A 9 year old random FPS game.
WTF happened to non-shooter games? I am so bored of these FPS variations.
- tyre 10mo agoPlay Hades 2!
- dmbche 10mo agoMaybe check out game awards finalists
- lysace 10mo agoI checked them out. I guess I just miss a time when Falcon 3.0 and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stunt_Island https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stunt_Island sold really well.
- ThrowawayTestr 10mo agoWe've come a long way in the past 30 years
- lysace 10mo agoYeah, 1000 variations later, the latest Doom/Quake iteration looks great.
- manytimesaway 10mo agoSumming up the entire FPS genre as Doom-like is unfair and discredits you more than anything else. Heck, even Doom and Quake are wildly different. FPS haven't been under the spotlights for a while, these days it's mostly MOBAs.
- dmbche 10mo agoI do like Dusk (and most New Blood releases) if that's what you mean
- bigyabai 10mo agoUltrakill is better than every DOOM campaign combined.
- happosai 10mo agoMiss falcon 3.0? Go with Falcon BMS. For any genre of games there is a modern remake and community these days.
- iamacyborg 10mo agoI literally discovered a completely free and open source Total Annihilation/Supreme Commander remake last month which is great for nostalgia’s sake. https://www.beyondallreason.info/ https://www.beyondallreason.info/
- xioxox 10mo agoStunt Island was pretty good. However, there are more unusual games out there with reasonable budgets, like Death Stranding, The Talos Principle, The Outer Wilds, Portal and X4:Foundations. Even games involving shooting like Control or Alan Wake 2 are driven by unusual story telling.
- Akronymus 10mo agoIMO the vidya gaem awards [0] are far superior to the game awards. [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXMcq_LJ8ro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXMcq_LJ8ro
- waffleiron 10mo agoMaybe you can give a bit of context why you feel that way? Dropping a 2+ hour, <2000 views, 4chan video without context isn’t really the type of comment HN is looking for as far as I can tell

- comrh 10mo agoWe're currently in a golden age of Indie games catering to hyper specific niches. Ignore all AAA games and you'll find absolute gems.
- bavell 10mo agoSome very fun indie games I've been playing this past year (lots of early access): - Hexarchy / Rogue hex (Civ-like) - The Last Caretaker - Captain of Industry (factorio-like, was posted here on HN by dev awhile back) - 9 kings - Super Fantasy Kingdom - Manor Lords - Astronomics - Heart of the Machine
- lysace 10mo agoThose games have 100x to 500x smaller budgets than the AAA-games. Yes, they often have cute ideas, but, like a blockbuster movie, 99 times out of 100 you need a solid budget to make a solid movie/game.

- jdironman 10mo agoI think he is saying where is the creativity in the AA+ space. Which still might be a lack of depth / breadth of search, or platform exclusive content. Not everyone can own all the consoles.
- egypturnash 10mo agoWikipedia has a list of the most expensive video games to develop, with a lower limit of $50mil. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_expensive_video_games_to_develop https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_expensive_video_g... The top of the list is Genshin Impact, although it'll probably be displaced by GTA6 soon - that one's estimated to come in at $1.5-2 million. There's multiple FPS games on there but there's some pretty expensive open-world games too.
- Hendrikto 10mo ago> $1.5-2 million You mean billion?
- phantasmish 10mo agoThis is like complaining all modern movies are superhero movies. It’s hard to think that unless you’re hardly looking at all, or have fairly narrow taste and aren’t counting most of the medium.
- cortesoft 10mo agoI play non FPS video games almost every night. There are so many great games available.
- amanaplanacanal 10mo agoYes. I tend to lean to MMOs, ARPGs, and survival/building games.
