I think it is and I haven't even played it.

It has the looks, the story, the action, the lenght, the controversity, is glitch-free (a rarity among PC games), gets great free upgrades, ect. (I got this info from the reviews)

Ironically it doesn't even make use of DX11 and looks better than 90% of all "DX11 supporting" PC games out there.

Unfortunately my PC is a little to weak to run the game enjoyably but I have to say I'm a little envious on those who can max it out.

Simply put, I think this is the defining PC game this year after which all other PC games should aspire after.

It would be nice if the game came out for the Wii-U too.

Nope, modern warfare 3 is still set to come out. And MW3 will be the best.

I wouldn't just call it the PC GOTY I'd call it GOTY beyond all else...of course this is GS where somehow GoW3 has better graphics than Metro 2033 PC...so it won't happen.

- The Witcher 2

- Total War Shogun 2

- Red Orchestra 2

Those and BF3 are the best pc games this year and some of the best on any system imo. 3 of those are exclusives to (atm)

Terraria was also very good,

Ive honestly been going back and forth for Total War Shogun 2 and The Witcher2 for GOTY for most the year, cant pick what was better, both are very good.

Shogun 2: Total War. I know I will be playing Shogun 2 continually for years, at least till Rome 2 comes out. I can't say the samr for The Witcher 2, despite it being an incredible game.

I wouldn't think so, I mean I haven't played the witcher 2 but I played part 1 and if part 2 is like part 1 it's going to be a split between the people that like that type of game and people that don't like it and will use this game to as their reason why.

Probably not. Seems like it has been completely forgotten by everyone except diehard PC fans. At this rate I'm not even sure it will get nominated for Best RPG, let alone GOTY. Witcher 2 just seems like a failure. Ohwell, who needs short and linear little RPGs with little to no replay value like that when amazing games like Dark Souls exist. Hell, I'm not even a fan of Skyrim but it still looks leagues better than Witcher 2. Harsh but true words.

I happen to disagree. I think it's the best game all platforms included to come out in the last four years.

Love the world, the characters, the story is actually very good. The graphics are amazing, the combat is fluid, fast and fun. I also like the fact that CD Project Red is updating the game with new side quests and extras for FREE.

I agree, but I put Dark Souls in the same category as the Witcher 2. Both are very interesting games but are nothing to brag about.

Before even playing it, only by looking at screenshots, i knew the game would be epic. Built a pc for it and not regretting one bit. Amazing game but not better than dark souls.

It'll be a toss up between Shogun 2 and The Witcher 2 with a few other games.

well, to be honest, it's my game of the year so far and I don't need a website to tell what is and what isn't my game of the year. I get the "everyone's got their opinion" crap, but that does not mean I need anyone to tell me whether or not a game lived up to my expectations.

Witcher 2 for me was around 25 hours long and I did pretty much everything I came across across. Dark Souls was 49 hours and I didn't lose too much time to deaths. Honestly I'd say Witcher 2 is more linear and shorter than Dark Souls. Better is subjective. I don't know which I preferred personally, both were excellent. Also if we're going by exclusives it's between Witcher 2 and Shogun 2. I think BF3 is better than both but it's multiplat. edit: as mentioned below on one playthrough it's more linear but because of the split paths after act 1 Witcher 2 probably has more replay value. Though Dark Souls plays quite well on the second playthrough as well since there is also 2 end game story paths but they're largely the same.

*facepalm* The Witcher 2 is neither short or Linear. It also has a lot of replay value because the game turns out different depending on your choices throughout the game. Next time troll harder.

Yes really. Nier for me was only 5 hours shorter than that and that game by RPG standards is considered very short by a lot of people.

Yes it is. I said it was short, which it is. I said it is linear, which it is. I said it has little replay value, which it does.
