Come behold failure: Top 10 FPS
BlindsideDork | 8:07 AM on 06.10.2008 53 comments




This is just wrong. I felt so dirty watching this. It is just made of fail. This top ten list is for the best FPS and not just console and decide on those? Have you no shame? You can't see me now but my hand is firmly placed on my face.

Half-Life 2 is that low on the list while Halo is that HIGH? Sure, Halo was popular but it wasn't epic, amazing, or just sheer awesome! The campaign was ridiculous and stupid and the multiplayer was only good when you didn't want to study in college.

ScrewAttack, you fail me. To think I helped you out in the CoD4 Tournament at MAGFest and then pranked your room late at night. I thought we were close, I thought we were friends. I guess its war.

You've broken his heart ScrewAttack!

wtf?

When I first watched this video I walked away thinking that the list and it's order were pure crap! Then I took a step back and realized this was a top 10 "console" FPS list. Show me a top 10 PC FPS list and I'll make a more appropriate response. Consoles FPSs just don't hold a candle to the greatness of PC FPSs.

ScrewAttack needs to stop.
bbrigg1's Destructoid Blog
That's horrible. That just had no chance even before they made it.
aborto thefetus's Destructoid Blog
Doom 3 doesn't deserve to be on there. It tried to be scary and failed miserably. You can't scare somebody if he's holding a goddamn minigun.

To tell you the truth, there was no doubt in my mind this list would suck. Somebody who likes FPS's enough to make a top 10 list of them is bound to be stupid enough to put Halo above Half-life 2 and Bioshock.

At least it was Halo 1 and not Halo 2. Halo 1 was okay in my opinion, it's the other ones that are overrated piles of Shite.

JACK of No Trades's Destructoid Blog
Doom 3 wasn't better than Doom 1&2. Also, CoD4 murders all of those games, it should be first. CoD made me feel like I was a little boy playing Goldeneye 64 multiplayer. No other FPS has done that, not even Halo. I like Halo, but it holds nothing on Cod4.
galagabug 's Destructoid Blog
bad list is bad.
BlindsideDork's Destructoid Blog
Jack...judging by what you said, shouldn't CoD4 be number 2 and GoldenEye 1 since you said the former reminded you of the latter?

HL2 ftw!
Perry Simm's Destructoid Blog
Yeah, watched this before. Wasn't very happy about it either. Then again, it's their list and they can put whatever they want on it. If I'd get upset over every shitty list on the internets I'd probably have killed myself by now.
B-Radicate's Destructoid Blog
@silverdragon1979: Did you even watch the video? Half of the games are PC games.

Overall, I liked the list. I'm a little upset the Unreal series didn't make the cut, as I believe Unreal did more for FPS games than BioShock did (especially since there's only been one BioShock) but it was still a decent list nonetheless.

Also, the Oddjob quote at the end made me lol. We ALWAYS banned him when I played with my buddies unless a girl was playing. Then we'd lose to her because of it, haha. Great times.
wardrox's Destructoid Blog
What's wrong with the vid? Ok the ordering is a little out, but it's all quite subjective. Also, hatin' on halo is going to stay cool isn't it? sigh.
JACK of No Trades's Destructoid Blog
Blindside

True, thats what I meant to say.

Here is my list based off of nasalgia:

1. Goldeneye
2. Doom 1 & 2
3. Unreal Tournament
4. Duke Nukem
5. Quake

Here is my list based off of today's standards:

1. CoD4
2. Bioshock
3. HL2
4. Halo 3

Housekeeping fluff your pillow?
SilverDragon1979's Destructoid Blog
@B-Radicate: I did watch the video, though there were tears in my eyes the whole time. While many of the games on that list started off as PC games, they were all console games at one point or another. Heck when they showed the game box for Half-Life they showed the PS2 version. There is not a single game on that list that was PC exclusive. When a top 10 list has the #1 and #2 spots filled by console exclusive FPS shooters the list is a "top 10 console FPS" list.

GoldenEye, the best FPS shooter of all time. Give me a break!!!
JACK of No Trades's Destructoid Blog
SIVERDRAGON

Show your list! Stop complaining and show us what FPS's you are talking about.

Serious Sam? Mist? Duex Ex? Painkiller?
EternalDeathSlayer's Destructoid Blog
Can we stop hating Halo? This is getting out of hand, like when it became popular to hate Final Fantasy 7 just because it was popular.

And that is pretty much fake and superficial.
king3vbo's Destructoid Blog
lol fps
Cowzilla3's Destructoid Blog
Man that sucked, at least the realized GoldenEye should be number 1.
NotAZombie's Destructoid Blog
@ SilverDragon197918293859683030294875508483

Who fucking cares if they were on consoles? You want to throw Crysis up there? Give me a break just because it isn't exclusive to the all powerful PC doesn't mean it sucks.

On topic, I though this was ok but they should put HL2 way higher, like closer to 1 - 3. I thought Battlefield 2 or 1942 should have made the list. Without Handsome Tom these lists kinda blow but I would like to see what they do with an RTS list.
SilverDragon1979's Destructoid Blog
@Jack of No Trades:
Let's just list some of the greats shall we: Unreal Tournament, Half Life, Team Fortress, Jedi Knight:DF2, No One Lives Forever, Far Cry, Battlefield 1942, The Chronicles of Riddick: EFBB, Portal (could be argued whether this is a FPS or not), Serious Sam, The Wheel of Time. All great PC games, none of which were mentioned.
JACK of No Trades's Destructoid Blog
SILVER

The Chronicles of Riddick: EFBB was on xbox so it don't count.

Unreal Tournament,Half Life, Battlefield & Serious Sam, but they still have hella competition.
SilverDragon1979's Destructoid Blog
Wow ... all I said originally was that the list was console-centric and that I think PC FPSs are better then console FPSs. Apperently this ruffled some feathers in the community. Maybe I'll write my own post about this, giving you guys a better place to bash the hell out of me. ;-)
B-Radicate's Destructoid Blog
@silverdragon1979: Oh, so they had a clip art of the PS2 box and therefore they were being biased or something against PC games? Give me a break.

When they mentioned Wolfenstein 3D, Duke Nukem, and Quake they definitely were NOT talking about any horrible ports or rehashes that were released years later. Please.

Plus, for the games that WERE ported to consoles, the list is talking about story and gameplay, which usually translates pretty damn decently to consoles. Maybe the gameplay isn't as twitch, but the story of games like HL2 (which I agree should have been higher) certainly translates no matter what format your playing it on, which is the point of the list AND the game. For the record, I played HL2 on Xbox and 360 and enjoyed both experiences quite a bit, despite the fact I used a controller pad and not a mouse & keyboard, thank you.

Also, many people would argue Goldeneye is the best FPS of all time. It certainly revolutionized story telling and addictive gameplay in FPS games AND opened the door for the genre on consoles, which are currently home to hundreds of FPS titles that all sell very well. It was like the gateway game for many current FPS fanatics, myself included (despite the fact I believe Perfect Dark to be the superior N64 FPS). Just 'cause it wasn't the first doesn't mean it can't be the best.

My list, ftr:

1. Perfect Dark
2. CoD4
3. HL2 (+Eps. 1&2)
4. UT series
5. Goldeneye
6. TF2
7. Quake
8. Wolfenstein
9. Halo
10. BioShock (sadly)

Sue me.
shipero's Destructoid Blog
No System Shock 2? Not even a honorable mention?
JACK of No Trades's Destructoid Blog
DAMN! Forgot about Perfect Dark and its in my 64 right now! Im a Idiot. Perfect Dark was better than Goldeneye.
WastelandTraveler's Destructoid Blog
This has got to be the most ass backwards thing ive ever seen screw attack do.

First of all.. why the hell is half-life 2 near the end of the list? wtf? before duke nukem? WHA!? I love duke nukem to the grave as well but man, come on ... really? The only thing duke had going for it was boobies and funny one liners.

And where the hell is the Tribes series, or Battlefield series.. where the hell is the Team Fortress Series? I mean come ON.

Rockvillian's Destructoid Blog
Way too many uses of "badass" and "doesn't have multiplayer" and "Doom3 is on this list".

And I'm glad other people's opinions are not my own.

NO HAZE?!!
aborto thefetus's Destructoid Blog
@EDS

I am not going to stop hating something because somebody tells me too. It's my fucking opinion and I have every goddamn right to hate it.

And what pisses me off more is that you automatically fucking assume that I hate it because it's popular to hate it. I fucking hate it not because of the goddamn game I hate it because that I didn't like it and people LIKE YOU tell me I don't like it because it's trendy to do so.
Rockvillian's Destructoid Blog
waaaaaaahhh this stupid video is making us all angry...

SHAME ON YOU SCREW ATTACK!
Scape's Destructoid Blog
HL2 and both episodes should easily be #1.
Anus Mcphanus's Destructoid Blog
Guys let's chill out for a bit. I thought the list was ok although I would have swapped Doom 3 for Unreal Tournament but seriously Halo has done a lot for the FPS genre. I'm not really a fan but you can't deny the impact it's had and that has to mean something.

Goldeneye no.1?.....Fuck YES!
BlindsideDork's Destructoid Blog
Halo did nothing to FPS genre that wasn't already done before. It just sped up the process of it coming the consoles. Halo has all been done before when it came out. Just some of it wasn't on consoles yet.
brainderailment's Destructoid Blog
Wow, this is just a popularity list.

Also, WTF @ Halo, he says "great controls" while showing the fucking warthog flopping around. Those were the worst fucking driving controls EVAR!
mistic's Destructoid Blog
well for one its screwattacks top 10 list :-)

not THE TOP 10 list...

and I gotta say, if you listen to the explanation, the order and choice of the games kinda makes sense...
Sharpless's Destructoid Blog
First of all, ScrewAttack is fail. Second of all, top ten lists are fail. In summary, everything about this is fail.
SLiFE's Destructoid Blog
On a top 10 list of the worst top 10 lists of all time... this is definitely in the top 3.
vexed alex's Destructoid Blog
Oh, look. People getting angry at other's opinions. Never heard of that in the video game community. I am in pure shock.
AngelsDontBurn's Destructoid Blog
Halo is horrible. I can't believe it's so high on that list.
MEE's Destructoid Blog
''half-life 1 received GOOD reviews''
