Come now you yourself state as such in the OP. Anyway yes I knew it could come off like that which is why if you read a teeny little bit further down you'd find my suggestion. As it was not even worth a brushing off I'll take it as you're not interested.ninja666 said:
Oh, sorry. I was so focused on your cryptic point of the post that I simply didn't notice your suggestion. You're right, though - MGS isn't really what I'm looking for. As for Deus Ex, I'd have to watch some gameplay videos of it to see if I like it or not.Rozalia1 said:
If you want a game like Tomb Raider 2013, there's a great one that's also completely free. Have a friend/relative sit in front of you and randomly hold up one of a selection of cards, each with a picture of one of your console's controller's buttons. They would hold up a picture of the X button, for example, and you have to hit it within 2 seconds or you "die" and have to reload a "checkpoint".
You can also play a variation of the game where your friend or relative sits in the same room but out of sight and they randomly shout out X, Y, B or A (or Square, Circle, Triangle and X if you have a playstation controller). You have to push the button they tell you to.
This game is better than Tomb Raider since it has the exact same gameplay but with minimal cost and you don't even need the TV or console turned on. This game is also a great alternative to Resident Evil titles.

I'm not sure there is anything that matches all your criteria that you haven't already played, but perhaps you could give one of these a go? They're all FPS games, so sorry if that's not what you're looking for.
Wolfenstein: The New Order
Good gunplay, some very interesting settings and most areas offer stealthy options as well as a full frontal assault. You're able to lean around corners, but I don't remember anything else to do with a cover system. Also has a nice story, even if it is a bit dark.
Crysis Series
Mostly the same as above. Shooting was alright, levels were large and there were plenty of options for stealth and guns blazing, and the environments are gorgeous. Story was meh.
These next ones are a bit of a stretch, but they tick some of the boxes so you might find something to enjoy.
Bulletstorm
Gameplay was varied and very fun, as were the environments. No options for stealth, unfortunately. Story was surprisingly engaging.
Alien Rage
Weapons are hard hitting and feel satisfying to use. It's also quite hard. I've only played the demo on steam, but as far as I can tell there's no stealth or platforming and the setting and characters are pretty generic sci-fi spacemarine bull.
Dishonoured
It's a fantasy game, and not much of a shooter even though it does have some guns/crosbows in it. It's versatile in how you want to approach the levels, weather you want to stealth all the way through without being detected or go in guns blazing and sword slashing to leave no one alive. Art style and the environments are interesting, story is meh. If you do decide to get it, grab the Knife of Dunwall and Brigmore Witches DLC too.

Well, I never said I didn't want FPS games. It just happened that all the recommendations so far were TPSs. I don't blame anyone for that, though - it's easier to find something I'm looking for in the TPS library.Blacklight28 said:
It actually is exactly what I'm looking for, but, unfortunately, I've played that one already. I especially liked the sliding option in it - combined with dual-wielded SMGs it gave amazing results.Blacklight28 said:
I've played the first Crysis before, but it just didn't click with me. I know it sounds weird, since I like Far Cry, but Crysis is a little bit different than those.Blacklight28 said:
Played that one already. This one is quite a bit of a stretch, though, considering there's little to no killing with guns in it and it relies far more on environmental kills.Blacklight28 said:
Looks like a standard, fun, oldschool shooter. Nothing more, though. I might pick it up one day just for shits and giggles.Blacklight28 said:
While it definitely allows you to take whatever approach you desire, it actually punishes you for killing by spawning more rats and zombies (or whatever they were), and giving you the bad ending, so it basically forces you to be stealthy. That I don't like.Blacklight28 said:
Hmm, doesnt seem its been mentioned and I had loads of fun playing it. Seeing as FPS games are now in the 'run' Id like to throw in
Shadow Warrior 2013
I literally started playing it and could barely put it down. Buckets of blood and a wise cracking asshat demon as a follower. I actually was more then pleasantly surprised whilst playing it. It had a lot of collecting/exploring to do. Even though the game itself is linear, aka, go here..do this. But from the build up it always felt exactly necessary to do that. The customization of your character/powers/weapons always encouraged (in my opinion atleast..) to play with what weapon I chose..etc etc. I couldve run through the entire game with only my sword, or I couldve run through blowing my Uzi the entire game. The graphics are quite beautiful..etc etc. Its on sale oftenish, and I really find it to be one of the 'untold' heroes in the gaming world...got way too little coverage. It has 1 or 2 parts that can be a bit infuriating...those damned bull demons... but besides that, all in all in was a great investment imo and I wouldnt trade it back for anything.
