Recommend me a PC sci-fi FPS!

[Vigormortis]

I've been waiting to scratch this itch for a while, and I can't wait for Star Citizen's FPS module to release. Any good suggestions?

For the record, by FPS I mean FPS, not third person. Already played the bajeezus out of Mass Effect.

Good suggestions?

I have many:

Half-Life series
Portal series
Doom series
Quake series
MechWarrior series
Heavy Gear series
Unreal series
Deus Ex series
Crysis series
SiN series
Borderlands series
F.E.A.R. series
Metro Series
Chronicles of Riddick series
Left 4 Dead series (bit of a stretch, but why not?)
Prey
Farcry 3: Blood Dragon
Rage
Tron 2.0
Turok 2: Seeds of Evil
Halo: CE
Hard Reset
System Shock 2


I'm sure I could list more if I thought on it, but these are just the ones that sprang to mind in the moment. Besides, I'm sure some from my list, and many not from my list, have already been listed.

Good luck and have fun, OP. In a very real sense, you're spoiled for choice in this genre.

And laughing, yes. I like the little things, like mission briefings or gun names/descriptions. Center stage jokes are more hit and miss.

Sadly true. Many of the core jokes in Borderlands 2 were so juvenile and uninspired I've yet to even finish the game. I just couldn't bring myself to play any more when I realized I was on a mission to kill countless creatures just so, for some nonsensical reason, some guy could think up names for them. Names as profound as "boner fart".

Still, the actual subtle humor injected into both games is generally fantastic. I chuckled many times while playing through the first game.

Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines counts as FPS, right?
Bloody masterpiece, that one. Though very much RPG too...

Crysis also, perhaps?


Also, nice as it is, Deus Ex: HR is not strictly FPS - I recall whole lot of third person action in it.

Prey

Great under appreciated game. Watch the trailer, and I'm thinking how can everyone not adore this game!?!?


As for topic: Living ship, aliens, portals, monsters, gravity game elements. Sci Fi first person goodness!
