How do you scratch the single player FPS itch?
With single player FPS games.
>>332160076
Came here to post this. Good work. We're done here. Shut the thread down. Everyone go to sleep.
>>332159905
Usually with modded fallout NV (and now 4 maybe) because there just aren't that many games with gun porn anymore
>>332159905
Red orchestra 2
Remember that I'm not 14 anymore.
>>332159905
Gayday 2 and Shillzone 2

>>332160826
>Fallout

it's got some of the worst gunplay of all time, it doesn't feel good to shoot anything
Go play Wolfenstein: The New Order
After that go play The Old Blood

Got an FPS itch today.
Scratched it by shooting a .22 and .223 bolt action rifle all day.
>>332159905

What wizardry was crytek doing?
Its a 9 year old game and looks 10x better than anything today
I never get that itch.
>>332161213
>It was also fununtil the ayy lmao bits
>>332161057
Thats why i use Hitmans animation overhaul it actualy makes shooting shit fun
Doom, Quake and STALKER are all I've been playing for the past 5 or so years. Keeping my fingers crossed for plenty of new quality custom maps when Quake turns 20 later this year.
>>332161307
but theayy lmao was the best part, it needed to keep it sandbox though but the original far cry did the same thing
Warhead SP was great.
Modern Crytek are in the shitter not even making games anymore after ryse flopped?
>>332161389
Warhead was amazing.
>>332161389
They're making the new Homefront.
>>332161472
Oh snap i loved the start of the 1st one but the shooting mechanics where meh seemed like a awesome setting
>>332161463
remember when sandbox meant sandbox and not walled gardens?
Mods and online where the best before Crysis 2 and 3 ruined everything
>>332159905
>mfw nobody makes single player FPS anymore
>>332161213
seriously. maybe metro 2033 was technically more graphically intensive or whatever but god damn, when I think best looking game of all time to this fucking day I still think of crysis
>>332161563
thank god
>>332159905
>it took almost 10 years for Crysis to start looking dated
Far cry and far cry2 were pretty good for their time
I have more of an RTS itch. After Halo lost it's appeal, it's all I have left.
>>332161563
Far cry?
>>332161597
Crysis was the only game to get Jungle lighting and foliage right
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HP1GWJYeLI
Sorry about the crap source cant find the originals
Pretty sure that footage is over 10 years old too
>>332159905
Far cry 3 with difficulty mods is pretty darn fun. Once you get some mods in, the boring as fuck traditional ubisoft shit becomes a lot more exciting, I still haven't beaten my most recent fc3 save. I put a few hours in every couple of weeks whenever I wanna scratch the itch, and doing a mission or some side objectives fits the bill since there's a decent amount of enemy and weapon variety.
>>332161769
Far Cry 1 and 2 were great. 3 and 4 not so much.
Was homefront that thing with best korea invading burgerland and stupid sound issues at launch?
>>332160989
Are you sure? You are still here after all.
>>332162051
Yeah, it's getting a sequel to in case you didn't know.
>>332159905
COD Modern Warfare 1-3 campaigns
>>332162151
I don't know why it would. The game wasn't that great and the most memorable thing about it was the technical issues at launch.
>>332162218
To its credit it did have an interesting setting. While it's characters were completely forgettable their fuckups were funny. Like when the motherfucker bombed his own troops cuz he didn't know how to use a fucking mortar.
>>332161213
In the simplest terms, Crysis thrived on cheap but good looking assets and effects and next to no asset variety that didn't eat much VRAM. Newer games are only just getting comparable visually, but have used larger quantities of unique assets for a much longer time, and that's where all the extra memory is going. The average scene in Crysis is also fairly light on poly use, everything that adds detail to the scene is a billboarded alpha texture with few shaders, and the same thing is being done to the same effect in Kingdom Come: Deliverance.
Also, the actual visual fidelity is majorly overrated. Here's my unmodded, max settings Crysis on a 2009 card. Unmodded Crysis can't anti-alias anything with an alpha texture, so on release it was gross fucking hard edged foliage everywhere: the game.
>>332161563
because theyre boring as fuck
>>332159905
play BO3 for a bit on my PS4 then realize why I dont play FPS and pref fun games.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is pretty good I love the Burger Town and Washington D.C. missions.
>>332159905
Does crysis have any spooky bits? I never got around to playing it, and I'm hypersensitive to that kind of stuff in video games.
Not even sure why video games creep me out. Real life stuff and movies don't.
>>332162627
No, just koreans and some shitty alien robots.
>>332162627
At some point when the aliens wake up and everything freezes I guess.
>>332160076
This. Picking up underlooked games i missed, like Prey and Sin
>>332162627
Your teammates get murderized by ayys for the first few hours of the game and that's about it.
>>332162627
No, anon...You are the spooky bit.
>>332160602
SHUT IT DOWN
Halo Combat Evolved

Don't play Wars, 4, 5, or either of the Anniversaries, they're all shit.

i dont get the 2>3 comparison people like to make so much
in 2 the enemies were massive bullet sponges and there were a frustrating amount of fodder to kill in order to progress an uninspired story, finding diamonds was cool i guess
the world was far more interesting in 3, the tomb raider/uncharted parts were especially memorable and killing people felt more rewarding
>>332163342

You mean Dying Light, seeing as how it's basically Dead Island but good.
>>332163403
there is a great little patch for fc2. mainly fixes bullet sponges, checkpoint respawn, weapon degradation and lot more.
i tried fc 3 and 4, but its justEEEAAAGGGLLEEEE
>>332162952
>the anniversaries are shit
>ce's campaign is good
>4's campaign is bad
I want nostalgiafags to leave. Both the anniversaries are great. Ce's visuals may not be 1:1 faithful, but ce's visuallyss canonically are out of date anyways, and the remake visuals match the intent more as shown in concept art for ce. 2's remake is 100% faithful visually.
4's story may be ass but the campaign missions themselves are fine.
>>332163070
ce's campaign is ridiculously overrated and has aged horribily. Give 2 a shot.
>>332163558
>>332163672
i cant get into it for some reason.
and tried a lot because i was really happy when i heard polished deadisland is coming out
You go back to the 90s. That's the era of the single player FPS.
>>332159905
By playing Painkiller.
UNDERHELL
By playing the same old HL2 mod ive been playing past 8 years.
>>332161743
Play halo wars then?
>>332159905
>How do you scratch the single player FPS itch?
you can't
>>332159905
Reinstall F.E.A.R. 1 and Republic Commando
>>332160989
With an answer like that, I'm doubtful....
>>332159905
[Re]play all of the Battlefield Bad Company campaigns! They're a lot of fun. I might even recommend Battlefield 3.
>>332162406
Huh, I haven't really modded mine and I even set everything to VERY HIGH in the menu before loading the save just to make sure nothing gets locked because some entities are on lock as the some changes can't be made once a save file is running.
not at all...
they are all so dull lately
hopes up for deus ex md and warhammer 40:deathwing
bonus:maybe cp2077
>>332165165
I might even recommend Battlefield 3.
pls no
That Airplane level kills it so hard. The campaign is fun at times, but is so often killed by mundane shit like the airplane mission
>>332165187
I let the sun go up slightly so it's brighter.
>>332165165
A shame about Bad Company 1 though, its fucking stellar but noone will be able to play it, and people will immediately denounce it because its on console. The little story and characters they had going was butchered in the second one, and noone will ever know.
>>332165370
Blame EA for using money to hold the game hostage on a console.
>>332165187
>>332162406
>every single time someone shows Crysis its an area from the first 20 minutes of the game
Does literally noone play past this point? Everyone posts screens of things in that particular area and literally nowhere else.
>>332165187
Are you running hardware AA?
The game's looked like my screenshot every time I've played it, unless I mod it and force some driver effects. I'd get some more screens right now just to illustrate but it doesn't run on my system just because the uncracked game chucks a fit any time you try to run it from a drive that isn't C:
>>332160076
Don't ever post again in this thread unless you're going to contribute you fucking retard
>>332165548
Because even the promotional imagery from beyond that point doesn't look very good :^)
>>332165548
Because I often fire the game up from the start and that area shows a lot of stuff.
>>332165576
Ingame AA at 8x
Though you gave me an idea to try Nvidia inspector on that game and see how well that behaves with forced AA.
What 2009 card are we talking about btw?
I played this on my 8800GTX SLI back in the days on 2048*1536 and it was struggling at around 30-40FPS back then.
Oh, as I typed this, I realized I think I still have that Realism Mod somewhere although dated as heck. Gonna see if that makes a difference as well.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6v5KbZgQ0gY
>>332165710
WarHead suffers from "modders contrast decease though so blacks(the color) are raped".
>>332162406
>>332165576
On release you could still use the r_UseEdgeAA=2 command to get the sharp edges off of the foliage. It's just some kind of blur, and it has no performance impact, but in my mind it looks much better than without it. It's what I used back when the game came out. It was wonderful since I'd have the same fps as before and could actually get some kind of AA on the foliage with my shitty pc.
>>332165762
I think I was on a 9800gtx at the time.
>>332165308
>"soldier! do you know this pilot's operations"
>"n-no sir, whos that?"
literally a useless mission
>>332159905
By reminding myself that there was no way to save him.
>>332165762
AA on Crysis doesn't work on foliage, it's useless
>>332159905
Serious Sam
You can co-op it as a bonus, if it's PvE you're looking for specifically
>>332165909
Oh, silly thing is, that the XFX 8800GTX 630M is faster than the 9800GTX.
Nvidia had to release the 9800GTX+ to solve that.
Also, I realized a big mistake.
I had Nvidia forcing 8xAA while not having 16x AF. That's why the image is so blurry in the distance.
>>332166038
Aren't there mods that add AA?
And I'm pretty sure that a lot of GPUs have integrated postprocessing functions that you can turn on game-by-game
I just beat Shogo and about to play it again with the few mods that are available. Replay some old games with cool mods.
I hope to get the stalker series one day and enjoy that as well.
F.E.A.R. is my go to.
A game made 10 years ago that's still miles ahead anything an FPS has done in years.
>>332165981
He is canonically alive and well actually.
webm sort of related, not Sev, but another Commando who survived against all odds.

STALKER.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0Z6CxmiCwY
>>332166067
It was probably the gtx+, I can't remember exactly what card it was, just that it maxed the game at 1920x1080 at whatever framerate I thought was acceptable at the time.
>>332166038
>>332166093
see >>332165824
you may or may not like the effect, but it does remove the jaggies.
>>332166301

Funny thing is that I played my first play through with audio glitches on some talking cutscenes. So a lot of things got cut off cause my PC was running the game too fast. The solution is to set the FPS to 60 so it plays the cutscenes correctly. My second playthrough will be the play through where I actually figure out the story lmao.
I still don't know what the car-whatever is besides the fact it's a creature/being cause of cut out audio.

Ignore this.
Just download Call of Chernobyl and install the Arsenal Overhaul addon.
Actual RPG without being tied to story, and it has all the maps from the entire franchise into one game, plus you can choose factions at the begining.

Don't forget the lack of anything worthwhile to do, that's the mod's biggest feature

You dig deeper.
>>332166450
Play SoC vanilla + ZRP bugfix + maybe Absolute texture shit. Make sure to use Master difficulty because any other difficulty level just fucks the game up. There are nice mods like Autumn Aurora and fucking OGSE but they tend to make the game unstable and do stupid things to balance. Fucking OGSE in particular is a bit silly because of lore-breaking shit like auto turrets. It's really only worth anything because it adds a lot of neat shit in addition to the bullshit, unlike MISERY where it just adds a lot of you dying and game crashing. You might be into that kind of shit though.

I just buy a CoD game and play the campaign. I don't give two shits about the multiplayer, but the cheesy, overly serious campaigns are fun enough for like $20.
>>332161725
It has looked dated for the past 5 and that's the saddest part, since it still looks better or at least on par with most AAA games released today.
>>332169960

>>332161125

The series started going downhill big time with Halo 3. ODST was a good idea, but it never made me want to return. Reach was a fucking modern warfare shootbang. 4 was abysmal. Gave up after that forever.
The expanded universe shit getting shoehorned just made it even more of a mess. I like Halo CE for the spooky sci fi mystery ringworld parasite stuff when nothing was explained and Halo 2 for the genuinely great gameplay. Outskirts is one of my favourite levels just because of the ease of getting out of the map and fucking around on rooftops with the sniper rifle.
