Who can do it better than IGN? Your top 25 PC games since 2006?

[Nalano]

So is the RPS Top 10 going anywhere or are you - quite understandably - too lazy to bother?

He said a couple weeks. Slow your roll, bro.

[Kadayi]

I have to ask, have you ever thought positively of anyone or anything?

The rate he's going he's not long for this forum. I wouldn't worry about him tbh.

[DaftPunk]

Are you implying he is going to get banned,but do we even have any mods on this boards,never saw one.

[Casimir Effect]

He won't be banned: he rarely insults anyone or does anything against The Rules. But you can only play the eternal pessimist for so long before you burn out or turn 21*. After a while you realise you sound like a broken record and have a reputation such that people tune you out. It'd be a shame as the guy has good input sometimes, just like Wizardry did.

*I kid, I kid

Hello, you may have been -- quite understandably -- too lazy to notice that the OP mentioned they'd collate this in two weeks?

edit: good lord, apparently I am far too slow with my burn.

I very well could be homeless by next week

[Drake Sigar]

3. Mafia 2 (Highly Under rated Game)

I think what really killed it for me was the lack of Free Ride Extreme.

Aren't only buyable things skins lol,he couldn't spent all 500$ on skins xD

[XAuTomaT1CX]

i actually calculated it and it's around 420$ ironic yes since i was high when i bought most of these skins

mostly i did 320$ on 47 skins (I own all the teemo skins except super teemo that skin sucks) 100$ on champions (110 next week) in total missing 15) you can get with ip (u earn from playing the game) but i wanted more of a variety and the new champs that came out

You can also purchase characters.

[Mohorovicic]

LoL, check. Teemo, check. Getting high, check.

[Prokroustis]

Although a top 10 from the past seven years is really hard considering the multitude of great titles, I'll try my best before recalling the other great games that should *definitely* be on my list, and then hating myself out of some ridiculous overblown importance given to such trivial things. Also, a supplementary list because disservice to the missing games and stuff.


Top 10 in alphabetical order:

Anno 1404
Dragon Age: Origins
Fallout: New Vegas
Gemini Rue
Gothic 3
Medieval 2: Total War
Neverwinter Nights 2 + MotB
Portal 2
Risen
To the Moon




Totally deserving and under no circumstances forced honourable mention, also in alphabetical order:

Assassin's Creed 2
Bastion
Bioshock
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Dishonored
Dwarf Fortress
Frozen Synapse
Hitman: Blood Money
Jade Empire
LOTR: The Battle for Middle-Earth 2
Mass Effect
Mass Effect 2
Minecraft
Portal
Starcraft 2
Team Fortress 2
The Binding of Isaac
The Witcher 2
Tropico 3


PS: We're talking about commercially released games I guess, or Frog Fractions, aka the best game evah would be the sole top 1.
PS2: Dwarf Fortress isn't included in the above statement. It is what it is.

Gothic 3 (I'm sure nobody else put this simply because you all forgot it came out as recently as 2006, ushering in the modern era of gaming. Right??)

Probably most remember its quite terrible release state and are unlucky to not having revisited it since it actually became a worthy Gothic sequel after the excellent community patches.

Seriously, this would be like going to the Freshwater Aquarium Club and complaining about the lack of salt water fish.

Keep your reefs out of my cichlids, kthxbye.

I've never played it with the fan patches. The geography of Gothic 3 was dynamite, and the spell effects were beautiful, but the combat sucked and sucked hard. I take it the fan patches fixed it? I thought about Risen, but Risen doesn't have enough content (1 and 1/2 towns) and unnecessarily gates the most powerful items. I haven't played Risen 2 yet.

Also, a paper on saltwater cichlids.

The fan patches fix a tremendous amount of stuff, and with alternative AI and balancing options, even the combat (to an acceptable degree ofc). Risen was indeed small but was so close to my all time favourite Gothic 2 it couldn't be missing from my list. I haven't played Risen 2 yet myself, mainly due to the DLC shenanigans. In time I will, and even if it turns out to be the weakest of Piranha Bytes', I'm positive I'll enjoy the heck out of it.

Ok, now I'm intrigued. Gonna read that.

[fiddlesticks]

I have to admit, I did forget that Gothic 3 came out as recently as 2006. It's a good game, but I still wouldn't nominate is as one of the ten best. Gothic 2, on the other hand, I would add in a heartbeat.

The Witcher.
