Sheesh, if you want an uber plotline go rent a movie. Games are to be played, not watched, as Far Cry's sum total of ~5 minutes of cinematics hints at. Far Cry is the best FPS I've played, I like it better than even the Doom trilogy and HalfLife.

There are plenty of games that have been made with great plotlines and great gameplay.

I prefer to have both myself and don't like games where the object is to just go around and shoot people for some stupid reason because the plotline sucked.

On the same note, I only played RTCW up until the demons and whatnot showed up. I didn't want to kill demons, I wanted to kill Nazis.

What was so terrible about it, other than having a vaguely similar plotline to HalfLife? I'll admit that I don't play many FPS games, so maybe that factors into it - and I'm a sucker for good graphics and the tropics, and that definitely figures into it.

I loved the graphics and the environments, but the plotline and the gameplay just didn't do it for me.

The vehicles were also cool.
