Spec Ops is also a corridor and cover shooter, nothing new there... however, the story and envinronment is what makes the game good, but it seems you developed a personal hate towards the game, so, whatever :)
I'm curious if you liked Dead Island, since the crafting in that game also doesn't make sense... stapling money to weapons or what ? =)

I don't hate the game. It's just not good as an actual game itself, the whole package. And honestly, neither was Spec Ops. Both games rely on the story and nothing else, but at least Spec Ops wasn't hyped to hell and back and didn't immediately get a cult fanboy following (that happened many months later). Besides, Spec Ops is probably the only game where you win by not playing it, and that's what makes it special and why it's on the list.
Dead Island... Eh... If you don't consider it to be a serious game, but used for some fun with your online buddies, it's okay. Mind you, even stapling money to weapons makes more sense than crafting in The Witcher 2. That one... jesus.

+1 Hates gonna hate.
If I personally enjoyed a game, I give 0 fucks on their opinion on it (Not that I need a reason to ignore the opinions of random people on the internet.) I personally enjoyed BioShock Infinite, if that makes me a bad person, then I guess I might as well go kill some puppies or something.

Everything except voice acting, graphics and middle segment of the storyline.

Im reading this,and I'm laughing,may I ask you if you are just joking or smth?indie games are not worth mentioning?dude pls...also no Crysis 3 and BF4? and instead you mentioned Tomb Raider wtih the 2d flame effect,LOL...also calling it the worst PC gaming year of all time?..that's laughable
Comment has been collapsed.
so Tomb Raider with the 2d Flame effect is worth mentioning but a game with amazing graphics and almost 0 bugs like Crysis 3 is not worth mentioning?what is wrong with you?also indie games are GAMES and they are part of the gaming calling them offtopic is stupid

linear corridor shooter aren´t always bad games...

Because Crysis is a graphics benchmarking tool :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Did you just sit and look at the flame, or did you actually play the game and liked it less than Crysis 3's gameplay/story? I never played Crysis 3 (and probably never will) but I've heard terrible things about that game... it sure is pretty though.

I like Civ V Brave New World. It makes me realized that Firaxis Games might actually made a really great game but decided to release it one part after another in a duration of 3 year because the way I look it now, Civ V is incomplete without Brave New World.
For 2014, I can't wait for Dark Souls 2.

So far, the Wolf Among Us and The Walking Dead Season 2 are amazing. So is Xcom: Enemy Within. I'm quite happy with 2013.

This thread is dumb you're just saying a majority of good widespread AAA titles are bad even though they were great and popular as well as critically acclaimed. Also choosing to not include indie games is stupid. Gaming isn't about AAA games. If that's your way of thinking then go play COD and stay out of the indie gaming community. It's better off without people like you trying to shit on everyone's parade. People like you ruin the gaming community with your BS negativity. GTFO hipster.

This isn't a topic about indie games. They are excluded here. Not because they're bad, but just because. You can open a different topic about indies in 2013 and we'll have a merry ol' time there.
(Also, hipsters like indies. COD kiddies do not. You got everything backwards.)

You ALSO have no idea what indie is. It means it comes from an independent studio. One that Doesn't receive funds from publishers. Not "2 guys made this game so it's indie" seriously man you are doing such injustice to this community and the gaming community as a whole. Just stop.
Comment has been collapsed.
No, that is bullshit. Torchlight 2 is indie. Just like Minecraft is indie, and Castle Crashers is indie, and that crappy game no-one will buy is indie. The fact that you included an indie game, but then claim we cannot counter you with indie examples is bullshit and makes anything you say about this list in particular invalid.

Indie literally means independently published. Additionally, consider if the developer functions as a publisher of another group's games, or if it has farmed out production of its games to another group.
If a group develops and publishes its own games, does not hire other groups to develop their games, and does not publish anyone else's games, it is an independent developer. Therefore, every single game they release is an Indie title.
Some development teams are owned by a publisher, but are given 100% autonomy. Runic Games, developers of Torchlight, are owned by Perfect World International. However, they have pledged not to dictate how Runic Games goes about its business. They provide distribution expertise, but do not tell Runic Games how to create their games. They make no demands of Runic Games. They allow Runic Games to retain their independence.
Runic Games continues to operate autonomously. They operate independently of the company who owns them, which is Perfect World International. Any game they produce in-house and publish in-house is an indie title. Therefore, Runic Games is an indie developer.

Like I said your thread is dumb and you're hating on all the popular stuff. You should close this thread and open a new one called "2013 in AAA pc game gaming, for hipsters" because that's essentially what you've done here.

No, you invited hatred into your thread because of your narrow minded point of view. Grow up please and figure your life out.

So broken that it pushed ALL projects back several months, including Mirror's Edge 2 (which I'm still hoping will come out in 2014, but you never know, and this being EA, they'll probably fuck up the parkour and make the game reliant on combat).

Papers, Please, 10000000, Gunpoint, Path of Exile, Hearthstone (Beta), Oozi, Runner 2... I think I have plenty of fun this year.

I dont think u were playing those games in 2012, spec ops was crap on pc cuz of its port from console the mechanics were crap, far cry 3 had a crap story with an annoying main character that totally dropped the ball half way thru the game and jst gave no explanation for what had happened around with fade to black screens that eventually didnt utilize half the play area. ME3 and Diablo 3 were crapped on by the community, me3 for poor story and diablo for boring game mechanics, looting and RMAH and lack of a good story. Xcom was released buggy, was good till its 2013 patches similarly with torchlight 2 user content patch and chivalry. Both of which are indie titles?
and u skip over sleeping dogs, darksiders 2, and may i say the darkness 2 which had a create but short story.
What about injustice, blacklist, saints row 4, payday 2 (not indie with starbreeze and 505 behind it) dota 2 official release, blood dragon, DMC if u think fc3 is a good game dmc is almost equal in score.
Just cause 2012 had a lot of major price cuts on games released that year which made being on pc great doesnt mean that all of 2013 is crap compared.

What a great year this was for indie games, though.

Spec Ops was pretty amazing. It took video game story telling to a new high. Diablo 3 on the other hand...
Bioshock was much like Spec Ops. Amazing atmosphere, great story, characters you actually cared about, decisions that actually felt important, but lackluster generic-ish gameplay. I put them in the same camp of "great games, but could have been better." Diablo was pretty awful though.

2013 will probably have more good big-name games than 2014 imo. Titanfall and Watch Dogs are the only AAA titles so far that look good to me. Everything else seems overly generic (not that Titanfall isn't pushing into generic shooter territory, but I have hope it won't just be another CoD clone . . . . probably just to get those hopes dashed).

I'd say it depends on when Dragon Age comes out. Mass Effect development is well under way and if nothing goes wrong with Dragon Age, Xmas 2014 for Mass Effect is possible. If not, then it'll be January 2015.

Keep in mind, since there's a new engine, everything is being redone from scratch! Except some materials (etc...) that is being borrowed from new DA like the director said. I still think it'll be a little longer that. We haven't even had a single screenshot of the game yet!

HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN ! Gotta see the movie xD ..OP !!! OP WHERE THE FUCK,WHERE EXACTLY THE FUCK ARE DAYZ,NETHER,RUST,7 DAYS TO DIE,PROJECT ZOMBOID, ETC?!?!?!?!?!? (PS i have TheDeadLinger this one is shit -.- it's worst optimized than the combined "optimization" of GTA4+Metro2033 xD and yeah it's in alpha but it sucks at this stage even for an alpha i think.)
Edit : Contagion cool too :) made by the guys who,well it's the continuing of Zombie Panic Source ;)

Sorry but I'm a bad person and as a bad person I'll call you a twat and say your argument is biased as fuck.
"One man's trash is another man's treasure." With other words, your opinion is your opinion. Don't call others bad because they disagree with your opinion or else they'll return the favour and call you a twat (Yeah, I'm hypocritical like that. Problem?). Maybe if you didn't jump at people's opinions they'd be more willing to discuss instead of having to argue with you. :)

The only good game this year was GTA V. The guys took all the time in the world to deliver another excellent game, not like Ubisoft or Activision. We got a crapload of boring and repetitive games this year. Infinite had the worst gun combat i've ever seen, but the artwork and atmosphere was really good, though it was a really bad game.

Galactic Civilizations 3 and Age of Wonders 3 were announced... that alone makes it a good year.
Rome 2 is pretty good. (just had a messed up launch)

I spent 2013 mostly collecting achievements in games that came out before 2013. I suppose that says something.
I'll probably pick up Bioshock Infinite and dozens of great indie titles in 2014.
I suspect that instead of playing a 2014 AAA release, I'll be achievement hunting in 2014 as well. I'm looking forward to Titanfall, but I probably won't be playing it new.

Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, Tales of Xillia, Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen, and The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds come to mind for me, but I have strange tastes I guess. There were a ton of great games released in 2013 in my opinion.

I've just come to the conclusion that 2013 was proooobably the worst year for PC gaming of all time. Of all time!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_in_video_gaming
We had some good indies, but most of the AAA releases were just stinkypoo.
2012 brought us XCOM, The Walking Dead, Mass Effect 3, Spec Ops, Diablo 3, Borderlands 2, Torchlight 2, Chivalry, Dishonored, Far Cry 3, Assassin's Creed 3 ...
2013 brought us... what exactly? Tomb Raider, Assassin's Creed 4, Batman AO, Metro LL and expansions for XCOM and Civ V. I'm not sure there's anything else worth mentioning. (Before you say "Bioshock Infinite": that is a bad game - a VERY bad game - and you're a bad person if you like it.)
2014, on the other hand, seems very promising: Thief, Titanfall, new Dragon Age, new Mass Effect (unannounced, but very likely), Star Citizen, The Crew, Witcher 3, The Division...
What do you think of 2013 (were the new consoles to blame for the lack of titles?) and what are you most looking forward to in 2014?
