Title says it all. What do you think is the best FPS RPG hybrid from any gen?
Personally, I'd have to go with either Deus Ex: HR, or Bioshock.
This topic is locked from further discussion.
Borderlands and Deus Ex so far. I have yet to play HR, but it looks awesome. Not Fallout or Bioshock.
Deus Ex 1 or Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines. This gen... ummm... Fallout new vegas or Deus ex hr.
Yeah, I don't think Bioshock really counts, does it? I guess my pick is Borderlands. I recently bought Fallout 3 and it seems pretty solid from the tiny bit I have played, but I still want to beat Dead Space 2 and then Resistance 3 before I go back into it. I don't have a lot of time for long games like that these days.
Fallout 3. DxHR is awesome (and probably the better game), but because its (really great cool) stealth component. Playing it as a FPS is incredibly boring...
I wouldn't say BioShock is RPGish enough to count, but it's definitely better than both.
System Shock 2, any other answer is wrong. From this gen its probably Fallout 3 (I didnt play Deus Ex: HR yet though).
Deus Ex and Human Revolution.
BioShock felt redundant and got boring after a while, plus the ending was stupid.
Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines, Deus Ex 1 (haven't played HR yet), System Shock 2, Fallout New Vegas
My friend, while System Shock 2 has these elements, I would class is separately as survival horror. The best one. Obviously.
My problem with the Borderlands' RPG elements has to due with the games' total lack of active skills (each class has a grand total of one) and its overuse of passive skills. As any isometric ARPG fan knows, there's nothing more boring than a skill tree with nothing but passives.

and you'd be half right I guess. It's officially labeled as action RPG surivival Horror. It's a bit of a weird one
I'd pick Bioshock but I don't know if that qualifies either

Bioshock is not a rpg.
Depends a bit. Are we talking FPS/RPG hybrids? or first person RPGs? I do make the distinction between them, as in System shock 2 being a first person RPG, Deus EX being an fps/rpg Hybrid.
if it is only hybrids, then Deus ex, followed by HR and Bioshock.
if it encompasses RPGs that are in first person:
5) Bioshock
4) Fallout: New Vegas
3) Deus Ex: HR
2) Vampire the masquerade: Bloodlines
1) System Shock 2
