| Quote: | Whenever we sit down to make ourselves feel important by listing games, our first step is settling on what the heck “best” means. In this case, we’re mostly concerned with identifying which shooters are fun now, today. Games—3D games especially—age. They’re products of the technology they were built on, and sanctifying Starsiege: Tribes over its modern successor Tribes: Ascend, for example, doesn’t help us help you figure out what games to play.
We value that more than the historical significance of a game, and doing so helps us build a list that recommends what’s great today rather than publishing a popularity contest. But we don’t ignore a game’s impact completely—innovation and influence just has a lesser weight under our criteria. We’re also laser-focused on the things that make a shooter a shooter. We consider Fallout: New Vegas, System Shock 2, and Deus Ex to be must-play experiences, but do we celebrate them because they’re great shooters, or because they’re excellent story-driven games that happen to feature guns? Drawing these kinds of lines helps us provide a better service to you.' |

Please note, that those games were purely chosen on how the combat gameplay is. And in that regard, i think most of them were chosen right.
Enthoo Evolv ATX TG // Asus Prime x370 // Ryzen 1700 // Gainward GTX 1080 // 16GB DDR4-3200

Slow news day I guess?
It's easy to just pump out some list that doesn't really follow any rules other than what tickles your or your readers balls. Doesn't matter if it's good tickles or bad tickles!

I would replace Far Cry 4 with Crysis, Far Cry 1, or even Far Cry 2.

Where is Undying? Is Dishonored even a FPS? Strange choices for competitive FPS with Dirty Bomb and BF: BC2, but I don't see Siege which is the most innovative shooter in years.
I wonder on what they based this top, did they actually consider shooter mechanics? Anyway, I wouldn't take them seriously tho, on the RPG top they put Reaper of Souls over VTMB and Divinity: Original Sin over Gothic 2 and many others.
