I'm looking for...

[Mobius]

...Any good single player shoot 'em ups. After enjoying Farcry I realized I've missed out on the entire genre for nearly 3 years due to mmorpg's (evil!).
I've played Halo to death on X-box so thats out of the question (I heard the pc version sucked anyway)
Which FPS should I look out for? I liked Farcry, Red Faction, Serious Sam etc.

Thank you please.

Call of Duty single player is nice and pretty challenging on the harder settings.

Serious Sam - good fun
Red Faction - good fun
Call of Duty - above Par

Theres a few mate depends what your after in a FPS, me being a FPS shooter addict I play them all.. But it all rests on what your after.. wether its a Ghost Recon type of experience very involved, or a Serious Sam I & II just a great shoot em up...

Opinions differ too I still like and play Gore Universal Soldier and a few obscure others but some will tell you they are pants

As for new stuff if you want a great shoot em up go for Painkiller but if you want something a little more involved Far Cry or Call of Duty would seem a sensible route. Again mate just my opinion, others may have a different story

That aside I'm sure HL2 won't fail to please... but who knows eh

Must say that imho so far almost every FPS is very sub par to Far Cry. Chrome, RF, SS are all good fun but not even close to FC.

edit : Painkiller is just out, but its just like Serious Sam in many ways.Otherwise its relaxing Gothic FPS I personally am waiting for Manhunt

In my honest opinion, Operation Flashpoint is the only single player game worth more than a second glance.
You can buy it cheap now. Give it a go, its great

I havn't played Far Cry but from what I read and heard it is a mighty game.. (adds to wanted list)

I would watch STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl too with a close eye, this I feel is going to be a goodun, looks really cool so far with a great story. Besides there is more to life than HL2 & D3, although saying that these games should be above par being born from the coding houses they come from..

If you haven't tried Max Payne 1 & 2 try both of them.

 

[ECA]

Max Payne 1+2 are both far too short, although excellent blasts.

There have not been many "GOOD" fps games recently.
Certainly not many games that can challenge a good player.

 

[Mobius]

I've completed Red Faction 1 and 2, Serious Sam 1 and 2, and FarCry. I loved them all but its never the same second time round.
I never liked any of the Half Lifes..thought they were a bit overrated personally. Is Painkiller out in shops? I've played Max Payne, didn't really appeal to me that much, although my brother loved it.

Operation Flashpoint I loved, had a stage where I was so addicted to it. I gave up in the end due to the frustration of trying to steer the helicopter.
I'm not interested in multiplayer. I just want a great single player game like FarCry. I wish I didn't complete it so fast.

That Chernobyl game looks great. When is the release date?
I could buy Call of Duty, but I heard its really short? I prefer to buy games than download but I'd rather not bother if its only going to last a day.

Apparently 3rd Quarter 2004.. if I am right? Check the main site out, have a gander at the press section too

Call of Duty and Medal Of Honour are both well worth a shot

 

[Bullitt]

If you want a bit of strategy/sneakiness involved then Hidden And Dangerous 2 is damn good fun. I wub it.

 

[Wij]

Try speed-running on Quake

 

[fatbusinessman]

If you liked Serious Sam, I would definitely recommend Painkiller - think Serious Sam, then add in gorgeous graphics and just about the most impressively grisly use of a physics engine to date, and you've got it

 

[Mobius]

Is Painkiller out in ze ships?! I'll pop out now if so.

 

[Lazarus]

System Shock?

Enjyed that a while back - not sure how dated it would be know tho

End of this week, my pre-order has shipped today.

 

[Gef]

Deus Ex 1 is bloody good, quite old now tho, tried the second one on a demo but didnt get on with it.

Unreal 2 is quite fun, Splinter Cell is cool too..

I have that on the PS2, tbh its the only game I found a little disturbing. I dunno call me a hypocrite because gratuitous violence is gratuitous violence within a game end of the day, but MH leans towards the perverse almost, just a little too near the mark.

I don't know there was just something about Manhunt that was just well... nasty..

Maybe I'm getting too old

Painkiller though is good, violent yeah... but in the right way (if there is one )

 

[Ivan]

Heh i have to agree, the gore level in MH is insanely high. Still has my interest though

 

[Mobius]

Bollocks, went to the shops in a hurry without checking Painkillers release date. Dressed and cleaned for nothing.

I'll hold on until the end of the week for it.

An oldie but Return to Castle Wolfenstein

Yeah have to agree there RTCW is an A++ SP game..

..Poor old Mob... soon mate, you can kick my ass PK stylee

 

[Wij]

Wha ? RTCW SP sux :/ Quick-load hell.

Ditto MOH.

Might try CoD soon as I recently acquired a copy *whistle*

I'd recommend Serious Sam and jDoom. Serious carnage nirvana

Screenies ? Links ?

I'm not gonna get a hard on just cos it's got a certain name.

I bought Painkiller, great fun!
Think Serious Sam with great graphics, really fucked up enemies and a gothic feel.
