PC Games of 2018 * LONG LIVE THE KING

@tryit:

more like 90% but yeah.

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

90% of what? A game, all games, 90% is your grade average, what?

list the AAA games you've made. I'm almost 46, I don't believe things people say on the internet. Shit, Ive met Trump, Shinji Mikami, Jesus Christ, Mike Tyson and Wolverine if I was to simply believe what people tell me on internet.

I don't care about your tastes or assessment of entertainment. Why would I? You aren't buying any entertainment for me.

90% of AAA titles are garbage.

For a long time I had no idea how much we where getting screwed. Then when the indie scene exploded around 2013 I could see the RADICAL difference.

examples of an Ad Hominem Fallacy: 'I can say whatever I like about AAA titles even though I have never made one, but YOU are required to have made a AAA game in order to have any opinion about playing them'

seriously though...who with a straight face says 'only those who have made a AAA game can have an opinion about playing them'

who says that!

hyperbole and stereotyping, nice.

And I don't want to put words in your mouth, but if those games (and countless others on PC) are not his or your's cup of tea, then what are? The decaying alleged-AAA games? How disappointing have those been getting these past few years? I mean don't get me wrong I am totally going to get me some Far Cry 5, but ME: Andromeda? Uncharted 4? I mean the only good game on console people still mention is Horizon: Zero Dawn and Zelda. Never really hear about anything else out, only what is apparently coming and might be good.

Let's see what PC gets:

Strategy games, including: real-time, turn-based, real-time tactical, turn-based tactical, 4X, action-strategy, and probably a few more.

RPGs: classic DnD, action-rpg, rpg-action, massively multiplayer, JRPG (more and more each year, though still not at console levels)

Action: shooters, first-person action games, tactical shooters (Rainbow six-type stuff), third-person action, action-adventure, stealth games

Independent games: PC pretty much has them all. Console might get a few when they can afford the insane and rediculous price of entry to publish on console. Thank God PC is an open platform and literally anyone can make a game for it. That can't be said for consoles.

Simulations: does console have any non-arcade sims? DCS A-10? Falcon 4.0?

City Builders and micromanagement: how do those fare on console? Factorio, War for the Overworld? No? Damn, that sucks. Even when you do get one like Cities: Skylines, it's so much better on PC with mods, mouse, keyboard, etc.

Fighting Games: consoles have more, but PC is getting better

Sports games: PC might not get them all, but there are good ones on PC all the same.

Let's not forget that PC also is infinitely backwards compatible, looks great, get's a huge selection of free to play games, game prices are lower in general, and modifications. Oh, forgot about the new Skyrim where you guys have to pay for mods. My bad!

PC has all genres, and exceeds at them well. Sure, a couple times each year PS4 gets some artsy or cool game, but outside of a handful (and by that, I mean a few) of exclusives there is nothing to miss out. I mean what did I miss out on last year? Horizon: Zero Dawn? The Last Guardian?

No thanks I'll stick to PC.

Not that there is anything wrong with console, it's just you seem to be working with bad information, wanted to help you out with that.

I would sooner play games like Into the Breach, Halcyon 6, Factorio, Elite: Dangerous, and so forth for the rest of my life than have AAA game development carry on the way they have been.

90% is about right, I'd say. Finding a AAA game that actually keeps me interested and has the feel of quality is a 1-in-10 situation these days.

Yawn, bunch of multiplats and uniteresting exclusives. I'll stick with the ps4, thank you.

Okay, in that case, most of your playstation games are mediocre games that I probably wouldn't spend over 5 dollars on. Bloodborne was the only great one, in my opinion. Well, Everybody's Golf might be okay, but we have plenty of arcade golf games on the PC that are also pretty fun, so meh.

So, what exactly was your original point?

You replied to Mbirdy stating: "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?"

I was replying to your statement here. My point was, that stating that the PC library is mostly composed of MOBAS and MMOS is a factually incorrect statement, and perpetuating false lies on purpose is quite the egregious act. Then, on top of that, you put a negative spin on indies(and let's be honest, that's exactly what you were doing).

And then, you gloated about how the PS4 gets all these games, and list a bunch of games that are completely on par with indie games, as if they are somehow better just because they are on Playstation. And, of course, I simply said it was a bit hypocritical; that's all.

hum... cool?

Again, read all the conversation before typing. In some previous post I added the word "exclusives" and, in that sense, the exclusivity of PC games over consoles are mostly composed of MMO/MOBAs and indies. Its not a lie. There's barely any AAA/AA game on PC that consoles dont get, and even the few one always end up on consoles sooner or later.

And then, you gloated about how the PS4 gets all these games,

Someone saying he has a preference for AAA/AA games is gloating now? Come again?

and list a bunch of games that are completely on par with indie games,

What do you mean "on par"? Dragon Quest and Everybody's Golf arent on par with indies when it comes to marketing and budget, they're AA games. When it comes to quality, thats subjctive, and that was the point of my reply, my point of view on the matter of AAA/AA vs indies but, again, as the spoiled hermit you are you became defensive as if my opinion on the matter hurt your precious PC feelings or somethin

as if they are somehow better just because they are on Playstation.

What? Jesus, thats not even close to what was implied. MBirdy said that consoles (NOT PS4 only) only got one or two AAA/AA games a year, my list was only to prove him wrong, nothing else. In no way, shape or form did I ever implied they were better then your precious indie games. I swear... this conversation is ridiculous because you seriously lack reading comprehension

And, of course, I simply said it was a bit hypocritical; that's all.

So let me get this staright, I'm an hypocrite for having a preference for AAA/AA games and not care that much about indies, wich is on the game library front one of the few things PC has over consoles... ok kid, move along

Due to lack of choice.

Cutscene (where the budget went), QTE, mediocre cover shooting from 2006, repeat.

Beat that garbage in one day then what

PC is mostly MOBA / MMOs.

I just called Jesus and he confirmed it. Reputable source.

Oh. Well, if Jesus says so, then OK...

Can't fix stupid.

Well it seems by the games that you have an older system. And if you wanted to play a game that is on all platforms, wouldn't you want the best possible version?

Do not talk about what you read on the internet. It is okay if you do not know much about PCs, just say you are ignorant on PCs and do not want to learn and move on.

@Diddies: Or what? You'll beat me up?

LOL ?

I talk about what I've experienced in my life. You don't like it? Eat a bag of dung for all i care.

I might beat you up. lol You haven't experienced because you read what other people who don't know what they are talking about say on the internet.

And you can prove this?

Seems like you read a post of mine, never experienced life in my skin, and believed what you made up in your head.

I haven't experienced life in your skin. You are correct. However, I have experienced life with a PC which this discussion is about and I am speaking from experience that you are talking out of your ass.

False, I went and I came back

I might be Floyd Mayweather getting ready to beat that ass again. lol

I am joking. I use to be around a lot more when these forums were way more popular around 2007-2010. I just jump on here every once in awhile to see how it is going and some news here and there.

And I am speaking with my life's experience that I have bought games on Steam and then had to Google a fix in order to get them to work. Its in the game's forums on Steam, thats where I was told what to Google. Your brain is your ass and you are a liar.

Lol you clrealy didnt see my previous post where I proved I play on PC so what exactly is my lack of choice?

Cutscene (where the budget went), QTE, mediocre cover shooting from 2006, repeat.

I like that. You have a problem with it? Too bad. Cry moar

Beat that garbage in one day then what

Then play it again somewhere down the line when I feel to. I do that all the time

Yup, started with PC years ago, now consoles only.

My PC is not that powerfull, no, so what? You gonna tell me you're only a PC gamer if you have the latest hardware? Cause then you would make a fool out of yourself when a statistic a while ago showed the vast majority of Steam accounts werent from powerful hardware so there would go your "X million steam users" argument out the window

And if you wanted to play a game that is on all platforms, wouldn't you want the best possible version?

Personaly I prefer to have a physical copy of my games rather then the best version of the game. Also, if prettier graphics/performance demand me to fork a good buck when I can play the exact same game and have more or less the same experience then I'm fine by having the lesser version. I play games, not graphics. Hell, I still love to play PS2 games from time to time

NOPE!

having said that, for me personally console focused games are almost all exclusively garbage. I have no intrest in them.

Now some of my favorite games went from PC to console but I dont consider those to be a console focused game.

what I am getting at, is that for me, if i had a console I would really struggle to find any good games to play.

Why are you putting words in my mouth? I never said that or was even thinking of that. All I was going to get to is I wouldn't blame you to play on console since your console may be more powerful than your PC in terms of graphics. I for one want the best possible experience in terms of graphics/fps and will fork out the money up front for a good experience. I use to mainly play only on PS and now it is hard for me to even play as the motion blur and fps really mess with me on console games. I really use to think console games looked really good until I got onto max settings on PC and even great looking games on console do not look that great to me anymore.

Also, you are correct about the hardware reported to steam. However, the field of samples is so large that the people who have hardware more capable then the PS4/Xboxone, far exceeds the number of consoles out there. But again, this isn't even what I was getting at, but you failed to show the whole picture of this statistic and I don't want you to leave parts of the story out.

Well then why are you the one who can't get your games to play and I don't have problems with getting my games to boot? Sounds like you are the idiot. I am the one with the ass for a brain? Don't be stupid. I am far superior than you. lol

Yes, you and a lot of people with low standards

This is why "AAA" gaming is in the shit state it is today

You enable publishers to churn out safe, derivative mediocrity

Yup, a superior smegmite.

PC went too far. PC Lamer can't measure upcoming greatness.

@m3Boarder32: Same here. My rig is decent but i just got an Xbox One X and the system is amazing.

I have heard really good things about Into the Breach. I really want to try that game. :)

I like what I like

Q_Q moar

Now seriously, do you realize I play games heavy on gameplay, right? If you've known me you would know I'm a souls fan, a DMC fan, a Ninja Gaiden fan, a bayonetta fan, a Hitman fan, a Deus Ex fan, a DOOM fan... I could go on and on. Look how poor these games are on gameplay... but yeah, I also enjoy Uncharteds and God of Wars. One likes what he likes. Putting all the cinematic games in one basket is childish and nothing short of a tantrum of butthurt morons on internet forums

what is funny is a bunch of kids chest beating about how cool they are that they play a 'real game' like lets say Batman Arkham, which anyone who can mash buttons can play, are all making fun of people playing RimWorld.

oh the irony.

I didn't put anything in one basket, the genre did that itself by being endless safe rehashes with the story changed

It doesn't matter what else you play, if you support the practice of making lazy mediocrity it will only get worse until it can't sustain itself

That's a silly myth and you should feel stupid for spreading it. There are lots and lots of old games in my Steam library that require some heavy technical tinkering and still run horribly on new hardware or even just on a 16:9 monitor. Getting the Deus Ex games to work in a decent way for example was more than a hassle and I think I still haven't managed to run Sacred 2 to this day. If that's 99.9% perfect to you then you're an obviously blind fanboy or started PC gaming like a year ago.

Dont worry, I'll keep supporting these games with my money just to make you even more salty

Right-o .... more like you are putting enphasis on 1 or 2 games (1%) just to make an argument.

not worth the time to humour any further.

Expensive movie rentals at $60 a time

Just for spite, shows the quality of person you are, so now everyone here knows

Oh, and btw, the problem with the AAA industry arent the cinematic games that barely anyone outside of Sony even does anymore (thats why the new SP Star Wars game from Visceral was cancelled). The problem with the AAA industry is the "games as services" model riddled with microtransactions and loor boxes wich started on your precious PC, so thx for that

Bookmarked this list, going to try out a few of these cheers

Never understood this, when using a controller how would you know what version of the game your playing?

No, the quality of games was tanking long before games as a service came around due to idiots preordering anything based on superficial faked shit like E3 trailers or having no choice on their own system, enabling weaker and weaker releases with less and less innovation

Microtransactions started on pay-to-not-wait and pay-to-win mobile/social media games which are a completely different ecosystem mostly of idiots that don't know the value of money or think they can attention seek on the internet over how much money they spent

Since console owners have almost no choice or alternative within genres they buy everything day one. Preorders enabled microtransactions, microtransactions enabled seasons passes, those combined enabled loot boxes, the publishers realised how much they can harvest the console idiots that buy card packs since they had no standards for the other two

I like the way you say "your precious PC" right after claiming you play on everything, it's almost as if it's a bullshit cover

Consoles are toys for children that should be at most a secondary system for a grown man, unless your life is so pathetic you can't get something as simple as a PC sorted. Console developers can only make a pathetic attempt at survival by artificially gating about 2 average games a year behind owning them

TDLR version:

"bwah bwah people like what I dont like bwah bwah"

So many words and all I can see is

TDLR version:

"I have no arguments and got owned so here's my assertion of butthurt"

So many words you didn't read and can't understand

I understand you're a self-entitled fella who whines way too much when people like what he doesnt, alright

No, knowingly contributing to making gaming shit by paying full price for mediocrity was the argument

You have nothing so are resorting to spinning it into "what I like" which has nothing to do with it

You think it gives you the excuse to label me which in turn might make stupid people believe you "won" on the internet

And my argument was that it's my money and I think the games you dont like are worth the money I'll pay them for. I'll do whatever I want with my money, and it wont be you or your kind of self-entitled person who's gonna tell me what I should or shouldnt do with my money and my tastes so, again, cry some more

Honestly while i love pc strategy games since it's my favourite genre, other than that pc has really no AAA exclusives that will set the bar high. It's mostly a multiplat/ indie platform. Good for pc gamers, but others will care little.

We know. When it's really all you get for your exclusives, you really have no choice.
