I guess I'm just a plain old SHOOTER guy...

Singularity is a pretty cool game, it looks like Bioshock with some half life 2 epic boss fights.

Very good game. Doesn't get mentioned a lot.


I would also recommend Underhell. Free Source mod....though I hate to call it a "mod," because it's really a very well fleshed-out game...about 22 hours worth.

Bulletstorm

Painkiller
Also HellRaid will be awesome if it ever gets released but it may have been cancelled, not sure.

What about mixing it up a little and trying a space shooter?

We believe that combining easy-to-pick-up gameplay with AAA-quality graphics and sound with a captivating, non-linear story is something that many of you have still been waiting for.

I loved me some UT back in '02 and after. The only game that has come close to giving me that experience is the F2P "Loadout" game.

I still rock it out, even though my gaming time is less than 5 hours per week,

I UT'd for the longest time too.

PvZ: Garden Warfare. I'm not joking. Super balanced and great replay value. I've been playing every damn day since I discovered it nearly a year ago. 2 is coming spring.

Who needs ultra 3D graphics - that's not stopping millions from playing WoW.

Call Of Juarez was so much fun, the story was pretty great and entertaining. Wasn't it $15 when it was released? It was my favorite shooter in ages, I know it wasn't uber long, but there are shorter games that aren't even close to as good and were $60 when released.

Far Cry Blood Dragon's another sleeper, I still haven't finished it. But the stories so over the top and I love the toilet humor. It's just fun to play, damn I need to go finish it.

Rainbow six: Vegas

I hope you'd enjoy it, I did twice.

Painkiller is a classic - dont miss out on that one

2 pages into a shooter thread and nobody mentioned Spec Ops: The Line? For shame!
Seriously OP, if you want a good shooter with an awesome story to go with it, this is the game!

Thanks man! 29.99 on Steam digital download, 9.16 on amazon if I buy the disk...

 

[futurefields]

wait for a sale, Spec Ops: The Line goes for $4.99 quite often.

ah...ok

Shadow Warrior.

I highly recommend this too, it can be as much of a shooter as you want it to be, or, a full hack n slash with your katana which is very satisfying along with the special moves. I mean you can get a quadruple barrel shotgun, or just slice and dice enemies in many pieces with some awesome combos. What's not to like about that!

You may want to get the Enhanced Steam add-on for whatever browser you have. Its best feature is that it provides pricing data for whatever you're looking at on Steam through your browser (i.e. not while using the Steam client). This can be helpful if you want to make sure that you're not paying too much for something as it will show you the current low price and the historic low price.

A favorite game of mine that was just like playing a shooter, but wasn't a shooter, was Burnout Paradise. Playing online, all people did was ram and crash into each other to get takedown points. Damn that was the best.

I really want to play Eve: Valkary, looks like so much fun. Also the upcoming Star Wars battlefront looks to have some cool shooter missions.

Stalker: Call of Pripyat is worth a try. It is a shooter but it is free roaming with missions so a bit more open plan than a corridor shooter. I don't play many games like that anymore though, I got burned out during the Wolfenstein 3d era. For me that was the pinnacle of single player shooters. I try occasional ones though.

Call of Juarez I really enjoyed, but I tried the sequels and hated them. They tried to become Call of Duty and I preferred their original idea.

If you don't mind playing older stuff, System Shock 1 and 2 are some of my favorite games of all time. They are as much RPG as they are shooters though and quite old now. Vampire Bloodlines is similar.

The only shooter I play nowadays is Arma3, but I play it mostly for one specific mode (CTI) because you start of shooting, then progress to driving tanks and vehicles and ordering squads around, and eventually you fly gunships and jets. That's the game for me now because it is just so huge. It can be played single player too, it has a good campaign and lots of single player missions and you can download more user made missions or make your own.

That looks like a great game. Not sure how I missed this game, but going to keep my eye out for a Steam sale.

 

[Sable]

Hard Reset was a good classic shooter type game. Painkiller as well.

good call. great game. Hard REset is oldschool shooterness.

 

[Fire&Blood]

FEAR, it's easily in my top 20 shooter list of all time.

 

[tg2708]

I've been replaying all the Crysis Games, Doom 3 BFG edition, I've played all the Borderlands, Wolfenstein, Quakes, Stalker, Metro's, Serious Sam, Farcry, etc...

I don't like to have to THINK too much when I'm playing a game...

Are there any GREAT shooters I am missing?

Whether this is a good or bad thing I think the same way too.

 

[biostud]

Bioshock series.

 

[Anomaly1964]

Bioshock series.

Played them, GREAT games. I played infinite too but thought the original bioshock games were MUCH better!

The classic Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, plus the two other expansions.
I remember playing it in 2007 along with the original CoD, and both were still fun.

In 2012 or 2013 as I remember, I went through Ultimate Doom on a 27" monitor with scaled aspect ratio, and that was fun as hell. (many would disagree though)


Oh, Conflict: Desert Storm II, not exactly an FPS but probably you might enjoy.
