Best Shooter!?

[Saph]

Sup bros n sis' in gaming!

Ya'll know me, and ya'll love me(I hope, cause I wub you)

ANYWAY, I made this thread for a damned reason so why am I wasting time by explaining my affection for you guys.

Oh burn

ANY
WAY

Uhm, so I had my parents over for the past two weeks as some of you may know! And I managed to convince him to get me another 2 games for my oh so important birthday(which YES, god damnit it IS! on the 1st of April, hard to believe as that may be!!), and I've decided on 1 already.


The Sims: Medieval

I'm sorry, but I LOOOOVE The Sims! And this one I just can't pass up, so I'm deffinately getting this one!

So now I'm not sure what to get for my 2nd game?

I thought about Crysis 2, but uhm yeah no, my computer cant even get close to running that on a reasonable graphics level!

I thought about Halo, but alas, it is not for PC, atleast not the one I want, Halo 2 is, but ugh, I did it, didn't like it.

I thought about Call of Duty, but I see so many games from CoD on here that havn't gotten the best reviews!

So I'm honestly not sure WHAT to get?

I was also pondering on a free roaming world RPG(sorta like Oblivion), but I can't think of any.

So you guys tell me, what is your favorite shooter game & RPG game(Free world) out there right now? And are there any hyped up ones that'll come out in the near future worthy of consideration?

Share your thoughts!

Favorite shooter...right now all I play is BFBC2 and L4D2. And BF3 is coming out soon so that's something to keep your eye open for.

As for RPG - I haven't been much of an RPG guy in years, can't really recommend anything good.

If we're talking strictly FPS (excluding TPS and the like) my favorites are: Half-Life 2, Bioshock, Goldeneye, and I could say Crysis if only for the visuals (I'll still occasionally load up an old save just to run around and shoot ****, while marveling at the beauty).

Edit: If you are interested in HL2, get The Orange box, you get several amazing shooters for the price of one. It's like 30 bucks on steam, one of the best deals you'll find.

BFBC2 L4D2 BF3

What do these mean?

And I'm thinking about MMOG shooters, not just single player ones, although they could do the trick, but I'd really preffer an MMOG one that's popular right now

Hard choice mate, to be honest.
If you have a spy at my review on Crysis 2 though, I have system specs for you to have a look at, can you not even meet those? Crysis 2 doesn't require an awesome PC to run it at a respectable visual level.

Call of Duty: Black Ops is a funny one. People love it, people hate it. Hardcore Call of Duty gamers like myself who have been there since the start of the franchise, around seven years ago, tend to dislike it and it's overkill ways. But if you like an arcade shooter, which is fast paced and full of noobs and imbalanced kill streak rewards, then Black Ops is the game for you! :P

Avoid Homefront for the PC, it just won't be worth it.

I would recommend Battlefield Bad Company 2 if you haven't got it already. It's the most fun and one of the most balanced FPS games that's out there.
The multiplayer is amazing fun, and it's kept me entertained for a massive amount of time. I'm sure Linux will back me up by saying it's a great game, too.
The campaign is of a decent length, and the story and characters are good fun

BFBC2: Battlefield Bad Company 2
L4D2: Left for Dead 2

Oh, I'd agree with Bioshock. It's one of the very few FPS games I actually liked (I'm not a huge fan of the first-person view in anything). If you want multiplayer, then I'd say Left for Dead 2 is probably a pretty good one to pick, from everything I've heard.

As for RPGs... my brain is broken and I can't think of anything. o_o

[Mordry]

Half-Life 2, no doubt.

BFBC2: Battlefield Bad Company 2
L4D2: Left for Dead 2

What muffin Said and BF3 is just Battlefield 3.

As for the shooters, they're all multiplayer, I don't really play single player games anymore.

Tell us how The Sims Medieval turns out, looked good, but a little weary of trying it.

Also, Halo all the way man. A great game. One of the best out there I would have to say. Left 4 Dead is always a good choice. Always reliable in times of boredom and such.
