This heavily relies on your definition of "large enough" I know of games with 20-100 concurrent players you might like, like the FOSS recreation of Ace of Spades. We did that for a gamenight a few years ago and it was great.

>>1750573 guess it depends on game size Squad 44 has 100 per game and around 200 players (i know it says more but i don't see them in servers ever) so you have to hope you get in probably more than 4 games going on, maybe 10 ideally >>1750660 i had fun with onirism for a bit

>>1750545 Timesplitters 2 has a fairly active community surprisingly, low 3 digits sure but you wouldn't expect it.

Do you want PvE or PvP or both?

>>1754808 any, PvE would be nice though HD2 keeps getting worse I abandoned BF SM2 was terrible on launch CoD only gets worse Might give Deep Rock another try I'm not touching cape shit or Overwatch

>>1754869 >PvE would be nice though Have you heard about EDF? You should try it.

>>1754880 i played the campaign of EDF 5

Hell Let Loose

>that have a large enough player base to where you don't need to be an autist of that game to participate Probably Halo, CoD, BF, or any of those other shitty normalfag games. SBMM should mostly make it so smurfs and tryhards are a non issue if that's what you're looking for. >fun Welp, nevermind. Honestly, I don't know either. I play a lot of The Finals and enjoy myself in quick cash only, which has no SBMM, but I've been at least in the top 5% of pretty much every FPS I've ever touched and The Finals has too much skill expression, so even someone marginally better will stomp you. Maybe TF2? TF2 doesn't really ever get old, and surprisingly even in the normal match making, you'll often find 2 really good tryhards in each match, and everyone else is just average. Though I do add, claiming that you need to be an autist and a tryhard to enjoy any game tells me that you're focusing too much of your enjoyment on victory / deflecting blame on the game and not on learning / doing cool stuff. Find games where you can do cool, crazy shit and have some freeedom to do so, and just keep on doing crazy shit. If you're not enjoying a game even while losing, why even bother playing it? It's the entire reason I dropped ASSFAGGOTS as a genre. Fun while winning, atrociously unfun when losing.>>1906545 >>1906545 Played the stress test. It's alright. I'm not a fan of extraction shooters, though, and a lot of the gameplay is very slow paced and punishing, which is fun by itself, but the loot you get from exploring shit is unrewarding and didn't get me hyped to try the real version. Didn't feel like there would be some kind of interesting progression with harder enemies in different maps either, so I didn't feel it. It's relatively well polished and well done, however. I'd describe it as "Tarkov for casuals", which is ok if that's what you're into, I just didn't get into it.

What are some actually good third-person shooters, /v/? I know of Max Payne and Ratchet but 90% of TPS I know of are 1: The worst waist-high walls and strawberry jam damage indicator dudebro shit, like Gears of War. 2: Genre blends, being primarily the other genre its blended with, like Hitman and Mass Effect.

>>1906545 >Nexon >>1906658 Honestly been a while since I played a proper TPS that wasn't Onirism, so my recs will be on the older side except for that. It's also all solo shit. I'd recommend Onirism and tell you how GOTY it is if it wasn't so fucking broken right now. Bugs everywhere, and even missing content like entire fucking levels because the dumb frogs fatfingered during crunch. Otherwise, it's an absolute treat due to its sheer content size, and being a medley of everything cool that was done during 1995 to 2005. Main inspirations are Serious Sam II, but it's mainly compared to Ratchet & Clank despite the dev team never playing it. Hard to rec it now because of its absolute state, the fixes can't come soon enough. Total Overdose exists if you want something similar to Max Payne, but more casual (as in, way too fucking easy) and more focused on being the coolest dude doing sick tricks while killing beaners, than actually killing beaners. Shit open world and side missions, but the campaign is entertaining enough. For the same style, John Woo's Stranglehold is slightly superior due to its better use of the environment for doing sick moves than TD. Very good heroic bloodshed. As for Gears of War dudebro shit, 50 Cent Blood on the Sand is a guilty pleasure and vastly superior to the mediocre Bulletproof. When you get past the NIGGERS and NIGGER MUSIC, its simple idea of just adding a score system and a ranking based on it that requires a perfect run to get the gold medal turns what is essentially a generic cover shooter into a serviceable killfest as long as you actually go for that high-score. No PC port though, and the "rewards" for high ranks are shit. As for FPS, I'm in the middle of Cultic Episode 2. While I like it so far, I can't help but feel like it's a bit inferior to episode 1, perhaps because it's not that focused on action setpieces until later, and some new enemies like the SWAT shotgunner are way too spongy. Nailed the horror setpieces though, it's actually scary at times.

>>1906624 That's such a fucking stupid name, I laugh at it every time. >Hell Let Loose <Pe-ew, it sure did!
