nice_shoes Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 But why limit yourself to FPS shooters only? There are some brilliant 3rd person shooters out there that can take weeks to play (GTA Series) & they tend to be good value for money. I played Tomb Raider Gold many years ago, I think that was a 3rd person shooter................can you give some specific titles and recommendations?

Rofltroll Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) Bioshock Edit: great game and it will run nicely on your 8800 GTS Edited April 17, 2012 by Rofltroll Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedway Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 I agree with the others with L4D/L4D2 not being a great single player game. But, it is one heck of a CoOp! Grand Theft Auto IV is an amazing game, but it was ahead of its time from a hardware aspect. Meaning, the 320MB 8800GTS would prob struggle.

viperk1 Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Have you tried Hard Reset? I've heard good things about it and totalbiscuit did a "WTF is...?" on it a while back: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercuryDoun Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Portal and Portal 2, not your typical FPS but still incredible games How about Crysis and/or Crysis 2? Compaigns are only 8-10 hours for each game. But replay ability is high because you can play through once with stealth and assassinations. Then play again as i don't give a crap and run and gun like a boss. Battlefield Bad Company, and Bad Company 2. Both great games with hilarious and good stories. Many a good single player hours.

MercuryDoun Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Not sure how well his 320MB 8800GTS will do with the Crysis titles It definitely wont play Metro 2033, i already brought that up, Metro 2033 even at low resolutions just needs more memory than that. But the 8800 should play Crysis 1 with little issue... I would say that it can't do Crysis 2 though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been awhile, but I rem my 1GB 4870 OCed struggling at 1680 x 1050 in quite a few scenes nice_shoes what res do you normally game at?

slick2500 Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) Duke Nukem 3D Quake 1 2 & 4 (3 is just a mutliplayer game kinda like Unreal Tournament) Unreal Soldier of Fortune 1 & 2 good gameplay and good story Fallout Series Just Cause 1 & 2 GTA Clone Mafia 1 & 2 GTA Clone Max Payne 1 & 2 Prey Serious Sam series if you like the kind of shooter where you just kill hordes and hordes of monsters Skyrim not really a shooter but its an amazing game and it has a huge modding community As others have mentioned Boarderlands Duke Nukem forever I personally enjoyed this game a lot even though 3D Realms wasted so much time doing nothing. My 8800GTS 512 system played Crysis at 1680x1050 at decent framerates on high settings. So with the res turned down he could easily run the game on medium.

Would try the demo first though to make sure. Crysis 1 would be a great one to try as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonerboy779 Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Played any of the STALKER series? Come on guys show some love for the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series. Especially when you add the complete mod to all of them, the game dynamics are brilliant and once the complete mod is in place they get better not to mention they all look phenomenal. Of every single game I have splayed S.T.A.L.K.E.R. COP has had the most amazing weather especially the storms with the atmosfear mod.

Prunes Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 Also one of my favorites is Hidden & Dangerous 2. Never known anyone who've tried this game. But it's really good. Rather simple WW 2 game. You can play as a single character or as a 4 man platoon. I've played through it 3 times and I still love it. Graphics are so and so, but gameplay is great.
