TF2 is not /v/ approved. It's highly popular & therefore gets a lot of talk but with that comes a lot of vocal disapproval.
Halo series is similar, but Halobabbies wouldn't stop talking about it no matter how badly trashed it gets by objective critiques so /v/ just ignore it.

>>
>>336448665
Remember the OP query.
Far Cry 1 has its share of disapproval. Nobody has played FC2 so those who have & like it are the only posts I see on /v/.
Half-Life episodes reminds /v/ about episodic sequels which is highly disapproved of. It also reminds /v/ of Half-Life 3's NEVER EVER, which is highly disapproved of, though that's waning now.

>Far Cry 1 has its share of disapproval. Nobody has played FC2 so those who have & like it are the only posts I see on /v/.
That's interesting, my experience is the exact opposite: few people discuss FC1 and whenever the franchise is brought up people don't hesitate to shit on FC2.

I replayed medal of honor frontline, rising sun and european assault on GC recently. I can tell you that those should definitely be avoided at all costs

>>336448981
Well, lately 1 isn't discussed much since /v/ has grown much younger, but back in its time & as discussion of it waned it was so.
I'm not surprised that I missed discussions shitting on 2, both those games are so rarely spoken of nowadays, & 2 was initially disregarded nearly completely, but over time I noticed a trend of those who actually played it liking it, & them getting no resistance, so I think too few people have played it. FarCry can just eat shit anyway, I mean I thought 1 was technically cool but that was it really.

Far Cry 2 should be scrubbed from that list. We just had a thread last night on it where people rallied against it fairly hard.

I personally remember playing it and being super unimpressed with it. There's a lot of design choices in that game that left me scratching my head or unsatisfied. I recall being almost entirely turned off the game by constantly re spawning checkpoint guards. Oh and the whole malaria thing? Annoying and little else.

Far Cry 2 is silly, /v/ is silly for liking it so much. It wasn't a horrible game but compounding faults drag the whole production down something awful.

I want an FPS where you point your gun forward only if you're doing something that warrants it, like aiming, hipfiring or shouldering it on purpose (for the purpose of slow walk and quicker aiming)

Hipfiring should be wildly inaccurate especially on full auto, firing from the shoulder without firing should be rather stable but you can't really estimate where the bullets go, and aiming should have lots of dynamic sway (suppression, pain, fatigue)

Damage should be TRULY realistic - a shot to the heart is nigh-instantly fatal (only letting you pull the trigger down once), but a blown out leg should kill you within a minute without binding it. For gameplay reasons you should be able to give up, with extra score given if you wait for a medic(s) to carry you to the evac point. Respawning should be done from automatically back-and-forth going trucks/apcs (that can be destroyed) so action still keeps going with a tactical option to delay the enemy with a strike behind their lines.

Also, there game should include lots of high-pitched screams. Most games just have grunts and such - there needs to be more ABSOLUTE PANIC from the top of your lungs. Death is like that for many.

The game has bad enemy variety, the monsters' gimmicks get old, some guns feel really underpowered, the two types of ammo gimmick is really shitty because you only use two top tier guns in your repertoire (okay, that's not true, stasis field is good vs. gorillas and gravity grenade vs. small annoying things).

The fact that all you faggots get so damn upset by the existence of BD lets me know something.

I have shitloads of fun with it and it has made Doom a deeper experience, requiring more skills, and I prefer that. The game is more demanding and enemies shoot bullets, which you can see, unlike the original which only has hit detection but no actual projectile.

I literally don't care what anyone thinks: I enjoy BD. I've enjoyed classic Doom since the 90's, but I prefer BD.

I'm samefagging & shilling here because nobody seems to have played this game, I included it as a bit of bait. I know /v/'s stance on walking sims, & I share it, but considering I'm a fan of Blame!, when I tried this game out I was pleasantly surprised. It wasn't Blame! but it was what I expected of a Blame! game.

Basically, if you're feeling like something atmospheric & visually entertaining, give it a shot. Mind-altering substances optional. It knows it's art, but it's not poetic English major bullshit that most other walking sims are, I appreciate it for it's mostly visual art, & if there's any symbology in there I ignored it.

>I don't recall seeing this game mentioned on /v/ at all, & would like more input.
In my opinion, it is a very atmospheric semi-openworld shooter (hub levels with multiple goals and some quiet areas where you can shop or hire allies) set in dystopian dieselpunk world (kinda like GTA2) where you play as a shittiest person imaginable killing the likes of you to become the boss of them all. The beginning suffers from bullet-sponge enemies but once you got shotgun and SMG, that's not much of a problem. It has little to no plot though. That guy summed it up pretty well:

Don't forget to grab 'nowthat'swhaticallmidi'. Adds a bunch of neat metal and hard rock songs converted into midi.
There's also Demonsteele if you wanna play a first-person DMC.
Just make sure to bind the action key for your dedicated launch button :^)
You can grab both here.
And a vid for Demonsteele.

None of the items are super special that I've found. Just mostly different sizes of medkits and armorkits to hold onto in a pinch and ammo vests. Just spam the key when you need it.

That doesn't mean that it's actually good.

>beat you over the head with it's story, constantly interrupting gameplay
>Bioshock Infinite level design
>it's more effective to take cover and play it like CoD than to actually move around
>video game simulator leveling system

I went into it expecting something like the new Shadow Warrior, which was fun, if worse than the original (with that pointless level up bullshit) and all I got was CoD: Alternate History Warfare

After amending to remove HL2 from the list, I'm amending to remove Black Mesa as well after remembering complaints that it doesn't implement the interesting AI actions capable in HL1.

i already have demonsteele, played some of going down with it a while ago

it's pretty clowny.

>>336453814
thanks, i have some version of this saved already! i'd recommend reelism to anyone scrolling past because it's dumb as fuck and i love it.

Don't forget bullet sponge enemies on higher difficulties so there's no reason to play on them.

>>336453928
It definitely requires some big maps with lods of enemies to actually be worthwhile.
I just love upping that style meter man. How's Reelism though? Is it like an arena WAD?

>>336454010
Yeah, I'm about to restart it with the metalmidi WAD.

They completely changed the AI for Steam release. Made the game easier, sadly. Of course, given that it's essentially a paid mod, I don't expect /v/ to like it.
>>
>>336445203
what exactly are you trying to convey other than that rendering and the amount of polygons had improved?
>>
>>336454059
reelism is a clusterfuck in .wad form

it's wave survival with a slot machine for weapon types/gameplay (physics, etc)/enemy types and they're all incredibly silly.

Red Orchestra series

It ain't me starts playing

>>336447025

Same here. One of the few games that scared the shit outta me.

>>336453861
The OP is about games that have approval, not whether or not people find them good. Sorry, I shouldn't have used "good" in my earlier reply, that just confused things.

I woudn't be surprised if others share your perspective, looking back at it now, I actually do, but the line between approval & disapproval of a game is quite fuzzy... Wait, yeah, I can see that it's not the kind of game the majority of /v/ would approve of. It's getting harder to read /v/'s opinion when posters have started to learn to stay away from threads they have no interest in, instead of going in there & teaching faggots to dislike games.

Amended to scratch The New Order from the list. Only Return to Castle Wolfenstein remains.
>>
>>336454249
While the game did give me some jumpscares, I mostly liked it for the atmosphere, story, gameplay elements & overall design. But it's a good sign when different people like the same game for different reasons.
>>
>>336453861
>I went into it expecting something like the new Shadow Warrior
>It ended up not being that
>Therefore it is bad
Who is to blame here?
>>
It's unfortunate what happened with Rage. Nice gunplay, but mediocre campaign & vehicle gameplay.
>>
>>
>>336455087
Yeeeaaaaaahhhh, I'd like to know /v/'s opinion but I can already see the shitposts:
>Playstation Move
>Playstation
>Games
>FPS on a console

Filtering through them for the actual critiques will be tough.

>>336453861
>it's more effective to take cover and play it like CoD than to actually move around
What are some good, recent (even relatively) single-player FPS that put an emphasis on fast movement, preferably the CUHRAYZEE kind?
>>
>>336455347

or even old games that have aged well.

Have you ever actually played any other Wolfenstein game (except for the Atari stealth one, I guess)?

unmentioned 10/10 titles:

Project IGI 2

Call of Duty gets an honorable mention now that normalfags hate it.

I only played the PSP one and I can say it's a rare post 2006 shooter that I enjoyed.

NOLF is actually real nice, adding it.

Is there any /v/ disapproval of Thief 2? I know Thief 1 has some disapproval but 2 is considered the best isn't it?

Tribes: Ascend was brutally murdered.

I suppose Tribes 2 is still worth a mention, though.
>>
>>336447025
>Painkiller
a shit rip off of Serious Sam
>Far Cry 2
meh

Don't know Descent, Hexen and Heretic from the list.

Far Cry 2 would have been good if stealth was actually possible instead of
>silently shoot one guy
>everyone in village immediately homes in on you and you can't lose them
then 3 went and dumbed down the stealth to the point where getting seen is a rare occurrence.
>>
>>336458825
Still, that game is incredibly immersive.
