Favorite open-world shooters

Had a lot of fun with the STALKER games and Far Cry 3. I'd like a single-player game.
Do you guys have any recommendations for single-player shooters like these?
Games I tried but didn't get into: Arma 3 (too detailed/realistic). I like realism, but Arma is a bit hardcore. Escape from Tarkov -- loved the guns and early days, but too hardcore for me now and I don't want a multi-player game. Doom, Quake, etc. Not into the arcade FPS any more.

Homefront: the Revolution has it's merits. Not the greatest thing since sliced bread but it's decent. Forget the original Homefront though. It's a very linear and short Call of Duty copy. If I can finish a game in six-eight hours on the first run through then it's very short.
Neither are as open world as the Fallout, Far Cry, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series.
If you add in melee oriented open worlds then that adds Mad Max, Assassin's Creed, and the Lord of the Rings Middle Earth titles.
All of the above games except the Homefront & Fallout series are third person perspective too.

I like those games where you can see the spent cartridge come out and hear it when it tings on the ground
There's a guy named Smoke on Twitch who plays Escape from Tarkov. He's pretty fun to watch. He goes in solo and kills all. It's his job and he's on for hours every day, though. I can't play with people like that, especially in a full loot ffa game.
I would say and likely easily my favorite all time has to be the Half Life series,so odd that with so many people wanting another ,Valve just sits there making millions with Steam instead.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
FallOut 3 New Vegas. It`s shooter for me—not RPG. Sorry) FallOut 4 is not bad too.I didn't play it. Thanks for recommendation.
I'm currently playing through Far Cry 5.
Fallout 4 and/or Destiny 2 are not bad options as well. Farcry, Borderlands, Ghost recon ghostlands, The Division.
Whoever was responsible for the optimization of that game deserves two bonuses. Running it on a 970 on Ultra and averaging 64 FPS. Feels even better than The Witcher 3 in the optimization department, and that's saying something.
Pro tip, spec rifles and get yourself a combat shot gun.....and buy shot gun shells at every opportunity...
Sniping is also terrific, but learn to shoot free hand, much more lethal than using that computerized targeting system.
2ndary spec, heavy weapons to get the computer guided missle launcher. Upgraded there is nothing in game you can't kill quickly at range with it.
Two other tips, invest early and often into stealth, you will thank me later when you can run stealthed in combat armor.
Do not neglect Charisma! Try to put at least 4 or 5 points into it, get the bobblehead and spend 1 more to get 6 points and the local leader perk.
You can easily add 3 or 4 more Charisma points with gear. With a nominal 10 charisma you will pass tons of chat challenges which really opens up your options on who you won't have to shoot. (I "talked" my way past a death claw once)
Also, with local leader you plant and harvest muti fruit at a half a dozen or more settlements, and soon you'll be able to sell them for thousands daily, and have enough caps to buy anything you need.
Did I mention how much I love this game?

I think that could be a career after retirement for grumpy old bastards, downloading into the latest survivalist game to become one of the old curmudgeon NPCs.
I got a cheap copy of Max Payne 3 on ps3 a couple of weeks ago and tried playing it and even though its 3rd person and not 1st person I still had trouble. So I fired up my MP3 that I bought on the pc when it released and I was able to get the reticle on 2-4 enemies and fire faster than I was able to get 1-2 on the ps3 version.
Oh btw have you played Max Payne 3 or Deus Ex Human Revolution? Not open world shooters but still fun nonetheless.

I don't really have a favorite shooter but in Third Person i say the older Ghost Recon games are the closest to my favorite shooters. And in First Person, Metro and Stalker.
Deus Ex is another great series.
I see you played FC3, did you play FC2? if not, totally check it out, that's my favorite FC so far. Even with it's few issues it managed to get my interest more than newer games in the series.
Also, as much as i say #fuckkonami, i recommend Metal Gear Solid 5: Phantom Pain, and if you have access to the older MGS games then even better. At least MGS4 if you happen to have a PS3 which still looks great today.
Tomb Raider and Rise of the Tomb Raider, totally recommend those if you haven't played them. Not open world either, but just like Deus Ex and Metro, maps are big enough to encourage exploration.
