Recommend a 'fun' FPS

[A horse of course]

Latest iteration of the Wolfenstein is supposed to be good fun wielding double assault rifles, fighting super-soldier nazis and mech-Hitlers.

It is, to an extent. But it also has some lengthy sections of cutscenes or wandering around doing virtually nothing.

 

[Excidium II]

NUDOOM is way better than NUWOLF.

 

[Maggot]

Have you played Blood? Unreal? Check out the Deathwish map pack for Blood if you haven't. Gotta play custom maps of old games for more oldschool goodness instead of looking for it in modern FPS.

Duke Nukem 3D
Outlaws

 

[:Flash:]

I am not a big FPS fan, the only ones I played from start to finish are NOLF, Outlaws and XIII. If you enjoyed NOLF (and haven't played it yet) I'd recommend XIII, they're somewhat similar. If you enjoyed Dark Forces, Outlaws is the obvious choice (Dark Forces in the Wild West).

I don't see Dark Forces II Jedi Knight mentioned.

You mentioned Supreme Commando, so how about Dark Forces 1 & 2?

Bruh?

And the texture/resolution mods are still out there. They might be ripped from Jedi Outcast but whatever. The force stuff made the game better imo.

Sorry, don't know why I didn't noticed that. Then...

-Dark Forces

FEAR is FUN

I forgot this. It has it moments at least.

I have very similair problem right now. And with multiplayer out of the window, it narrows our options even further. There is only so many times you can replay Serious Sam. There is that new Shadow Warrior, but I haven't played it so I cant reccomend it.
Maybe try XIII, it aged pretty well but has these ultra annoying stealth sections. But its one of the best pixel-shade games out there.
Bet on Soldier was pretty cool with you and enemies shredding armour pieces off eachother, a battle of atrition basically. Its also a pretty good game overall.
Red Faction Guerilla is pure destruction michael bay simulator, fun for couple of hours but I can bet you'll grow bored of the formula before you finish it.
Prey starts good and imaginative, but turns into stupid doom 3 clone with boring puzzles.

Lots of good suggestions so far. Sadly I've already played most of them. Too bad there aren't any new ones to consider. Will give Juarez a go.

Every recommendation thread ever

 

[Irenaeus]

Doom 3

 

[Maggot]

Since you've played all the classic FPS games I would recommend checking out Doom 64 EX, Powerslave EX, and Turok EX.

 

[Quatlo]

You could also play Trespasser, its "fun" as fuck :D

 

[sullynathan]

I would recommend Rainbow Six Siege but I don't know if you want multiplayer fps.

SUPERHOT

 

[Durwyn]

I had fun with quake 4

 

[Muty]

Arma 3

[Axe Father]

Hey, if you like Monolith games try Shogo: Mobile Armor Division. There's nothing really special about it in terms of FPS design, it's pretty standard stuff, but it has lots of personality like other Monolith shooters at the time. Haven't played it since around '03 or so, but I remember thinking it was pretty entertaining. It isn't amazing by any means, but it's hard to hate because it's clear they had a good time making it. Main character is the good sort of cocky bastard, too. I still say some of his lines, lol.

It's 2.39 USD on GOG right now because of the sale.

What do you mean by "fun" ?

Are you referring to the gameplay of the theme ?

 

[catfood]

Just install some maps for Duke 3D or Quake or something.

play Marathon
https://alephone.lhowon.org/

cool guns, cool enemies, cool gameplay, Total Carnage difficulty for the REal Vidmasters
great story for the Storyfriends *(you can skip if you are illaterate)
play marathon original pheonix after the trilogy, it's seriously underrated

 

[octavius]

I got serious seasickness from the modern PC port of Marathon. But I really enjoyed the remake that was made using the ultrasmooth Unreal Tournament.

 

[Gregz]

Far Cry

It's by far the most fun SP FPS, I replay it annually.

there exists a script which expands the FoV and really helps with motion sickness

 

[oddech_wymarlych_swiatow]

Out of modern ones:

Bulletstorm
Necrovision + The Lost Company
FC3: Blood Dragon
Crysis / Warhead (but stop playing immediately after aliens appear)

These were only new fpses that are able to give fun comparble to second rate shooters from '90 .

And best underrated old fps - Last Rites (1997, Ocean Soft.)

EYE Divine Cybermancy where you have fun trying to figure out what the fuck is going on while being a big, muscular robot guy.
