FPS games all seem the same so...

First Person Shooters are a certain type of genre that wears out quickly. It'd be better if game developers started randomizing events and varying the gameplay each time so that you don't always shoot that guy standing next to the crate in the first level. Or that guy drunk in a watchtower.

Uh, I'm going off my rocker here, I'm out.

I've played all three games and I would have to say I found COD4 & Halo 3 campaign way more entertaining than that of Turok. I purchased both COD4 and Halo 3 just to find out that although their campaing were both top notch I didn't like the multiplayer on either so both got sold. I was going to get Turok, big fan of N64 version, but after playing through some of it at a friends house I decided it wasn't worth the money.shawn7324

Hey if ya dont mind me asking, what modes do you usually play on vegas2? If your ever up for a game send me a message, me and some friends are on Total Conquest and Team deathmatch usually. I just was reading this thread and saw on your sig that you play vegas 2 :P

i loved halo 3, hated cod4, never played turok. but i played timeshift and loved it. its hard to tell what makes a fps so good. its all prefrence.

I agree that Turok was awesome!! But COD4 is great too, both multiplayer and single.

I just don't see anything in Halo 3...

did you know no one cares here?haven79

I quite like Halo 3s online mode, it has some good games, I can play Team Objective forever.jeffdoomsday

Wow, i'm surprised no one mentioned Bioshock..

That game pretty much took FPS's to the next level with an awesome narrative, tight gameplay controls, and superb smooth graphics. It's my all time favorite FPS that was masterfully done. I own both CoD4 & Halo3 and I found the campaigne and Multiplayer to both of them to be well done. I think CoD4 has a slight edge on halo3 online. But I guess when you have developer's focusing on online/campagine, it's a bit difficult to balance things in game opposed to just focusing on a really unique single player experience. Possibly why Bioshock had no multiplayer added to it.

Turok though..I've played the demo so I can't really say much, but from what I got from the demo.. it looked like an unimaginative shooter to be honest. The combat didn't make much sense to me either, you twist and twirl around a rapor to cut it's throat with your knife while a near by raptor just watches you and waits patiently for you to finish it off?! I depict Dinosaurs as ruthless opportunistic killers.. NOT fair playing dinos that watch thier own kind die..

Though I think there is a bit of flood of FPS's in the market, but thats alright. I wasn't a big fps fan till the 360 came out, maybe because I found previous shooters boring and poorly done, except for a few of course(Half-Life, TFC, CS, Halo)

Yeah, and all RPGs are the same.

Right. No.

I get bored of FPS games much faster than any other type of game. Maybe its because I've played loads of them, but they just don't hold my attention like they used to.

I picked up COD4 because it wasn't set in WW2, and enjoyed it, but after doing the first few missions of the campaign I got bored of that and moved onto multiplayer. That was fun for a bit, but again just didn't appeal to me enough to have me coming back to it again and again. The idea of going through the Prestige levels might be fun for a lot of people, but I couldn't face going through all of that another 10 times.

Each to their own I guess.

It's probably because Turok is a bad game. I don't know, I have only played the demo...it wasn't fun in the slightest. At the end of the day, it's all opinion. A good site to compare games would be Meta Critic which gives you a good idea of the general view of each game, instead of going by forum 'advice'.Gregoroth

Turok is indeed a tiresome, plague on the FPS genre- Call of Duty, Halflife 2 and Unreal Tournament 2004 and their ilk are some of the most innovative by engine games out there, and excel in the genre because they are well made and very well balanced- games like Turok fail because the proper care isn't taken when developing it to make it to anywhere near the sort of quality or balance that the flagship FPS games have, and that's a fatal flaw.

Turok and Timeshift especially suffer from the lack-of-quality bug, as these new games plagerise and rip off the bigger games badly, and wind up coming across as not anywhere near as fun. Strangely, I think alot of the problem came from the spate of PSOne FPS games released between '96 and '00 that mostly weren't any good.....it caused a mass amount of FPS fatigue, and now the same thing is happening over again with the 360 and PC especially, and will probably happen to the WII soon as well.

Why do people give games like Call of Duty 4, Halo 3, so much praise and give other FPS games like Turok so much bashing? It just bugs me for some reason...Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4 were really only entertaining in the multiplayer. I don't know why I enjoyed the Turok campaign more than COD4 and Halo3's campaign. I know all you fanboys are going to bash me but I just wanted to know if anyone agrees with me.iwantasong

Because most people figure that all shooter games should have the quality of Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4, and alot of games do not. I have and I really like Turok and Kane and Lynch: Dead Men to me those are great games too and just as good as CoD4.

Sorry, the same Kane and Lynch that feels as though the characters have sandbags on their arms when aiming? The same Kane and Lynch where I clipped into a wall and had to restart the whole damn level? The same Kane and Lynch whose characters and plot was so contrived and wooden I could have carved a boat, marched every animal 2 by 2 and blew up the icecaps with thermite and still have room for a parking lot, conservatory and personal ranch on board?

Sorry, the very notion of Kane and lynch being called a great game eludes and annoys me. You may think it's a good game, maybe even a fun game better than most; but I refuse, nay, I outwardly reject the notion that Kane and lynch is up there with the likes of Call of Duty 4, GTA4, Fallout , Halflife 2, Gears and so on.

I'm a Dynasty Warriors fan, but calling those 'great games' would be like throwing a cricket ball at someone; it'd be funny, but also stupid and unnecessary.

There was another comment about Bioshock being a great game, and for some it is, however Bioshock is like video gaming marmite, you either love it or you hate it.

They did that in Swat 4 and i think that's one of the things that made that game so great. You could play a level several times and the enemies would always be in new places, never in the same spot. That made you be extra cautious because you never knew where the enemies would be. I think more games should do that.
