Best PC game ever via Metacritic is...

[Night Goat]

Didn't expect to see Deus Ex and Fallout 2 so high up on that list.

The ranking doesn't take the number of ratings into account. These games will have fewer ratings than more modern/mainstream ones, but the raters are either from a time when gamers had better taste or had the good taste to dig these gems up.

That said, I actually like the minimalism, it allows me to project my prefered sci-fi concepts onto the game more easily (you never leave your ship, so clearly you've been grafted into it somehow. Duh). LARPing's OK when it's not a Bethesda game.

Just like most Codexers and their house!

What's really surprising for me is that you don't see one single Bioshock game. I thought people really liked those, but apparently the franchise lost its value pretty fast.

Not really. The Bioshock issue (especially Infinite) was the huge gap of opinions between actual players and reviewers. Most people called Infinite on its shitty gunfight mechanisms from day one. The Shyamalan-esque storyline impressed more, but wasn't enough.

Lots of people still don't believe me when I say I called the ending only one hour into the game, incidentally, which tell you how retarded the gaming crowd has to be.

The Shyamalan-esque storyline

Well, they can go get fucked. What good is anything if you can't slide in some of that Lemmings?

Try sliding in gerbils instead.
