gaming What is your favourite shooter that has aged well?

[Handsome Changeling 1,851]

Well just as the question asked, what is your favourite old shooter, it could be a game from a PS2 or an N64 it doesn't matter what console just as long as it is not new.

 

Me personally I loved Timesplitters and still play it to this day because it is just so much fun and there is so much to do in it. I would just like to know what people played in there childhood and I played this for years.

I still have a working, original Xbox at home. From time to time, I will play Halo 2, just because it has survived fairly well timewise.

[Pinkamena-Pills 6,839]

Halo C.E./2/3. They are still playable and still very enjoyable. 

[WireBound 125]

My favorite has to be the original Star Fox for SNES. It's not a first person shooter, but it is indeed a shooter.

Friggin' DOOM. Most awesome shooter of all time. Screw Halo.

[rarity1 461]

Serious Sam games, just straight up killing.

[Megas 27,653]

Medal of Honor Frontlines and Metroid Prime

[xX_PinkDragon_Xx 417]

These shooters are my favorites.

[Blue The Pikachu 537]

Doom, Wolfenstein, Halo, and COD, even if the later COD games are going downhill...

[Magical Anarchy 177]

CAAL O' DOODY!

 

 

......

 

Probably the Halo series because it started out well, and gradually became better. Doom is a good shooter too, but Doom 3 was pretty bad.

 

Wolfenstein is a great shooter too. Wolfenstein 3D was awesome, and the new Wolfenstein was great as well.

Halo:CE has aged incredibly well, a lot better than others like Half-Life 1 and Goldeneye. Not saying those two games are bad of course, just that they haven't aged very well at all, especially HL (Good god, the platforming). I would also say Doom, but after playing Brutal Doom I don't think I'll ever be able to pick up the original again. 

 

I'd also say that perfect Dark has aged fairly well, in comparison to Goldeneye at least. Little things like easier access to equipment/gadgets, better guidance towards objectives, voice acting, and actual reload sequences make it feel a lot less archaic.

Metroid Prime. Loved it back then and I still love it today. It's a timeless classic to the Nintendo GameCube/Wii.

[Mars Caramel 319]

No one is saying the Ratchet & Clank games...?

 

I've only played and finished Ratchet & Clank 3/Up Your Arsenal and Ratchet Deadlocked/Gladiator, but there is just a lot of replay value in those games. I really want to try the previous games now.

Guess what I'm about to say... (Hint: The answer is DOOM.) I mean, a lot of you should know what I'll say... It's...

DAIKATANA!!!

...

No, it's DOOM. 

[Harpuia 68]

I hate to be "That Guy", but Metroid Prime isn't a shooter. 

[SilverStarApple 849]

Fallout. Fallout is awesome.

 

The original four Ratchet And Clank games are also awesome, but I don't have any beyond those and Size Matters.

[remove p l e a s e ? 800]

I hate to be "That Guy", but Metroid Prime isn't a shooter. 

I'd call it a first-person-adventure game.

(Also, you're not that officially guy until you fool me three times.)

Those are more action platformers to me than true shooters, BUT they are still great games; of course

 

As for shooters, I would say Disruptor. Insomniac's first foray into gaming. <3

[Brokenwings 85]

Red Faction for the PS2 <3

[SkyDream 315]

One more vote for Doom. With mods like Brutal Doom and Aeons of Death, and so very many people making homemade maps for it, it's really hard to put it down.

Of course it is, you run around and shoot things in first person 

[Gone Airbourne 21,977]

Perfect Dark & Goldeneye  on n64 yeah those games kickass

[Harpuia 68]

Of course it is, you run around and shoot things in first person 

Well, even if you're trying to simplify it down to it's core gameplay that's not gonna work. If you just ran around and shot things in Metroid Prime you wouldn't make any progress in it. You could probably go through most of the game (besides boss fights and certain encounters) without firing a shot besides for opening doors.

To all those who said Halo, I wish to hug you right now..............b/c IMO that is my favorite, and i should include Wolfenstein
