    I was thinking about my favorite pc games and thought it would be fun to have a thread where people could list theirs. Games released on PC anytime only. Mine are all SP offline bc that's all I play, not gonna put that online needle in lol

    Max Payne 2, love the noir, big fan of old noir movies. Don't get MP3, buggy, run and gun focused ugh
    Company of Heroes 1 fantastic fan made maps for skirmish, great for watching something else while playing
    rfactor 1, had F1 seasons, indycar too, fantastic fan made stuff, tracks, pretty much anything motosports in it's heyday.

    Silent Hill 2/3- 5 is ok-wish konami would pull it's head out like Capcom did with the RE update/remakes(SAME for older Metal Gear MGS3, MGS2, MGS4 series might be legal thing though.)

    -Resident evil series esp 2(very noir) and 4(needs refresh hopefully 2021). The other remakes are fun but they obv didn't update the cameras etc RE7 is one of the scariest in a real way, first person really immersive, but the bubblegum illuminati/zombie stuff of the others is fun as well. I enjoyed the Revelations esp 2. 5-6 suck.

    GTAV, sp. again the exploring, on a bike for me, certainly captures modern LA feel, lived there a while in the past.

    ---Witcher 3, love exploring wandering in games, atmospheric no guns or cars slower paced if you want it, MUSIC, benchmark game.
    Fallout 4, my first FO title played on pc, spent all of thankgiving 2015 playing this, great atmos music and soundtrack music. Got addicted to settlement building.
    -Alan Wake, love it so much like twilight zone and beautiful scenery, mkultra/MPD/DID story. AN is ok add.
    -Batman Arkham 1-2,
    Call of Juarez Gunslinger, excellent shootemup, witty/funny, awesome dueling mode, Dark Souls 2/3,
    Dead Space series amazing what 10gb would get you in those days lol, Dirt 3, INFRA, Dying Light, Deus Ex HR, STALKER series, MGS GZ/PP, WRC8, Dishonored series, SOMA, Bioshock esp Infinite, Spintires/mudrunner. Skyrim, although I played it too much in the past, can't stand it anymore lol, Splinter Cell Blacklist.
    COD2 original not mw etc have not played any COD since infinite came out it's obv not sp focused anymore, Assassins Creed 2, don't play that series anymore bc of it's content and what it pushes. Same for hitman, too killing focused, (that's an mkultra DID/MPD one as well). Borderlands 2 esp w an invisible trainer option, too much people rushing you all the time.

    Hopefully you guys have some I've missed playing.

    It looks like we have very similar tastes when it comes to games. I really enjoy open world games where I can enjoy the graphics, along with FPS games...

    Currently I've been really into Red Dead Redemption 2 (PC). If you like Witcher 3, RDR2 is definitely not much of a stretch at all. Just he other day I had both games up on two different systems and the overall execution / realism goes to RDR2 hands down, whereas Witcher 3 is more cartoon like... still an awesome game.. they are just different. I'd highly recommend checking out RDR2. It's stunning.

    GTAV is a must have title for sure... I wish they would add tachometers to the cars, planes etc... after all it is "grand theft auto," lol.. yet the cars just feel so generic (not talking about brand wise) but it just feels too arcade like, which is a shame. I do appreciate the game and enjoy all the stunt missions etc...

    Resident Evil is another must have classic. I've been playing it lately...

    Overwatch is another favorite for an fps game... it's highly competitive and often misunderstood. The level of tactics, skills and overall game sense that goes into OW is on another level. It has characters for everyone...

    Ace Combat... I have it, but haven't had much time to play ...If you like planes this is a must have title for sure.

    I have a really good recommendation for you. - Killing Floor 2. It's in my opinion the best zombie fps game and again IMO it crushes COD zombie mode, which is nowhere near the level of KF2. I'd highly recommend it...it's cheap too. You can pick up a Deluxe key for less than ~$10USD.

    Yeah RDR2 def on my list I just don't have the time right now, sounds right up my alley.

    I looked at KF2 but isn't that an online focused game? Not looking to do any online gaming, I'm addicted enough lol Overwatch is also online isn't it? I mean I think the latest COD's have SP but from what I've read they are an afterthought and who wants to dl and install xxxgbs for some afterthought you'd play once and be done with.

    I did play the ace combat series on console I think ps2 lol but maybe I forgot and played some pc ones can't remember I did have that in the back of my head bc I like variety, I was looking at a new game called afterburn that seems kinda fun arcadey stylized, going WAY back I remember playing wing commander lol There was an old pc game that was just for the tiger tank I think it's russian made game, more like a sim. I can't remember the name but there was a popular sp tank game I played, kinda fun to just play as a tank in battle but most of the latest stuff is online megagames not my thing.
