What FPS games would you recommend someone that wants a fun and hard shooter to play? Can be old or new.
Basically, which game, for you, represents the pinnacle of FPS games?
>>338131376
Serious Sam games
Shadow Warrior Reboot
Hard Reset
Painkiller Black Edition
>>338131376
>>338131770
Is Hard Reset really good? I kinda assumed 2 guns gets boring fairly quick
>>338131376
BLOOD
>>338131376
Really depends on what you want.
Gothic rpg with good story and attention to details, lots of paths but a weak gameplay? vampire bloodlines.
Scary fps/rpg? System shock 2
Competitive Multiplayer? CSGO
Lots too choose from. Hell i fucking loved bioshock infinite even if its an on-rail shooter.
>>338131482
Wolf3d doesnt do it for me. Its way too basic. Doom on the other hand had all the depth it needed to after all these years be still worth playing
>>338132348
Honestly just a simple shooter. Story, setting and graphics don't matter. Just want really satisfying shooting mechanics and relatively good enemies. Basically something that's simply a good shooter to its core.
>>338133057
Serious Sam
Quake 1
All Dooms
>>338131376
Deus ex, half life 1, quake 1/qw, unreal gold, stalker SoC with the autumn aurora 2 mod, fallout new Vegas, cpma, warsow, cs 1.6, csgo, ut99/2k4 and project reality.
>>338133057
Painkiller is solid
>>338132119
Each gun has 5 firing modes, and each of these firing modes has a primary and secondary attack
>>338132119
It has more than two guns. And yeah it's pretty good.
>>338132119
There's two guns, but multiple forms those guns take. It's a damn good game. Painkiller Black, Shadow Warrior 2013, the new Doom, Blood, etc. are all great too.
Not the pinnacle by a long shot but Soldier of Fortune is a fun, fast shooter, can be quite tough on the higher difficulty levels. There's a "community version" which runs on newer OS floating around
Hijacking the thread to ask :
are there any goodprocedural or roguelitefps games?
>>338131376
Descent 2
usual suspects like doom, quake, douk etc
Unreal
Oh and Hexen too
Is it me or are shooters in decline these past few years? I remeber when before all we would get are shooters left and right. Right now all we get are indie 2d games, walking simulators and RPGs.
>>338133763
Say what nigger? DOOM just released and shadow warrior 2 is coming out soon
DOOM and DOOM 2
The DOOM game is pretty good. And ultra-nightmare is fucking relentless.
>>338133724
> hexen
holy shit nigger the memories. I need to get zdoom now and play it again.
>>338133695
I only know Ziggurat, though haven't played it myself.
>>338133695
besides Obligee+BrutalDoom, i dont know if there is such thing avaible, but if you like rlrpg, there is Delver.
there is also another RL first person wich i am looking forward to play, but its not done yet
http://jollyrogers99.tumblr.com/
>>338133695
ziggurat and sub level zero are both ok, I havn't played any others though
>>338133816
2 decent games (still with problems) in a sea of bullshit
Doom won't change anything the way the original did but it had that chance
Shadow Warrior Classic (Redux also works if you tweak it properly) and Jedi Outcast.
>>338131376
Fear
>>338132591
I would replay wolfenstein if it had a automap
>>338131376
doom
quake 3
unreal 1
fear 1
halo 1 & 2
Devil Daggers is really good if you just want a good shooting experience. It's only a game where you stand on a single platform and try to survive waves of enemies that gib you in one hit.
I liked it for three reasons.
Weapon in the fucking middle. Graphics and aesthetics worked. Shooting felt good.
If you don't mind something that's incredibly short and arcade, Call of Juarez Gunslinger is amazing.
>Basically, which game, for you, represents the pinnacle of FPS games?
In terms of level design and movement physics, Quake 1.
In terms of weapons, Unreal.
>>338132227
Not using alt fire to fire both barrels at once.
>>338131376
The new Doom is pretty damn good.
>>338131376
quake 1, the first truly 3d fps.
all downhill from there.
>>338134861
I was shocked at how good it turned out to be. They did a terrible job advertising it, they made it look like the worst console garbage ever. Too bad the multiplayer is mediocre and already dead.
>>338134870
>quake 1
>first 3d fps
there were a bunch that came before quake like descent and jumping flash
Tribes Ascend

>>338137275
Oh, and Duke Nukem 3D, Dark Forces, and Half-Life: Opposing Force.
And if you're feeling fancy, BulletStorm and BioShock 2.
Multiplayer? CPMA
>>338131376
Bioshock 1 and 2
>>338132227
This.
Also Timesplitters 2 was quite fun.
>>338131376
rainbow 6 vegas 2 was my favourite FPS ever, before that it was men of valour
both are utterly dead now tho
>>338131376
in no way perfect, but extremely fun and difficult, brutal doom.
bonus: it works with chex quest
Fear 1
Red faction 2
Quake 2
Devil daggers
Wolfenstein: The New Order
Receiver
Killing floor
Ziggurat
>>338131376
RAGE.
No seriously it's a fantastic shooter with great level design but crap world design.
>>338133695
I enjoyed Tower of Guns.
>>338134285
This actually. Great game but could have been fleshed out a bit more.
>>338139302
Tower of Guns was fucking great honestly. All that fucking nonsensical dialogue.
>>338131923
I once met Serj in Hartford back in '01. He had bad breath.
>>338137275
Half Life, F.E.A.R, and Halo aren't hard though
>>338131482
>hitscan mazewalker: the game
just because its recognized as a steppingpoint in the genre doesn't mean it is worth playing today. it isn't fun like doom or even blake stone
>>338137275
>Halo: Combat Evolved
I want this meme to stop.
As a shamless halodrone who has as least 2000~ hours per game and has read all the books, CE really hasn't aged all that well.
It's still a great game but the campaign's level design is filled with repetitive, endless cooridors, the later missions reuse the levels from earlier ones just with some changes, and there's not nearly as much enemy or weapon variety as later games. The story is also paper thin compared to other titles. Even the outdoor areaas which set it apart from other games are very empty and wide open and don't have enough density to work as well as later games.
Though, I suppose in a lot of those ways /v/ would like it more for it since those are all traits more in line with 90's shooters, whereas after CE it sorta took more advantage over the bars it set itself and changed it up.
All together, that means CE is way more tedious and gets stale faster then other Halo games. The MP also lacks all the modularity in gamertype editing and forge stuff, which is halo's biggest draw in my opinion in the MP department.
Anyways, if I had to pick a halo game to mention here, it'd be 2. Best story/writing in the series, longest campaign, arguably the best core gameplay in the series, etc.
>>338137275
On legendary/heroic it's really not any easier then the rest of those on average, and Halo 2 on legendary is ridiculous.
>>338138632
Quite fun? It's near perfection. Then 3 came out and was shit
Rainbow Six Siege is amazing,I sunk like 400 hours into it and Im still playing.
The community is toxic though und ubisoft jews you out of the ass for skins and dlc Operators.
Gotta play it with at least one friend and voice to have a Chance in ranked
Planetside 2 is all kinds of fun. The game has its faults and is pretty punishing at first, but great once you get the hang of it.
It's also the most unique multiplayer shooter out there.
>>338140456
>Rainbow Six Siege is amazing
Have they fixed the godawful matchmaking that throws you into servers outside of your region? I'm sick of playing on Burger servers with 100+ ping.
>>338131376
>the pinnacle of FPS games has to be hard
Challenge gamers should be gassed.
>>338131376
Metro 2033. The only way it could be better is if it had the open world scavenging opportunities of STALKER.
>>338140835
I guess,most of the time I get a pink between 30 and 60
>>338140990
Don't forget good AI and a good story. The AI in bother Metro games is laughably stupid.
>>338140887
(you)
>>338139731
I disagree. They all have multiple difficulties, and are challenging at higher settings. Any game in my list is easy if you play on Easy, and vice versa.
>>338140019
I haven't played Halo: CE for year now, so maybe I'm forgetting things, but I always found the core gameplay enjoyable - even with the modern flaws (corridors, two weapon limit, regenerating health, etc.). Weapon variety was high enough that it never got boring, and it went further than the usual assault rifle / shotgun / sniper combo. Some enemies also took more thought than any man-with-gun, like using the plasma pistol to pop shields in one charged shot. So while the last part of the game was pretty dull, when you were fighting nothing but the flood, I remember having a lot of fun up until then. It kept me engaged in that way many modern shooters completely fail to.
Not the pinnacle of FPSs but Prey is a pretty good game, good story and interesting weapons. Also it has fucking amazing intro, IMO.

Bought pic related yesterday and am already in love with it. From what i know it's the old ROTT with a modern graphics polish, but damn if it isn't a fun and fast shooter.
The only thing that bothers me is that you can't carry an arsenal of weapons like older games, having only 2 main weapons with infinite ammo and then a super weapon with limited ammo. Was the original ROTT like this as well?
