Post by **skipclarke** » 17 Aug 2006, 18:45

Read for them here & there pretty confusing :? - is there a good list ??

Criteria: Newer (Jan 2006 & on) PC FPS NON- online Game

You can also add 3rd person shooters (NON-online)

NOTE: If it is an ON-liner BUT has a decent Single player off-line mode - then it's OK

Please add any below

Got Prey - GREAT !!!

By "non-online" do you mean like, doesn't have a multiplayer componenet at all, or just, doesn't HAVE to?

If it's not at all, that is going to be one very short and tough list to make :?.

If it is an ON-liner BUT has a decent Single player mode - then it's OK :lol:

Does Oblivion count? :D

I guess for some - yes but in my case NO! :lol:

I don't like the role-playing or RTS genres.

So let's see, no online FPS, RTS or RPG? Wow... :shock:. Are there even any other genres that get even semi regular releases? :P.

RE: "So let's see, no online FPS, RTS or RPG?"

Not quite right - as I expalined.

The "online" exclusive titles (or any others) are impossibel for me as I am 2-way satelitte dependant for IP - anything else is absolutely impossible.
Therefore, my ping values of over 650 (even 1200+) :shock: preclude any realistic expectation of being able to play online.

FPS with single player is what I enjoy.

RTS & RPG are not my interest in the least.

Therefore, off-line capable first or 3rd person shooters are my interest.

Prey
-hmm - will investigate - TX

Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter
-don't like stealth (?) types, driving/flying types, sword, bow, spells or Bot mech types. :lol: :roll:

Guns war aliens - yep :lol:

Half Life 2: Episode 1
-Got it
Sin Episodes: Emergence
-Got it

Well, GRAW isn't exactly a stealth based game, so you could check it out.

And ouch on the Satellite :P.

"And ouch on the Satellite"

Better than dial up - my only alternative :evil:

After all - I don't live in T'Bay or some other modern city :lol:

Believe me, T'Bay isn't that modern :P.

I know :lol: I spent a few weeks there in 1998-99 - I take the bypass on Hwy 17 when I passed by from then on !! :lol:

You don't like giant-stompy-mecha-lasers-blood-'n'-death games? :shock: Why on earth not? ;)

Post by **skipclarke** » 19 Aug 2006, 22:30

Because they need more than 1 or 2 fingers to play... :wink: :lol:

Born with twelve thumbs & to make matters worse all the left thumbs are on the right hand & vice versa.. :shock: :lol:

*still thinks Doug should try Oblivion*

;)

I just realised - again - just how many of my games are RPGs... :shock:

RE: "*still thinks Doug should try Oblivion*

hmmmm... just took a look at that :shock:

*now thinks a nefarious plot might be afoot to 1) push me into a CrossFire (a) needed situation & 2) decrease my WSGF presence as I get lost in the vast realms of that game* :wink:

(a) & supporting MB with Dual PCI-E slots :twisted:

F.E.A.R. is pretty good, but you probably already know about it.
