From now on I won't buy you a game that you don't request. But I thought you liked Jedi Survivor?

This isn't going to be anything like Jedi Survivor

No. I’m telling him. I don’t like Ubi games and I don’t enjoy Star Wars games except the online Battlefront games. If he buys it this will turn out to be Dragon’s Dogma 2 all over again. 

When was the last time you played an Ubi game?

I'm betting @best3444 ends up buying it for you.

Take 2 is a huge publisher, they previously claimed to have over 30 games (obviously some would be annual releases of sports games) to be released before the end of 2026 FY.  With, an additional 18 mobile games on top of that.

Tournament Play is somewhat different than casual play.

Organized Play -- everything from store championships all the way up to worlds is a way of getting people to play.  Having active communities in a LGS is a great way of bringing in new players.

I recognize that many of the people who are into MCP/Legion/Shatterpoint are in in more for the painting, than the actual playing.

That's not the case for X-Wing, and probably not for Armada.

I don't think AMG should be paying for tickets and hotels, but I do think they need to hold a "World Championship".

If they don't, I think the community will do one -- and it will likely be online.

That seems to have zero connection with the original game.

That’s more of a modern trend.  And some do, some still don’t.
 

But it totally checks out why when that choice is made.

Which FPS games do you think had big “boss” fights vs. Set pieces?

Depends on what you’re looking for.  Getting the “S” right is important for multiplayer, but FPS bosses are really hard to get right IMO.  You can have the best shooting mechanics around, but still have the big encounters boil down to a simple deathmatch sort of thing, a circle strafe war of attrition, or peekaboo firing explosive rounds from behind walls/cover.  It all feels so hollow compared to playing other human beings.

 

The Prime games largely avoided that by making bosses more about positioning than keeping your cursor on the target and/or running behind things.  I found that refreshing at the time, still do.

I don’t think bosses are a big part of the FPS genre. Which is why so many of them culminate with a set piece.

I know you were a PC gamer before Halo on console so it didn't hit as hard for you. 

 

I guess you guys are saying Robocop is one of the best FPS's ever which is contradictory to review scores. The lighting and reflections must be awe inspiring. 

Games in 2024 are objectively better than 20 years ago. I’m only including games I’ve played, and 1 per franchise. 
If Halo 3 came out today, exactly as it originally released, with only a single player campaign, it wouldn’t review well. 

The best FPS games strongest points are their multiplayer, which is ignored in this ranking.

Destiny’s story campaign was awesome 

Agreed.  If I were to consider it a single player campaign, I would rate it very highly.

Halo 1 on Xbox was revolutionary for console gaming. Wait, you put Robocop on your list because of the lighting? You sick bastard! 

I don’t differentiate between platforms. I agree the controls were revolutionary for a controller, but were still a step back from the standard set 8 years before with Doom (KB/Mouse). 
I still think Halo’s vehicle controls were garbage, and some parts (like jumping) felt terrible. As someone who played a LOT of PC FPSs in the 90s and I was extremely underwhelmed (if that’s a word) by Halo.

Halo has to be on the list. Robocop? lol

Just for the lighting and reflections. 
I’ve never understood the appeal of single player Halo. 

GTA VI cancellation confirmation. 

1) Doom

2) Half Life 2

3) Titanfall 2

4) Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus 

5) Far Cry 4

6) Crysis 3???

7) Killzone 2

8) Resistance 2

9) Robocop

Franchises I’ve intentionally left off: CoD, Battlefield, Halo

Franchises I’ve never played: Metro, Stalker

Franchises I don’t think should count: Bioshock

Anyone have his Venmo? I wanna send him a cool $20 just for sharing that idea with us.

I do.  Coincidentally, he uses the same nickname as me, AbsolutSurgen.

But I think Bioshock is a FPA too and shouldn't be on the list. 

I originally said that in my post, but deleted it because I thought I would get too much hate.

Why not? Clearly there's still a fanbase and Ubi is still supporting it. Game is what? 10 years old now? EDIT: It's 8 years old. 

Ubi is focused on big swings, and I don't think For Honor 2 is a big swing -- unless they massively revamp it enough that it's no longer For Honor 2.

If they thought it was an IP that would justify a sequel, they probably would have done one by now.

I’d be curious in a next gen For Honor 2 

Is this a troll list?

CoD4 has the best campaign in a world where Titanfall 2, Wolfenstein and Doom exist?

This is so true... they are STILL supporting For Honor which is shocking to me.  How old is that game now?

Still is apparently... people are still playing it.

Googled their concurrent player count.

So Sony’s resolution upscaling is targeting DLSS Performance mode. 

I don't think you can make that inference from that article.  I suspect it will have a variety of modes for different games, just like DLSS or FSR.
