Objectively and Literally Top 10 PC Games of 2013

[bonescraper]

Oh yeah, Blood Dragon definitely deserves a honoreble mention. If only for the best FPS minigun experience, ever.



And that amazing soundtrack!

Oops I didn't realize this was PC only thread. That makes my list all of 3 games long.

IMMA FIRING MAH LAZOR

 

[Keshik]

Don't think I even played 10 games that came out in 2013, damn.

 

[Servo]

You missed the OP.

This is based on when I was playing them, not when they came out, because who cares.

Don't feel bad a lot of ppl did the same thing

 

[bonescraper]

awesome final mission

Spoilers obviously

Nope. The best part is cut. Time to fix that.



Now we're talking.

Posting in a kingcomrade thread about the games I consider the best ones I played last year

1. The Dark Mod. Arguably the best game released in 2013 when it became standalone. I spent almost as many hours with it as with Thief I and II played far more times than 7 and their fan missions.

2. Jagged Alliance 2 1.13 with the 2013 version of the 1.13 unofficial patch. The unofficial patch has some questionable design decisions, but I already played it first than vanilla, and this game is so great it needs no introduction. The Best Tactical RPG and RPG ever made in my opinion(In before "but the laptop guy...").

3. STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl with Oblivion Lost mod. Ultimately I ended liking the first STALKER more than the last, because of how more interesting it is, regardless of the derp endgame.

4. STALKER: Call of Prypiat with Misery Mod 1.0. Combined with this great mod, an excellent sandbox FPS, stealth and survival game, incredibly challenging and tense all the time, although not as atmospheric as SoC.

5. Expeditions: Conquistador. I really like the almost completely unexplored setting of this game THIS MUCH, and it was one of the few complete CRPGs released this year. Not bad for a ~$70k budget game.

6. Primordia. A very good adventure game and the best of Wadjet Eye Games so far IMO.

7. Too many user-made WADs in GZDoom for me to remember them individually. Special mention to Cold as Hell: Special Edition, which has a different first map for Doom standards where there are more enemies than ammo to put all of them down, forcing the player to evade and run away rather than fight and at first feeling more like an survival horror rather than oldschool FPS. Playing that one in the hardest difficulty of all was insane and genuinely visceral.

8. WG Realms 2: Siege Breaker. A standalone total conversion of Duke Nukem 3d that is like a Duke Nukem 3d, Doom and Heretic crossover.

9. Heroine's Quest. I barely had time to play it before the end of 2013, and some of the puzzles were a bit on the obtuse side, but it is still good enough, free and one of the few games with Norse mythology done in a non-retarded and deep way since the good and old Rune.

10. Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead. Imagine the a survival roguelike such as Unreal World, in what would be a far more convenient near future but affected with ULTIMATE DOOM EXPANSION SET FOR KWANZANIA including zombie apocalypse, giant insects, killer plants and Eldritch horrors at the same time, with an extensive crafting system, as many drugs as Fallout(and addiction), and the posssibility of welding entire cars from scrap metal and salvaged parts that can be driven(until they break into pieces in a crash). That is basically what this game is. It went in continual development through the entire year of 2013, and although it features some very retarded items(IE: furfag suit, dino suit, flaming weapons, etc) that may signal the whole project may be going down the toilet because of internal butthurt(plus the original developer Whales announcing he began developing Cataclysm 2), it still has more good stuff than bad.

1. Dota 2
2. Papers, Please
3. Dishonored
4. Space Marine
5. FTL
6. Batman Arkham City
7. Mark of the Ninja
8. Trine 2
9. Anno 2070
10. Bioshock Infinite, despite its flaws

I can't remember if I played Witcher 2 this year or last. I think last, otherwise it would shove off Bioshock and be number 6 and shift everything down.
Sticky this thread please, so everyone has a common reference point for the best games of 2013 from a reliable source.

The new Tomb raider belongs on that list , its far better then bio shock infinite or Dishonored

Top 10 PC games of 2013? I didn't even play 10 games, PC or otherwise, in 2013, let alone enough for me to list the top 10 of the PC variety.

However, of all of the games I played in 2013, Fallout is the best.

Borderlands 2 and The Dragon Knight Saga get special nods because of their extremely addictive nature, but they ultimately give you an empty feeling of self-loathing while at the same time making you want to do just one more line, er, level.

Funny, this describes how I feel every time I reload the Codex.

Without any specific order what came out 2013 (because naming games from 1475 as your GOTY 2013 is stupid as has been mentioned before):
Tomb Raider
Brütal Legend
Guacamelee!
Euro Truck Simulator 2
Warframe (Multiplayer)
Awesomenauts (Multiplayer)

Games that were still Okay and fun to play:
Sonic and All-Stars Racing
Reus

Games from last year that I played and still liked: Botanicula, Sleeping Dogs, Crusader Kings II, RAGE
Other than that there were a lot of Oculus Rift demos and games I played around with, there were also a few good games on there like Lunar Flight or Kairo

Disappointment of the year: Bioshock Infinite

I also liked this list: http://www.p4rgaming.com/play4reals-game-of-the-year-awards-2013-sponsored-by-battlefield-4/

2. Sword of the Stars: The Pit
3. Zafehouse Diaries

HERE YA GO.


My Pre-ejacess GOTY goes to Xenonauts, M&M X, and Blackguards. Three-way tie. They are also the Most Likely to be GOTY 2014 winners. Congratulations.

There is no RPG GOTY because ... well, where were the RPGs?

Seriously, what the fuck.

Suddenly in Deutsch Torture Dungeon Award goes to Realms of Arkania's 3D remake. Never has a German's special harness felt so close!

Kudos and General Feeling of Being Impressed Award goes to The Swapper. That was one cool game.

Clearwater Revival Award goes to Torchlight II, which I've put a lot of hours into lately, but will surely drop like a rock for another year of dormancy.

Gunporn Award goes to Heat Payday 2. All those cops had families, but it's hard to empathize over the delicious sounds of every single gun in the game.

Game I Played a Lot of and then Never Again Award goes to Risk of Rain. Really enjoyable little shoot'emup roguelike mash. Played it until I got terribly sick. Now it is associated with said sickness.

Surprisingly Overrated Award goes to Spelunky! Wow, what a boring, short piece of crap. I don't see the draw, but whatever.

For that constant itch, Strange and Persistent Desire to Reinstall Award goes to E.Y.E. Please stop posting pictures of its sleek, sexy bod.

Not Strange, but Persistent and Fulfilled Desire to Reinstall Award, almost preternaturally, goes to Deus Ex's answered siren call.

Best Sexual Assault Simulator is a tie! Wow! It falls between Crusader Kings II's concubine feature and the closing minute of every Natural Selection 2 match.

Best Reminder I Can't Into Weeaboo Furry Shit Award goes to Dust: Elysian! RK47 will be accepting on their behalf.

I Used to be Good at These Award goes to all the RTS games out there. I just can't do it anymore, mentally or physically. I am sorry.

Game Most Likely to be Awesome, but I Haven't Installed Yet Award goes to Underrail! Congratulations, it looks great!

Best $30 Swindle Award goes to Omerta: City of Gangsters. Wow, what a piece of software! And the marketing team really knows what I like!

Most Appropriately Named DLC Award goes to Con-Artist for Omerta: City of Gangsters. The consumer really knows what hole it's going into this time!

Gives Me Anxiety, Clear Indicator I Couldn't Handle the Real Thing Award goes to Rising Sun/RO2. That game is more frightening than most horror games I've played.

Saddest Burial Award goes to Chaos Chronicles. The gameplay and general appeal of Blackguards is the urn in which Chaos Chronicles' ashes are kept.


and...

Overall GOTY goes to...

Drumroll...

Spoiler

The writing in Expeditions: Conquistador! Though the game gave me technical fits up and down, and the gameplay was a little eh, the writing was superb. Congratulations! Trekking through a jungle with a ragtag band of racists, brutes, peaceniks, philanthropists and full-on rapists was quite a welcome experience in the tremendous year of shit that was 2013.

I lol'd

I feel bad for anyone that bought Spelunky when you could have figured out it was bad for free. Legally too.
