The Best Single Player FPS Games of the Last 10-ish Years (post Crysis)

[Deleted member 158293]

Well I love Doom 3 though it’s not a popular opinion.

Well... looks like DOOM just needed a little encouragement to get people out into the open. I never mind standing out of the crowd, eventually the crowd catches up, ...or not

A full campaign coop would have made '16 decent. I'd probably manage to sit through it if that was done.

I would say BioShock Infinite and Doom, Metro is a good game, but its voice acting needs work.

Now I'm interested in Metro, I blame all of you.
I hope the old 270x can run them.

Out of the listed ones it's Wolfenstein, Doom & Titanfall 2 for me. Deus Ex: HR is amazing but it's not a shooter and the same kind of applies to Metro - it's far closer to a first-person survival horror than a proper FPS game. Bioshock Infinite could have been a masterpiece if they made an adventure game with that story, but flat out sucks as a shooter...

I voted for DOOM, since the shooting just felt better than the other half of the list of games I played, BioShock Infinite would be my 2nd, Wolfenstein: New Order my 3rd and Metro LL to be my 4th.

There's just something simple and primal about the new reboot, its so good I picked out and played the mods that convert original Doom I and II with its weapons. The music is the icing on the cake, it is very rare for me to like the entirety of an OST, but every time I heard it, I get so much motivation, it wakes up the Doomslayer in me.

I have enjoyed Borderlands 2 through and through, I even forced my friend to play it in Co-op, but he couldn't burden a second playthrough, due to having not much content after beating all of the DLC's. I think he much enjoyed Dying Light over BD2 because of the game mechanics, I mean dude, which game has parkour and grappling hooks?

Far Cry 3 was one of the first games that I played post-Crysis, and I found it to be enjoyable due to having RPG elements in it, and of course the story was something I haven't seen ever in my life at that point and for me it was so over the top, I just wanted to be in that setting myself.

I would nominate the S.T.A.L.K.E.R series to have some of the worst shooting mechanics ever. In the vanilla state, the bullets half of the time don't go where you shoot, you really have to get the guns in good condition to take full advantage of them. With mods though, it is THE most immersive experience I have had. I played Call of Chernobyl mod in 10 hour sittings. Only something modded Skyrim or Fallout could achieve to keep me that engaged.

I found Stalker gunplay... fairly reasonable, given the setting. Who actually has properly working, true shooting weapons in an apocalyptic wasteland filled with anomalies that can kill you a lot? It's not until you get actual decent weapons, like, the TRS-301 at least (hopefully you found a scope somewhere), where guns actually become accurate.

Gameplay wise, it sucks that there were no technicians in SoC, but I found it more realistic than finding the Zone littered with expert gunsmiths who can turn an ordinary broken AK into a sniper rifle. I think it would be far more likely to find people cleaning shitty weapons with like, a vodka soaked rag tied to a stick or something. Or maybe even ordinary water. Can't waste the vodka!

3rd person. Same reason I can't really nominate Spec Ops the Line, though I would love to.

I really liked Hard Reset Extended Edition but it isn't for everyone. https://store.steampowered.com/app/98400/Hard_Reset_Extended_Edition/

Shit, I forgot that SpecOps:TheLine was third person, I mentioned it earlier in this thread, thinking it was fps.

2004 was a good year for games. We got Riddick and KOTOR 2

 

[phanbuey]

the far cry games at high FPS are a completely different experience since 3.... 3/Blood Dragon/4/5 - of all the shooting games the guns in far cry are my favorites. Completely over the top and very cool... Blood Dragon is what Duke Nukem should have been lol.

 

[dirtyferret]

Looks like the big winners are Doom, Metro, and Bioshock

I posted a new poll for RPGs

[potato580+]

duke nukem forever, no?

duke nukem forever, no?

okey then my vote goes to bioshock

 

[Drone]

duke nukem forever, no?

I like DNF. I had a couple of bugs so had to restart a level but other than that I have no problems with it.
Duke Nukem Forever and Syndicate (2012) were bashed a lot but I like them, had a lot of fun.

As for the list, I played none of those games nor have any desire to do so lol.

 

[Hyderz]

out of this list its Bioshock infinite for me.

Bit late and tiny touch of necro but if that is the case you need to look at the Misery Mod for Stalker CoP. You want to get by on scraps and leftovers, this is your game I'll say this... I didn't last. Going is slow, hard, but oh so rewarding. Even just finding a box of ammo can become a moment of euphoria

Stalker Ray of Hope gonna be online co-op stalker game. Sounds and looks pretty interesting. Release date not announced yet.

 

[Keullo-e]

Far Cry 3 without a doubt! Doom takes the second place
