Incline Games with great combat

[PorkyThePaladin]

What's the point of comparing a frantic top down shooter like Hotline Miami to any turn-based RPG or even any ARPG? List Pac-Man or Asteroids while you're at it.

Because this is not a thread about any specific type of combat. It is about ALL great combat.

Why do you then list a several iterations of the same game and leave numerous other games out altogether?

Because as shocking as it may sound, I, the famous Porkman, am not perfect. Also, when I started this poll, I didn't know that there was a limit on total poll choices, so I thought I would just keep on keeping on adding new options as various butthurt Codexers chimed in. I blame this entirely on King Crispy, as being a Codex mod he should've clearly educated me on this.

I'm shocked and disappointed, but your reasoning as to who's the real culprit is convincing.

HELP ME, MODERATORS!

PoE endgame is the craziest shit ever hands down not even a contest. Also not enough RAGE.

Space invaders.

Easy: Jedi Academy with the MBII mod. Gotta love it.
Open is varied as shit (also getting helped by the fact that you hardly ever know what the other player specced into with his points). If you add spin it gets even more spicy.

(Nobody serious plays this in 1st person, from the saber fights it seems he did not either but used a demo replay here)








"We need heavy weapons!" (Sillyness apparently without the usual teamkill punishment system?)


Airships: Conquer the Skies can also be nice.

Erm, Operation Flashpoint is all about the combat ...
Yes, the poll is useless.

... why did you think I had to split polls into two threads whenever I wanted to make a poll with 200 options?

That was before the DLC that adds buffing medals and captains with buffs and abilities.
Also before direct ship control and fights with CoOp became an option I'd think.

Regarding planes: There's also rocket planes which kick ass.
