Games to play aside from phg

Story heavy = bad

Limited options making you pick and choose in situations with pro’s and cons is inherently worse than just having every weapon available from the get go apparently.

I agree that is a flaw but it hardly ruined shooters

Apparently you have to have fast pacing to be good. Fuck games that want to take it slow

I NEED SPEED PUMPED DIRECTLY INTO MY VAINS GOD DAMN IT

Yes having the options to make your weapon accurate is so much worse than have spray 100% of the time

Bruh modern warfare 2 has projectiles and it doesn’t even effect anything outside of warzone. It’s not even a gameplay change anymore.

And what’s wrong with fast ttk? Not the epitome of skill? God forbid a game isn’t the number one esport

Fuck off cod didn’t ruin shooters you just have different tastes and don’t like that’s where the industry went

One last thing

Right here

You state that regen health is bad

But now it depends on execution?

Elaborate your actual point instead of spouting stuff that everyone has no choice but to take the wrong way because there’s nothing to Elaborate on it

Halo had both. Your shields regenerated but your health did not. You still had to find med kits littered around the map to get that back. In every other game you can sit behind cover for as long as you want and be invincible. Halo’s AI would flank, rush & grenade throw to force you to be on the move constantly so that they could whittle you down. You were not invincible just because your shields came back. In COD if I wanted to beat any level I could just go prone behind some rubble until I healed like Wolverine and bam, back to the fight. Slow & tedious & not a challenge. Even in WW2 they gave you an Ally that could throw full heals at you whenever you wanted. There’s one mission that has you fight a Panzer and you can legit just go prone in a trench and wait for your team to draw its fire and throw you a full heal and then you get an easy grenade or rocket to its back. Rinse & repeat. Terrible design.

Games like Halo, Doom, Ion Fury, etc. They all bring the fight to you and don’t let up. They also give you good options. You don’t need a sprint because you’re fast enough to not need it. You don’t have ADS because your guns are accurate & not pieces of shit from the get go. They give you multiple weapons because each one serves a precise function. Chaingun for stunlocking & high DPS. Shotgun for CQC. Rockets for bosses & vehicles, etc. The handgun for accuracy and small engagements. Everything is designed with intent & purpose.

But then some idiots thought the industry would be better by slowing it down. Removing player options & freedom. Making your guns worse & more cookie cutter. They dumbed shit down, they made it too easy & they removed player expression.

I found that too with battlefield V (and before you call me a hypocrite or a simp, I got it for free on ps lol. That’s how shit that game was) and it made it incredibly boring to play.

Some people just don’t understand that we legit just had BETTER games before 2008. They were more tightly designed & fun. But in the pursuit of a “modern audience” & in the case of Multiplayer titles, E-Sports & tournaments: Devs started dumbing games down, removing options & functionality & getting less experimental.

Maps had to be smaller & compact. A lot of verticality was removed in favor of hallways & tight corners. Weapons couldn’t be placed around the map in specific places, people had to have curated loadouts.

TTK became incredibly fast meaning a lot of gun variety got whittled down as E-Sports generally pursued a mix of ARs, Rifles & Semi-Auto Handguns. Weapons such as Shotguns, Rocket Launchers, Grenade Launchers & even experimental stuff like laser weaponry fell out of design because they couldn’t fit into this highly curated competitive environment.

Unique power ups & items were replaced by killstreaks which ultimately just led to more of a power imbalance by allowing players who got a lot of kills to keep getting more kills for a lot less effort instead of having them balance that streak by relying entirely upon their core movement & weapons on the battlefield.

It’s a shame Titanfall was just utterly fucked because it actually got a lot of what made older FPS work so well. It had a fun gimmick. It had unique movement. It wasn’t just boots on the ground, prone around a corner and wait for an instant kill headshot with an AR or pistol when somebody walks through the door. Even Doom 2016’s multiplayer whilst flawed got what made older games work. It had nice vertical & looping arenas with weapons & healing kits scattered around them.

And perhaps most importantly in TF2’s case, it had a good solid campaign. Much like the original Halo trilogy, and games such as Doom 2016 & Doom Eternal.

TF2, Doom Multiplayer… Stop it, you’re gonna make me cry like a baby for our fallen comrades.

To be perfectly fair, Xeno’s viewpoint must be fairly widespread. I once had a disk copy of CoD Black Ops 3, and I wanted to sell it. Turns out it goes for like 50p if you’re lucky XD

#51

Anyway, here’s a list of really solid shooters on the market right now.

BO3 is just known as a bad game in general (though I call it mediocre) it’s also competing with being free on Playstation, and came out after BO2 which is known as the last good game before cod went to shit minus some exceptions.

And the good content that it did come with it is dlc

If you want a good example of a loved slow paced game

Dark souls

Well no shit.
There’s a reason there’s an entire genre of games widely known as ‘souls-likes’ lmao

I’ve played ultrakill, and it’s pretty fucking fun… these kind of retro breakneck shooters are a niche market tho unfortunately, i would love to see some more developed (that AREN’T blatant ripoffs of doom games).
There was one recently, last I checked it was still early access, but it was a kind of cyberpunk arcade shooter with the familiar quick-paced reaction-time-focused combat arc, but it was refreshingly different. I can’t remember the name, but the player’s character has a literal chainsaw leg lol

#55

I mean, SWBF2 is pretty fun…

Can play as casual or as sweaty as you want, and is really fucking fun when playing with friends (or spending a match shield cucking @Fire when he tries to snipe).

#56

Just mad cause you suck at sniping

#57

I’m not familiar with a definition of sniping that involves popping the shield and standing directly in the line of fire of a friendly sniper. That more falls in the line of trolling.

You wanna go bro? You v me, last sniper standing wins?

#58

Exactly

#59

Dumb ass, you cant snipe worth a shit.
That’s why you blocked my shots.

YOU SUCK.

#60

Well that’s fairly ‘duh’. Shits don’t have high-caliber rounds, gunpowder or a trigger mechanism in them (at least, they shouldn’t if you’ve been eating your vegetables).

And that’s not true.
You can. From the top of a building.
