I don't care if it's on one of the consoles(like Left 4 Dead). What is the best PC game ever made? IMO it's Portal my favorite game ever.

The PC is known for Crysis, so i will give it some credit.

But it is just a standard shooter.

I would say the best PC game is Stalker: SoC. Or maybe like an older rainbow 6 game. Like raven shield.

There is no defined "best game ever made".

There are so many incredibly huge milestones available to be played on PC that defining one above the others is simply impossible.

Only counting all the contenders for the title would take a lot of time.

For me it would have to be Counterstrike. It's still fun to this day.

LOL what a troll. He literally just made that account.

What a loser.

I made the account to ask about a hardware problem, but I've always checked out GS for reviews and news and such. It's a nice opportunity still to partake in discussions. I don't see how my account being new discredits my opinion.

Arr, I agree with this.

I'd give Starcraft, Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl and Battlefield 2 honourable mentions.

1/ Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising - until it got overrun with cheaters, graphics looking a little dated now, but gameplay was very good 2/ Battlefield 2 - graphically quite pleasing on the eye, would have beaten JO:TR without the bunny hoppers, nade spam, commander UAV 3/ Crysis - graphically the best, gameplay not the best It really is impossible to say THE one and only best game, obviously I'm into FPS games, but play others too.

Eh, you can easily shoot bunny hoppers, the nade spam is annoying, but sometimes avoidable (like not going straight forward into Karkand), and I don't know what you mean by commander UAV.
Unless you mean the constant spotting of enemies that popped up a year or so ago. Which is fine, if they know who their spotting.

I just called troll because Crysis isnt anywhere close to being the best PC game. Best graphics, yes.

But the gameplay is average and the story is cut and paste.

If you truly think that it is the best game then fine. I withdraw my past statement.

Why did some servers kick/ban bunny hoppers? It looked stupid and was really lame part of the game, especially Dolphin divers. Don't know about the Commander and his UAV??? Commander had the following: UAV - lasted a short while hovering over and showing the enemy your current location, when UAV died, it charged up again and was able to deploy another. Scan - sweeps over the map giving a burst of intel of hostile locations, good for when the last guy went to go and hide somewhere so the game couldn't finish. Vehicle Drop Supply Drop And was able to spot targets - that was annoying, "Enemy Hostiles spotted" repeated 20 million times.

The story is not very good, but the game-play is way above average. MW, that is average. Crysis is not average. It is also one one the highest rated PC games on gamespot, so i don't see why did you think i was trolling.

good anwser. I don't care if you put your top five favorite games or your best game of all time. I was looking for what people think is the best PC game(s) ever. But at any rate your right.

while i disagree with his trolling (you were not), crysis is only a milestone is graphics and physics in my opinion. i found the game bland, but to each his own. also take most big game review sites with a pinch of salt, hell they gave GTAIV a 10, when i felt it was only an 8 especially when compared to san andreas

Not one of the highest rated. Eg: oblivion is rated higher. "Average gameplay" is varied from user to user, i personally think crysis is average in an amount of how close to perfection the mechanics are. Eg: both mw and hl2 are not complicated but their gameplay is polished to perfection on what they do.

Don't know about the Commander and his UAV???

Commander had the following:

UAV - lasted a short while hovering over and showing the enemy your current location, when UAV died, it charged up again and was able to deploy another.
Scan - sweeps over the map giving a burst of intel of hostile locations, good for when the last guy went to go and hide somewhere so the game couldn't finish. Vehicle Drop
Supply Drop
And was able to spot targets - that was annoying, "Enemy Hostiles spotted" repeated 20 million times.

Yeah I know about the commander's UAV. I've had the game for five years :P

I don't understand what is annoying about it. I thought it's a great feature.

The random spotting is really annoying though, mostly when every second enemy spotted is just the default "Enemy Hostiles detected" line, not actually showing you any locations. But I only started seeing that within the last year or two. Which is wierd.

Bunny hoppers are kickable because, yeah, I admit it is irritating/looks stupid/etc., but my point is, it's not hard to movie your mouse, or get them in the head when they come down.
"Dolphin Diving" was removed in one of the first patches though.

Both MW and HL2 are linear and they guide your hand trough the game, so it leaves more room for polish sure. Crysis on the other hand is a more create yourself experience. it gives you the right tools and based on your skills and imagination you can have insane amount of fun with it, or just roll trough it like any other shooter. That's why i like it more, for me that makes a great game.

Arr, I enjoyed the gameplay of Crysis more than Halflife 2 and Modern Warfare. The idea of the suit, the vehicles, and the gun play all worked great.

Well i played 2 games the most of all. and those are Diablo 2 and Civilization 4 so i guess those are the best for me :D. I think counterstrike comes in at a close 3th as i used to play it from beta 5.2 to version 1.1. I love tycoons and squad/turn based combat like x-com too. Gz

Very difficult for sure, but some of my absolute favorites are Jedi Outcast, Morrowind, Bioshock, Deus Ex, The Sims, Rome Total War, Battlefield 1942, Company of Heroes, and Hearts of Iron II Doomsday.

The best pc game for me is the game I played the longest ever:

Dungeon Keeper 2

I played it as an RTS

I played it ala Sim City (My Dungeons) and just watched it grow

I romped in it ala FPS by entering a monster or worker imp.

I played it nonstop from 1999 until 2009 when I went up to Win 7 64-bit. If DK2 ran in Win 7, I'd still be playing it.

Best PC game EVER? That's like asking "what's your all time favourite song?" or "what is the meaning of life?". There can never be one answer.
