5 Things Every FPS Should Have

FPS games have some of the most thrilling action-packed events in them. They've become very popular over the past decade with graphics capabilities improving tenfold. First Person Shooters have the potential to be gorgeous intense gameplay experiences, although with many of the popular FPS games coming out with the same “formula” there are certain areas that can improve. Here are 5 Things Every FPS Should Have.

I find that they should have something that makes them different. By that I mean something that makes it more than a mindless "shoot at the baddies" game.

or hide behind a tree and regenerate! HEALTHPACKS FTW !

"Oh Noez my healthz iz louz hide behind cardboard tree until iz healz automaticalyz!"

I miss Medpacks :/ especially when you were low on health and you had no choice but to take it slow and not go mad in case you got killed

List was weird.

Generic and pointless.

He pretty much named each Call of Duty that comes out every year. =/

May as well have called it: Five things that makes me like Call of Duty every year.

Serious Sam, Doom, Quake, Team Fortress and Unreal Tournament didn't have stories nor were they always based on providing "gorgeous graphics". They were just straight-up fun games.

Obviously written by a new-school gamer who doesn't have a lot of FPS history under his belt.

solid shooting and movement

I feel like every FPS should at least have feet. I just feel weird playing an FPS and looking down and seeing nothing!

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis13d ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

anast13d ago

It's worth a play through today.

I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.

Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.

Name Last Name56d ago

I mean some sequels are objectively better and you don’t need to play the whole series.

Inverno56d ago

But most of these games have a story to follow, sure you can catch up with a YouTube vid but where's the fun in that?

LucasRuinedChildhood56d ago (Edited 56d ago )

A list like this isn't telling you not to play the previous games if you want to. It's just giving you legendary games to play.

But tbh, you don't always have to force yourself to play every entry in a franchise to get to the better ones.

- The vast majority of Witcher 3 players never played the first 2 and had a great time. The first 2 games aren't in the same league.
- The GTA games are self-contained with the odd fun reference. You can easily jump into any of them.
- The Shadow Of The Colossus remake looks and controls better than the original (plus it has a 60fps option while the remaster is just 30fps). New players will enjoy it more.
- Portal 2 is a lot better than Portal 1 and takes the concept much further gameplay-wise. Storywise, Portal 1 is fairly light too. Not that you shouldn't play it but realistically ... you'd love Portal 2 whether you play it or not (at lot of Portal 2 players have never played 1).

Bioshock 1 is the only one I agree with you on simply because it's one the best games of all time and arguably better than Infinite. No other setting like Rapture.

Looking at the list, I'd recommend playing Uncharted 1 before 2 but no doubt, 2 is the legendary one you have to play.

Inverno55d ago

I get it, but that's just my opinion on his opinion. I just think that before you play a sequel you should still play what came before it. Maybe it's just me but i find it fascinating playing through the first game in a series and seeing how it has evolved through its sequels. Like I said I don't disagree with the list, other than SoTC which I strongly believe the remaster of the original should be played above the remake.

AuraAbjure55d ago

Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.
