These videos are quite different but fun! If this one gets enough views I'll make a WORST fps game of all time tournament so share the video around! Here's the tier list maker if you want to rank your own top 50: tiermaker.com/create/best-fps-games-of-all-time-16914101 I ranked all these on stream, follow my twitch if you want to hang out in the future! www.twitch.tv/jarek4gamingdragon
If you do a worst fps tournament I nominate Clive Barker's Jericho and Conflict: Denied Ops.These are the worst ones I played personally (and I played Aliens: Colonial Marines).
Put in those lists Ethic Cleansing, Shadow Ops razor Unit, Elite Force Navy Seals, Turok (2008), Duke Nukem Forever, Call of Juarez the Carte,l Sniper Ghost Warrior 2 , Navy Seals Weapons of Mass destruction, Haze, Walking Dead Survival Insticts, Painkiller Redemption , Resurection ans Recurring Evil, , Wolfschanze, City Interactive titles, Specnaz 2, Daikatana, Conspiracy Weapons of mass destruction (2005), Hour of Victory, Sas Anti Terror force (2005), The Regiment aka Terror Strike (2006), Pariah, Unreal 2, Men of Valor, Land of the dead road to fidlers green, Terra wars NY invasion, WW2 Combat Iwo Jima, WW2 Combat Normandy, Terminator 3 War of the machines, WW2 Soldier... And find 30 more bad fps games.
Half life 2 got let off easy, we all know if Haze wasn't disqualified from all competition back in 2008 for nectar "abuse", this tournament would have been a massacre.
He briefly mentioned in his tier list video that he never really got into S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and said he preferred games where he can just shoot stuff or something like that. So if he were to make a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. video, it probably wouldn't be as positive of a review as one might think it would be.
@@xennyx6020 That kind of conflicts with what he said about Zone Patrol in his ADACA review, even stating that the majority of his time spent playing the game was in Zone Patrol, which is just straight up STALKER
I’m honestly kind of surprised that so many people are even aware of STALKER’s existence despite the hype for STALKER 2. I love STALKER to death but it’s also somewhat niche that practically gave birth to the sandbox survival sim
@@bronzin1445 Not to mention that it has a rich development history. And by "rich" I mean "6-year-development-hell to the point where the publisher had to send a man to reign them in" kind of ordeal.
@@wallcreeper5327 and that's not even getting into the shit that happened after the stalker games were done where the CEO just took the money and fucked off.
HL1 just had better pacing enemy and level variation and just ticks every box. HL2 barely reached the same standard and I think that’s why we never got a HL3.
@@isaakfaulk8067 we nvr got HL3 cause Valve has too much pride and tried too hard to “revolutionize”. When in reality Portal already served that role and most of us would have been fine with HL3 being more the same as 2 mechanically, just give us new locations and a good story
@@tweezersalad4075 I agree I would have been completely fine with something similar to the first or second game but that’s the issue these devs think they have to reinvent the wheel every new game and they just fall apart instead of doing small incremental improvements.

@@JarekthegamingdragonI know that you've never said anything negative about Stalker franchise, but seeing some of your video references to Stalker and not a single dedicated review video about Stalker is kinda weird. I hope you review Stalker franchise sometime in the future. Thanks for responding.

You can definitely feel the demographics in the votes. PC gamers probably pushed for half life and stalker while xbox players most likely went with halo and bioshock. Im curious about where people first played Titanfall 2 and Metro on
It was a great tournament! I personally prefer S.T.A.L.K.E.R. over the other shooters, even if the shooting itself was a tad jankier. The rest of the game really made up for it, especially in atmosphere, location, setting & story. But I'm def not "offended" it didn't win.

STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl with the Zone Reclamation Fan Patch (Vanilla friendly, it just fixes bugs) is a great experience in 2024. The game has issues and flaws. Its shooting uses a ladder system where early game weapons are unrealistic weaker than later game weapons. Its AI is very smart, far smarter than in most modern games but sometimes it breaks itself and ends up being around the level of a modern FPS (which is bad lol). It has poor animations too... But the atmosphere, the Factions, the interesting lore and world, the high concept idea of the Klondike Gold Rush happening in a post-Soviet ecological disaster area, where man fought human greed only to fail and create a beautuful hellscape... where the lonely and forsaken of the world go to escape from the law or to find the only place to accept them... it is incredible. GSC was so close to absolute greatness with just more tweaks to gunplay and fewer bugs on launch, but even vanilla ZPR SOC is just a top 5 FPS and top 1 open world FPS of all time. The only thing of its tier... are some of the STALKER Story mods. Like NLC7 for example lol. Lets hope STALKER 2 reaches at least this level.... + it is a true PCMR title. FTW.
I’ll even go as far to say the AI is on par with FEAR 1, just executed differently. Ironically, it’s best to play on “Master” difficulty as STALKER’s difficulty doesn’t work the way you normally think it does. You more or less dish out the same amount of damage as you can take regardless and the same goes for the A.I. First time playing, I basically shot myself in the foot by playing on novice which made the end game damn near impossible due to how bullet spongey the enemy ai was. I also feel like “master” difficulty was how the game was intended to be played on similar to metro’s hardcore Ranger mode. It should also be noted that the Call of Chernobyl mod (which combines SoC, Clear Skies and CoP into a singular cohesive game) is more or less how STALKER was originally suppose to be designed (apart from the Lost Alpha)
@@bronzin1445That is a myth about damage. At novice difficulty you take less damage and enemies take more. At master enemies take less damage and you take more.
@@bronzin1445 STALKER just likes to not register hits, or the recoil patterns go wild and your shots miss. Difficulty doesn't make enemies easier to kill, you are just more careful with your aim.
As a Metro fan I was kind of sad the algorithm put us up against what we were up against the top 16 but also extremely happy that we made it to the top 16 in the first place

I think I have made the most detaied list so far with no filler tbh. These are games that don't have confusing level, maze designs (Turok 1 or OG DOOM), a huge weapon arsenal, no clunky controllers (Crysis 1) and shooting that feels satisfying (Not like Darkness 1. Good story but bad gameplay) and 95% of the games on the list have a campaign were you spend at least 75% of the time shooting instead of just walking around. Though New Vegas, System Shock, Stalker, Metro and PREY 2017 are absolutely exceptional.
The sort of FPS games I enjoy peaked with Duke Nukem 3D, Blood, Shadow Warrior etc. But I could quite enjoy some later games like Half-Life and Unreal too.
Damn I love the Metro games but I never realized how much people loved them too, it felt good seeing it as far as it did! That being said I really need to play Stalker now.
I'm so happy to see that the metro series did so well in the best FPS rankings, I never hear anyone talk about the series but those are some respectable rankings
Man its so hard to choose between Half-Life and Half-Life 2. Years later I still go back to those games. Still listen to the soundtracks. Something that matched the HL soundtracks in terms of quality were the Doom soundtracks by Mick Gordon.
@@desislavastoykova1629 I love Half life, I agree that it was the better game in 98. But still, Unreal was right behind it with all of innovations to FPS. Yet, you barely see it mention anywhere. If you ask anybody who played it. They will usualy talk about AI, the music and memorable visuals. And the weapons were solid, there is reason why it didn't much changed in sequels...
these polls were the only UA-cam platform community thing I actually looked forward to seeing every day. I hope you do another bracket thing one of these days!
I really like Half-Life 2 but I really REALLY like Half-Life 1. There are some negative aspects related to HL2 that after plenty of playthroughs I came to notice more and more. Like the way enemies don't react as much to being shoot and they having an almost aimbot like behavior even when you are strafing around that really kills the fun for me. This is something that I also dislike with Black Mesa, which I assume has to do more with the Source Engine itself and how enemies are programed from the get go.
Polished movement, animations and mechanics. There is a debate over core mechanics design like the chainsaw and ammo count, however the attention to detail/care and polish on Doom Eternal just makes it better.
While Eternal’s graphics and story may be a downgrade from 2016, It improves everything else so much to the point where it blows 2016 out of the competition.
LOVE these types of videos, please do more! I am quite surprised with the outcome of this video, but hey I contributed to the outcome so I really don't know why I'm so surprised lol
Seeing Ultrakill lose to a game that isnt even that well known was the craziest moment in the tournament, I dont even like Ultrakill that much but seeing it lose so early was just shocking, I guess ultrakill isnt that popular and just had insanely loud fans
Jarek if you are doing a STALKER video, try the community patch. Zone Reclamation Project for SoC, Sky Reclamation for Clear Sky, and Pripyat Reclamation for CoP. Id say Clear Sky REALLY needs it, the others... I still recommend it HARD.
Cuz most people didn’t get to experience Fear on pc and it’s really shitty on console. Everyone ik that played Fear loves it so it’s definitely praised
I gotta admit, I'm not sure why you're surprised STALKER SoC got so far. It is a fantastically crafted game with a fantastic atmosphere and a truly desolate radiation-ravaged world with some of the most realistic gunplay and with a difficulty that forces you to think and use resources well. It ain't your son's FPS anyway. It's the precursor to the Metro series and is every bit as good (if not better) than its successors. It is legitimately one of the best FPS games out there. Also you have to consider that the original trilogy was recently rereleased and the hype for STALKER 2: Heart of Chernobyl right now is real, so that's probably helping aid its numbers as well.
It was funny to see how rarely I'd agree with the votes. Usually it's the typical cases of people putting story over gameplay, which is the opposite of what I care about, but Halo beating Doom Eternal? Everyone who voted for Halo there should be legally barred from ever having an opinion again, lol.
Nice video. I love Half-Life but I'm a bit sad Quake didn't make it very far... I'm a huge Half-life 1 fan both because of single- and multiplayer... Half-Life 1 Team Deathmatch may be my favourite multiplayer game ever
The one game i cannot understand how it didn't go further is Borderlands 2 Imo one of the best shooters and one of the most fun games i have played. Only looter shooter i like more than BL2 is Destiny 1, cause i ADORE D1
I honestly much prefer BL1. BL2 added a ton of things from dungeon crawlers I'm not really a huge fan of. It also constantly felt like enemies were just a level or so above you and super bullet spongy. You never really found a ridiculously strong weapon that you used for the next 10 levels unless you grinded a boss for a specific drop and I hate that.
@@Jarekthegamingdragon that is very fair, BL1 is just as much of a classic, even if to me it feels very clunky at times. Personally, i find the fact your guns will not last for too long unless they are a powerful unique or legendary like an Unkempt Harold or Sand Hawk adds to the charm, since you're always gonna be on the lookout for upgrades, but at the end of the day it's all personal preference and taste
What a way for it to circle back around to HL1 VS HL2 when this is an FPS channel that is a huge fan of Half Life. Somehow I always knew Half Life 2 would win
@@alm5992"Teen nostalgia" Hey grandpa, kids born in 1999 were already in their early 20s when DOOM ETERNAL came out. Also, as a 99 kid, I voted for Halo 3. Love Doom Eternal, but Halo 3's campaign is just legendary. The fact it can be played in coop adds so much for the overall experience too.
VR is still inaccessible for most people and is just too inconvenient to use for others, that's why. It's still a bit niche in the consumer sphere. I feel like adding Titanfall is cheating a little. It barely had a campaign and wasn't memorable, everybody just plays it for the MP, much like recent Black Ops games and if you don't like wall running mechanics (me) there is no huge value in the game. That and if you look at the Steam reviews, it just everybody talking about downloading the private server clint for MP. I don't feel it belongs in the list regarding the rules, it's primarily a PVP game.
VR is pretty accessible for PC gamers now a days. Just $300 for a quest and you're good to go. Hell, there's even PSVR2 for console gamers. If only microsoft would get on board. ???? Titanfall 2 has a campaign and you have *no idea* how much people love it. I do think that it is wildly over rated but it has a campaign, it absolutely fits. People weren't voting on multiplayer.
@@JarekthegamingdragonI think the main issue is that the layman gamer still views VR as a glorified peripheral and/or gimmick rather than dedicated unit despite the Meta (Oculus) Quest 2 being available for quite some time. VR is still in its infancy and we probably won’t see its true potential until the next generation with the PS6 and whatnot. That and not enough AAA support. The only two that comes to mind is Half-Life: Alyx and the upcoming Metro: VR. There’s quite a few AAA games that support VR but not they’re not necessarily VR games if that makes sense.
We've already seen the true potential of VR with games like Boneworks, Vertigo 2, Into The Radius, etc. All of those are mechanically deeper than alyx. If you're waiting on AAA to enjoy video games, you're not gonna have a good time pretty much any where in gaming right now.
Look we have to stop being surprised when the old pioneer game loses to another good game. Like wolfenstein, it does not matter what that started, people don't want to play that old stuff anymore
"people don't want to play that old stuff anymore" Doom 1&2 just being rereleased for the 20 millionth time proves that you're objectively incorrect. New is not inherently better than old. That's not how this works.
Metroid Prime is my favorite game of all time. Was rough having to watch it go against Halo 2, not just because of the sheer weight of Bungie era Halo, but because it's ALSO easily in my own top 10
As a fan of the STALKER Saga, I know the community is pretty large and dedicated. Might as well be a reason for you to make a video about the games you know...
Conduit 2 losing to Borderlands makes me so sad. Definitely the best FPS on Wii (not counting Metroid Prime 3) and one of the best shooters of that generation in general.
HL1 Solos HL2 gameplay vise NO DIFF. 🗿 Also I'd argue HL1 is more replayable, HL2 best aspect, story and physics, dries thin quickly, while gameplay will always age well, and HL1 gameplay is better so.
Sad that Halo 3 didn't win as that would be my pick for best. Can't say anything about Half-Life as I have never played them or most of the games on the list. Very disappointed that Crysis 1 also lost, that game had an insane sandbox
We owe much to HL2. Hell, Skibidi Toilet - one of the defining cornerstones of Gen Alpha - wouldn't exist without HL2, since its made almost entirely from its assets.
Wrong BS in the contest, 2 would have gone farther. On a less controversial note, I wonder how it would have played out with reshuffled start positions. Would certainly vote again if that were tried. And yes, I really like Stalker. Mainly COP, but the original already was great.
Stalker is a good game but it had a lot of bugs. The game shines today thanks to its mods, either just visuals or gameplay improvements. I’m curious to know how many people played or can play this game without any mods. Stalker has so many mods, like Doom 2, so they have a very strong “replay” and “legacy” value. I’m sure the mods influenced the votes.

Talk about an underdog story. It’s not obscure by any means but it is rather niche compared to others on the list.

Yes, we are also spoiled when it comes to shooters if you know where to dig. I think I have made the most detaied list so far with no filler tbh.
These are games that don't have confusing level, maze designs (Turok 1 or OG DOOM), a huge weapon arsenal, no clunky controllers (Crysis 1) and shooting that feels satisfying (Not like Darkness 1. Good story but bad gameplay) and 95% of the games on the list have a campaign were you spend at least 75% of the time shooting instead of just walking around. Though New Vegas, System Shock, Stalker, Metro and PREY 2017 are absolutely exceptional.
Glad this poll recognize that all CoD campaigns are dogshit.
Also it's time for that S.T.A.L.K.E.R video.
World at War and Black Ops 1 was pretty great but everything else is pretty mid at best
@@bronzin1445 Black Ops 2's campaign was good as well albeit not as good as the other 2.
The sort of FPS games I enjoy peaked with Duke Nukem 3D, Blood, Shadow Warrior etc. But I could quite enjoy some later games like Half-Life and Unreal too.
Really loved seeing these polls and voting, was a lot of fun/something to look forward to :)
Damn I love the Metro games but I never realized how much people loved them too, it felt good seeing it as far as it did!
That being said I really need to play Stalker now.
and you should buddy,and if you even grave more with stalker,try out some mod too
I'm so happy to see that the metro series did so well in the best FPS rankings, I never hear anyone talk about the series but those are some respectable rankings
Damn, Titanfall 2 was a dark Horse for a little bit in this tournament
Man its so hard to choose between Half-Life and Half-Life 2. Years later I still go back to those games. Still listen to the soundtracks. Something that matched the HL soundtracks in terms of quality were the Doom soundtracks by Mick Gordon.
What a great list and an insane turnout! Great video dude 💙
I still wonder what's so bad about Unreal, that it's so often overlooked. It's no best in genre, but still.
I think Unreal 1 is like a superior Quake 1. It is the same tier as Half Life 1 IMHO.
@@desislavastoykova1629 I love Half life, I agree that it was the better game in 98. But still, Unreal was right behind it with all of innovations to FPS. Yet, you barely see it mention anywhere. If you ask anybody who played it. They will usualy talk about AI, the music and memorable visuals. And the weapons were solid, there is reason why it didn't much changed in sequels...
Unreal was alwyas the forgotten brother to quake. Even epic games forgor about it
@@desislavastoykova1629 it was one of the "Quake killers" and it was better than Quake 2 for sure
I'm using this as a list of FPSs I missed out on
these polls were the only UA-cam platform community thing I actually looked forward to seeing every day. I hope you do another bracket thing one of these days!
I really like Half-Life 2 but I really REALLY like Half-Life 1. There are some negative aspects related to HL2 that after plenty of playthroughs I came to notice more and more. Like the way enemies don't react as much to being shoot and they having an almost aimbot like behavior even when you are strafing around that really kills the fun for me. This is something that I also dislike with Black Mesa, which I assume has to do more with the Source Engine itself and how enemies are programed from the get go.
Entropy zero 2?
Absolute banger that game, I enjoyed it as much as Half Life games honestly, what a mod that is.
Off top sort of: why is Doom Eternal better than Doom 2016?
Polished movement, animations and mechanics. There is a debate over core mechanics design like the chainsaw and ammo count, however the attention to detail/care and polish on Doom Eternal just makes it better.
It basically takes everything that made 2016 great to begin with and just overall improves upon it, which is what a sequel should do
While Eternal’s graphics and story may be a downgrade from 2016, It improves everything else so much to the point where it blows 2016 out of the competition.
I prefer 2016. I know I'm not alone, but a minority. It's got a way more interesting environment to me.
I missed out on many polls throughout the weeks, I forgot this was incoming. But oh my lord, this was insane.
Great video Jarek!
LOVE these types of videos, please do more!
I am quite surprised with the outcome of this video, but hey I contributed to the outcome so I really don't know why I'm so surprised lol
Seeing Ultrakill lose to a game that isnt even that well known was the craziest moment in the tournament, I dont even like Ultrakill that much but seeing it lose so early was just shocking, I guess ultrakill isnt that popular and just had insanely loud fans
The fans are so annoying and weird ive put the game off for years
The fans are quite literally gay furries dude
Im so glad STALKER made it so far. That's the only game I keep going back to still like 20 years later
Jarek if you are doing a STALKER video, try the community patch. Zone Reclamation Project for SoC, Sky Reclamation for Clear Sky, and Pripyat Reclamation for CoP. Id say Clear Sky REALLY needs it, the others... I still recommend it HARD.
They are vanilla experiences. Just more stable.
I was expecting HL1 vs Doom Ethernel in the end...
This was a pretty good video. How about doing a Best indie shooter tournament?
Best *insert category* game of all time is subjective.
Naaah, fam, they'd done dirty F.E.A.R.
Cuz most people didn’t get to experience Fear on pc and it’s really shitty on console. Everyone ik that played Fear loves it so it’s definitely praised
@@mikiryates6075 Fear is fun on Xbox backwards compat played a month ago, unless you’re some mega snob it runs well for console
I'm not a subscriber but I see your videos from time to time, the algorithm feeds your videos to me when it sees what mood I'm in.
I gotta admit, I'm not sure why you're surprised STALKER SoC got so far. It is a fantastically crafted game with a fantastic atmosphere and a truly desolate radiation-ravaged world with some of the most realistic gunplay and with a difficulty that forces you to think and use resources well. It ain't your son's FPS anyway. It's the precursor to the Metro series and is every bit as good (if not better) than its successors. It is legitimately one of the best FPS games out there. Also you have to consider that the original trilogy was recently rereleased and the hype for STALKER 2: Heart of Chernobyl right now is real, so that's probably helping aid its numbers as well.
It was funny to see how rarely I'd agree with the votes. Usually it's the typical cases of people putting story over gameplay, which is the opposite of what I care about, but Halo beating Doom Eternal? Everyone who voted for Halo there should be legally barred from ever having an opinion again, lol.
You should do a top FPS Weapons bracket next!
Woooooooo STALKER
I love Trepang2, STALKER, DOOM, HL1 & 2 and FC2,
Most of the options was i either played one of the games or none.
Nice video. I love Half-Life but I'm a bit sad Quake didn't make it very far... I'm a huge Half-life 1 fan both because of single- and multiplayer... Half-Life 1 Team Deathmatch may be my favourite multiplayer game ever
If I had to choose the best fps:
Oldschool: Blood
Early 3D: FEAR
Modern: Doom Eternal
Honorable mentions for TimeSplitters 2 as the best console fps.
Fear and Eternal are the most violent fps games I ever played
The one game i cannot understand how it didn't go further is Borderlands 2
Imo one of the best shooters and one of the most fun games i have played. Only looter shooter i like more than BL2 is Destiny 1, cause i ADORE D1
Jareks audience isn’t very fond of Bl tbh 😂
@@MILDMONSTER1234 i get why lmao, love his vids tho
I honestly much prefer BL1. BL2 added a ton of things from dungeon crawlers I'm not really a huge fan of. It also constantly felt like enemies were just a level or so above you and super bullet spongy. You never really found a ridiculously strong weapon that you used for the next 10 levels unless you grinded a boss for a specific drop and I hate that.
@@Jarekthegamingdragon that is very fair, BL1 is just as much of a classic, even if to me it feels very clunky at times. Personally, i find the fact your guns will not last for too long unless they are a powerful unique or legendary like an Unkempt Harold or Sand Hawk adds to the charm, since you're always gonna be on the lookout for upgrades, but at the end of the day it's all personal preference and taste
What a way for it to circle back around to HL1 VS HL2 when this is an FPS channel that is a huge fan of Half Life. Somehow I always knew Half Life 2 would win
51% win, wow
Eternal not winning shows ppl don’t care for overall quality, nostalgia and popularity carry these votes
Just like your teen nostalgia for Doom Eternal? I'm going to assume you were born in 1999? Games lost their quality years before Eternal.
@@alm5992"Teen nostalgia" Hey grandpa, kids born in 1999 were already in their early 20s when DOOM ETERNAL came out.
Also, as a 99 kid, I voted for Halo 3. Love Doom Eternal, but Halo 3's campaign is just legendary. The fact it can be played in coop adds so much for the overall experience too.
Under the mayo is that you?
I did not need to hear that Halo 3 released 17 years ago ;-;
Probably a bad time to remind everyone that the Xbox 360 will be 20 years old come next year (2005 - 2025)
VR is still inaccessible for most people and is just too inconvenient to use for others, that's why. It's still a bit niche in the consumer sphere.
I feel like adding Titanfall is cheating a little. It barely had a campaign and wasn't memorable, everybody just plays it for the MP, much like recent Black Ops games and if you don't like wall running mechanics (me) there is no huge value in the game. That and if you look at the Steam reviews, it just everybody talking about downloading the private server clint for MP. I don't feel it belongs in the list regarding the rules, it's primarily a PVP game.
VR is pretty accessible for PC gamers now a days. Just $300 for a quest and you're good to go. Hell, there's even PSVR2 for console gamers. If only microsoft would get on board.
???? Titanfall 2 has a campaign and you have *no idea* how much people love it. I do think that it is wildly over rated but it has a campaign, it absolutely fits. People weren't voting on multiplayer.
@@JarekthegamingdragonI think the main issue is that the layman gamer still views VR as a glorified peripheral and/or gimmick rather than dedicated unit despite the Meta (Oculus) Quest 2 being available for quite some time. VR is still in its infancy and we probably won’t see its true potential until the next generation with the PS6 and whatnot.
That and not enough AAA support. The only two that comes to mind is Half-Life: Alyx and the upcoming Metro: VR. There’s quite a few AAA games that support VR but not they’re not necessarily VR games if that makes sense.
We've already seen the true potential of VR with games like Boneworks, Vertigo 2, Into The Radius, etc. All of those are mechanically deeper than alyx. If you're waiting on AAA to enjoy video games, you're not gonna have a good time pretty much any where in gaming right now.
HL2 get glazed so hard like TS3 has way better weapons and hit feedback
As much as I adore Future Perfect, you could tell the temporal uplink was a diet gravity gun
STALKER SWEEEEP!!!!
I had a blast participating thanks brother
Ultrakill losing first round to the game that is not even super popular is nuts
UK fanboys don’t know about this video yet thankfully. If they did the shitstorm would be insane
Ultrakill has an insanely loud fanbase, but most of the people that played just think its good not a masterpiece of the genre
There should be Singularity in that list. For example Titanfall 2 vs Singularity
Wish you can do a review on Raising the Bar Redux in future. That is one of the best HL2 Beta if it come to life.
Look we have to stop being surprised when the old pioneer game loses to another good game. Like wolfenstein, it does not matter what that started, people don't want to play that old stuff anymore
"people don't want to play that old stuff anymore"
Doom 1&2 just being rereleased for the 20 millionth time proves that you're objectively incorrect. New is not inherently better than old. That's not how this works.
STALKER is just…so good. When i played it, and started to look at videos and forums etc. I realized…people really love STALKER
That was freaking AWESOME!!
S.T.A.L.K.E.R GAMMA mod is truly one of the best game I’ve ever played
I was hoping to see Trepang2 on here :(
Metroid Prime is my favorite game of all time. Was rough having to watch it go against Halo 2, not just because of the sheer weight of Bungie era Halo, but because it's ALSO easily in my own top 10
Honestly that was a mercy, you should see how Prime 2 sold when it came out the same time as Halo
I was there,@@chairforce0ne. I was there 3000 years ago (give or take)
@@chairforce0ne Metroid has always been niche tbh
As a fan of the STALKER Saga, I know the community is pretty large and dedicated.
Might as well be a reason for you to make a video about the games you know...
Still not played Stalker
Mandatory playing as far as I’m concerned
And I never will
Conduit 2 losing to Borderlands makes me so sad. Definitely the best FPS on Wii (not counting Metroid Prime 3) and one of the best shooters of that generation in general.
F.E.A.R Remake WHEN! :(
The first Fear was extremely violent and over the top with hardcore ai. I love the game.
I accidentally clicked the notification; no regrets.
So, the next one's gonna be the best Multiplayer FPS?
I get the feeling that it will be between Halo 3 MP and MW2 (2009).
@@bronzin1445 don't forget about legendary left 4 dead
Counterstrike.
HL1 Solos HL2 gameplay vise NO DIFF. 🗿
Also I'd argue HL1 is more replayable, HL2 best aspect, story and physics, dries thin quickly, while gameplay will always age well, and HL1 gameplay is better so.
Sad that Halo 3 didn't win as that would be my pick for best. Can't say anything about Half-Life as I have never played them or most of the games on the list. Very disappointed that Crysis 1 also lost, that game had an insane sandbox
As for halo 3 vs Metro Exodus, I’d have to say that’s pretty fair considering Exodus is more exploring that shooting.
Perfect Dark left the chat
We owe much to HL2. Hell, Skibidi Toilet - one of the defining cornerstones of Gen Alpha - wouldn't exist without HL2, since its made almost entirely from its assets.
Wrong BS in the contest, 2 would have gone farther.
On a less controversial note, I wonder how it would have played out with reshuffled start positions. Would certainly vote again if that were tried.
And yes, I really like Stalker. Mainly COP, but the original already was great.
Third Person Shooters Next
I really thought HL1 was going to take it, but the sequel can hold the title.
Do not underestimate the power of the Cheeki Breeki my dragon friend
My personal favorite FPS is the original Perfect Dark.
All this voting, just to decide which Half-Life game is better 😂
Stalker is a good game but it had a lot of bugs. The game shines today thanks to its mods, either just visuals or gameplay improvements. I’m curious to know how many people played or can play this game without any mods. Stalker has so many mods, like Doom 2, so they have a very strong “replay” and “legacy” value. I’m sure the mods influenced the votes.
Playing it rn for the first time vanilla no bugs yet but only a few hours in
