Damn PCs have it good this year.

[infohippie]

About time the PC got a good year, I'm tired of seeing us get shafted because console games sell better.
Hmm... Just one? Can't do it, not this year. At a bare minimum I will have to get Mass Effect 3, The Witcher 2, Portal 2, Skyrim, Crysis 2, Dragon Age 2... These are the ones I absolutely must pick up, no choice in the matter.

 

[Bellvedere]

Witcher 2 and DA2. It's going to be a good year.


Also looking forward to Mass Effect 3 but I'm getting it on 360.

 

[Rad Party God]

If I could get 1 game and only 1 game this year, it has to be Guild Wars 2.

But, if I could get them all (wich is my plan), then it would be:

-Guild Wars 2 (of course)
-Mass Effect 3
-The Witcher 2
-Dragon Age II
-Deus Ex: Human Revolution
-Brink
-The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
-Portal 2

If Diablo III gets released this year, then great, but I'm not interested on it.

 

[Super Toast]

Skyrim and Dragon Age II. I have no interest in Diablo III. Whatsoever.

 

[Fire Daemon]

Probably SW:TOR. That's the only exclusive title I'm interested in, and probably the only one my bucket of a PC can run.

 

[vviki]

Anything Blizzard. Please, we need more good games

 

[SomebodyNowhere]

As much as I am really looking forward to Portal 2, Dragon Age 2, and even The Agency. If I absolutely had to pick one game for the PC being released this year I guess I'd go with Mass Effect 3.

 

[ragecandybar]

Portal 2, Guild Wars 2, Dragon Age 2, The Witcher 2... uhhh, Something Else 2.

 

[Spoon E11]

There's way more important games than that coming out for consoles my friend (Well, PS3).

Can you say Twisted Metal, Killzone 3, Resistance 3, and Uncharted 3? Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

But being a 360 person I don't really keep track of PS3 games.

DCS: A-10C Warthog. Yeah, a weird choice, but that's the way I roll.

Anyway, the PC getting plenty of good exclusives makes up for the shitstorm that was 2010.

I do hope we can really get some good games this year as well. 2010 was a massive turd for movies and games. (music was fairly good though)

Spoiler

why was your pic so big it made me think ahh my internets shit and wont load this fucking image.

ATI Radeon HD 5450 Graphics card
With 1gb dedicated graphic memory

That's your problem, right there. HD 5450 is built for multimedia applications not for gaming.

If it's a discrete GPU card, I'd pull it and replace it with a HD 6870... or if you're more budget conscious, a HD5770.

Yeah I looked this up in a review, I am planning to get a new one sometime this year, just lack of money atm

Its funny playing a game like l4d1 (which runs on high with no AA) run perfect through hordes and everything, but lags like anything when you stand next to fire, like the petrol station after being blown up. It just cant do ingame fire.

 

[LightningBanks]

Diablo 3. The only game I loved from blizzard and nits getting a well deserved threequel

That is, if my pc can run it (it should be able to, I dont really care if it is on lowest, as long as it doesent have massive lag issues)

Well your Steam profile says you play games like Metro 2033, Crysis and Call Of Pripyat, those are some pretty hefty games, I think you'll be able to play a Simple game like Diablo just fine.

Wow, someone actually looked on my steam profile

I do have to play all of those on lowest settings, with bot perfect quality, although it is very good (cept metro 2033, which lagged like a a ***** during some bits, causing me to stop playing)

I just dont get lucky with specs on pc. The Blade kitten Demo was unplayable on it, and thats only a 2d platformer.

If you tell me your specs, I might be able to help out.

Intel core i3 processor
4gb Ram
1tb Hard drive

and

ATI Radeon HD 5450 Graphics card
With 1gb dedicated graphic memory

Well there's your problem, your Graphics card sucks, here would be my recommendations:

This, if you have some cash lying around: http://www.misco.co.uk/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=365124&Tab=0&NoMapp=0

And this, if you're on a budget: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/512mb-sapphire-hd-5670-pci-e-21-(x16)-4000mhz-gddr5-gpu-775mhz-400-cores-d-sub-dl-dvi-i-hdmi

Both are great cards, and either one will make your computer MUNCH through games.

Yeah I looked this up in a review, I am planning to get a new one sometime this year, just lack of money atm

Ill have a look at the cards and see if I can gather some funding. Cheers!

PCs have it good every year. There could be no games coming out for the PC in a year and it would still be great because of the thousands of awesome older games.

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

I'll give Witcher 2 a try. I really wanted to like the original but the game mechanics were tedious at best and I quickly grew bored with it.

 

[shiig]

Skyrim, The old Republic, Portal 2, Dead Space 2 (not exclusive, but sooooo much better on the PC), and freaking DOTA 2. Ya, it's gonna be a good year.

that wasn't the point. If we bring older games into it snes wins everytime. anyway xbox looks kinda poor in comparison to PS3 and PC this year.

 

[nomzy]

The game I'm most excited for is Dragon Age II, even though it's not a PC exclusive.
PS3 seems like it's going to have a good year as well, what with Uncharted 3 and all.
