential fighting games (which i would consider fighting games by your standards, since you have blox fruits in there) that werent mentioned arcane adventures too
  • @kesuyami
    I appreciate the hard work you put into this vids! I always enjoy them :)
  • I feel like train games on Roblox should be covered since they’re really interesting, from the first trains in Thrillvile to the Cart Rides, to the Krauss Mountain Railroad (KMR) being the most scenic train game in 2012, to terminal railways, to the popularity of Rails Unlimited, and who knows what’s gonna come next
  • 16:09 I miss Black Magic. I have so many fond memories, and I occasionally went back and played it every so often. I remember the people who played the really weird complex classes that you had to used the keyboard letters to perform combos. I didn't use them cause I never was that good, but I loved playing the Cyber Bruiser. I tried the sequel, and while its a lot more polished, it definitely wasn't my cup of team. It gutted the fun clunkiness of the original. But life goes on.
  • 23:00 - God, I, LOVE, Ragdoll Universe. They're frankly one of the best not only FPS' on roblox, but also one of the best games on the platform. It's honestly an example of how people can make genuinely fun, interesting, and high-effort experiences. It sucks how people don't play it much now, but I've been playing it practically everyday ever since I've found it. I just hope people can make more games like these.
  • @mattress9700
    These videos give such great insight into the history of roblox. Great video keep up the effort man!
  • @molanhao2281
    Always love your Roblox history videos! Keep up the good work.
  • @conseiller_
    There is one game that i thought i would see in this video, Elemental Battlegrounds, where you could have many spells, combine elements, unlock other elements and fuse them with others, at its peak, it was a good game, with also a pve mode to farm gems
  • @realjame
    Really well-made video, The Underground War has been one of my favorite Roblox games for over a decade :^)
  • @Mug0ddity
    I would genuinely be so interested in a similar video about Roblox MMORPG exploration games , they are a pretty big genre and it contains some of the most well made and beautiful games on the platform ( Deepwoken , Fantastic Frontier , Vesteria etc. ) Many people , including me , would for sure be thrilled to see the evolution of this monumental Roblox genre .
  • @krom1942
    -This video was really helpful to remember old games that I haven't played, and still until this day I check this video to try old favorite games that I used to play. -Appreciate the video 👍
  • @nomnom2610
    You should have includes Wings of Glory!!! Its a game that I happily work on and it was released on the 1st January 2016 and its a game I love, it is a really detailed and fairly realistic air fighter plane/jet combat game (similar in concept to war thunder) and it has almost garnered over 46 million visits. It would have been great to include for 2016 games as that year was lacking.
  • @wtco8883
    very great video! It would be great if you could edit the three parts together for a history of all the major game modes of Roblox!
  • thank you for bringing up authority, that game was literally my childhood and i will forever hold it dear <3
  • you are one of the channels i flock to for nostalgia, thank god your channel exists ❤️❤️
  • @CrxzyForever
    i just wanted to say that i love pretty much all of your videos they are so interesting and entertaining
