I never knew a FPS could have a good plot and characters.

You clearly ignored Irrational Games. SS2 and Bioshock are great. Review say that Bio2 is better than the first gameplay and narrative wise.

Considering it's basically System Shock 2 with a paintjob and somewhat mainstreamed I would have to argue that your opinion is wrong, nevertheless it's yours. A game practically free of bugs and had a story that without spoiling it for those who haven't played made an impact. It didn't drag and felt like work and it didn't have the frustration and buggs you'd get from STALKER for instance.

[QUOTE="jg4xchamp"][QUOTE="WAIW"][QUOTE="jg4xchamp"] :lol: No, just no

Why?

-poor gunplay -Nathan Hale is easily the lamest protagonist of all time -rather generic game design overall from top to bottom. From gunplay, to its pacing, to the level design, to the narrative -Horrible boss fights The entire series has been saved entirely by Multiplayer for me. From a SP standpoint so many shooters do a superior job overall.

Those are all the reasons I didn't really like Bioshock that much. Aside from the multiplayer, of course.

[QUOTE="jg4xchamp"] that and lol at unique. leviathan was anything but unique. You throw rockets into his mouth, he chucks you, you drop a bridge on him Deadalus was pure fail, the bug swarm was lame, the kracken was repetitive, the t-rex was eh. That game was how to make a generic shooter 101, the weapons are ok, but Unreal and so many shooters had more unique weapons. Hell Inosmniacs very own Ratchet and Clank has more creative weapons. Resistance 1 and 2 are bloody boring when it comes to single player.

As a pretty big fan of the Resistance franchise, I can certainly admit it's faults. I can see how people would call the franchise generic, mainly the second one. The first one was pretty well done from the narrative, the atmosphere, the gameplay, etc. Considering it was a launch title, I think it was a very solid game and still one of my favorites of this generation... As for Resistance 2, the online was great, but the campaign was a step down from the original. The game didnt feel set in the WW2 era, Insomniac strayed too far from the original's narrative and feel, and the bosses (while visually fantastic in most cases) were more show than gameplay. I really get the same feeling playing R2 as I did playing GeOW2... I felt like the devs felt under pressure when making the game. I used to say R2 was better than R1, but more than a year later, I changed my mind. I hope the next one goes back to the franchise's roots... and introduce some more interesting characters, make Nathan Hale (if he's in the next game) interesting, and get rid of the stupid swarm, a "head" Chimera like Daedalus, and stop making so many new Chimera.

Only knock I can say about Bioshock is the gunplay felt weak and the game got repetitive. Amazing game though, the twist at the end... I never saw it coming!

Out of all the FPSs I played this gen, the only ones with singleplayer modes I thought were even good were Metroid Prime 3, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Cryostasis, Crysis, Killzone 2, and BioShock. Out of those, Cryostasis is the only one with a story that was even slightly enjoyable. So, Cryostasis.

Bioshock

and F.E.A.R. - This game had a far deeper story than I think most people realize, I thought it was great.

Gunplay and level design were quite generic, yes. The pacing was good and the narrative was OK for most of the game, though.

i agree, Biohock. In my opinion it has the best plot of any game I've played in general. Plus its got an awesome, well delivered twist.

Half-Life for the plot, characters, atmosphere and basically everything.

Modern Warfare series for the tenseness of the campaign. It's really like a blockbuster military action thriller.

COD4 for me. It was my first CoD, and the SP felt so smooth and action packed.

Not sure what you count as this gen but I say either FEAR (2005 wasn't it?),COD4 or Crysis. I did like Stalker however I got a bit bored with it after I finished it and couldn't really be bothered playing it again.

Story wise? Bioshock no contest. HL2 is great single player story but it isn't as deep as Bioshock.
