My idea for a game is GTA4 meets Dawn of the Dead. How cool would it be to have a wold as big as GTA4 crawling with zombies? You'd find survivors, use places as safe areas, etc etc.

I think that's because good gamers get bored with AI. I mean, Doom 3 managed to scare the living hell out of me and I couldn't play it through with headphones on...but online play is fun because the movements and strategies are much more random.

Aion is alright. I'm hoping the Star Wars MMO is good..

I miss the days where I would get on Teamspeak and get in my clan's server for Call of Duty 1 and just have a good time killing each other. Those were the days..

I loved the fact that my favorite game of the last 4 years didn't have a multiplayer feature. The fact that I haven't seen anyone mention Bioshock saddens me. I've played through it several times, and always find myself going back to Rapture. Would you kindly come out with Bioshock 2 already?

i really didn't enjoy bioshock.

BioShock $5

Another pretty good game for $5

Civilization 4 $5

Bioshock was so good that when I finally finished the evil side campaign, the next day I started on the good side and played it for three days straight till I beat it again.

My idea for a game would be a fusion of KOTR with the openess of Oblivion/Fallout.

I want a Mass Effect MMO. Not an MMORPG. I want it to play like the original but with thousands of people and more densely populated locations.

***Future240*** · 09-29-2009, 06:45 PM

Can some of y'all pc gamers post up some of the really good pc games, limit them to 7 years please.

Diablo2. Dated graphics, but fun as shit.

Oregon Trail. It was open ended enough (name your family) that made you want to survive. because you always named the girl your crush/wife.

Games today lack story line.
Games today lack true realism. (you die, you are dead, none of this save game bs, or never die, unlimited health, you take a gunshot to the head, you are done.... Infact i'd like to see a game that wont play anymore if you die)

Only games I play, and its not that often.

Eve Online (because you can lose your character you spent a year creating)
Gran Turismo 4 (because its fun, but still lacks realism, car hits wall, car should not be driveable... salvage title at that point, or spend lots of coin to repair it, and pay the tow fee)

I know I'm going to take flameage for this, but the Gran Theft Auto series is stupid.

You're stupid. JK.

I don't see how you could think it's stupid though. I just can't.

I'm telling you, GTA meets Zombie's and trying to survive and you'd have a winner.

Rockstar released it into the multiplayer mode.

I'm talking about a whole single player mode in an open world like that. Even co-op like LFD but the open world-ness is the key. I can think of all kinds of cool scenarios.

well what are you looking for? 7 years is a long ass time. alot of good formerly-PC-only games are cross platform with console now as well (half life 2 being the premier example). PC-only is kind of limited to strategy games and mmos nowadays. just about everything else has migrated to console. the only recent PC only FPS i can think of is crysis, and even that is getting its sequel on consoles. all the other famous PC FPS franchises (cod, rainbow 6, half life, wolfenstein, etc.) can be had on console.

there's a shitload of awesome PC-only strategy titles though. all the relic games are good (company of heroes, dawn of war 1 and 2, etc). total war series is also excellent... the more recent ones being rome, medieval 2 and empire. the modifications for rome total war are incredible. i personally love europa barbarorum. i've been playing it for years now.
