Ok guys, so i'm happy to say that i've found myself with some spare cash, and since i've been in a gaming drought i need something to play and desperately.

Now for me the obvious choice would be The Witcher 2 since i enjoy RPGs, but is there something else out there worth mentioning? Maybe a hidden title somewhere. Thanks

While we are on the PC forum, Witcher 2 > Skyrim. Bethesda stated that the PC version wouldn't be as good as the console version and would be a port.

[QUOTE="woonsa"]definitely get witcher 2. RPG of the year rivaled only by skyrim.creaturemagic

Lol, where the hell did you hear that bs? PC is the only version that #1 gets the construction kit which basically makes these games last years and years. #2 has all the perks of being on the PC ( smoother fps, better resolution, higher textures ) #3 It's played on a keyboard and mouse which it was designed for! Seriously.

The games are built to functions on consoles yes. Even The Witcher 2 was created to be put on consoles. The HOLE new engine they made for TW2 was built the way it is too be on consoles aswell!

And not once did they EVER say the PC version was a "port" or "not as good"

On topic : I'd say some nice hidden gem RPG's you could grab are Drakensang and Divinity II. Vampire the masquerade bloodlines and NWN2+MOTB are also awesome games if you have not played them yet.

Can I borrow your time machine to play Guild Wars 2?

The Witcher 2 is the best RPG this year if that is the genre you want. If you want something a bit older check out Guild Wars if you haven't.

Crysis collection (Crysis, Crysis Warhead and Crysis Wars), Crysis 2, Batman Arkham Asylum, Team Fortress 2, Test Drive Unlimited 2, Oblivion, Bioshock 2, Stalker: Call of Pripyat and Fallout New Vegas.

I saw you didnt list Fallout 3 at all, thats a very good game aswell :> Also since the vampire the masquerade is on sale on steam, you should get it http://store.steampowered.com/app/2600/ Divinity 2 dragon knight saga is alot of fun to play (You can be a dragon and fly around wheee). I also thought Fable 3 was alot of fun, so thats an option aswell :)

Why would a developer ever say that, even if it were true?

I'm sorry, but the witcher 2 kind of sucks. Especially the second half of it. And it's linear and has invisible walls.

lol maaaaaaan, how come you didnt buy a few games during the Steam Sales? Or did you and beat them all? Anyway, theres - Darksiders, Assassins Creed 1-2.75, Divinity 2 The Dragon Knight Saga (loving that game right now), apparently people are saying Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines is good and its on sale for $5 right now. Uh...theres also Bad Company 2 - always on sale, EyE is apparently good, Starcraft 2 is always good, you could also go buy yourself the Humble Indie Bundle #3 - theres a few good games in there. Gamersgate.com - Having a big sale Direct2Drive.com - Having a sale too - however mediocre it and the site is. Ea.com's - Origin is having a PC download sale. Games are like $5.

I just purchased it recently (finally!), and I finally booted it up earlier today and I'm having a blast. For some reason, I'm liking it more than Fallout 3 already. Even though Fallout 3 was really, really good. :)

Oh my goodness, The Witcher 2 is one of the most amazing games i've played. It sucks that it's a weekday and i can't be up all night playing it :P

And man i'm ashamed to say this, but no i never got the chance to pick up Alice. Since you've given it the thumbs up tho i'll check it out for sure. And i'm glad to see that you're enjoying New Vegas, i definitely liked it more then Fallout 3.

Sweet. I'm glad you're enjoying TW2. I bought Red Faction: Armageddon as well and I thought it would suck but boy, is it fun. :) Another good game to pick up. As for Alice, it's awesome. Easily one of my favorite games this year.

Revenge of the Titans is an amazing indie game.

But if youre more for a shooter game, Id say killing floor and Team Fortress 2 (TF2 is free)

Bethesda would never admit they the PC version would be worse.

Put a W before the RPG and I agree :P But yeah, you can't go wrong with witcher 2
