like every Monday the market research firm Chart-track and UKIE released the weekly sales statistics for the British market. Last week saw the release of the Xbox 360 version of Titanfall and of LEGO The Hobbit.
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.
This is why reading is so important. Nothing to do with digital or physical media. The game, which is online only, is being delisted because of DDOS and other hacker attacks. The case got so bad that only six players in the world log on. For PC. Rather than fix it, they continued to sell the game, broken as it is, and only now just decided to call it quits. But please, go on thinking what you will.
I'm aware of the DDOS attacks and that this case is not typical. This game would eventually have it's servers shutdown regardless of the current situation so that is a moot point. My comment was in a general sense and that there are instances in which games can be preserved physically when official support ends.
Let's recap your first sentence. I said, "the way GAMES are going these days" indicating a broader stroke than just this game. I agree, reading IS important. I was simply stating the obvious downsides of the digital marketplaces and online only trends in games these days. I could even make the argument that the online only offering which has allowed hacker manipulation has impacted the preservation of this great game. My comment is valid in the general sense and thank you for your permission to continue to think what I will.
Good to see South Park doing well.
Had to get that game on PC since it skipped the current gen.
The wait was worth it.
Great game, very well deserved, not many shooters are as smooth as Titanfall, especially the online component, one of the best multiplayer shooters in awhile,
really enjoying it on Xbox One
Wow the X360 version did really well given that it's hardly advertised. Not surprising to see XB1 TF keep it's spot given price cuts/offers that have been.
Minecraft has some ridiculous legs.... The game just prints out money. MS/Notch will be happy.
I:SS dropped quite a bit.
Will be interesting to see where Kinect sports rivals is next week.
Edit -
@DeathOfTheFanBoy
In public domain hardly. Considering it hasn't gotten that many full reviews or mainstream advertising as the XB1 verison did.
@Septic
It's truly crazy. I know the install base for X360 here in the uk is huge but for minecraft to be charting in the top 10 repeatedly like it has done is mad. I mean who is buying it? parents for their kids?
Infamous now down from 6th to 13th, and ESO from 2nd to 19th.
Those drops offs.
That TitanRise.
