Why are the North American early adopters of the Xbox One the most neglected group in next-gen gaming?
Popularized by Doom in 1993 and still making video game haters gnash their teeth today, first-person shooter games are the best thing to happen to gamers since pizza rolls. So here are 15 underrated first-person shooter games you may have missed.
Although the late 2000s Turok wasn't my favorite, I would love a new entry. Open world survival with shotguns and dinosaurs. Not sure how we'd get the fusion cannon, but that would be pretty sweet too.
Lol
All of these games are pretty much universally praised. Outside of Timeshift I literally own all of these.
XIII, The Darkness 2, Far Cry: Blood Dragon, Timesplitters: future perfect, Bulletstorm are awesome games
Windows Central: "Titanfall 1 is being sunset, taken off storefronts by EA. While the servers remain live for now, one has to wonder just how much time it has left. I look back and pay tribute to the last "twitch"-styled shooter I ever truly loved."
Sales for the original Titanfall are being discontinued.
It will be pulled from subscription services on March 1, 2022.
Physical media. Unfortunately the way games are going these days game servers will eventually be shut down and you can stare at the menu and wish you could play the game again.
Prices in Europe are higher so I don't feel too bad about them getting a free game. Also nobody is forcing you to be an early adopter. If you want to pay less or get a free game, don't buy a console at launch.
I totally get the "don't be an early adopter" idea. I'm usually in that camp 95% of the time. With that said I do think the optics are bad for MS in this case. There are still lots of disgruntled people who feel like they got a raw deal. Thanks for checking out the article btw.
Thanks for the comments. The prices in Europe have always been higher than in the states. The point here & the one I was trying to make is that MS knew they needed to do more to entice European consumers so they offered free games. My complaint isn't that I'm early adopter, it's that NA early adopters got the shaft when compared to other markets.
I know that some folks might see as a bad thing but I wonder if it will ingratiate some people back into the fold. I think if the bundles and TitanFall sell well (probably will) if this won't be a good move for them.
MS should offer Titan Fall at a discount for Day one console owners at least.
