I'm not a fan of shooting games. I know this sounds snobbish, but I prefer something that provides an intellectual challenge in multiple ways. For example, a game where the enemies are hard and you have trouble just trying to get to the boss. A smarter player would realize that there is a secret door you can open up right before the boss that leads back to the checkpoint, allowing you to bypass every enemy from that point on.

I haven't played any of the Team Fortress games, but my friend, Aaron, has and he loves it.

The shadow of collusus is sort of like the game you want. It is a beautiful game, and I see your a fan of dark souls as well. Dark souls is probably one of the coolest gaming franchises ever. Unforgiving gameplay is certainly something to love!

Deoxsis, have you seen my thread in Off Topic about the Legends? I think you would like that kind of game.

I spend more time than I should playing video games, so I might as well give my opinion on this. The way I see it, video games are a way of getting away from the boredom of real life, to be able to do something different and fun, even if you're just pressing buttons and looking at a screen. Video games always need some form of immersion to make it something different, something special. The perfect video game would have some kind of element that makes you feel like you're in the game, as strange as it sounds. If a game doesn't get you excited, it's just a bunch of pixels to me. This is why I like first-person and third-person games. There is a character that you control, you can see things through that characters eyes, or you see what he's doing, you see what's around him, etc. My favorite video game at the moment is Team Fortress 2, because it's also got a very comical side to it. It's fun, it's funny, etc. The reason I like games like shooters above others is because you are there, in the action. They require fast reflexes and they have a lot of pressure on hand-eye coordination. That's something that I find it lacking in more strategy-based games; there's no action. Take mobas for example, you see things from a panoramic, birds-eye view. It makes it feel like you're doing exactly what you're doing in real life: clicking buttons. There's no action, no element of immersion, which just makes it a bit more boring for me.

I guess it depends on how much action is in it.

A game like Kingdom Rush has an aerial view, but it feels like you're laying the most intense game of chess ever, and it's probably the 2nd best game I've ever played. But I see what you mean, although I personally think it makes the game sometimes harder to play, which ruins part of the fun for me at least.

Crusader Kings II.
It's a game about feudalism.You start as a feudal ruler and try to achieve greatness.It has backstabbing,war,dynasties,backstabbing,diplomacy and you need a reason to declare war on someone.Oh,and did I say backstabbing?
There's no goal at all,and it's like a mix of an RPG with a Grand Strategy game.

EU 4 too. Paradox has the best grand strategy games ever. (Crusader Kings 1,2; Victoria 1,2; Europa Universalis 1,2,3,4; Sengoku, etc)

Yes, indeed. Getting a critical hit in an enemy's weak point is much more satisfying than firing a bullet through someone's chest in my opinion.

[MechaNecromancer]

On a slightly off-topic note,did you notice there will be a Civilization VI?It'll be in...Space.

I'm not going to like it, unfortunately, space isn't my preferred place.

Then, the Spy from TF2 is the perfect class for you! Relying on trickery and stealth, the Spy backstabs his enemies, killing them instantly.
