skillzdadirecta Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 From What Culture Gaming Full List For The Lazy 10. Titanfall 2 9. Wolfenstein The New Order 8. Metro Last Light 7. Borderlands 2 6. Far Cry 3 5. Doom 2016 4. Bioshock 3. Half Life 2 2. Halo 3 1. COD4 Modern Warfare I've played and beaten most of these but not all. May need to check out Borderlands 2 at some point. I remember being turned off by the first game... in fact I think it was one of few games I returned so i didn't even bother with the second. Also I'm not sure if I would put COD4 at number one although I think it deserves a place on the list. Lastly if I was going to put a Halo game on here, i would put Reach over Halo 3 although I get why they wanted to put one that had Master Chief in it. Surprised none of the Stalker games made it though. Not a bad list over all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbsolutSurgen Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Is this a troll list? CoD4 has the best campaign in a world where Titanfall 2, Wolfenstein and Doom exist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispy4000 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Call me crazy, but the Metroid Prime games are better than most of these. But “First Person Adventure” lock on aiming and all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never even played the campaign in COD4. However it offered the greatest FPS multiplayer ever. Still hasn't been topped and probably never we will be. But yea, it probably shouldn't be number one for a campaign with the other games listed. But again I never played it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paperclyp Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I can imagine why someone might pick COD4's campaign, but other than the presentation / freshness of it at the time, most of the other games on this list shit all over it in terms of just playing an FPS single player game.

XxEvil AshxX Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 No Singularity CoD4 was a great experience at the time, but after you play it through once and the new car smell wears off, you realize it's pretty much just a series of scripted events in which you are merely participating.

The problem is that neither of them are particularly stellar at the "S" part of FPS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So did Dishonered and Prey and a bunch of other games that don't quite fit this criteria. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
best3444 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 God Prey was so fuckin good. But I guess it fits the mold of FPA. But I think Bioshock is a FPA too and shouldn't be on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BioShock straddles the line, but I think it does fall more on the FPS side because its actual shooting mechanics are given near-equal weight to the plasmid-based powers whereas in games like Deus Ex, Dishonored, and Prey, the gunplay is clearly an afterthought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Lolololol at any Top 10 list containing Borderlands. I found Exodus to be a much better game than Last Light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I feel like Titanfall 2 is too low. Personally, I'd put Crysis on there. As always with these lists, there's also the problem of generally important vs favorite vs some attempt to define "best." Halo:CE was so good at the time, even with repetitive levels. The other Halo games might have had better campaigns, but Halo:CE stands out the most in my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Also a reminder that the makers of the great Wolfenstein reboots, MachineGames, is who is working on the Indiana Jones game coming later this year. They are also the team that came from ex-starbreeze aka The Darkness/Ridick which holds well for their first person melee pedigree with the whip and stuff. Game is gonna rule. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
