Fallout 3 GotY: EMA Best RPG, PC Gamer #1

Brother None,

Not as good doesn't mean bad. There's still great games out there, including on the PC, it's just not a torrent, more of a trickle, and many of us never had the time for the torrent anyway


True. And 2008 was not a bad year, for the post 2000 PC game industry. I was fairly well satisfied with the Medieval Total War: Kingdoms expansion, The Witcher, Mass Effect, and Fallout 3. But I wouldn't call any of those "great" games. using my own personal standards based on how much I enjoyed them, the best I can is they didn't suck. But then, I'm pretty picky. I expect quite a lot more from games than the average Fallout 3 or GTA 4 fan.

Besides...indies.

I'm not from Missouri, but they still gotta show me. Low budget versions of mainstream titles don't appeal to me, and neither do games that had potential that was never fully realized. I agree it makes sense for indies to be the ones servicing the traditionally hardcore niche PC gamer market, but it doesn't seem to be happening.

The Witcher and Mass Effect are 2007 games, with a 2008 GOTY edition and port.
 
Mass Effect for the PC came out in 2008. You are technically correct about the Witcher, I suppose... so my list of decent games for 2008 just got shorter :(

Eyenixon,

Indies are practically the only lifeline for wargames these days, I assume you're not a fan?

Depends what you mean by "Wargames". I am a fan of wargames, but only when they have heavy focus on tactics. I don't much care for Wargames that are little more than a strategic layer. Games like Steel Panthers and Close Combat, back in the 1990s, and the Total War series, now.

The world and core mechanics of Fallout 1 are so inherently awesome that they deserved to be done again, but in a new way

I guess not everyone gets what they deserve, eh ?
