What's another first-person shooter with a really good story? I love Half Life but i've played it a bunch. I want to be fully immersed
>>
borderlands 1
bulletstorm
doom 1

boku no pico

wolfenstein the new order

Metro 2033 don't buy the redux it's a downgrade to make the game run better on consoles
>>
I know this might be over rated, but Fallout is pretty good.
>>
>>335109951
Playing shooters for the story is like eating soup because you like the spoon.
>>
>>335109951
Prey
>>
>>335110176
that's a terrible comparison. i like the immersion first person shooters provide for me personally, so that intense action combined with a compelling story is nice combo for me. Spoons don't compliment soup, I can drink it from the bowl.
>>
>>335110138
Is this really true, no shitposting? Cause I started playing redux and while it looks nice, something seems off with the models and environments, compared to what I vaguely remember the original looking like in videos trailers (didnt play it)
>>
>>335110325
This,
It's like watching porn for the story.
Not needed but makes it more interesting
>>
>>335110351
Absolutely zero shitposting. The Redux looks signicantly worse.

They remade 2033 using Last Light assets in the Last Light engine iteration which stripped out a whole bunch of fucking advanced atmospherics and lighting techniques available in the original so they could put it on consoles without there being an enormous disparity like there was between the original version on 360 versus pc. The literal only improvement is the model quality for characters. Everything else is the same or worse.

Dynamic muzzle flashes, advanced DoF fog, a whole bunch of other complex atmospherics, all stripped out.

>>335110138
Redux is objectively better you shitstain
>>
>>335111152
op here, why is that?
>>
>>335111152
>objectively
care to back that up with some objective examples fampai?
>>
>>335111320
Better stealth mechanics, better redesigned levels, better newer character models
>>
>>335111512
>better stealth mechanics
If you like LL's stealth I think we're going to have to agree to disagree
>>
>>335110138
If you're fine with bugs, but you want to feel the very bleakness, hopelessness, sadness, depression, and claustrophobia that the novel portrats - then go with the original. Redux has a lighter atmosphere.
>>
Portal 2, BioShock series, metroid prime series, Dead Space (though it's actually third person), Borderlands 2 (not a great story, but still worth it). And some of the Call of Duties have fantastic story modes, CoD 3 and Black Ops especially
>>
>>335109951
>suddenly aliums attack
>shit goes down
>good plot
With all due respect for Half-Life, i wouldn't call it a good plot.
>>
>>335111152
New armor designs look less slav, and clip through itself since they're more bulky
>>
>>335114771
please stop
you can do that with literally any story
>>
>>335114873
Half-Life was good because scripted sequences that created unique atmosphere, and they're mostly not even part of the main plot, but rather part of "shits going down"
>>
>>335114305
Have played all of those, loved them except for borderlands 2, that got boring pretty quick for me.
>>
>>335109951
Guys, is F.E.A.R. any good? Similar to Half Life? Worth playing? Otherwise, hows Metro last light?
>>
>>335117101
Fear is TECHNOLOGY as fuck, go play it
>>
>>335117101
FEAR is fantastic. It's very focused on combat, but the story is good too. The 'scary' sections are super deadpan though. It's really a GOAT game and you should play it right now.

Also, in case you use logitech peripherals, if it performs like shit for no reason there's an easy fix if you google it.
>>
>>335109951
Deus Ex?
>>
>>335117101
Yes to both.
Start with metro 2033 before Last light though.
>>
>>335109951
No One Lives Forever. Just go play them. They're the shit.

Also, Bioshock, I guess? The combat is crap, but the atmosphere is good. Plus, you'll get to experience maximal immersion since it's underwater.

Max Payne games are TPS, but they have great stories. Same with Mafia.

>the story is good too
No it's not, it's pretty barebones. I actually liked Fear 2 story more.
>>
>>335109951
Prey
FEAR
BioShock 1+2
Singularity
