Thread for Gamers: Yes, Yes, XCOM 2 is here...

Only one Timesplitters?

Get out.

[Onekawa-Nukanor]

I can't explain it. I just find that gaming first person to be something that I just do not find enjoyable, at least compared to third person.

And it isn't like I haven't tried. I've played the following titles which are from a first person perspectives, although in no particular order. I have played more than this, but most of them I can't recall their name or they didn't leave an impression.

- Borderlands 1
- Borderlands 2
- Halo: Combat Evolved
- Halo II
- Halo IV
- Halo V: Guardians
- Turok Evolution
- Call of Duty: World at War
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II
- Call of Duty: Black Ops
- Call of Duty: Black Ops II
- Battlefield: Bad Company II
- Battlefield III
- Battlefield IV
- Timesplitters: Future Perfect
- Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising
- Operation Flashpoint: Red River
- Half Life II
- Portal I
- Portal II
- Legendary
- Serious Sam (Unknown which one specifically)
- Serious Sam II
- Serious Sam BFE
- Duke Nukem Forever
- Fallout: New Vegas
- Fallout IV
- Elder Scrolls: Oblivion
- Elder Scrolls: Skyrim
- ARK: Survival Evolved
- DOOM IV
- Area 51

Games that are bonded are ones I've invest a fair amount of time and really enjoyed and could change snider myself a fan. Some of this is the result that I could played in third person, such as Fallout IV and Skyrim.

However, after looking through this list, I think I would have enjoyed nearly all of them significantly more if they took place from a third person view.

Eh, each to their own.

That is a pretty good list though. I bought Dragon Rising a while back, the random headshots were a pain in the arse.
What did you think of it?

I actually enjoyed it. But the one I play on console, the disc was all scratched up and I had technical issues with it.

[Imperializt Russia]

When I got Dragon Rising, I was either playing it at uni on a 32" HDTV, or a 32" CRT at home.
It was legitimately impossible to play at home.

Fun, once I got into it.
Been years though.

E: I don't mean Dragon Rising, I meant Red River.
I think I had Dragon before I even got the HTDV. An absolute ballache to play. But again, fun once you're into it. I liked the setting and the commitment to authenticity.
Being able to keep small-unit fights between a handle of troops tense is great. Kind of shows the failings of more Hollywood-style military shooters where you slaughter entire battalions single-handedly.

Oh, I enjoyed it too, especially dicking about in the helicopter in the first mission.
I may replay it considering how bored I am atm.
What we're your thoughts on the stealth missions?

I remember there was one about infiltrating a oil depot or something? I also had an issue with the Humvee that was suppose to arrive glitching out.

I also found it balls hard, but it's been a few years since I played it.

[Veceria]

That doesn't make much sense to me. If anything it should be the other way around due to the fact that you're experiencing things from the character's perspective in 1st person.

Try GTA V and MGS IV/V?

GTA V and MGS V are third person games (Never played IV). I actually own both, and played them extensively.

Both can be played from 1st person as well. At least partly.

Yeah, there was at least one other as well.
I'd always have the problem of dropping one enemy and another randomly knowing about it. There was also the issue of being seen just because of your proximity to the guards. I ended up actually leaving my fireteam outside and doing it mostly by myself.

The hardest moment of the game for me was when you have to defend the town with the other fireteams. For some reason the other fireteams would get killed every single time and I'd just get swarmed. It was a hell of a challenge, but fun.

Try GTA V and MGS IV/V?

MGS V might be one of the best games I've ever played, gameplay-wise. And I don't give out "best" and "favourite" titles lightly.

True, but I don't consider them first person games in the same way I'd place Overwatch, Black Ops and Halo. They still, I feel, very much are third person titles.

MGS did that superbly. One of my few quibbles with that game was a lack of bipods.

I remember that mission. I'm pretty sure the idea was that you had to fallback progressively in defending the town before you got surrounded.

I can't call an unfinished game "best" or "favorite".

But it had bipods! You just couldn't use them :^)

Oh.

Yeah, at first I was wondering if it was even possible, but then I realise the other squads would disappear. They didn't die, they actually fell back to a previous defensive line. The game tells you this, but it's really, really easy to miss.

Trust me, I was shocked as well

That makes it even worse.

And that's what I meant, Veceria.
Thw whole modding guns business was great though.

I'm going to learn modding so I can add an M108 into ARMA

I'll call it San

:>

[The Lendol Archipelago]

My fireteam and I alternate in being the worst at that game.

Is anyone 'good' at ARMA or just lucky that some random dude didn't snipe them from 400m away?

[Veceria]

That's cute.

That's cute.

Not when they charge off into battle despite the fact I GOT OUT OF THE JEEP IN ORDER TO HAVE THEM HEALED.
I end up charging over the hill and the first bullet that was shot at me just happened to be a bloody headshot.

I wasn't talking about Arma I'd just started playing Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising again..
I probably should've specified...

Is that the one where you start with a SCAR-L?

I don't know, I started using a Marksman weapon as soon as I could.
