How Success Killed Duke Nukem

We need a kickass shooter? Gears of War? Halo? Call of Duty? Unreal Tournament? Those are all ongoing shooter series.

everything past HL1 has been going downhill. ;)
 
of course its my Personal opinion, but Gears of War isnt FPS and it sucks, Halo is OVER HYPED and sucks too (worst storyline ever) now i already said Call of Duty and well, if you played the last Unreal Tournament you know it not as good as it was before.

and i agree with SuAside, HL1 was the last great shooter we had. but i have to say that HL2 wasnt bad either

EDIT: oh btw i am talking about a kickass SINGLE PLAYER shooter
 
So basically you're saying you want a shooter you like, not that 'we gamers' need a new Duke Nukem game.
 
what i was saying is that COD is the only major kickass FPS we have.

Gears of War isnt FPS (sorry when i said shooter i was talking about FPS) and i am also talking about games for PC that have good single player, so Halo doesnt count ( seriously, if you say Halo's single player is good, i dunno what to say)
and about unreal tournament, its not a bad game, it is just most multiplayer and even so the game has lost "its touch"

so what i am trying to say is that we "gamers" need another major kickass single player FPS game

No, it's the only FPS we have that you like. That's something else.
You're trying to speak for an entire demographic, based solely on your preferences. You're making excuses to disqualify games from your increasingly narrow definition of shooter, you've already excluded consoles from the 'gamer' segment.

And I haven't even named all of the games. Half-Life series, Wolfenstein series, Borderlands, the upcoming Rage game, the upcoming Doom 4.
 
awww, yeah i have expressed myself wrong,but cmon, you got the overall picture, name one exclusive FPS (without any RPG or whatever elements) major kickass and famous game for PC? upcoming ones of course dont count.

the new wolfenstein game might be a good one (havent played yet)

i excluded consoles because its not a common thing here (brazil)
so i am sorry about that.
 
New Wolfenstein sucks hard. The AI is dumb as fuck and the action is standard FPS fare.

If you want a good single-player FPS, try Stalker. I hear it's pretty cool.
 
What are you talking about? No mindless single player FPS? Crysis (sequel is coming), Far Cry 2, Fear 2, Wolfenstein, Call of Duty?

Borderlands

I think that would fall into the category "rpg elements", actually.

but agreed on CoD, Far Cry 2 etc. mindless action fps do have a place in modern gaming.
 
It's still not a pure fps in the spirit of Duke Nukem, Quake, Blood, Painkiller and Serious Sam.
 
Painkiller was awesome. So was Serious Sam.

Holy cow, how i forgot about Serious Sam, thats like Duke's brother. Painkiller hmm.... never heard about that game.

Well now its my opinion but Far Cry 2 was the WORST sequel to a good game that i EVER played (yes it beats fallout 3), you have to keep doing the same missions over and over again to unlock the damn weapons, the enemy keeps respawning at a annoying rate. sorry FC2 but graphics dont make up for shitty gameplay.

Fear 2 is more horror FPS than pure "mindless" FPS, but i agree with you in the rest, also, i agree with Dragula that Borderlands has too many RPG elements to be a pure FPS.

Agreed. Probably one of the worst games I've ever played. Also, Borderlands is really boring and it would've probably benefited from more RPG elements, not less. New Wolfenstein is crap too. I'm shocked you never heard of Painkiller, seeing as how you are a fan of kickass pure FPS action. That's one of the kickass games alright, go play it now.
 
Painkiller was awesome, and had one of the best levels in an FPS, IMO. The level where all of war was "frozen" was simply great.
 
so was it or was it not canceled? because they change their mind ever week or so..


anyway some last looks
