Which FPS game has the best Enemies Bestiary

[logan]

Doom 2, Quake 1, Heretic, Hexen.

I've been playing hexen with cleric on hard difficulty with fast monsters turned on and I dislike alot the enemies design.The game oversuse too much of Ettin and Centaur.they are extremely boring to fight against even with fast monsters enabled since they are fucking slow,also they are bullet sponge ! its take 6 melee attack to kill Ettin(imagine if pink demon from doom takes 6,10 shotgun bullets to die...now imagine if they are overused 90% of the game) and 10 to killl centaur(because they block some attacks).the game also discourage use of ranged weapon ammunition because there enemies that are impossible to fight as melee because their projectiles are too fast and deal alot of damage and because alot of places in the game are corridors making impossible to dodge their projectiles.

Hexen is a boring game.

I wouldn't say boring per se, but certainly more boring than its competitors and even its predecessor.

The Suffering,

But that was a tps with optional first person view mode, right? Was the fps any good? Usually they're pretty janky when they're tacked on.

No, fps mode standardly sucked, here doubly so since you would miss out on Torques various idle animations, some of which provided insight into his disturbed character.

I've played through it several times, and to me it plays very well as a first person shooter, there were no problems with aiming or looking up/down or anything. And even the (rare) parts where you had to jump (to get over obstacles or over gaps) worked well in first person viewpoint. And since you can switch view at literally any time (other than the during the cut-scenes), if you do prefer one viewpoint over the other, then you can just play it in that mod.

It has good atmosphere, good weapons (though not a large arsenal), a linear game-world that manages to fool you into thinking it's not really linear, and is very enjoyable. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes first (or third) person shooters, it's not one of the classics, but it's still well worth playing. It's sequel is good too, but inferior to the original, since it's shorter, introduces a weapon-carrying limit, and suffers from being set on the main-land; the horror/supernatural atmosphere works well in an isolated island setting (the first game), but not in a modern city within it's streets and the army (the sequel).

That's not my experience at all (control-wise I mean, not the third person animations of course). Mind you, I do play it on the original XBox (still my second favourite console), so perhaps (if you played the PC version) the PC version somehow has problems in first person mode? It's fine on the XBox's joypad.
