I don't know what either of those TLAs mean.

The movement in titanfall separated it from COD quite considerably and meant good players could have a field day. COD style matchmaking got boring pretty fast though, give me ranked play back please.

Haven't really been keeping tracking of it, but does Destiny play a bit like an rpg?  Cos ever since the Deus Ex & Stalker series, I've been hankering for a proper fps-hybrid. For me, cross fertilization is the only thing that will keep the FPS alive.   I don't need ranked scoreboards and team co-op palava, just give me some downtime and a nice bit of inventory shuffling.

I just want a game with more to do then just panning shit over and over.

Prey 2 sounded amazing in an Edge preview but it was vapourware.

That first level of Prey. One of the best openers for a loooooong time.

Never really played Blood, so don't have much to say about it. Fucking loved Duke, though.

Considering the theme of the thread, I'm a little concerned there haven't been any comments about the video I posted at the top of the page.

I like gibs. Give me more gibs. I don't want robots exploding, I want entrails and heads popping off in showers of red. With gibs. Gibgs gibs gibs gibs gibs. Did I mention Gibs?

I did. Several times.

Does he pronounce the full word the same way?

Personally, I'm not so bothered about the theme of FPS' as I am what the mechanics are like.

Yeah I say to him "giblets mother fucker, giblets" but to no avail. Haven't seen him in years now 'cept for crazy posts on FB.

Some people do just seem to attract them.

I still haven't figured out what ITT is, BTW.

Imo the attitude from gamers publishers and journalists needs to change. Every time a developer tries to make a game from a fp it is put up against Halo/Cod /battlefield. If it doesn't meet the sales or play like one of them it is deemed crap. Compare that to other genres like racing where there are a variety of sub genres all as good as each other.

The racing genre seems to be getting smaller all the time though and the variety was being provided by old school devs able to polish and iterate from legacy titles and use knowledge from the PS2 era. I don't think there were ever that many devs able to do something convincing with FPS genre and what passed as AAA a few generations ago wouldn't cut it today.

It's fine to say that new games don't get a chance, but something like Brink makes buyers very nervous of anything new in the genre because it was fundamentally broken in a way that makes the famously shoddy BF4 launch look not too bad.

I'm sure I've seen it in other threads as well.

Has anyone on here played Call of Juarez: Gunslinger? I think it's still one of the finest examples of the FPS genre and I still put it on from time to time. It's great for a quick blast. 

I've been trying to get into Blands 2 recently but it takes so long to actually make progress and some sections take over an hour, I just don't have the time for it. I suppose co op is the way to go but I can't work out how to get people into my game. I don't want to go into other people's games, I've done that before and I was massively under levelled. 

I also detest the endless picking up of loot. Not only do you have to point your cursor over a bin or box to open it, you have to press another button exactly on the item you want to pick up. Why can't I just auto pick up loot like cash for christ sake? 

It gets annoying and tiresome really quick, especially with the amount of loot strewn about the levels. It was one of the many reasons I fucked Bioshock Infinte off.  

The basic mechanics of Blands are great, but the vehicle sections and endless collectathon gameplay just get in the way.

They heard that penny drop in France.
