Gen is almost over and Vanquish is still the best TPS

[QUOTE="Vaasman"]

Sorry but Vanquish is only good in it's absolute core gameplay. It's short as hell, repetitive, has lame weapons, has no multiplayer, and features lousy music, art, and story elements, even by the low standards of the TPS genre.

Gears 3 creams it in almost every way.

vanquish was good, but max payne is really great outside of the horrible cutscene interferences

Vanquish was a piece of shit. There is a reason it ended up in bargain bins in less than a month. That is what it deserved. A $20 turd ball.

Truthfully, I only played the demo for Vanquish a few years ago and hated it. PlayStation Plus offered it for free though so I'm considering giving it another try.

No, that honor goes to Max Payne 3.

:lol: The poor mans champ loses again :lol:

Never played it but Max Payne 3 had incredible shooting. It felt so damn good

I think I'd say Max Payne 3 has it beat but it is a good contender along with the gears series.

I didnt really like Max Payne 3 that much. I dunno what it was. Its like everything was technically fine, the movement was smooth, the shooting felt great, but it just lacked...something. It didnt have the same charm of the older games imo, and I was sort of sad that we didnt have a Mona Sax counterpart this time around. I liked Max's interactions with Mona, the woman he loves but at the same time isnt sure he can completely trust. And I loved the dynamic of him loving 2 women at once (his dead wife and Mona).

Also, I felt the color it was ok, cause u know, you're in brazil, but i missed the darker gloomy nature of the past games, and I wasnt a fan of the cinematography, with all the blurred scanlines and color diffusion. I understand why it was there and it made complete sense to add it, but I just felt it was a bit overbearing. Last but not least, the story was boring and the villains even more so. I think the reason I didnt click with this one was because the story wasnt about Max. It was some one else story, and Max just happened to be a part of it. In the other games, it all revolved around Max Payne and his mythos. This game it was your typical conspiracy theory that just happened to star Max Payne. It could have been any other person.

Oh yeah, it needed more comic book panels and less animated cutscenes :P

YES. Agreed

Defo Vanquish! Max Payne 3 was ok but for me Vanquish was more fun and great for speed runs and overall action. 

I liked Vanquish, but Gears, Uncharted 2, and Mass Effect 2 are all better. Just off the top of my head.

It's one of the most fun I've played for a long, long time. However "best" might be a bit too much. For all the things the gameplay did right, there things were the game just didn't live up in any way or shape.

Yup, easily.

Uncharted 2 & 3 should get that honor along with Gears Of War 3.

I know what you're saying, the game definitely pulled off some bold changes, some worked, some didn't, and ultimately, not all the fans will be happy. I also agree how the story pales in comparison with other Max Payne games, though I do think there was enough of the original dark atmosphere left, plenty of dark levels, including those two excellent New York missions.

However, the biggest reason why I love MP3 so much and consider it the best TPS this gen is because of the combat. The gunplay is almost perfect, it has everything, the sense of weight, gore, awesome body physics, tight controls, good use of slow motion, etc. Simply no TPS managed to match it (Gears came close, though), and I'm also very happy R* is including MP3 combat system into GTA V. That'll be a blast!

I'm gonna go with tlou even tho there was not that much shooting becuase the overall gameplay was solid as ****

Best TPS in my opinion was Gears series and Mass Effect series.

Vanquish wasn't that good, it played too much like an arcade game, I didn't like the super-quick pace and Japanese style.

See? I have opinions too :)

Yep

Even after all these years, Gears is still the best reason to own a 360.

Or you know, we really like fast and adrenaline pumping gameplay. Going back to something like Gears feels slow as molasses.

Vanquish was full of stereotypical dialogue, it was hard to ignore to the point I had to shut the game off.

Vaasman

Totally disagree with that. The disc launcher and homing laser rifle thingy and the gun that shoots energy through walls thing are way more original and fun to use than any weapon in Gears. And the enemies in Vanquish = way crazier and far more agressive. Did you even play it on the higher difficulties?

it's a very fun game if you get into it ... but it's super hard on higher difficulties, not worth the trouble/
