PC Games of 2018 * LONG LIVE THE KING

PC Gamer made a very solid list of all PC games coming in 2018 (some of them coming in 2019 though) sorted by genre

https://www.pcgamer.com/new-games-2018/

It's amazing how solid the line up is this year. It's amazing the jump in quality of indie offerings in particular that now provide not only new types of gameplay but a solid graphical presentation as well. Do you remember indies 5 years ago? One can barely look at them without cringing because how poor graphics looked. But today I am more excited about some indies than AAA releases. How the times changed ugh.

But this year we getting it all: AAA multipat releases, cool exclusives, Sony and XBOX shared exclusives, and more. There was never a better time to be a PC gamer than now XD if not for bitcoiners lol

Anyone who isn't a PC gamer is missing out. Once you go PC, there is no going back.

False, I went and I came back

Good list, in spite of it not being comprehensive and having token inclusions that are (1) already available; or (2) multiplatform games that aren't designed with PC as the focus. Plus the inclusion of the likes of Death Stranding and Star Citizen just make me chuckle.

A game not on the list worth keeping an eye out for: Witchfire, developed by The Astronauts (former People Can Fly/Epic developers).

You underestimate our power of begging XD

To a device that is completely playable on PC and has far less games.

Lets be honest, you dabbled at best.

I went PC... I went back to consoles in no time

Dont believe me?

Maybe those games are the ones he cares about? Having a library composed mostly of MMOS/MOBAs and indies arent everyone's cup of tea ya know?

Ha. And now you want to come back again.

So, did you sell your PC or something or do you just switch between your PC and console?

Sometimes I play PC for that odd indie game that hasnt come to consoles... yet. Most of my gaming is done on consoles. I just dont like playing on the PC for some reason, and most of its library does not interest me one bit. I also prefer to buy physical copies of my games, something PC has already abandoned

Well...so technically you didn't go back from PC and UssjTrunks is not wrong. Just saying. Go PC doesn't mean abandoning consoles.

And for playing odd indie games, your digital library is very from being indies lol

Eh still up in the air.

and if I did, I’d still buy HDR and Atmos Games first

But your'e also a hopeless fanboy who has literally stated 24 fps is better or simply does not make a difference (going against human biology) and your HDTV makes XBOX360 better than PC.

Your opinion can not be trusted.

I love me some RTS and FPS games. So yeah, there's never a better place for me to game on than PC.

I play the occasional console exclusive but for a deep FPS or RTS game, I'll always return to PC.

Maybe? I mean, I can't imagine being so limited the only games I like would be Gears and Forza/Halo but hey-ho.

Being abit intellectually dishonest though aren't you? the whole stereotypical MMOs/MOBAs comment. Even if you took those genres away the PC library would still be much MUCH larger. Then you have the emulation and 99.9% perfect backwards compatibility...

To say that he wouldn't find games to play outside of that stereotype is ridiculous, who knows, could discover genres he never looked at before.

It's not like the Xbox provides a single unique game moving forward, so there is nothing but downsides. other than what? cheaper and plug n play.... sure sacrifice alot for that.

Are you serious? Top sellers list. There is 1, count 'em 1 MMO, and 0 MOBAS.

That cliche is about as true as saying consoles have nothing but movie games.

Never said that.

now go back to gaming on your GTX 670

Not really a lie. I should have specified I wasnt talking about multiplatform games when I said "library" but it isnt a lie that when it comes to exclusives (i.e. games I cant play on consoles) most PC games are composed of MMOs/MOBAs (or some other type of heavy onlinegames ) and some indies that often come out sooner on PC before consoles. If one wants single player AAA or AA games, sorry, but PC definitely isnt the platform to go to, unless its multiplatform, but those games can be played on consoles.

See reply above ^^^

most those games are multiplatform and I was talking about exclusives wich I should have specified in my previous post

@Vatusus: 99% of AAA games are multiplatform.

Let's not beat around the bush here.

"PC Lacks these movie/cut scene focused eye candy like games made by 1st party studios" is essentially what it boils down to.

Because when I look at Sony's Library in particular the only non-bought exclusives are heavily focused on this, HZD being about the exception.... but its repetitive mission structure and limited gameplay loop prevent it from being in the realms of the top open world games.... I treat it in a similar category as ubisoft games personally... pretty, but limited.

Sony has a template, in which they now won't deviate from (rarely) because like Ubisoft... it works.

Microsoft has no exclusives now, and they focused on MP.... going up against PC in MP is impossible.

Nintendo - Very well balanced..... not reliant on "ooo shiny" , good mix of SP and MP (local and online) games ... focus on gameplay.

So yea, if I was to put 3 consoles against PC... it would total up to some Sony AAA "I'm like... totally movie quality man!" and then Nintendo actually carrying the 3.... in which case, Emulation is never far behind.

So, you just admitted PC has all the multiplats, and has exclusives of its own to boot. You do realize 5 of the games on that list are exclusive right now, right? And only one of them is an MMO.

What Mbirdy said was entirely the truth, and your argument is just plain wrong.

You can prefer console gaming all you want, but I'm not sure how you guys can just boldly lie about such things and make claims that just aren't true.

I did. I actually started gaming on PC back in the PS1/PS2 days with old Resident Evil games, Max Payne, Project IGI, Return to castle wolfenstein, GTA Vice City, etc, etc but when I first played Devil May Cry on PS2 at my neighbours house was when I first bought a console for that game specifically and rarely went back to PC. There was a time when my PS3 broke that I started gaming heavily on PC again but I always craved for console exclusives, specifically PS exclusives so I bought another PS3. I just prefer playing on consoles, thats it but its like hermits cant comprehend such a thing if one doesnt care about shinny graphics or better performance. I just care about games, nothing else and consoles always had the ones I wanted

And for playing odd indie games, your digital library is very from being indies lol

actually my library is mostly composed of old classic titles cause they are easier to buy on PC than finding a cheap physical copy of them. But I still have plenty of indie games in there

So you're saying 4 SP games in some top best sellers equal or surpass the vast amount of AAA/AA SP games that get released on consoles every month... are you serious right now?

You mean 1-2 a year...

Nope

On the AAA/AA SP front last year alone PS4 had:

Horizon Zero Dawn

Persona 5

Uncharted: TLL

Yakuza 0

Yakuza Kiwami

Gravity Rush 2

Nioh (was a temporary exclusive but its no different then most PC indie games)

Gran Turismo Sport

MLB: The Show 17

Crash Bandicoot N Sane Trilogy

Everybody's Golf

Dragon Quest Heroes II

And I'm probably forgetting some

Hardly "1-2 a year"

Those are the games I like and judging by their commercial success, many others like. This "blah blah movie games blah blah" forum discussion nonsense doesnt matter one bit outside of this cocoons we call forums

@Vatusus: please of that list, the only AAA exclusive is HZD and maybe uncharted which is just a expansion to a horrible movie game... the rest is either incredibly niche games or games that are also on pc( DQ2, nioh and crash for sure, and pretty sure some of those Yakuza games are also on pc...) or persona 5, that is just a weird japanese dating sim that most likely will be on pc aswell!

I completely agree.

Which is why these games are not by any stretch of the imagination a bigger deal than the countless other games out there.

For me they are. Never once implied they were better than the others outside of my opinion.

I said AA aswell, wich the other games clearly are

I mean, so you discount PC indies, then gloat about a bunch of lesser known Playstation games. Isn't that a bit hypocritical? How many people do you think have heard of Everybody's Golf or Dragon Quest Heroes?

hey men, when you already got nothing, you gotta brag with everything you got. don't you understand men. They all told him his playstation was the best.

Rule n1 as console gamer, always make sure to exclude everyting the competition have so you can actually look somewhat on par.

Rule n2, repeat rule n1 until nothing is left

Cool. Found some cool shit and put it in my Steam wishlist.

Jesus, you hermits are dense as hell. I discounted indies as my personal opinion. Learn the context of the conversation before jumping the gun like every other spoiled hermit who cant comprehend some people do not like what PC offers over consoles. I have stated several times that no indie game has ever managed to hook me like AAA/AA games do, and trust me, I played most of the "more known" and "most praised" indie games out there. My reply was aimed at a hermit who couldnt understand how someone would prefer consoles over PC and I responded "maybe the games on consoles are the ones he's interested about" wich correlates with a personal opinion. Context is important

How many people do you think have heard of Everybody's Golf or Dragon Quest Heroes?

Are u serious? These games are HUGE in japan and see a considerable success outside of Japan aswell, especially within the weeboo community. If they werent known, how do you think they got the many sequels and spin-offs they did?

ugh, you guys really need to start reading all the conversations prior to a post before typing

I really do not like PC Gamer magazine.

they spent way to much time covering multiplatform games. so called AAA quality is NOT what a lot people think it is.

@m3Boarder32: False, I went and I came back"

Same here. Nearly 200 games on Steam. Just do not want upgrade stuff. I didn't get sucked in by it as a friend and PC gaming enthusiast told me i would 4 years ago. I like my consoles.

not to sell PC games to you, but for 26 years my upgrade path is not that big of a deal.

Every 3-4 years buy a new computer, every 1/2-2 years buy a new video card.

However! now I dont even have to do that. now its more like 4 years no video card upgrade

@tryit: thrilled for you. I still don't want to search for what is preventing a game I buy from running. I'm all for people liking whatever they like, even weab shyte turn based jrpgs lol

ok I just have to dial up my point.

a developer is not making a game when they LITERALLY are just slapping on a skin to an existing game.

there..I am done

You just did not do it correctly.

w

wrong thread.

to which I'll say, if you don't actually develop games WTF do you really know?

Its like sitting back and saying that a cop who hasn't drawn their weapon in 20 years on the force isn't really doing police work. We are all full of bullshit opinionated crap about things.

With that in mind, what games have you developed?

well more than you given that I am web developer.

but trust me, re-skinning an existing game is not as hard as making a game from scratch.

everyone should know that much

Why not

So zero actual AAA games, got it.

Being an armed security guard doesn't make a person equivalent to a combat soldier. Get off your pedestal kid.

I bet the new God of War will look awesome on PC..... oh wait?

more like 90% but yeah.

given the quality of indies these days, AAAs are a %^&*( unbelievable scam. horrid games by comparison frankly
