The only fps I've played on regular basis i Quake 1. I had a demo version of Quake 3 arena too which I enjoyed immensely. And since we apparently count Mirror's Edge and Portal as fps here I have to add htose to the list of fps I've actually enjoyed.

I can't really say I love fps and I've only played a few of them. I like them when the tempo is high, like in Unreal Tournament where every death comes like a surprise and mostly you don't know what hit you XD

I'm not a particular fan of FPS games; I am not very good at them and never did do well with twitch games, even in casual or easy mode, I find I sometimes need reload several times to complete some battles. I have no interest in crunching numbers to create character builds and such, and I often prefer to auto level than micromanage a shooter game character.

On the other hand, I much prefer a RPG that allows me to micro manage my character and fellow party members (in single player games) wher combat isn't about my ability to twitch to targets and click to fire at them.

I find ME 2 (a game I consider as mostly a shooter with some RPG elements) can be rather fun to play, but would prefer more of a tactical style of play based on character ability rather than my own ability to twitch and click targets. I find most shooters rather boring over all.

 I kinda hate that aspect. I generally like to have a good sense of the playing field, in where other players may come from, enviroment and tactical awareness (game type). For that, I really disliked Crysis 2 multiplayer. The maps were great, shooting mechanics solid but there isn't a hit ping(detection/reaction), when you are being shot at. You could be lit up by a bb-gun to the back and die, never knowing you were facing death by a thousand pellets.

 Most FPS campaigns can't hold my attention long, and for most of the time I struggle to find the will to finish them. The first Resistance, COD2 & 4, and Halo 2 held my attention, and were quite fun, but as age creeps in I find myself less easily amused.

 I haven't purchased a FPS, or TPS core game solely for the single player since Resistance. Multiplayer takes precedence these days, and is the only reason I buy/rent FPS games. Even at that I have a dwindleling interest in them. Perhaps it's the lack of creativity on the market, or, most likely, my need for deeper game indulgence with other genres, such as RPGs and RTS type games.

I like FPSers, but that was before i explored RPGs. I logged in a lot of hours on games like Half Life 1&2, and then Counter-Strike. Early Battlefield installments, like, the first Call of Duty (none after that). Then i played RTS a lot, things like Command and Conquer, Age of Empires, and crapload of Warcraft 3.

Then i picked up an RPG, and no other genre holds me quite like a good RPG.

Doesn't mean i don't still like a good FPS, but a good RPG can be so engaging. I'm currently enjoying The Witcher 2. For sure one of the best games i've played in the last few years.

Its a mixed bag for me.
On the one hand I cannot sand the halos and CoDs or all the war games really. But Borderlands, Mirror's Edge, The Darkness, Bioshock are great games.
Hell the best game I ever played was a first person/third person shooter... Tribes 2.

The problem is the online FPS suffers from the biggest flaw in online gaming, camping and lag switches. Even running own server for FPS titles ending having to boot around 50-100 people within a day for wall hacks and aimbots and lag switching.

I have lost all interest in online FPs play, single story aspect all I care about now, and only for titles like Skyrim, Deus Ex, System Shock and Fallout aka not generic CoD, BF, Black Ops, Killzone type 5 - 7 hours storymode titles. Instead only really the FPS/RPG hybrids as they have longer story mode.

I never play FPS online or even offline on console due to the lower resolution graphics on them, aimbot mechanics required to help you aim using a controller and instead prefer use of keyboard and accuracy of mouse.

Swat 4 and Rainbow Six (early versions) were fun though single player FPS titles.

 Aside from Borderlands, the others mentioned don't neccesarily fit 'my' description of a core shooter. Mirror's Edge leaned towards an innovative platformer while Bioshock resembled a mystery/detective sudo-rpg.

 Borderlands incorporated a (although flawed) proggressive co-op experience, which is rare to find in FPS games, unless competing in point level runs count (like in World of War (although the original zombies was very fun)).

 I guess the closest 'bridge' game I can think of would be Left 4 Dead. You could have just as much fun playing the campaign with friends as trying your hand at the multiplayer.

 Perhaps my definition of a core FPS game is skewed. I haven't found merit in a single player FPS experience for quite some time, and don't expect to. /expectations

[KenKenpachi]

FPS and RPG's are the bulk of my games, and in both cases I'm picky. Short of that RTS, then Fighting and racers in a low minority. (such as maybe 1 in 20) Most FPS games I like, but alot of the ones on X-box that are aimed at MP I just skip. Not my sort of games. I like a good SP game far more.

Indeed it was the only shooter I got very competitive with and with the servers gone I never could do it again with anything else (nothing really came close in my book)
There was a point in my life where Tribes 2 was the only game I played for the better part of 4 years.
There was a point where disk launching a guy in mid air meant you were a man!

 Looks like a recent (5 years ago) indie turn-based strategy game I used to crack out on adapted it's engine (Scorched Earth).

 I can easily see how Tribes could've been addictive being it was on par (from the looks) with games released several years later.

I've ben playing FPS games since Wolfenstein 3D, and I can say they've always been among the most popular video game titles, and considered something of the Cadillac of the game industry when it came to showcasing graphics and technology. I've also grown to find them boring and repetitive and they occasionally give me headaches (mostly the older ones, but some contemporary ones do too). I still play about 1 year, but it really is a played one, played them all kind of genre.

[Ulous]

It was all going fine until Goldeneye came along and ****ed it all up, now if an FPS isn't at least half as good as goldeneye I can barely bring myself to play it, that stands for pretty much every FPS since then.


I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Duke Nukem Forever though.

[Elhanan]

Have only played one FPS based game: Stone Keep. No twich skill needed.

[Riloux]

FPS games that have an actual story and purpose, are fine. Bioshock and Mass Effect, for example. But for me, I don't enjoy the actual play style of shooting games, so I mostly avoid them. It just feels endlessly repetitive to me.

 And there in, I think you've defined the modern day FPS single player campaign (if not including co-op of).

 Of course the same could be said of the multiplayer, however a different degree of challenge is presented. Besides, most FPS developers nowadays rarely give 1/10 of their developement towards single player campaigns. Halo and COD have made this so...............actually, nevermind, *we made it so, as a populace.

[Remmirath]

I like first person shooters some of the time, mostly when I just want to go shoot things - but I suppose I do find the majority of them boring. So, my favourite is Unreal Tournament 2004, as in my opinion it's the best for shooting things, and the most fun. I do also like Half-Life, since I find it interesting (and Tron 2.0, for the same reason).

The more 'real world army' and 'tactical combat' a shooter is, though, the less I tend to like it. I suppose I tend to like my shooters more on the fast and twitchy and definitely unrealistic end, though I don't like other games to be so.

[v_ware]

Most are pretty bland, but you've got really good ones too. (like with any other genre)

Bioshock, Crysis, HL2....

[Fishy]

The  day of quake 3 arena are gone sadly ..Today FPS are slow and boring.
Can't wait for Duke Nukem forever though.

I tend to steer clear of them. Mostly because I'm not really good, so when I do play them, I abuse the auto-aim function. It also annoys me that player characters in FPS games generally have no characterization whatsoever. That said I loved Mirror's Edge and *gasp* found Modern Warfare 1 and 2 to be fun.

[sympathy4saren]

I do. I think they are easy, bland, poorly written and absolutely boring.

I loved Golden Eye 007 and Perfect Dark for Nintendo 64, and I still play sometimes those games, but these shooters nowadays are just bland and boring. I can play one to blow off some steam, but never in a million years would I buy one.

The exception is the Half-Life series. Love it...brilliant writing by Valve and great story/characters. Seeing Alyx Vance hurt triggered emotion. I also think Crysis is ok, although they copied A LOT from Half-Life

Me too. Weekends, snow days...there was many a snow day where I would play Perfect Dark all day. One thing that made Perfect Dark amazing was secondary options for weapons, an interesting story even if it wasnt written like today's games, and the multiplayer that let you FIGHT AI opponents. Lol remember FistSim in his red overalls...you'd hear the punching and run for your life so your screen wouldn't get all blury. There were a bunch of Sims and the AI was excellent. I miss Rare, gaming would be a better industry with them still in it.

Ugh I feel bad for those who tried Perfect Dark Zero and got their perception of Perfect Dark off of that...Perfect Dark was not that at all.

Man, gaming has come so far. I remember hearing someone say "why me" after I shot them and remember saying how amazing that was, lol

The most significant FPS mechanic in the last ten years is probably regenerating health. I stopped playing those games years ago upon realizing that they’re not going to evolve any further. There are exceptions like Mirror’s Edge and Amnesia, but they use the first person view for atmosphere and style rather than as a means to shoot people in the face. You know how there are RPG elements in every game now, regardless of genre? That’s what should have happened to the FPS – it needs to be stripped down for spare parts to make hybrid games.

[FDrage]

Personally I don't like story based FPS (or TPS for that matter) that much as they usually get annoying at one point or another ... there are a few notable exception but these usually come from the fact that a) they aren't originally for the shooter section or they ahave other things to offer that goes way beyond pure shooter aspects (e.g. ME or Deus Ex).
Never finished the campaign for MW or BF:BC2 or Farcry or any of the Halo games (to name a few) ... I usually (every now and then) give a game of that kind a chance but it usually ends up in the same area.

FPS I usually exclusively play for the multiplayer part (most notable is the BF-series for that)., which can be tons of fun .
