Me having no access to mods, Skyrim is definitely the best game I have ever played in my life.

» Thu Jul 25, 2013 1:19 am

+1

I do think these 'all time' awards are worthless. As inevitably, the game in question changes the next time they do it.

It's like awarding 'Movie of 2013' In February.

» Wed Jul 24, 2013 1:22 pm

I think I've still put more hours into Killing Floor than I have Skyrim.

This.

Awesome! Congrats to the team @ Bethesda Game Studios!

» Wed Jul 24, 2013 9:23 am

The awards do change but you always see Mass Effect 2, and you always see Half Life 2. I think Skyrim will be considered a classic just like those games. Morrowind is a 11 year old game but it's still in the top 100! Which is great once you consider the fact that the list mainly contains newer games.

I do not think skyrim deserves #1. Don't get me wrong, it's a great game and deserves a very high spot on the list. But not #1. Easily in the top 10. But not #1.

Of course, I can't even tell you what MY favorite game is, so keep that in mind. Still, I don't think its skyrim. Great though this game was, a bunch of problems result in it not being at the top.

Morrowind. If I'm right, you get me a chocolate chip cookie.

» Wed Jul 24, 2013 1:46 pm

Wait what? To be honest i dont think it deserves it,i mean of all time ?o.o

» Wed Jul 24, 2013 6:30 pm

Fallout 3 got in but not New Vegas? :wallbash:

» Wed Jul 24, 2013 2:01 pm

I know right? I'm calling that list a load of silly. :down:

» Thu Jul 25, 2013 12:03 am

I wouldn't call it the best either. It's a great game, but just not the best for me personally. Anyway, congrats to Bethesda.

» Wed Jul 24, 2013 4:30 pm

Maybe because new vegas is boring.

» Wed Jul 24, 2013 4:06 pm

Were we able to fight along side a giant robot to destroy the "evil" that is the enclave? No.

It wasn't epic enough.

» Wed Jul 24, 2013 8:57 pm

Like saying an action pack Michael Bay film is better than a well written Paul Thomas Anderson film.

» Thu Jul 25, 2013 12:48 am

Please don't make me say it. Just look at the quote in my sig.

» Thu Jul 25, 2013 12:10 am

Some might say Fallout New Vegas is the better RPG, but the better overall game is Fallout 3 IMO.

» Wed Jul 24, 2013 5:15 pm

Thanks to helpful people in CD I know that 62 games on this list were released in 2005 or later. Make of it what you want.

I said it three hours ago, I'll say it again: I love Skyrim, but I can't take seriously any list that calls it the best PC game of all time.

» Wed Jul 24, 2013 12:38 pm

A giant robot action scene is a necessity for the ethics of a post-apocalypse and the world itself? Both Fallout 3 and New Vegas do plenty of such.

» Wed Jul 24, 2013 7:11 pm

Sarcasm is damned thing to portray on the internet. Holy [censored].

» Wed Jul 24, 2013 10:32 am

http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1467312-pc-gamers-100-greatest-pc-games-of-all-time/ is the rest of the list if anyone is interested.

If you are wondering why it is locked, I requested a lock because I was tired of all the "Skyrim svcks, new games svck, this old game should be here" posts.

» Wed Jul 24, 2013 9:03 am

So in a rpg vs rpg fight were the other rpg is already stated the be a better rpg the "not so good rpg" wins?

A very derpy from pc gamer. If the list was "top 100 of most medicore pc* games" then it might be true**.

*not really

** seriously dishonored medicore lol

» Wed Jul 24, 2013 5:50 pm

I understand it's annoying, but honestly, what else did you expect? How can we comment on "greatest of" and avoid discussing why #1 is wrong (it's always wrong, universal law of subjective lists :tongue: ) and what else should have made the list?

At least now talking about Skyrim is perfectly on topic.

» Wed Jul 24, 2013 12:02 pm

Sure, but do PCers appreciate or like the game or is it because of the mods?
