well and since you just "admited" that you never played the old gems your whole argument is pretty one sided of course if you only played the current gen fps you will say they are the best you have ever played..

when did I do that, exactly? You always want it to seem that it's a one-sided arguement. I've been playing FPS since Doom 1, which had little story. If you think Halflife wasn't better than older FPS then this arguement is over. Really, your pompous attitude makes is very annoying to discuss anything with.

 

you know you actually have a interesting way of showing when youre at your wits end.. i dont think you actually believe i think those games are better than half life nor do you believe that the story of doom has anything to do with this.. because since it was one of the first fps of course there is no story but its still an important game..

but you know all that.. then why say i t its just for the sake of having an argument isnt it ? tell me what to you want to archieve with this? and as for being pompous yes guilty as charged.. as for you you have a way of twisting my every word ...

and ..if you have been playing fps since doom.. how come you never played any of those i mentioned.. or actually tried to disprove my theory doing so by talking about what you think about those games

well at least you know you are pompous as you show again in the first sentence before admitting it in the 2nd paragraph.

I just don't understand what you are trying to prove at this point.  You are saying that multiplayer takes away from single player, but there are more developers now and more game types and plenty of great stories out there to experience.  Why does a game have to be in first person?  Why didn't you like F.E.A.R., CoD4, Bioshock, Halflife 2  (ep 2) that have come out recently and had good single player stories?  A lot of people like multiplayer so it's not going to go away, but there are still single player games out there to that are good.  The Darkness was decent and had some unique things (such as watching full movies in game, which some people hate but I liked).

My whole point is I don't understand this nostalgia for old games unless you really just want System Shock 3 and Deux Ex 3 and that's all that will satisfy you.  If that's the case, then I hope you find a game exactly like those. 

Meanwhile, there are plenty of games out there that have good single player experiences and millions of people will continue to enjoy them and their multiplayer experiences as well.  Multiplayer is worth hundreds of hours so it's nice for a game to do it well, though.
