Anyone played any good ones lately? I was just digging through the game pile for a break from studying when I pulled out Shogo: Mobile Armour Division (Mechs, but agile ones, combined with on-foot combat - anime-inspired). With forced-FSAA, I must say, it looked kinda cool. I played it at 640*480, of course, so my P3-500 wouldn't cark it.

I was rather impressed, even if just for the visual quality. For such an old game (uhhh, 2-3 years, IIRC), I liked it, and it was an FPS (I'm not much of a run-around-and-shoot-people person; I'm more of a fly-around-and-shoot-people person...), so it surprised me. So, anyone else got cool-looking screenies or glowing reviews of FPSs? Me is interested.

I don't know if everyone's played it or not, but I quite liked Oni, though I've only played the demo as yet. Nice change on the standard run around and shoot people (It became run around and hit people when your only weapon ran out, but for once the hitting motion actually did something!!!)

No screenshots but only the greatest amount of praise for Deus ex and halflife (I know, I know, old news).

Half-life... Just wow

Oni... Oni! I quite liked the idea of that game. I should pick it up for PC some time. Is it in the bargain basket yet?

PS. is it a 3rd-person perspective? That's what I seem to remember...

Martinus · **Reply #4 on:** March 24, 2002, 01:04:44 am

Yeah it's 3rd person. I only played it for about 15 mins but I remember the controls being a little unfriendly and movement tricky.

Half-Life? Pass. Deus Ex now... That's a work of art. Warren Spectre knows how to make a game. Also, System Shock 2, Thief and Thief 2 (all of which, along with Deus Ex, borrow heavily from each other). Thief and System Shock innovate on the FPS genre in different areas, and Deus Ex takes the best of both of them and combines them for, overall, an incredibly enjoyable experience.

I'm glad I'm not the only person who liked Shogo too. I loved that game, even for all its flaws and quirks. Its absolutely horrible, really, but the main character's wise cracks and the (pointlessly) transformable mecha made the game sickeningly fun.

I have to say though, that System Shock 2 is THE definitive FPS experience. For all the joy of sneaking in Thief, the cybercraziness of Deus Ex, the mecha of Shogo, NO other FPS has drawn me in, scared me, and made me want to keep playing it like Shock2.

No One Lives Forever. Definately that. The best FPS IMHO. No screenies, but the review link from gamespot is here. The humor from that game is.... well about as good as the recent Seriously... thread. here's the link: http://gamespot.com/gamespot/filters/products/0,11114,913839,00.html

Funny this topic comes up now, a couple of days ago I re-installed Half-Life, Opposing Forces and Blue-Shift. I've finished HL and OF and am about 3/4 through Blue-Shift. All I've got to say is wow. Playing the entire thing after a break is like a wholesome slice of gaming pie - every minute is a pleasure, every shotgun blast a note of rapture! Needless to say HL is still very high on my top games list.

A friend of mine also purchased Medal of Honor yesterday and we played the first level at his house.... I'm very impressed! The look and feel of the game is incredible and I defintely need to buy it when I've got the money together.

Star Trek Voyager Elite force...I just love to shoot those borg fellas.

Yes Shogo was great... I liked it wery much (and I still do)

Oni was awesome, so were Half-Life and Deus Ex.
The plot in Deus Ex was exellent, I was so hooked up with the game that I just couldn't stop playing untill I had finished it (ok I DID sleep and go to school, but anyway).

My sentiments exactly. It really isn't that good of a game (oh, the level design! Ick!), but I enjoyed it a lot.

So many games, so little time...

Yeah, that was OK. Too short though. And they didn't use all the capabilites of the Q3 engine (at least as it seems to me)

Operation Flashpoint, the most realistic combat sim ever.

Bestgame with the worst translations

What you say??

Thorn · **Reply #15 on:** March 24, 2002, 07:45:23 am

Ok, that doesnt count..
I dont even consider that a game its so terrible

KillMeNow · **Reply #16 on:** March 24, 2002, 07:56:41 am

half life is without doubt the best first prson shooter ever - it was just so much fun - it was the first FPS i ever bought and i been looking for something as good for ages now but never do they succeed although medal of honor is good too but there are bits that are just damed imposiisble and the inability to shift down from normal to easy in these bits annoys me

half life hard its difficult bits but even if you got killed you normally knew what the solution was it was just implemtning it that was tricky - nah half life was the best

Nico · **Reply #17 on:** March 24, 2002, 08:12:47 am

Boya!!!!
thief stays my favourite one, but Renegade now comes very close. Half life kicked me,n but when I played it it was already quite old so the effect was not what it should have been if I had played it when it was out.
Oni is cool (tho not a FPS), but too darn hard, i was completly stuck at mission 04 or 05 dunno, it was impossible to beat the game, not enough checkpoints ( and people ask me why I don't like consoles? because of that ****ty save system, for exemple).
The most fun one? Duke3D

*runs*
"screaming from the distance": I didn't like Deus Ex, it looked horrible and I didn't "feel" the character *runs out of sight*
