Poll Best PC exclusives and non-strategy games that never came to consoles (21 votes)

Diablo II 10%
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 24%
System Shock II 19%
Thief: The Dark Project 10%
Hitman: Codename 47 10%
Amnesia: The Dark Descent 10%
Neverwinter Nights 14%
The Sims 3 0%
Star Wars: The Old Republic 5%

I start with Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines. This game was one of the best FPS RPGs ever that made by Troika Games , a video game developer created by the key people behind the first part of the critically acclaimed Fallout series of game - Tim Cain, Leonard Boyarsky & Jason Anderson - , somehow Masquerade – Bloodlines is one of the biggest underrated games too , it released by Activision for PC in 2004 and 2004 was the year that Half-life 2 came out so you could understand why most of people still don’t know anything about this game, not to mention it’s technical problems and numerous bugs

Lot of good mentions above. The Witcher #1 might warrant a mention as well, despite its rough edges. But I'm going to go with Thief 1+2 and System Shock 2, and add Planescape Torment

I voted System Shock 2 but there are plenty more great exclusive games on pc like SiN, Alien versus Predator, Freelancer, STALKER, Baldur's Gate II. I could list more but that would take way too long.

Actually kind of surprised no one seems to think Neverwinter Nights is worthy. The depth and longevity of that game is unheard of for the most part by today's standards. Only some game devs even try to explore the realm of possibilities that were available to players back with this game.

@Renegade_Fury Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight is a pretty amazing game too, multiplayer was such fun on LAN.

Amnesia Dark Descent, you don't know horror until you play that game in a dark cold room with headphones on at full volume.

Yep you right , games such as fall out & neverwinter nights are the best PC games that never came to consoles however I wanted to mention those games that have this great potential to get ported to consoles but they remained exclusive for PC because games like neverwinter nights have a unique gameplay system which relied on PC mouse controls ! hmmm now that I've come to think of it.. I should've removed diablo II and the sims from the list too.

@Black_Knight_00: According to a wiki it is a spinoff but wiki's should be taken that with a grain of salt.

  • Many gamers thought of this as a console version of the smash hit Battlefield 2, in reality it's more of a spin-off featuring the same factions and most of the weapons, but consisting of its own Campaign, Multiplayer Maps, et cetera. - Battlefield Wikia

It's totally different to Battlefield 2, basically just using the name. The aesthetic is totally different, the maps are totally different, the gameplay is changed a lot, you have no jets and stuff, you only have 24 players etc. etc. etc.

It's just Battlefield 2 in name and kind-of in setting. Practically it's more Battlefield Bad Company 0,5

I never played it so I couldn't give an accurate account to whether it was like Battlefield 2 or not other than the wiki . Thanks for the confirm.

I'll actually have to get it now, I had no idea it had single player. I thought it was one of those online-only games like the PC version. Though to be fair, that one had bots.

I doubt it's really worth it. I guess you can get it for dirt cheap now, but from what I know it's not really great in SP and the MP servers are shut down.

I'd say Bad Company 1 or 2 would be a better purchase. Or just Battlefield 2 on PC, which is still imo the best in the series.

I collect every FPS ever released on consoles, provided it has single player content.

Bloodlines and System Shock 2 are great, enjoyed those quite a bit. I still need to try the Thief games, not really sure if I'll get into them or not.

Some others for me are the S.T.A.L.K.E.R games, Planescape: Torment, Blood, Blade of Darkness, Clive Barker's Undying, Fallout, The Longest Journey, Realms of the Haunting

Best PC exclusives and non-strategy games that never came to consoles===My point is: this is really exclusive scoop, saw a language about strategy game.
