Ahh yahtzee, the man who mainstreamed the term "dumbed down for the console tards."This feels relevant...
We don't call them console-tards anymore, Gas. We call them dew-chuggers and dude bros these days. You need to be more... PC

Yeah, the comparisons to Molyneux are hilarious. I can safely say GB won't be getting my money anymore, I just don't see them as a company I can trust after this and DN:F.
Holy crap. Where to begin. SKYRIM probably, if that wasn't the last thing you played 2 years ago. Lots of people are liking Far Cry 3, Spec Ops: The Line... on the MMO front, Guild Wars 2 is about the best medieval fantasy PVP MMO you can get, and it has no subscription fee. Planetside 2 is free to play and is tons of fun. Orcs Must Die 2 is good co-op. FTL (Faster than Light) is a good, cheap indie game that has sort of an "oregon trail in space" vibe with lots of random content. I'm waiting for the GOTY edition of Borderlands 2 to come out before I buy it, probably at the steam summer sale, I'm hoping. Hitman Absolution is well received. Saints Row 3 is a lot shorter than Saints Row 2 was but is still lots of fun co-op even if it isn't as mindblowingly awesome as 2 was, and they've fixed a lot of the "bad console port" issues.
I played most of Red Faction Guerrilla with a mouse and keyboard, but I switch to gamepad for some of the driving sequences because it's a lot easier to drive with analog control. There are a lot of other game types that control better with a gamepad as well: plaformers, brawlers, JPRGs, twin stick shooters, etc. I can't imagine playing Bastion, Darksiders, Costume Quest, LEGO Batman 2, etc. with a mouse and keyboard. Granted, those are ports, but they're still on the PC, and mouse and keyboard controls are damn near awful for them.
Actually I'll rectify my statement, you've got a point there. The Ys games and most other platform/adventure type games are infinitely better on a gamepad, but games where aiming is a requirement, like Tera or a shooter, I'd take a mouse/board.
The nice thing about a game like Skyrim is you can drop as much or little time on it as you want. There's no rush to finish any quests, really, and the save-anywhere thing means you can just pick it up later.
In my opinion, SR3 is only worth it if you have someone to co-op with. Solo play will leave you feeling "what, that's it?" Not to mention a very controversial death in the first few minutes of the game that I didn't believe was real until I finally finished the game.
It was some kind of graphical issue with Dead Space 1 that caused the mouse to behave like a laggy floaty piece of shit. You could fix it by changing a setting (I believe it was turning off(on?) VSync) in your Video Card's configuration panel. Made the game play so much better. Not sure about Dead Space 2, but I imagine it's the same.
I have Win7. Is there a PS3 version? I could also pick it up that way. But I do love my Steam
I refuse to recommend a console version. You swine.
Or drastically improving the AI, the atmosphere, fixing all the bugs that the official patches missed, better magic systems, more dynamic skill trees, more weapon/armor choices, a more diverse monster population, having a way more PC friendly UI, etc etc etc
I'd be interested in knowing what these are... I usually mod my PC games
Great list. The only I would add to it would be XCOM, which is awesome.
You want SkyUI right off the bat. Then after that, there are a variety of high definition mods/texture packs which you can use to really make Skyrim mindblowingly beautiful like it should be on PC, not dumbed down for the console tards and their obsolete 8-year-old econoboxes for dummies. After that, there's a mindblowingly huge number of mods you can pick from in the steam workshop.. or you can look around at http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/ ... hell, I subscribe to a guy on youtube where pretty much all he does is release a review of 3 or 4 skyrim mods every week.... for the last 62 weeks.
I kind of liked some of what saw about this but also I am such a grump about MMOs. I like to play solo, I don't want to duel, I like a story that ends... MMOs generally require cooperation, people want to fight you and it just sort of goes... and goes...
You can solo the entire game story of Secret World, dungeons are more of an -aside- story. The enviroments and characters are one of a kind to the MMO world. The gameplay does nothing to dissuade awesome soloing. There are no duels or people spamming you with duels.
