While Bioshock is a better game, yeah, it's much more of a standard FPS with interesting RPG elements for flavor. FO3 is an RPG with some FPS elements added in.

Both are good. FO3 sounds more like what you are describing. BioShock isn't a frantic shooter along the lines of DOOM or Serious Sam, but it's a shooter at heart and the RPG elements that are there are very minor. It's hard to recommend against it though.
And if you like FO3, you might as well give Oblivion a spin as it's basically FO3 in fantasy clothing.
Mass Effect is very story-driven and has shooting elements, so it might be something to look into as well.
Have you played Portal?
Same here.
If I wanted to take a break from Unreal Tournament play, what are some good games that are more relaxed and a bit slower paced.
Sometimes I get tired of in your face shooting all the time and was wondering if there are some different types of games that don't require so much precision skill as UT and most of the other FPS games.
I played Guild Wars for just a little while back in 2005 or 2006 but not long enough to get to know it. I'm just wondering what different gametypes are out there that are not FPS.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Prozac
Funny that I started this thread. Since I first posted I tried Oblivion, hated it, Mass Effect, couldn't tolerate it, Forsaken World, hated it, and Guild Wars and WoW, etc. then I realized that it wasn't the shooting that I disliked about fps, it was the ONLINE shooting. I just wanted to chill to some easy fps single player campaigns.
So I play Fallout 3, Borderlands etc, any fps that is more geared to offline play. As I tried the non-fps games I realized that I enjoy more, having a gun in my hand and shooting things, after all. Just want to be able to set the difficulty and tempo of the game. Like in FO3 i set it to easy or just one step up, so I dominate...cause I think that's fun.
I am however considering Assassin's Creed or Prince of Persia series.
so there you have. That's what ended up doing.
A friend of mine plays RTS games, and they sound interesting. If they have some shooting and are not overly complicated, ha ha, I might like to give them a try. Inspire me Hal. lol
^ lol, what kind of shooting? They are all basically the same feeling gameplay wise. Isometric view and control. You either like it or not.
As far as your epiphany with FPS games, I still think/agree that you should play Mirror's Edge and Portal 1 and 2 and Left 4 Dead then.

already play l4d, hated Portal, but I like the look of mirror's edge...can you give me a basic description of the game, Sleepy?
Well there's really not much shooting at all, I pretty much did none on my playthroughs. If you like the movement aspects of some FPS games though, then this could be a nice change of pace for a while, however short.
It really is short and not much replay value.
Oh btw did anyone ever mention the STALKER games in here? That seems to fit what you're looking for with your new description. Even though they're so glitchy and have their problems, I'd personally rate them way higher than FO3 or Borderlands.

Thanks Sleepy, I actually bought the STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl based on a bazillion recommendations. I only played it a bit, then went sour on it. BUT I think that was my fault because I was going through gaming burn out.
It looked like a really cool game, and many people told me it had a long campaign. It's sitting in either my Steam or Direct2Drive account just waiting to be reinstalled...you think I should???

Anything else happen?
Try any RTS?
o_o
Did you ever try it or anything else? Heck, if you've got time, why not?
TBH I never beat any of the STALKER games, there were some thinks that irked me about the gameplay and design. I only got like half way in the first and probably like 1/6 in the third.
