[CompassNorth]

How is a game better than itself?

You know what I meant! D:

Bunch of plebs in this thread.

PlaneScape: Torment. Duh.
or Baldurs Gate 2. You know back when BioWare made GOOD games.

It's really difficult to say what is the greatest PC game of all time, since there have been many extremely good games through time...

So, i will name them by genre:

RPG: Baldur's Gate II/Fallout 2 (tied). Actually anything made by Bioware and Black Isle back in the day

RTS: The first Company of Heroes, the pinnacle of RTS gaming. Starcraft is so overrated. The new Company of Heroes sucks also...

Turn Based Strategy: XCOM Enemy Uknown(1993, not the crappy remake)/ Jagged Alliance 2. also tied for first place.

FPS: Crysis. The first, the rest are crap. It didn't have only amazing graphics, it had good gameplay too. Plus the multiplayer was good, but nobody played it because its hardware requirements were steep at the time of release.

Third person shooter: Max Payne. The first, although the second was nice too, the first is an example of how to do a noir game right...

Adventure: Now this is a difficult category, so i will go with the popular choice, Grim Fandango

Action Adventure: Assasin's Creed II. By far the best Creed game, with an incredible presentation and attention to detail. A wonderful game. Too bad all the sequels are crap...

I never understood the greatest PC title ever. I mean, a console's best title has a much smaller and distinct library available. With the PC, we have clear decades full of titles to choose from, all of which offer something particularly unique or great.

Yeah this, i would have no idea on picking one game out as the "Greatest", i've played so many great PC games that to pick one of em out as the greatest would be impossible.

>Only one person mentions Counter Strike
>GTFO.
For me, the greatest games are:
Counter Strike 1.6
Half Life 1/2
Portal
Fable: The Lost Chapters
Baldurs Gate 2
Diablo
Elder Scrolls games (up to Oblivion, Skyrim can blow me)
First few Worms games (Worms Armageddon, Worms World Party, Worms Revolution is pretty ok, too).
Doom of course
Duke Nukem
Unreal Tournament 99'
Quake 3 Arena
Age of Mythology
Age of Empires 3
Umm...And that's all I got off the top of my head.

Roller Coaster Tycoon, Diablo LOD, Fable TLC, and Doom.

Roller Coaster Tycoon is probably my fav though. What other old school game lets you build death machines that fly off the rails and get people killed?

Riven, Command & Conquer, any of the Civilization games, the first KOTOR, Mass Effect 1,2,& 3, Warlords...

 

[AceWarhead]

Brood War
