Why don't you like newer FPS?
Battlefield is odd, 3 and 4 have so much shit going on that it should be awesome but just don't have that satisfying feeling that 1942, 2 and 2142 had.
I do
I'm eagerly awaiting Squad
too slow
Fave genre is FPS, playing bf3 right now and looking forward to get black ops 3 at some point.
Fuck bf4 for punkbuster being retarded and having 10 fucking minutes of loading time.
They cost too much.
>Game seems fun I'll bu-
>PRE-ORDER NOW JUST $120 (PLUS TAX) FOR THE ENTIRE EXPERIENCE (NOT COUNTING RETAILER EXCLUSIVE BONUSES FOR PRE-ORDERING)
>I guess I'll wait a year for all the DLC and game to be $60

>>315611234
Do people play Vanilla BF3 on PC much? Got it free and don't have DLC
>>315611401
Yeah, there is a fair amount playing (atleast in europe)
>>315611576
Oh, I'm American. I use to play it on 360 at launch and built a PC last year. Just gonna give it a download and see. Never had any of the DLC on xbox even. Wish they'd make it free like Titanfall did
>>315610795
The scale always shits me in FPS's. All of them. Look at that pic. It'd be what... a 3min walk to get from there to the path on the other side of the river in real life? In game it's about a 20sec walk.
They all feel like you're playing in a miniature set.
>>315611401
I'm downloading it now as I just remembered I haven't played it since getting a new graphics card. And I like the sound of explosions.
>>315610795
I do like newer FPSes.
TNO and OB were great. I played BF4 for a couple hundred hours and I'm playing UT a couple times a week.
the only FPS game I was looking forward to this year was Battlefront and the beta was fucking trash
the whole game was dumbed down to stupid levels. i mean, vehicles and special weapons as randomly spawning mario kart pickups? what the fuck?
>>315611795
>i mean, vehicles and special weapons as randomly spawning mario kart pickups? what the fuck?
>>315611709
would that walk seriously take you 3 minutes?
fat fuck
>>315611795
Thank the people who kept memeing about it being a battlefield reskin. DICE were desperate not to make it one so they removed features that are similar to BF at all
>>315611663
There are most likely more people playing on US servers. Just make sure to search for games at peak times and you'll definitely find people playing.
Hell, on EU servers, there are sometimes 3-4 servers with hardcore running.
Because BF1942 and BF2 were fantastic and then EA bastardized the shit out of the series for consoles when Bad Company was already filling that market.
>>315611709
>The scale
>3min walk for 50m or so
Are you retarded?
>>315611915
honestly a BF reskin would be ten times better than what we got right now
let's also not mention the game will cost $100+ on launch if you want to play all the maps
Because it seems that the majority of everyone here is a jaded cunt who views videogames through rose-tinted glasses, and sees that anything made post-1999 is terrible, that videogames keep getting worse, that the industry is dying, etc. Yet that just isn't the case. Sure, not everyone is a 10/10 revolutionary breakthrough for the medium, but then again, absolutely nothing can live up to the absurdly fucking high standards of /v/ as a collective. This is the fucking golden age of videogames. They're cheaper than they ever have been, they look better than they ever have, there's a game for everyone, regardless of their preference of genre, yet most here refuse to accept change and progress because they want to feel special. Everyone outside of /v/ likes something? Well then the majority of /v/ has to dislike it. Look at Call of Duty. /v/ hated it, then hating Call of Duty kind of went out of style. Most people started to see that it was getting stale, and moved on. So what happened? When the world outside of /v/ started to change how they felt to more closely resemble how /v/ felt about Call of Duty, /v/ reverted back to a more general acceptance toward Call of Duty.
>>315612048
Do you play PR? Also, SQUAD is basically an actual new Battlefield
>>315610795
I like FPS games
I just wish there were more games that looked good and weren't garbage
I want a game to have actually interesting gameplay, but also look nice and feel good
I really liked the recent Wolfensteins and Serious Sam 3
>>315612115
millennial pls go
>>315610795
I do like new FPS games.
Just not shitty rehashed scams like BF or CoD
I'm a little tired of them. I think it got very over saturated last gen with everyone trying to compete with the runaway success of Call Of Duty.
But I still love playing the Battlefield series and Destiny is pretty fun too, both mostly with friends
>>315612530
>rehashed scams like BF
I can't actually believe how EA got away with BF4, I mean even the fucking box looks the same.
>>315612594
>I can't actually believe how EA got away with BF4,
They didn't kinda. EA were sued because of BF4's shoddy release.
>>315612495
Ahh, the old, "You're a little kid," post. Good one bro
Too slow, too linear, too scripted and very few are particularly focused on single player
>>315612887
If you think the gaming industry has been anything other than dollops of shit served up on a plate for the last 5 years, you don't have any idea what things were like before.
Perhaps you only got into games when the PS3 and Xbox made them cool with your 'bros'.
>thread makes me want to play BF3 for 10 minutes
>will have to wait all day to play it
th-thanks
they are slow and 100% made for casuals and all of them are made with a console priority (automatically making them have maybe a 1% chance at not being watered down shite)
i cant remember the last fps i enjoyed. they're all shit
doom 4 even looks like a total abortion
hell i can't even go over to my buddies and couch co-op halo anymore. the fps genre is dead and has been since around the time cod 4 came out
>>315612115
Its really not. Sure vidya is more mainstream but there is hardly any variety or imagination. Games are products designed for the lowest common denominator. Sequels and reboots constantly. Parity across all platforms = equally as shit. Anti consumer practices, lies and corruption are the norm. A few gems each year in a sea of trash.
>>315610795
all those icons
>>315610795
this looks horrible compared to the PC version
>>315610795
I like Killing Floor 2. Shadow Warrior was fun and I'm looking forward to 2nd. Overwatch looks interesting. I hear that the new Wolfenstein games are good too, but I kinda dislike the world/artstyle/story. Not that many, but there are some good FPSes.
>>315610795
I like Bf3, bf4 was weird and shitty to me but I dony know why
>>315611278
have you tried getting a job so you can afford to -- in the span of 12 -- months buy a game?
>>315613641
>I like Killing Floor 2.
Does KF2 have an estimated release time frame yet? I'm hankering for some zombie killing and Boomsticks.
>>315611741
>can see inside
my dick
>>315613439
>doom 4 even looks like a total abortion
Yeah.. now I liked Doom 3 and I think it doesn't deserve the hate it gets, but 4 just looks like generic trash.
>>315613759
>get a job
>realize spending 2 days wages on a game is ridiculous
>>315610795
I do but DICE fucking with the SRAW again, just meh.
>>315613798
No idea, updates have been really slow. But what is there is quite good. If you don't expect a lot of content and are okay with the price, then it's worth picking up.
They're not my type.
>>315614275
I think I'll stick with Vermintideand Fallout 4in the meantime, but cheers.
Boring. Basically just a pointless TDM where it feels like you've achieved nothing, win or lose. Gameplay just isn't enjoyable and the overall experience just isn't rewarding.
Red Orchestra 2 feels stiffer, maybe worse, but it's much more enjoyable and rewarding. Base game anyway, didn't like Rising Sun or whatever it was.
>>315612118
This, played the squad alpha and it's what bf4 should have been.
>>315610795
I like them, not all, but still it's my 2nd fav vidya genre.
I don't like games with any kind of sword though.
>>315613345metro
>>315614557
Once you know how to cheese it for unlocks it's not so bad.
bc the best fps ever made Quake is here so we do not really need other reasons to play other lesser garbage
playing this dumb mod over LAN at work has produced some of the finest gaming moments I've ever had
to think EA etc. spends millions of dollars to produce a game that is technically trash
>>315610795
I do, but the gunplay mechanics aren't attractive enough to keep me going for the multiplayer
For example the first killing floor has absolutely addicting gunplay
I do. I've been playing a ton of Dirty Bomb lately and it's great.
I still go back and play BF4 from time to time. That game has improved drastically from launch and is lots of fun. BF3 &Hardline are vastly inferior, and neither of them hold a candle to BFBC2.
KF2 is fun but I'm waiting for the Gunslinger class.
I've played a lot of them in the past so they're not as exciting anymore.
I very rarely buy a game anywhere near release day. By the time I'd get around to one, the playerbase has moved on.
I don't enjoy team-based competitive multiplayer all that much compared to 1v1 or cooperation.
>>315611278
Are you Australian ?
>>315615049
Hardline is a mistake
They tried to make something new and fresh but also tie it to the Battlefield series and it just ended up ruining anything that could have worked
Hotwire is the only good mode in it.
>>315615178
Hardline is flat out irritating to play. It has a lot of good ideas but implements them so clumsily I'm not even going to bother giving it another chance. At least the criminal cars had good music.
>>315613759
Think about how many good games $120 can buy you in one of the many regular sales. It's ridiculous for 1 game. Keep eating shit
>tfw playing lots of casual games alongside my usual fare
>was playing Halo 5 earlier
>awaiting tomorrow to get my paycheck so I can buy Blops 3
>very excited for Tuesday so I can play FO4
Gotta say, it's a bit liberating. I mean, I can obviously still pick out the flaws in these games, but I can also separate my opinions from contrarian autism and /v/'s opinions.
>>315614681
Fuck off with this meme, Quake is mediocre in almost every way
>>315615094
Same shit in New Zealand as well.
I just buy games from Brazilian key sites now for at least 80 percent lower than the retail price here, fuck them.
>>315612783
Not going to lie, this looks really good.
A lot of them just feel really slow. I did like the new Wolfenstein though. The only other "recent" FPS I really liked was Borderlands
>>315615094
No, games cost a lot in the US if you actually want to buy the entire game
Battlefield is just boring. I guess huge maps are "immersive" but they're not conducive to fast play. I don't care for the vehicles either.
On the other hand I think CS requires more skill so I don't get my fix from BF.
BF is the worst of both worlds to me. Just to me though.
>>315614014
>realize spending 2 days wages on a game is ridiculous
I know that feel.
I always ask myself "is this $10 item worth the hour I spent working for it?" The answer is almost always no so instead I just save it.
>>315616589
Yeah if you don't like vehicles BF is not for you. And if you're playing solo, unless you're a god there's almost no hope of turning around a bad situation. Efficient squad work is needed not just for combat but for just getting around too. One squad that communicates and supports each other will steamroll an entire server if there's not something similar on the other team. It's way more unlikely to coordinate that many people than in something like CS.
>>315615178
>They tried to make something new and fresh
Nah they wanted the Payday audience and threw some shit together
>>315610795
But i am playing bf4
Depends on the game to be honest. I can't get into stuff like Battlefield, but there are other games that are fast and fun.
they aren't fun
>>315617239
Nader is so fucking satisfying to play.
One big part of the problem is that FPS has not evolved for such a long time. Since they became popular on consoles they actually went backwards and have stagnated ever since.
You can blame this on online multiplayer becoming popular I suppose. I mean how can we go from Natural Selection many years ago to the crap we have today?
>>315617426
Depends, sometimes I find her frustrating as she's not quite strong enough to be in the thick of it, but she needs to be to be effective.
>>315613759
>wasting hard earned money on garbage
>>315614323
Is there any modern engine for blood yet?
>>315610795
I can barely compete anymore. between having the time to learn maps and enduring the humiliation while you're getting killed from angles you never knew were there, having no one to talk to about the game and get hype and share your kickass frag-stories, and losing my reflexes- the children will win most of the time and it's not that much fun.
>>315617510
Yeah she's not terribly strong but hitting a hail mary grenade on a squishy merc just feels so good.
Slow.
Health regeneration.
Limited weapons you're able to carry.
Limited weapons to choose from.
Aim assist out the ass.
Generic and boring.
Has no lasting appeal.
Rehashy.
FPS is my favorite genre, and it pains me to see what happened to it.

Not him but step it up
because they're fucking terrible
>>315617852
join RO2. sure it's slow but it's slow because if you stand up you die, much like real frontline combat. the intensity lies less in flashing from one amazing acrobatic frag to the next and more in persevering through shell shock and barely dodging out of machinegun fire. it's pretty cool
>>315617852
BASED ECCHI SNIPER
This is seriously the best post I've ever seen you make. Usually your posts are lazy and low quality but this one is top notch. I hope so badly that modern FPS games abandon those arbitrary two-gun limits.
>>315617969
Its what most normies do though
>>315614819
UrT is so fun.
>>315615818
You didn't even play through it.
>>315617865
If you're a fucking degenerate maybe.
>>315610795
Starwars, doom and overwatch are the only fps ive been somewhat interested in since world at war just because they appear at least somewhat distinct in regards to aesthetic and mechanics compared to whats been on offer the past 7 odd years.
>>315618026
Normies normally think that whatever is priced at $10 is cheap, even if it's literal shit.
>>315617983
That reminds me of the campaign in the original operation flashpoint (never got to play multiplayer)
Basically crawling for 500 meters because if you stand up that shilka/tank will fuck you up. Oh and don't forget running from hinds
>>315618026
Probably, but just because your dumb ass friends spend 10$ on the newest disgusting multi layered concoction starbucks shat out doesn't mean you can't enjoy real coffee which isn't expensive.
Snack healthy.
Cigs suck anyway, like, they're terrible, even with alcohol they suck
>>315617852
Most of those things are in halo, are you saying halo is a bad game?
>>315618527
Are you serious.
>>315618527
Opening a can of worms here but Halo:CE was great in it's time, I believe Call of Duty 4:MW to be the turning point for the genre.
To be fair, it looks like we've finally crawled out of the CoD "realistic modern shooter" hole.
>>315618527
Yes.
>>315618674
I only played Halo:CE with a top xboner friend once and it was pretty fun.
Kicked the living shit out of him too because he wasn't used to KB+M and even after plugging in a controller it was a complete joke
>>315618714
Wherever COD goes others follow, so now we have half a decade of futuristic shootan and augmentations
>>315610795
I actually think BF4 is alright, and I've been playing the series since 1942 (the year, not the game, obviously. Not much to do in Bastogne except have LAN parties). A lot of the hate for it I don't really understand, it might come from people who haven't played it since the broken release.
A lot of other FPSes, at least the popular ones, I just don't get what's supposed to be good about them. CoD really doesn't hold my attention at all.
>>315618856
>half a decade of futuristic shootan and augmentations
Surely there are worse things.
>>315619679
>>315619805
How many of those fail? I'd imagine those took a gorillion attempts.
it's unresponsive and floaty plus everyone always tries to cheese everyone and it's not fun anymore
BC2 was the last time I had fun with FPS
>>315619858
It's like everything in FPSs, it takes practice. Once you got the hold of it it's not that hard to pull it off.
>>315619858
With BF4's netcode, it's a bit of a gamble. I'd say one of ever 1/5 actually hit.
>>315610795
The last FPS i liked was easily Blood Dragon, most new fps's all look the same and have that same "realism" angle that was nice when it was new but gets old fast as fuck when it's not reiterated, ever.
BD may have been a bit meme-y, but at least the movement was fun and it was clear some actual passion went into it.
>>315620138
>netcode meme
They fixed it. It took them long enought but they fixed it. BF4 is currently one of the best if not the best modern shooter on the market right now, way better than this travesty that is Hardline anyway.
>CTRL F

I'm not mad just disappointed.

>>315610795
Devs today are lazy. The battlefield games are capable of 200 player servers yet because modding is not allowed for BF3/4 you can't do anything with it, not to mention godawful tick rates due to EA.

>Spending $120 on a single game when you can get 5 or so brand new from Amazon with free shipping since games at $20 are piss easy to get, specifically brand new games from the past year or two.
Yeah, I have to play them when discussion of them is at an all time low, but I don't give a shit since I get to enjoy the games anyway.
>>315617972
I'll take that over any weeb game
>it is 2015 and noone has made a better SWAT game than the old SWAT games
soo... is BF4 still alive? my brother has the password for it, hasnt played it for 2 years, should i ask him for it?
>>315621623
It's pretty active, I just reinstalled it myself. DICE keeps updating it with new shit still, they just released a new map and a few new weapons for free.To be honest, BF4 is the first decent Battlefield game after 2142 and probably the only one that even gets close to the feeling of BF2And yes, I think the Bad Company games were dogshit
Call me when they quit fucking around and add mods tools.

Yep, it's fixed guys!
They haven't grown in proportion to what hardware allows, and high-skill shooters don't make it on console because of current controllers.
I want twin flight stick shooters and twin mouse shooters to be popular too, partly so left-handed stuff can be made.
>>315613759
>implying having a job changes anything
Nigger $120 on a single game is retarded as fuck. I could buy 4 or more good games for $120.
They're all so fucking boring. I can't remember the last time I had fun with a FPS game that wasn't 10 years old
i don't like this shit in bf
>>315623434

I do. In fact I'm waiting for new Black Ops to come out before it seems enjoyable and I'm in the mood for something casual.
>>315611045
same here, for some reason bad company 2 felt more like the previous games.
>>315617972
This is so unfun.
I tried to like KZ Mercenaries but it's just no good.
>>315624404
The problem is the playerbase. Everyone just runs and guns in a "strategy" game. I know its not exactly an RTS and the maps prohibit many tactical approaches (4 control points which all do the same and are spread symmetrically on the map), but with some planning and teamplay you always have the upper hand. Seriously, if you get 32 people to play together in BF3 it would be the most awesome thing ever. All the teamplay tools are really useful, and add so much depth to the game. But it often just boils down to two teams running around aimlessly while trying to shoot someone.
>>315613759
you mindless pathetic consumer whore, only providence and pitty keeps people like you from being poor and starving
>>315623434
Hardcore servers don't have those.
>>315624840
Yeah, but Hardcore has other problems. I for one don't like it if I die with 3 shots. Especially when many guns shoot so fast you die in under a second. Of course some people like that, but beyond my preference it just leads to camping for many players and that means noone plays the objective. Also many hardcore servers ditch the mini map. I know they do it because you show up on the map if you shoot (which is retarded, you shouldn't be punished for shooting), but it makes it impossible to plan. Can't see where your teammates are, can't see where enemy tanks or air is, it just sucks.
>>315610795
I would if it wasn't CoD with vehicles.
