GI - "Love them or hate them, the last generation of console gaming was dominated by shooters. Although "shooter fatigue" became an increasingly popular ailment in the gaming community, it didn't stop millions from taking up arms with and against their fellow players, and developers were happy to continue providing virtual conflicts for us to fight in. Here are our picks for the top 10 shooters of last generation."
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
Times are changing, and these games would have never been made in today's climate.
Every single time someone uses this phrase whether it's music, movies, books, comics, video games, etc it's always the same claim.
The ubiquitous "they" won't allow it to be made. And every decade these claims are made the claimant completely ignores all the "offensive" material that is published when the claim is made.
In ten years, you can write a new article about how you can't make games like Helldivers 2, Resident Evil VIII, Mortal Kombat I, Dragon's Dogma 2, Alan Wake 2 etc etc etc any more.
Dead Island: "The early PC version of the zombie game swapped the playable character Purna’s Gender Wars skill with a prototype name, which shouldn’t be mentioned directly. The skill name made fun of both Purna as a character and feminists."
"Feminist Whore" lmao
ill add one more to the list.
drakengard 1.
its ridiculous tho, especially since they'd still be able to find their place in alot of places in the world. except america of course ha. and maybe Australia.
ppl are so sensitive these days. ha. but it is what it is.
They're not offensive.
And we need another Fat Princess. Fantastic little game!
Some people just have no sense of humour if this sort of thing offends them. They need to lighten up and stop taking themselves so seriously.
Cultured Vultures: In the spirit of preserving some kind of history of this industry, we’ve decided to list some of the best games that you just simply can’t get hold of digitally at the minute.
I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.
Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.
Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.
wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.
Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.
Horrible list. You add bioshock the original but not infinite? left 4 dead top 3? that's ridiculous.
I would list bad company 2 as the best fps this gen even though frostbite 3 was in bf3 and 4. and where is planetside 2? 5000 players on a single map! and maps bigger than all of the maps in any halo game combined!
I agree the list is pretty bad IMO
The fact they included Bulletstorm and not Killzone is ridiculous IMO. Bulletstorm was not a very good game in any regard.
Although uncharted's SP shooting mechanics needed work, as 3rd person shooter game the SP overall was much better than Gears IMO. Also the mp was good - it deserved a spot.
Vanquish had some of the best shooters gameplay ever created, it was absent from the list.
Not sure if Wolfenstein is "of the gen" but if so, it would definitely deserve a spot
All the above IMO!
There should be separate list for best FPS campaigns , best FPS multiplayer , best FPS CO-OP - best 3rdPS campaigns and so on - I am not a fan of the shooter catergory. Super Mario shoots turtles . In DOOM 1 and 2 there was some platforms you had to run fast and land on another platforms to get to secret areas.
Gears of War <3
Bulletstorm <3
Crap list. Where is
Halo 4
Halo Reach
Vanquish
Resistance 3
Child of Eden
Bioshock Infinite
