It's stricter in Last Light to get the happy ending. They made an FPS but they want you to spare all the monsters and people and just explore and make sure to find everything.

Although, if there are any differences with the Redux versions, I wouldn't know because I haven't played them.

What makes the gunplay so fun is how sporadic and even slow it can be, even the AI is careful because one bullet can kill you.

Probably, it was just such a simple concept that was executed fantastically the first time.

They could definitely have improved it by making the worlds SLIGHTLY explorable (ala nuDOOM), but their weird attempt at cagey open-world has really stunted the movement ironically and the focus on combat is really sad.
Sure Faith is a tough runner, that's her character, but it's stupid for her to fight so many people.

SoC is probably the least buggy with all the patches - it's the least open world and arguably has the best story.
CS is probably the buggiest, even with patches, and the story is the worst - but it's more open world and the combat/mechanics is better.
CoP is median in terms of bugs, the story is good, but not as good as SoC and it's the most open world of the three, with the best mechanics.

Either enter the series at SoC or CoP, CS is skippable unless you crave more STALKER.

First play-through fiddle with the difficulty until it's challenging enough (most veteran players will run on Master) and keep it stock.
From there, you can find any one of the dozens of mods to change the game in the way you prefer (graphics, story, mechanics, difficulty, behaviour, guns, etc).

Calm down, fanboy - the game isn't terrible, but there's no reason to play it when there's the original ME.

>>341422715
I'm not following you.

What I meant by what I posted was that the original game really didn't allow full freedom, so the design suffered slightly, but instead of tweaking the game towards a slightly explorable area, with a few different paths (best example would be nuDOOM), they went to the other end of the spectrum entirely and ruined how tight the game felt.
>>
>>341422827
>I know it's cool to shit on Open World now
I love open world games (except for fucking grind fests like MGS5), but some games just do a lot better with more linear settings.

The guys who made Metro weren't a huge studio and had limited funding - they needed the linearity to portray the atmosphere without going way over budget in terms of man hours - quality over quantity. If it had been an open world, we wouldn't of experienced the same quality of game; they made the right choice IMHO.

Thank you.

I try to get everyone I can to try it.
I first played it out of the $3 bargain bin when I was poor as fuck and honestly it's set an impossibly high bar for pacing in FPS games in my mind.

Riddick Games are dogshit when it comes to actual gameplay though, especially EFBB
>>
>>341424558
Yeah I definitely wouldn't say that the gunplay is what makes Riddick great
Haven't played it in ages, but don't you barely even get guns? The only segments I can remember where you consistently had a gun was during the short escape sequence before you're put on lockdown again and the thing where you have to shoot aliens
My memory's shit though

If you're after Escape for Butcher Bay - get Assault on Dark Athena, it's packaged with it.

>>341424705
>Yeah I definitely wouldn't say that the gunplay is what makes Riddick great
What?
The gunplay is solid, the AI is decent and the guns actual feel like they have impact.

>Haven't played it in ages, but don't you barely even get guns?
Guns are probably about 3/4 of the game if you include the mech segments.
But what makes the gunplay so fun is the tension created by the pacing - if you were spending the entire game blasting cunts away with unlimited ammo, it wouldn't feel so nice.

>>341424793
I am a bit crazy about that as well, but I never really noticed it and I believe it was fixed in the re-release packaged with AODA.
>>
>>341424783
Not to mention the universally accepted version of DOOM 1 is The Ultimate DOOM, which easily distinguishes it.
>>
Return to Castle Wolfenstein.
Wolfenstein 2009 was also pretty good and fun.
>>
>>341425251
I'm not saying the gunplay isn't decent, I'm saying it's not the main part that makes the game great
>But what makes the gunplay so fun is the tension created by the pacing
Fucking exactly. That you have to stealth around is not part of the gunplay
>>
>>341424705
There are segments with guns and without guns, exactly like you rmeembered. When you have guns the segments are fast paced and you rush through everyone without a fuck. When you don't have guns you have to play it slow and cool. So I'd say that you spend more time without them overall.
Starbreeze is an amazing studio tbqh. The darkness is another amazing game but it never got a PC port which is a shame. I think that they also did singularity which reminded me of bioshock with slightly better gameplay.

>>341425391
True it's not part of the gunplay, but it is what frames the gunplay.

Think about how much Metro benefited from the, admittedly brief, intermissions supplied by the stations.
IMHO you could have the best gunplay in the history of everything, but if you don't control the pacing, it gens monotonous and boring.
Riddick is never boring.

Fuck off, cunt. Metro would have only suffered from open world. Metro was great because it delivered focused and atmospheric experiences bound together by an enjoyable plot. If you made it open world you remove all ability to control what the player experiences and when, destroying all attempts at pacing and atmosphere. Metro had great action broken up with 'breathers' of engrossing paranormal shit.

If you want open world go and play fucking STALKER.

I'm sort of suprised that it's been removed from steam though. Other unsupported games are still on there, and futuremark is actually still an active company with other products on steam.

Far Cry 2 is one of my favourite games ever that really sucks you into the world they created.

I'll never understand peoples hate for the malaria. It appeared maybe once every hour and all you had to do was press a button and it goes away.
It doesn't even kill you if you leave it so you could theoretically continue playing the game under malaria effects.

I was surprised myself.

Usually I hate on-rail shooters with regenerating health, skill trees and a two-weapon limit. In fact I get bored after 5 minutes of playing said shooters.

But I guess Gunslinger was just so colorful and had a very interesting setting that you rarely see in FPS games that I just loved it. I even beat it on the hardest difficulty.

Soundtrack was amazing:

The developers knew their limitations and worked within them, and it's IMHO one of the best shooters to date.
Great setting, great concept, great humour, great art style, the narration is unique and yet still very high quality - all in a short, tidy package that has very little weaknesses.
