I've had Fallout New Vegas for some time now and have gone through the game once. (haven't been everywhere though) and I love the game. Trying to get through Dead Money now. Ive been told that Fallout 3 is better then New Vegas. Any thought on this??
Honestly it's quite difficult... (Dead Money is brilliant btw) Fallout New Vegas had better companion systems, the faction system was great, guns felt better and everything was just a tad smoother, however I fell in love with Fallout 3s setting and places...

It's hard to pick which is better, but Fallout 3 is most definitely not to be missed.

Bulletstorm is a good game. The campaign's story is weird, and the campaign is a bit short, but the kills are so fun that you can't wait till you get another bunch of enemies to try and get that certain kill

No seriously. Go have a look at STALKER; Shadow of Chernobyl.
i have tried to play this game 3 times and each time i uninstall it after a day. i really want to like it because i know it gets good later on and i love the atmosphere. the learning curve is just really steep (and this is from someone who had no problem with demon's souls) and i have a lot of trouble getting into it

half life games
borderlands has a fun multiplayer but i played most of the game single player and loved it
system shock 2
max payne 1 and 2 arent first person but still really great shooters

its really depressing how few modern fps have a focus on multiplayer over single player. i hate online multiplayer

Farcry 2 definitely, huge, epic, awesome, beautiful. Seriously it's my favorite FPS, it's so flexible, huge in length and playing with fire is one of the funnest things ever.
I'm being Ninja'd so much today XD

OT: Considering the rest of your list, it seems to me that you may like Far Cry 2.

Well, Portal 2 was a great game that can technically be considered an FPS. I don't play many FPS so that's all I can really think of.

You've pretty much got all the best FPS experiences right there. Bioshock, Metro 2033, Portal...

Perhaps try Legendary (360)? It should be cheap now. Werewolves and a pretty sweet Bioshock-energy system with it.

Time Shift is an underrated gem in my mind. Time manipulation with an FPS. So good.

Definitely try Borderlands too. The single player is lonely but that's what I loved about the game. A huge world for ME to explore. And all the loot is for ME.

Just stay the FUCK away from Homefront. What a terrible FPS experience.

If you haven't played Mass Effect 1 and 2 then those are a must. Bulletstorm was also a lot of fun.

Crysis 2 was quite good. Much longer than your average shooter nowadays. It also wasn't overly scripted in how firefights play out. You could play how you wanted without being limited to simple cover-based combat through linear levels.

Dead Space 1 and 2. I prefer the first one.

Knights of the Old Republic

Painkiller

Fallout 3

Quake, Quake 2, Doom, Doom 2, Doom 3. Can't go wrong with the classics. Quake is still one of the best games I ever played.

The campaign for Modern Warfare is shorter than 6 hours but also packed full of awesome.

The learning curve is steep. But it is worth it. Mostly you need to play very conservatively until you get a weapon with a scope and a higher level armor. Also the decaying of weapons is very harsh so you might want to mod or allows a repair option that out if it bothers you.

yeah i never got very far, i think the strongest weapon i ever got was a pistol or maybe an smg. i got as far as some mission where i was in a parking lot and i had to defense some guy. i dont remember it very well but i always felt like how many bullets it took to kill someone was a matter of luck. its a shame because i saw videos of the gameplay later and it looks so intense and creepy

Ignore this guy, just get the first Far Cry if you liked Crysis. Far Cry 2 sucks ass. Big time. It is huge and filled with nothing, the only thing epic is the engine, awesome only in the way that the retarded decisions the devs made will awe you and... Ok, maybe it is damn beautiful.
Ignore this guy, since not only does graphics mean almost nothing next to the decent gameplay you sound like you're seeking, but also despite FC2's foibles it is a really engaging experience. I'd say it's probably the best 1st person sandbox around. Far Cry 1 is alright up until the mutants show up halfway through, then it just gets stupid.
I retract my previous statements. Far Cry 2 is sooo engaging.

Like the story, its so awesome. Its not like its a total piece of shit that some guy who watched Blood Diamond one time to many shat out. The missions are awesome too. If you think that you are going too spend the entire game killing the same dudes in identical environments, you couldnt be more wrong.
It's Africa dude, the most variety you can expect (which is still more than the same old murky samey brown environments you see all the time nowadays) are jungle, scrub, savanna, desert, oasis, grasslands, and rivers/lakes. And you know what? All of them are in the game.

But hey, get this. Haha. Imagine if the devs decided it would be a good idea too make the dudes in these identical bases that obviously dont exist spawn again and again if you so much as set a foot outside of it. Which would mean driving to do a boring mission, taking an hour of boring combat to get there, only to do it all again on your way back! Hahahahaha! Wouldnt that be stupid? Luckily, they avoided this bad design choice. Like, how dumb would you have to be.
That's less a reflection on the game and more a reflection on your inability to think outside the box. You could sneak around. You could snipe everyone first without being seen. You could take a different path. You could take a boat instead. You could just visit a different safehouse. Did I mention you could try taking a different route? I'll say it again, because for some reason It didn't seem to occur to you.

The weapons are great too. I have never seen such realism in a game! Like the AK47. Contrary to what you may have heard, the AK47 is a weapon that isnt very durable and will jam a lot. I mean, hey, it isnt like the AK47 is pretty much the durable fully automatic weapon on the planet. Some crazy nam veterans and weapon experts even claim that you can bury it for a week, pull it out, and get shooting in 5 minutes! Haha! Those crazy americans. Luckily, Far Cry 2 sees through this conspiracy to sell everyone AKs and rights all wrongs by making AKs absolutely useless pieces of shit.
again, if you're too narrow minded to... oh I dunno... buy your own weapons, then you can hardly be surprised when the gun you just looted off a dead enemy is in less than mint condition. And if you think that the AK is all there is to the arsenal... boy are you missing out.

The characters are great too. Another game dev would have made the characters boring, monotonous drones with back stories pulled straight out of "A game developers guide to characters with no imagination whatsoever". Not Far Cry 2. The incredible characters with great voice acting pull you into the plot like non before. As previously mentioned, the plot is great too!
Compared to what, Crysis? Oh please. Compared to Crysis, Far Cry 2 is practically Shakespeare.

Far Cry 2 is possibly the greatest sandbox game ever made. They actually put interesting things in this living, breathing world. Otherwise you would spend the whole game killing the same dudes in the same booooorrrriiiinnggggg fashions.
Describing Crysis again are we? At least FC2 has something Crysis never had: Genuine atmosphere. For once you're not an all-American Marine whose theme song obliterates the very sound of the world around you. Here the music subtly matches the tension that you're experiencing at any given time, in a way that evokes the actual place you are in, not where you are from. Also since you can't rely on your magical invisibility suit to sneak around, employing stealth takes some... you know... actual skill. Which in turn gives you a real sense of reward when you pull it off properly.

And I'd much rather face a repetitious armada of human beings with their own tactics, threats, vulnerabilities and palpable fears than boring nameless faceless alien race #38549 any day.


Seriously.
