So with this gen coming to an end what were the top multiplayer fps on CONSOLES?

Id say halo series, cod series, battlefield series and somewhat killzone and medal of honor seemed to succeed. What multiplayer fps games do you think were most played this gen?

CS:GO is basically a re-release of a last generation game, but there's still no online fps i'd rather play. the mortality of the characters and the penalties for death make the pacing just right. the wide range of weapons are all carefully balanced. the staple maps are open enough to make them near infinitely replayable.

No, make me. You stop posting.  

 

Your FPS and TPS have ruined modern gaming. I am sick of it, and I want turn based JRPGs back, and RPGs in general. Nothing special about shooters.

Yeah, no. RPGs have always been at the forefront of gaming and are still super popular, just not turn based JRPGs anymore. 

 

Know what, I just tried a shooter yesterday since it was free with PS+. Spec Ops The Line - linear and meh story like the rest of the shooters. No puzzles no exploration, linear, WHY ALWAYS THIS SAME EXACT FORMULA??????????????? WHY NOT SOMETHING DIFFERENT FOR A CHANGE?????!!! WHY THEY ALL THE SAME???! You flood the industry with these things and then you don't even try to add any depth/substance and extra stuff in them. You just put in a 4 hour campaign and multiplayer and think it's enough and expect it to sell, which they do not always do. I mean, FPS were much better in the 90s since they actually had stuff in them other than pewpew.

Yeah there's definitely been some great FPS games this gen. Halo, CoD, and Killzone were probably my top 3 franchises. Also loved Crysis 2 and enjoyed Singularity.

Spec Ops: The Line actually uses the linearity of the game, along with other shooter conventions, to create a meta-like scenario where a gamer indulges in a high body count while gradually coming to a darker realization as to who and what they have become in a virtual theatre of war. While the gameplay is not overtly special, the manner in which that gameplay is delivered is incredibly unique.

Clearly, the point of this particular shooter flew right over your head, but I do appreciate the irony of somebody whining incessantly about generic shooters yet deriding this particular game considering that it is anything but a typical military shooter.

As to your personal fatigue, who really cares? I'm sick of shooters as well but I also find turn-based RPG's dishwater-dull and regardless, the proliferation of the former has nothing to do with the decline of the latter.

There have been plenty of quality FPS, most recently Far Cry 3, so again, your baseless, illogical generalizations fail miserably.  

Don't you tire of being wrong?

I'm having an extremely difficult time believing that you actually played Spec Ops: The Line. Since that game was entirely about story, emotion and the creators didn't even want a multiplayer option in it.

Contrary to popular belief, there are still plenty of genres that are going strong, especially ol school RPG's. Get a DS and you'll see what I mean.

Sali217

Based on what I know of his modus operandi I'd venture to say he didn't play much of it, even assuming he actually downloaded it from PS+.

This fellow is all emotion and reaction without any analysis or logic.

To be fair, it takes a couple hours for the story in Spec Ops to start hitting hard. That said, the guy you're arguing with has demonstrated himself to be incapable of rational thought, so it's not surprising he's already resorted to dismissing the entire game as bad.

Person plays Spec Ops: The Line and complains about the genre not doing anything different. Lawl.

Anyway, I'd say Team Fortress 2 is a standout this gen. I also like Hard Reset, as far as an old-school throwback goes.

If we're really gonna stretch the definition of an FPS, then I'd give a vote to Dishonored.

I would go with Bioshock, but I might pick Fallout 3 if I considered it to be a more pure FPS.

Don't you tire of being wrong?

I just beat Spec Ops: The Line and the experience was a memorable one. The contrasts between such beautiful environments and the hellish destruction, the harsh desert landscape, the music, the shocking horrors, the blurry morality, it was an engrossing ride and I played it all in one sitting.

 

If the gameplay was a bit more polished, didn't have the occasional non-responsive controls and actually gave you choices it would have been a game for the ages, but despite those few flaws it was still a pretty good game overall.
