Not everything that scores well sells, and not all the big names are the best games. Check out these shooters that deserved to do much better than they really did. If you’ve played any, then kudos to you. If not, consider checking some of them out.
Back in 2011, Epic Games and People Can Fly launched a Call of Duty parody - Duty Calls - that has been lost to the annals of history.
"Duty Calls: The Calm Before the Storm" sounds more like a massive case of the sh**s. 😂
I saw the parody mention, and half expected the ability to drop a deuce on your opponent... I left disappointed.
Never too much Taco Tuesday!! Now if only we could just achieve eternal Taco Tuesdays without the inevitable Wipe-It Wednesdays!!! 😂😂

Bulletstorm will soon receive a VR remake, but is it worth revisiting? Take a look back at the original 2011 release.
Absolutely. I remember when the game came out on ps360, I thought: "wow, another shooter" and in the 7th gen that wasn't an unfair reaction.
But when the game was re-release on ps4 I took my time an played it (it was on playstation plus at the time) because, ironically, I missed a shooter in that console. And boy, what a fun game! They made a game to be played and not to be watched. It was a fresh air in the genre that deserved better.
So yes. Maybe it find its audience this time.
It's an awesome game. The only exception (for my taste) is the script writing, which is OTT, but I guess that's what they were going for. It does at least match the OTT action and gore. I thought it was great overall and actually being in this game is going to be bonkers!
Yeah, I agree that storywise it's not an Oscar nominee, but it's like a porn movie in game format.
Agree with the over the top script, and felt at the time that was the only thing that people were hyped about, the language and not game play.
But in vr this game is going to be great. It has everything that would make a great vr game. Lots of bombastic action, gunplay, blood, and that leash.
Looking at the gameplay now it seems that the game was ahead of it’s time and was perfect for vr before vr wasn’t even off the ground.
I got it on PS3 at launch and am still waiting for the long rumored sequel to finally be announced. Currently have it on Switch and wish a physical version of that would be released. Absolutely love it.
I actually feel like this game gets revived all the time, not that I hate the game, I actually quite like it, it's just constantly available, unfortunately I'm not a fan of VR so I'll be skipping this version.
GF365: "Here are eight games that need sequels. These games are ones that players would love to experience another time, bigger and better."
Bloodborne is a game I still restart and play every few months. I would welcome just a re release in 60fps with a visual upgrade. It's a perfect game. If I was king for a day I would include the randomizer mods because then it would be a kind of rogue like and I could play it forever.
.... Where's Vanquish!?
Why is this tagged for X360?
Gotham city impostors was good but turned Into a giant turd receiving very little attention from monolith (lag, imbalancement, frame drops, poor hit detection). Resistance 3 is way to cod like and less resistance like. I would put kz3 in that list, but then kz3 is also a giant turd with cheaters (mostly lagging pu**ies) ruining it. That's why those games sold little, because too much was changed or received little support from devs.
I agree with everything on this list and as "Yi-Long" said Vanquish should be on this list as well. All of those games are good games, and if you're a shooter fan you won't be disappointed with any of them.
One a side note Bulletstorm sold poorly, because it should have been a Xbox360 exclusive to begin with. If you had a PS3 and a 360 there was no point in getting the game for the PS3 when the 360 version came with the Gears of War Beta. They set themselves up for failure with that move, but as I said all of these are good games, and if you enjoy shooters you should pick them up.
