I played No One Lives Forever 1+2 and its spinoff (Contract Jack) again in 2014. They are still superb games and run fine in Win7 x64 1080p.
Sadly, such long (40+ hours) single player first person shooter games that offered a innovative gameplay, very good story and humour are a thing of the past.
New games that focus on gameplay and learn why Deus Ex 1 and No One Lives Forever 1 were such outstanding games, would be great. But such games can only be created when creative game designers are let alone with enough cash, and no business people in sight.
Deus Ex:HR and Dishonored sort of filled that void for me :-)
Both were refreshing yes. I am seeing forward to the upcoming Dishonored 2. But DX3 cannot be compared with DX1 on any level. The development of DX4 appearently took the wrong turn and additionally has been pushed back for almost another year.
I rarely ever finished games, but No One Lives Forever 1 & 2 were an exception. Never did play (or even heard of) Contract Jack though. Sadly, RSI will prevent me from giving that one a go.
