Need "untubed" FPS suggestions (old or new)

[Grumbs]

Darkfall Online (Unholy Wars).

+ Kind of an MMO FPS with full player looting, big open world, crafting, player cities, player housing, player trading, dungeons etc.
+ Fast paced pvp with different play styles
+ 3 stats to manage during combat, different abilities to perform based on your situation
+ Greek?

- Pretty shitty grind (180 kill quests to level up etc). Takes no lifing to a new level although its not as bad as the first game
- unreliable/unprofessional dev team
- Questionable design choices
- Monthly fee
- Can be very boring when not pvping/lots of downtime

Metro: Last Light

if this is with Arthyom then play this one, I love the setting personally.

Why do you people keep mentioning Metro: LL? It is a decent FPS, but it is completely linear, with no open-ness whatsoever...

So, let's see what you people know about games. I want something like an FPS.. BUT! not a tubed/linear level design. Which means there should be no strict level design. Having RPG elements would be a bonus. Also, I'm interested in singleplayer / PC only.

Sounds like you would like S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

Edit: it has already been mentioned a couple of times, upvoted accordingly

Oh, remembered another one: Mercenaries 2: World in Flames. It is a third person shooter, but it is completely open-ended. Dunno about the first game, that one is not for the PC.

Oh my, never heard of that - how the hell did they ruin this perfect franchise...

Beats me. I played all Commandos including Strike Force, just as I was getting into it I encountered a bug on some mission and I was unable to complete it......that was the last I've ever played Commandos. 
Also played all Desperados games plus Robin Hood (the one similar to these games). Good times when I was able to enjoy single player games.

open world + fps + rpg elements in random order :

1) Fallout 3 + ton of mods (most enjoyable for me)
2) Borderlands 2 + DLCs + played coop cause singleplayer sucks a bit and you can't laugh at stupid things in ts.
3) S.T.A.L.K.E.R SoC/CoP (sometimes you could get frustrated and rage uninstall)
4) Mafia 1/2 (better the first)
5) The Precursors (it's an all-in-one game with rpg/rts/fps/space sim)
6) Saint's Row The Third (if you wanna laugh without drugs/alchool) - preferably in co-op

Operation Flashpoint

This is all you need, it has tons of user made total conversion mods and missions, pretty much every war/conflict is covered by the modders, endless stuff to play with.

And if rpg elements are your thing, try this survival mission http://www.ofpec.com/missions_depot/index.php?action=details&id=5
It has voice acting and the guy spend many years on it, wayyy much better than the campaigns.

That game is the shit, played the frist one on ps2 and it was equally awesome, sad that there will never be a third game

Maybe the upcoming Splinter Cell Blacklist could be of interest. Not really a FPS, I know, it's back to the roots finally and way more stealthy than the last 2...

Pre-ordered it because I have very hopes for this one and the reviews of the console versions proof me right for now. Way morelike part 1 to 3... Gonna be awesome

Borderlands 1 is much more an FPS than Borderlands 2, which although it has FPS finish, is based around equipment, builds, skills and damage types. For example, Mass Effect (the first one anyway) always seemed closer to an FPS than a RPG during combats, because guns actually behave like guns more or less, and because most things you encounter die quickly enough for aiming skill to matter.

Much of the old FPS games out there remained very good (actually in many ways vastly superior to the best single player shooters of the last decade) and with playable graphics but few were not linear.


Anyway what's the point of non-linearity in a FPS besides scenario quality ? To me the point is shooting things :s

I also recommend Sleeping Dogs but it's really not an FPS at all. You'll be using guns about 1% of the time because it's Hong Kong, not the USA. Hand to hand combat is nice but has AC guard mob syndrome. Finally the worst vehicule handling of any GTA-like I played (considering I played L.A. Noire which has horrible driving, I'm not saying this lightly).

once again,

S.T.A.L.K.E.R


and evern though its rather linear, the Shadow warrior reboot is gonna wreck all the anus

Why do you people keep mentioning Metro: LL? It is a decent FPS, but it is completely linear, with no open-ness whatsoever...

Because that game deserves all the praise and much more
