The third one even added a cover system.Īlso The Punisher was pretty forgettable. You even get 3 different endings (sort of).įunny you would complain about decline then list the entire Dead Space series. Yeah sure it's cover wankery and it forces some options on you (like the WP sequence), but it's a massive improvement over most PRESS F TO DO THE THING modern shooters. For instance, when you're surrounded by a mob and your buddy is shouting for you to give the order for you to start shooting, it doesn't flash up two big blue and red buttons for you to pick from, you just start shooting into the crowd (and massacre them) or into the sky (to scare them off). Plot aside, it even some half-assed C&C in there, some of which * gasp* wasn't even listed as an option. All the crude humor, great level design, fun weapons, kickass music and babe saving is still there.Ĭlick to expand.Spec Ops did at least try to be something other than the usual 'Kill darkies in the desert Go USA!' rubbish. It's just classic 'Nukem 3D style design in third person basically. Resident Evil 4 is still a well known name for mostly good reasons.įor pure gameplay greatness, I think Duke Nukem: Zero Hour holds up extremely well for an N64 shooter, considerably more so than that overrated Goldeneye mediocrity. Has a similar depressing atmosphere and story, arguably better gameplay than MP, and generally is a good game. Shits on the majority of third person games these days though.Īs for 'Third person shooters as good as MP', well, I'd say GUN, a great westerner that came onto the market just before the decline hit. Got tired of Egypt as well as same old formula of 1-3 without much innovation. Got about eight or so levels in but the lack of globe trotting of the previous games (and all the gameplay and aesthetic diversity that brings) put me off, if I recall. But what they are is good old games worth playing, and not repetitive cover shooters.Ĭouldn't get into Last Revelation. Tomb Raider 3 (These barely count, but there is behind view control TP shooting so.)įew are true classics, few at all. Modern molepoppers of the codex need not apply input. Note: 90% of these are not cover shooters and are pre-modern decline. Third person shooters I like (strictly behind view perspective of a humanoid with a focus on shooting - so no vehicular combat games for instance):
