Vanquish best gameplay in a TPS ever?

Just talking about pure gameplay here, yes Gears and Uncharted 3 have incredible gameplay but I thought Vanquish was a cracking play and maybe didnt get the sales it deserved

the kinetic energy of the game was almost too much at times, I only just got round to playig hence this post

do you reckon it has the best gameplay in a TPS ever? the Japanese really are the best at pure gameplay IMO

I tryed the demo a couple of times and wasn't impressed.

It offers a more unique gameplay style than other TPSs. I enjoyed this game a lot. I hope E3 surprises me with an announcement for a sequel

Judging by the demo it certainly is fun, but Uncharted 2 is better IMO. I actually liked the training more than the level I played :P.

Its the Bayonetta of TPS games. People might not like it, but it is leaps and bounds better than any other offering in terms of gameplay.

I really don't get, this whole "best ever". Wouldn't it be better to say, "currently the best", as no one knows for how long till it gets dethroned. Just my nitpick at something I always seem to see here.

I don't agree that the Japanese are the best at gameplay, but Vanquish is definitely the king of tps.

Vanquish deinately introduces some new mechanics in the gameplay, but I couldnever get into it. Not saying I was bad at it, I just didn't really feel it was for me. I prefer Gears gameplay.

It is all based on opinion really. I think it's the best though.

Haven't played many TPS, but Vanquish was pretty fun, albeit pretty short.

Beat Vanquish on hard, and for all the things people say about pushing the genre forward I felt Uncharted 2 was smoother, and if you combined your movements and decisions with approriate weapon changes and melee, deeper too. Vanquish was clunky at times, and the bullet-time effect was a little irritating - shooting incoming missiles out of the air that are coming straight at you belongs back in the 2D side-scrollers.Kan0nF0dder

nope, not even in my top 100. I really don't understand why people are so impressed by it, is it because you can slide?

I'm willing to buy it if it becomes available through xbl games on demand.

Edit: wow, what a coincidence, I've just checked, & it seems it has been added to xbl games on demand couple of days ago (May 10, 2011).

I just bought it & downloading it now.

Vanquish Gameplay was good, but RE4/5's was better imo ^^

"Best third person shooter gameplay" isn't a very competitive field to begin with. Vanquish has interesting gameplay mechanics, that's for sure, but it still is held back by being a chest-high-wall shooter at its core.

I still don't understand why they don't make games that have "crouch" and "jump" buttons anymore. I found it insanely frustrating in Vanquish to see that my character was constantly jumping in cutscenes but was glued to the ground in actual gameplay.

Basically what I was going to say

Easily. Uncharted is my favorite series this gen without much trouble, but that is clearly a game more than the sum of its parts, as evident by Drake's Fortune, which is clearly the inferior game (although the gameplay is almost exactly the same, the melee is better imho). Vanquish is the funnest TPS I've ever played easily. The enemies, the shooting, the difficulty, everything was phenominal and polished. I wouldn't have sold it if it wasn't so short.

it may not be the best ever, but it is insanely awesome and arguably underrated.

For me it's Gears, but Vanquish is fast and exciting
