I hate FPS. Period.

I don't agree with you. Best stealth game is Thief : The Dark Project. It had great atmosphere, dark and fantasy. It wasn't a funny, colourful game. Splinter Cell has got boring, political fiction plot which I hate :yawn: . And it was to easy. Sam also has got to many gadgets.

i agree with unholy, although i am not a fan of the stealth genre :whistle:

Thief was an alright game, but for being a stealth game it had it's high points, I didn't really like though when they tried to make it third person, with the latest one.

What do you expect Sam Fisher to work for? The Easter bunny? :blink:
Seriously, the gadgets arent much and you have to use them wisely.
P.S."It had great atmosphere, dark and fantasy" if it had that than it couldnt have been a normal stealth game, it has to be intense and - come on - fantasy? :whistle: If it was too easy, try "hard" difficulty.

Thief was so awesome, especially when you played it on hard. There was nothing worse than a graveyard or crypt mission on hard. All that zombie moaning while poor Garret was creaping around and trying to find "his" loot. I remember loading up on flashbombs every time I had even a remote possibility to encounter zombies. Don't knock it until you've tried it.

-re-edit- I've really gotta read the topic more carefully... the games that I hate that everyone else loves have gotta be Civilization and the Diablo series. I don't hate the gameplay nor the concept, it's the huge amount of time that I lose to these games that makes me hate them.

I really don't like Diablo 1 & 2, Duke Nuke'Em, <whatever> - Fortress.

My dislikes are as follows:

Morrowind, 'cause I don't like havig to run for aprox. 10 min. to get from town to town. Also it was just to complex for me, I like'em simple.

Neverwinter, it is, as has been said, to dark, and makes your eyes ache, and I jus found the storyline boring.

GTA series, I just never understood the fun in being in a car and driving in circles while shooting and running people over.(Although I feel obliged to say that I simply love Carmageddon :ok: )
And last but not least, Doom1&2, Quake1&2,Blood and others alike, I'm just not into FPS with poor graffics.(Again, I do love Duke Nuke'm though :max: )

... so take the engine, and remove all that makes it Halo then?

As FPS go, I haven't played better than Flashpoint; although America's Army comes close.

I was incredibly disappointed with Escape Velocity - and that has a huge following; I just didn't see what all the fuss was about

Yeah, I don't like this two either but i forgot about them. Neverwinter is very boring, each chapter looks the same (three or for locations where you have to find something), there are changed D&D rules (like this stupid items you can wear only if reached some level), game have too many fights and you xp only from fighting. It's not a cRPG, it's a more boring sister of Diablo or Dungeon Siege. Morrowind also was very boring for me. The action was too slow, and the world was to big. I don't like games which I must play four months non-stop to finish them. One month is a good lenght :D
