Current Events > I wish there was more singleplayer story/character-driven FPS games out there.

(+) Yeah! (+)

That aren't huge open-world games and stuff like that.

I've been trying to play Crysis 2 lately and it sucks so much dick cheese.

I remember playing a demo for one of those a long while ago. Can't remember if I liked it or not though.

Metro redux is awesome

Ion Fury on sale on ps store. Duke Nukem inspired indie game.

I played Shadow Warrior 2. It was fun for a bit, but the RPG elements sort of brings it down after a while.
I'm so glad Shadow Warrior 3 is stepping away from all of that.

Just to be sure you've played Deus Ex, right?

Never played the original, but a friend let me borrow HR back in high school. I played a decent chunk of it before giving it back. I remember liking it.
I tried MD last year and didn't even finish the first level. I don't know, it just didn't capture me. I got bored of it fast. And it froze up on me. Pretty much soldifies how I feel about it.

Agree. Glad SW 3 is more like SW1

Bro, you must.

Its gameplay is admittedly clunky as fuck, but it's so goddamn good.

---

Metro 2033, Metro Last Light, and Metro Exodus are very story driven FPS games.

---

It's built to be a squad-based shooter, but I've always really enjoyed Borderlands games on singleplayer.

I wish there was a JRPG Rogue-Like

• 4, random Heroes of Light
• Random World Layout
• 4 Bosses in 4 dungeons to get 4 crystals to unlock the Final Boss
• Misc shit happens along the way

Make it have like 5-8 Jobs/Classes, and then let them Upgrade from there after each Boss

I would if I didn't dislike mouse + keyboard so much. I am not a PC gamers.

My favorite way to play Borderlands games is to go solo but have it where people can jump into my game. It's fun as hell.
I'll be playing alone for a while then someone will suddenly join and help out for a bit then leave and I'm back at it alone again. And if I'm lucky enough, I'll have an entire squad for the time being. Borderlands 2 is so much fun.

That's basically a more instantly gratifying version of the Persona games. You go around a procedurally generated environment, you pick up new gear, you fight through randomly spawning enemies until you get to a boss and then you're clear to continue the story. I get that the tone you're looking for is more of a run-type game, but I agree with you in the sense that I would love a turn-based dungeon crawler.

More in line with what you're talking about, Brave Dungeon on the Switch is a short, very replayable dungeon crawler with turn-based battles and randomly generated floors. The only downside is how short it is. I agree with you, there need to be more procedurally generated JRPG-type experiences - like Diablo with turn-based combat.

You could try the Mystery Dungeon games and see if that tickles your fancy. I've been meaning to try one out.

BioShock is one of my all time favorites. I enjoyed Infinite too. Never played 2 and I don't see myself doing that anytime soon.

System Shock 2 always did interest me, but again, I'm not much of a PC gamers, so there isn't too many options for me to actually enjoy it. I was really looking forward to that System Shock remake but I'm convinced that's never coming out. In fact, I forgot about it up until this very moment.

Something more akin to the newer Wolfenstein games. A 10 or so hours game that's a nice mix between having a fun, engaging story with a focus on characters and super solid gunplay. Damn, I love those games

Shadow Warrior is way different than 2 as well. Shadow Warrior is straight forward and doesn't have loot or RPG elements, if you mean literal elements lol. SW2 had fun gameplay but I never will settled in with why I cared to progress. I know there's a place for it and I thought Id find that place in my life myself. Just never did. Probably also isn't fair that I got Shadow Warrior the same day I got my ps4. And the other games I got were Watch Dogs and Killzone. So it wasn't much competition for which one really grabbed me first. Hint, I barely touched the other 2 after giving them a decent effort.

It didn't help that all my friends that I was playing SW2 with got bored and stopped playing.
Also, the Killzone series is officially trash imo. I finally got around to playing KZ3 about a year or so ago, hoping it would be the one to save the series in my eyes because all the other ones sucked. Played it. Finished it. It sucked too. I will never understand why this series was put on such a pedestal around the PS3 era.

I loved the first one. The rest could not exist and I wouldn't lose anything. But the 2nd wasn't bad either.

I feel like the only person that didn't like that game. I remember Bodycount was something of a spiritual successor from a lot of the people that made Black.
That game got destroyed by reviews and I just remembered thinking, "I don't know why anyone is surprised. It's from the same people who made Black."

I beat this earlier this year for the first time since that generation. I had no intention on doing more than just seeing if it held up through Gamepass for free at my cousins. Beat it in 2 sit downs over there. It's a very basic FPS with high quality that should of faded with time, but fot some reason I wanted to keep pushing forward. I dunno if the level design is just that good or what. Maybe the guns just feel that good to use. I have no idea why it pulled me in in 2021, but it did. I also remember it all, and my brain fuckin sucks at memory.

Geist for GameCube is great and the multiplayer (local) is legitimately some of the most fun I've had with a shooter.

Exactly. I couldnt tell you a damn thing about the plot, but the level design just kept you going, and every gun had a weight to it that I hadnt seen in a game before.

Yeah. By remember all of it, I wasn't including the story >_<. I actually talked over it thos time around. I fuckin hate that gimmick of delivering the story as low budget as possible. Just one room with exposition in-between missions. But hell, if that was to put more of the budget into the rest, it was the right move.

Half-Life 1 doesn't really have a lot of story. If that's all you care about then I suggest reading the wiki on it and skipping straight to Half-Life 2.

I'm not a fan of the whole silent protag schtick, but there's something about the look and design of Black Mesa, and having to explore it, that makes it very appealing to me.

I mentioned earlier that BioShock is one of my all time favorites, and from what I can tell, it's basically a mix between System Shock 2 and Half-Life. I totally wouldn't mind playing Half-Life 1.
