Your favorite "first person" game

[jackpackage200]

What is your favorite game that uses the first person perspective?

For me, it is Metroid Prime. It is easily one of the most immersive games I have ever played. I also love the atmosphere, story, enemies, and the amazing soundtrack.

Hmm, hard to say... I played Skyrim entirely in 3rd person, so that doesn't count...
I usually don't do first person, so let's make a list...

Painkiller
Bulletstorm
Everquest (back during the first 5 or so expansions, when I first played it as a kid with my mom, 1st person was the defualt viewpoint, and how I played. Now I don't know if I could do a first person MMO, lol)
Breakdown


Tie between Breakdown and EQ...

It's ArmA II for me. I like the realism. That, and you can free look independently of the gun. That's just plain cool! I've already made it through each campaign once, and I am on another play-through of each on the hardest difficulty.

 

[Shadowstar38]

The First Resistance game on PS3.

Bulletstorm comes in a close second just by how amazingly fun that game is compared to other shooters.

 

[Terminate421]

The Halo Franchise.

The games have always had a sense of power behind the helmet.

BREAKDOWN!!!!!!!. BOUGHT IT, PLAY IT, LOST IT......NEVER SEEN IT ANYWHERE EVERY SINCE!!!!.
That game kicked ass.

In all fairness, Fallout 3 and New Vegas can be first OR third and I actually use both.

 

[Rule Britannia]

Borderlands or Battlefield 3.

I love the "cartoony" aesthetic of Borderlands and the fun arcade like shooter style it has.

I like Battlifield 3 because it's fast paced action (minus the bullshit CoD has).

 

[Lucem712]

Fallout 3. There is just something about that game that regardless of the faults, I love it. I don't care what it's detractors' think or about the bastardization of the lore; I love that game too much to give a damn.

There is nothing like walking across the Capital Wasteland as 'I don't wanna set the world on Fire' plays in the background.

[GTwander]

Daggerfall.

I'm a sucker for depth, so had I played System Shock II or Stalker, they would have likely ended up my choice.
Oh, Deus Ex applies too I guess.

 

[JesterRaiin]

Thief series. Thief 2 to be more precise. Nothing beats its atmosphere.

I also like Deus Ex : Invisible war quite a lot.
I'm not sure why it's despised so much - trying to beat it with as "Infiltrator" (as low bodycount as possible) or "Ghost" (is someone there ?) is fun.

 

[Thoric485]

Dark Messiah of Might and Magic by far.

Melee, magic, archery, stealth - it's all fluid and spectacularly animated. Skyrim is a hack job in comparison.

 

[King of Asgaard]

Bioshock, because the first person perspective actually contributes to the narrative and the twist, which everybody has seen by now.

 

[Shocksplicer]

Easy for me, it's my favourite game.

The Darkness.

 

[Manji187]

Wow, I was so sure somebody would have mentioned Minecraft by now. But nope, shooty shooty it is for most people as expected.

 

[Kyber]

I play my Bethesda games from 1st person so i guess the list would look like this:
-Oblivion
-Skyrim
-Fallout: NV
-Deus Ex: HR
they are in no order, also you might see that i'm more of a modern gamer

 

[Chester Rabbit]

Return to Castle Wolfenstein. The most fun I have ever had with a FPS.
Okay and I guess Halo 2 would be runner up.
