Looking for slow paced FPS games

[sandorski]

Minecraft, lolx. Most Older FPS games will do and can be had for Cheap on Steam.

I played through both Fallout 3 and Fallout NV and I really enjoyed them. I tried borderlands but it was more difficult than I cared for. I tried Black Ops and my response time is too slow to be able to enjoy that game. I ended up getting completely slaughtered. It is not very fun when you are new and can only move around for about a minute before getting killed over and over.

isn't that third person sneaking game?

Counterstrike? Black ops?

Thief - Deadly Shadows (aka, Thief 3) is a hybrid 1st/3rd person on PC, strictly 3rd person on Xbox, but the original two are first person only.

I highly recommend Thief 2 for the OP, along with the hundreds of available Fan Missions.

try AVP

I haven't played the new one, but the old one was ultra twitch. Although once you got used to it, it was kind of easy.

Are any modern FPSes not slow? I'd say you'll be fine if you stay out of Quake Live territory.

IMHO they are all fast 😛 Too much twitch, recoil, keys and gear to deal with.

Portal would be best to learn FPS mechanics, and the keyboard/mouse combo. Far Cry would be a good follow up as it's free roaming and you can get used to playing different styles, whether it be run and gun, or stealth attacks.

Crysis 2 would be a decent shooter for someone new to the FPS genre. It slowly ramps the difficulty curve as you progress, you have a suit with really powerful features, and you can play at your own pace for the most part. You can opt to run-n-gun, snipe, or go for stealth.

Doom 3 was fairly easy and slow paced.

Most games should be fairly accommodating once on easy:

That's probably a good choice. I suck at FPS and had no problems beating Doom 3.

 

[zinfamous]

Medal of Honor (the original) was the best 🙂

I was about to say this.

This is the honest truth. Since modern FPS's are all about being realistic, you don't get this anymore.

I'd argue starting on Quake Live would make someone a better player over the long haul.

Hah, that's some awesome gameplay right there. :awe: It's so unlike what the kids are being spoon-fed these days.

Ahh, modern games suck so bad... :|

Just wait until Serious Sam 3 comes out.

Serious Sam 3 seems like the perfect game to me. Teams playing against the game will be awesome.

Always looks so weird to me at that level of detail (which I realize is just for the movie). r_picmip 7, baby. 😉
