How do you Rank your best to bottom FPS??

[Wakey87]

Rank 1 - UT99, Counter Strike: Source
Rank 2 - Left 4 Dead 1/2, Serious Sam 1/2/3
Rank 3 - Half life, BioShock
Rank 4 - Killzone: Shadow Fall? Dunno tbh, if I'm not feeling it I just stop playing.

 

[Elvis Starburst]

But I really liked portal 1 and 2.

Huh, thought for sure you would've considered it hot fiery garbage cause it has a female protagonist. Ah well.

Fuckery aside, my actual list:

Top
1. Metroid Prime
2. Hawken
3. No Man's Sky (No, really. The NEXT update helped a lot)

Middle
1. Halo 3
2. Time Splitters 2
3. [May be filled in when I can remember one to go here]

Worst
1. CoD Black Ops
2. Borderlands 2
3. Moon

I'm probably forgetting a number of them, but eh, a top and worst 3 will do

Well, I'd say that the Half-Life series is still the gold-standard for FPS games, Doom comes close behind.

After that, it varies from decent games like the Halo series to absolute garbage fires such as every military shooter ever.

Um, you've got Bioshock 3 and BioShock Infinite listed as separate entries with separate scores.

Like, did I miss something?

I just tallied them as they were written. For all I knew 3 could've been Minerva's Den or that Burial thing. If you want to combine it with Infinite, just adjust its score to -1.

A big win for Perfect Dark. Can't argue, its #1 on my shooters list. And I'd have to throw Dark Forces (just the first one with blasters instead of all the Jedi crap in later games) and Lucasarts' Outlaws with Goldeneye in that second tier. Third would contain Bioshock and Infinite as well as the first half of Far Cry 3 and Painkiller. And every other shooter I've played is mediocre at best.

 

[Smithnikov_v1legacy]

But I really liked portal 1 and 2.

Huh, thought for sure you would've considered it hot fiery garbage cause it has a female protagonist. Ah well.

apperently its only one game with female protagonist that i really liked. cant think of anything else.

Not even No One Lives Forever? Well regarded FPS with female protag? Huh.

I tried NOLF some months ago or year ago. and it was mediocre. shooting suck and AI is too dumb.

FEAR is best monolith game ever.

I still haven't played it yet, so I couldn't vote for it- though it really does look right up my alley.

Deadly serious. Perhaps I should add that I didn't play any of the previous games in the series so had no particular familiarity or personal investment in the franchise. But I struggled through the first two joyless and unexciting levels, was frustrated by the clunky controls, unimpressed with the cookie-cutter clone enemies, and even the graphics struck me as being poor even for an Xbox 360 launch title. Ultimately I got very, very little enjoyment or entertainment out of this game which is how I arrived at that ranking.

Ahh- I get you- it was a sliding scale. There I was thinking you'd listed ALL those under best, and had nothing under worst
