Best Game Pre-Crysis?

I liked bioshock until i found out dieing didn't matter i would die with 9 lives and no health and come out of the tube with 9 lives and about 20% health ruined the game for me.
It was so easy aswell, more fool me for buying into the hype.

Why not manually reload the game everytime you die as you would in any other shooter game? Just because the game allows you the option of playing in easy mode it does not mean you have to take it. IF a mere refusal to press "quickload" every now and again ruined the game for you then god help developers!

I consider myself quite adept as an FPS'er and the difficulty level of the whole game seemed quite refreshing to me. I think it was just perfect as most tasks provided just enough challenge to be able to complete first time. It really ruins the atmosphere when u gotta keep staring at a loading bar.
 
Seen as all you seem to be after is graphics I don't get why you didn't like Bioshock! No other games currently compare to it.

You could try TF2 and ETQW, both of which have nice graphics. They couldn't be more different either!

Games are not all about their graphics, which is why you are probably getting bored :)

I dont think hes talking about the graphics.... because he mentions its repetitive. You'll lose interest in the graphics if the game itself leads itself to repetitive gameplay which Bioshock does to some extent (thats not an invitation to an argument over Bioshock!)

OP: try Stalker, the graphics and atmosphere are excellent.
 
i enjoyed Bioshock a lot but fair enough if he didnt. try stalker, the gfx are nice and is a game of great depth and variation
 
Bioshock was great for the first few hours but as soon as you have all the guns and you are just killing splicers and big daddys then it gets repetative :) and the AI isn't great hence it is easy.

Sorry I meant WIC is amazing graphics :) i have that on order for delivery later this week but truley i love shooters :)

I can't wait for Crysis but i will try stalker now :)

Thanks

p.s. it may sound like i am only after graphics but for me is the graphics arent visualy attractive or don't give atmosphere then the game gets repetative after the 10 millionth person you have shot. even bioshocks graphics don't add up to cover up how repetative it is. I really am waiting for crysis :)
 
Every game is repetitive if you look at it like that. I've yet to find a game that does not involve doing the same thing all the way through. Only the scenery changes. :)
 
i've been sucked into Armed assault, dont know why but i really enjoy it despite getting my ass kicked very 5mins.

oblivion is good fun

stalker although fun didnt quite do it for me, just abit weird but good game. didnt really get into it.

i would recommend chessmaster :D ace game
 
I am playing John Woo's Stranglehold, its a cool game, more of a Third Person Shooter, and very much like Max Payne, but good fun especially as you can shoot virtually everything :D
 
Im finding myself in the same situation now. Ive played everything to the death; MOH, Bioshock, COH, Stalker. Now im finding myself with nothing to play, and sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for Crysis.

I did download TF2 last night tho, what a brilliant game !
