Looking for a good, not too difficult, single player FPS that gets right into the action without too many story requirements, and is a lot of fun, and is not Borderlands (because I have played them all). EDIT: Forgot to mention I am looking for PS4, XBOX One X, or XBOX Series X. Thanks!

Titanfall 2 was pretty fun.
It's shorter than borderlands for sure, but it's fun.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago

Titanfall 2. Not massively long, but worth every penny. The story is engaging and satisfying, and the action is inventive and fast paced throughout.

And BT is bestest boi forever.

DOOM 2016

DOOM Eternal

Far Cry: Blood Dragoon

I hear great things about Robocop Rogue City.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago

60fps is decent unless you have a 120/144hz monitor then you should shoot for 120-144fps

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

The 2016 DOOM fits these requirements. DOOM Eternal is pretty decent, but honestly I feel like it's actually a step down from the 2016 release. They added a lot of new mechanics that you have to juggle, and a bunch of plot (euch, gross), and is overall not as good of an experience. 2016 also has a better soundtrack, IMO. BFG Division is one of the best songs ever produced, even outside of game soundtracks.

If you want something a little more unique, I could also recommend SUPERHOT.

Basically, if an FPS puts its name in all caps, it's probably gonna be a banger. Caps-locking the title of your game requires a certain amount of confidence, I feel.

I'd say the Halo MCC provided you skip all the cutscenes. Still super fucking fun games and the challenge depends on the difficulty setting

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Sadly I have played them all. Certainly not as they came out. I am definitely not that old. Definitely not.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Oh, me too, but I go back and replay them every couple years, there's still nothing quite like them. Super fun shooters but there's enough time to kill and weapon variety to make it interesting and strategic

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Damned young whippersnappers. Back in my day you get touched by an enemy and you died. Then die a few more times and you have to start the game all over again. A game save meant you hit pause, shut the TV down, and hoped it didn't freeze up while you were gone.

How about you get off my lawn!

Ghostrunner, Singularity, Dusk

I have played it. It was great! I wish it had been longer!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago
[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Dusk. Ultrakill.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Wolfenstein

Trepang² get it meow

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

EDIT: Sorry, I should have specified; Xbox Series X or PS4

Deep Rock Galactic

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Trepang² is pretty fun, kinda a mix of Crysis and FEAR

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

playing Superhot rn and its pretty great

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (2 children)

But it’s only for VR, correct?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It was originally for pancake screens so if you don't own a VR headset you can still play it. Just buy the correct version though 😁

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I’ve been looking and can’t seem to find a copy anywhere.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Also has a non vr version

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Bulletstorm for some over-the-top action. The setting and tone is similar to Borderlands but it's a classic FPS, not a loot'n'shoot.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Half life games are on sale right now. If hl1s graphics are too dated for you black mesa is a remake of the first game that is fantastic.

FEAR 1 is also goated

Shadow Warrior

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

All the "doom-clones", or boomer shooters (which I hate that title).

Some not named in the comments - Serious Sam 4, Painkiller, Blood.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

roboquest is fun (and difficult)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Far Cry 3, 4, and 5 are games I've had a lot of fun with, at least. They let you pick how you approach most of the "free-form" stuff though story missions will have you do things in specific ways.

Thanks my friend, but I am a console gamer

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I should've read the post better, sorry!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I suppose I could connect my Mac mini to my tv. Worth it?

That’s a lot of percents!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

That's exactly the right percents 🙂 Ultrakill is sooooo good.

Gunfire Reborn and Deadlink are two more quick and dirty FPS options. No idea if either are on console though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Singularity - the last good Raven Software game.

It’s like a playable B-Movie: awesome!

Nightmare Reaper

Metal Hellsinger, combines FPS and metal music and bonuses for staying on rhythm with the music.
