PC Game of the Year 2013 Winner

I can't believe Bioshock Infinite was even considered.

Bioshock Infinite is a crap game developed by Levine, your typical "enlightened" liberal with a 6th grade understanding of the world, who gets his info from Michael Moore and Comedy Central.

He should have just named it, " I hate white people". At least that would have been honest.

Very well deserved. I typically binge on RPG's and get bored of them. I've been playing this since closed beta and haven't been bored since. This is the longest that an RPG has held my attention since D2 LOD.

This isn't an attack. That being said, I tried three times to get into this game. I played a couple hours each time after reading one amazing review after another about it and I just could not get excited or interested in this game. I found myself very disinterested in the world, the characters and I wasn't a big fan of the game play in general. I honestly prefer Torchlight and Diablo 3 over this game, simply because I am drawn in and attracted to those experiences. This one is truly a head-scratcher, but I do realize that many people love this game and many reviewers absolutely rave about it. I just can't seem to grasp the attraction to it.

<< LINK REMOVED >> tell them to fix the crappy chat window that fills up half the screen...that alone takes this game down a bunch for me. its a good game for a dungeon crawler but dungeon crawlers are BORING. Rogue Legacy was better than this game.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Definitely not the best ARPG ever created by a long shot. I seriously got bored in act 2 HC and just stopped. The game is just stiff. When I look and the fluidity and changes coming to D3: RoS I can't help but gravitate towards that. Maybe with a second release and more production can the PoE creators get everything right. Dota 2 on the other hand has about 400 hrs on my record (although recently getting bored but play from time to time). I think Dota is very competitive and fun.

I'll have to try this one. Very strong candidates for PC this year.

PoE is an incredible game. The more you play it, the more you realize how little you understand it. the mechanics are so incredibly complicated. For all the people who think the game is too shallow, boring, easy, etc. Play on Hardcore, where the economy isn't fucked up and where you have to actually design a character from start to finish rather than just making a glass cannon.

@jimdove2 Generic shooter yes but no one will ever talk about Bioshock's story. I loved every second of it. The introduction to the world with its weird religious sentiments and then the slow piecing together of the different parts.

It took me 18 hours to complete. Some people say they struggled to make it last 5. Maybe you just don't let it all sink in enough by just blasting through everything.

I mean if you managed to get through that fair place in the intro without trying all of the games, and talking to all the people and listening to conversations and things then I'm sorry you wasted the game.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Many people do not agree with your statement about Bioshock Infinite. Well, if you play the game like a 14 year old playing COD, then I see why you wouldn't like it.

never played it

Can't disagree with this one. Good job GGG!

wtf? :/

Well u had assassins creed 4(6), bioshock infinitie, tomb rider and u chose this whats wrong with u guys?

Well GGG must be doing something right. I'm playing it quite actively since last May (closed beta) and have sunk more than 400$ into cosmetics, which rather just feels like showing my support for a game, as a reward to the developers and as an insurance that they will continue to churn out content as fast as they do now. With bi-weekly patches that often introduce new skills or items that make new builds possible, daily race events and the 4 month leagues with challenges, I can hardly keep up. I can see playing this for as long as I played D II and I played that until earlier this year before it finally felt too dated and clunky in comparison to PoE.

Thank god it's not gone home, what a joke of a gayme it was.

Played POE for half a year, daily, and well, it's addictive for a while but GOTY...don't think so. Too many problems in the long run.

Dayyyymmm did NOT expect this...but I gotta say, PoE is really a great game. It's what D3 should have been.

Who'd a' thunk it?!

Removing the GS user from the GOTY equation actually *has* made the whole thing better.

"Who would have thought that Blizzard Entertainment, the uber-successful creator of the world's most revered action role-playing games, would be out-Diablo'd?"

Well, to be fair, about 90% of the people involved with making Diablo 1 and 2 left Blizzard many years ago, and had nothing to do with Diablo 3, which was made by the guys who made WoW.

But anyway, PoE is amazing, and truly deserves the accolades. Congrats, GGG. You more than earned it.

Also, when was that footage that appears in the first couple seconds of the video from? I've been in the PoE beta since damn near two years ago, and I never saw the HUD look like that. Must be from waaaaaay back.

Very happy to see this win!

Fantastic game!

Where the Hell is Assassin's Creed IV and Splinter Cell Blacklist, in my opinion AC4 was the best and Splinter Cell comes after

So!... The Last of Us than? Yay!

i am a pc gamer & Tomb raider was my favorite this yearnbut if i compare it to my previous year favorite games,i think that this year probably the worst for the pc games for the past few years,next year can only get better as witcher 3,Dragon age 3 etc are releasing

I think POTE deserves it. being better than diablo 3 while also being fp2 and from a small unknown developer puts it over the edge imo. A true testament to whats currently wrong with the industry really.

disappointed.
