When keeping a computer at home in the 1990s became a common thing, a whole generation of children immediately. He smuggled the game on them. “Look, this box can help tax tax!” “Of course, father, but it can also struggle for Sean 2: Testing with fire.” The game in the game that was excellent for the mouse and keyboard setup, such as point and click adventures, flight Sims, first person’s shooter, strategy game, and when the CD room became one thing-FFMV sports developed.
In the 2000s, things changed. PC gaming spent a decade with his death reports, often through publishers and developers who announced his Pirates’ bad hives. In 2008, Cliff Blassnesky said“I think the PC is only in corruption.” It didn’t just mean big boys, even claimed with the Medus Wabro of Indi Darling Play Dead Pirate was the reason that Lumbo launched as the Xbox 360-Special In 2010.
And then in 2011 Play Dead Timb And the supergunant Pit Crossed the border that separates the Xbox live arcade from the PC. Both studios will launch follow -up games, inside and transistor, simultaneous cross -platforms. Clearly, a lesson was learned.
Publishers in the mainstream also seem to learn it. Several months after the release of the console, after rescuing the PC version of Hassan’s profession: March 2011, Ubisoft gave Hassan’s belief: Cross -platform launch together in November this year. The console was not dead, but it was creating a permanent cough.
The PC Gaming Alliance’s Horizon Research 2011 reports a 15 % increase in profit in 2011, which costs $ 18.6 billion on PC gaming. An important part of this was China, where the consoles were banned from 2000, and where the League of Legends just started. Free -to -play games were doing so well that sports like Ever Quest 2, Team Fortress 2, and DC Universe successfully switched in 2011.
From the business aspect, it was usually a great year for sports – and especially in the species that, like the open world and the single player RPG, were once again increasingly growing at home at home.
Open world gender peaks (and you can climb on them)
Open World Games PCs are natural fit, because when you go to the top of a mountain or skyscraper building, you want a draw distance that allows you to look at the bottom upwards. As a gender described by its spaces, it is also a great place to edit these balpons, and its release Skyerium In 2011, Moods came out for a large scale. To date, the only downloaded game on Nexus Moods is the Skym Special Edition.
Back, a part of what was special about Skyireium – especially in a year, was on his map, with the profession of two killers. Open this thing and you see the city and town, giant camp, standing stones, robbers’ hideouts, basements. You see places instead of activities, and when you climb the nearest tower, they are not marked on your map, but when you really go to them.
In 2011, the Open World Fatigue was making a long journey, and it was not just because of Skyerium. We also had Batman: Arkham CityWho came to the genre from a different angle. In particular, from the top, there is a downward discomfort in the middle of a group of penguin thugs to descend a shockwave.
Arkham can fill with collective and political prisoners to save City, but it has to enjoy you that you don’t care. Watching the Ruddler Trophy in the Gulf is an excuse to reach the upper part of a tall building that you can find and get out to reach it, with movement mechanics that are never old. And which felt great on the mouse and keyboard as well as the controller. The best way to the game is to require the situation between the two, without interruption, which nowadays support the game as nowadays, but at that time it seemed revolutionary.
While the steel port is rotating around Row of Saints: Third It was also a mischief, such as a version of the Grand Stolen Auto 4 that really wanted you to drive cars as you steal them, side activities kept the series’ ridiculous feeling. The proximity questions are fine, you know, if you are taking the lion to the passenger seat that goes out of your meat whenever you slow down.
The worst thing about the Open World Games in 2011 was that they were so popular that other sports were being strancs with no good reasons, with La Nair and Mafia 2 perfect examples. If you remove you in favor of the linear structure, you will be fine.
RPGS Loots (and briefly bring them to Sims with them)
Now this is a history debate, but the success of MMORPGS in the early 2000s had convinced the fans that a single player was died of RPG (you know, as if PC was gaming). To be fair, Bioer did the shelf Nights of Old Republic 3 and rescued it again Star Wars: Old Republic In 2011, but it was a year in which the single player RPG was flourished.
Skyerium was a big ticket success, but it was not alone. Although it has come out in 2010, Fallout: New Vegas just achieved good with a good extension release in 2011 Old World Blues And a series of patches that strengthened it and dealt with the quest-breaking insects that made the ED-E recruitment a creep shoot. Now it is easy to forget, but at that time, half of us played a new vegas without his dear robotic showbunker because it was likely to end the possibility of repairing it for months after his release.
Witcher 2 There was a pleasant surprise, actually improving so dramatically as Vacher 3 will eventually improve on Vacher 2. The story took danger, with a branch, which means that two players could experience completely different works, and the fight was actually decent – if badly tutorialized.
It also looked beautiful, at least if you ignored how much Jerrent’s jerky is like a beef. Floatsums, proud monsters, and festivals fall less than the ground in the jungle outside the battlefield, where dead men fought forever under unnatural heavens, and told us a reason for upgrading their veins. If you activate the depth of ubersampling and cinema of today’s field, it will still reach the neck of a sinker like a silver sword.
Along the old Republic, the busy bioer also gave us Dragon age 2A game that was compromised, but better on the PC. I know because I played it with a fool on Xbox 360, where you had to make the button for every attack, which makes it feel like a bad action game instead of a modest decent RPG when I disclosed it myself after running on the PC-where every fighting is more wise.
It was also the home of some of the best colleagues in the series. Hurry and repeated as the Dragon Age 2, he still liked us by the works of Work, Evilian and Isabella, who is there with the best of the bioer.
Returned with the epidemic SIM Davis ex: Human revolutionWhere the Alam Sim is a technical term, which means “video game about reading most people’s emails.” Like all the Sims, it is really just an RPG where there are physics in the boxes, and it is a model of the form. In fact, the worst thing about the human revolution was that he hoped that the thief would be good. Wait, no, it was a boss fight – but at least they fixed the director’s cutters.

As the release of Basin and Lambo shows, 2011 was a great time for Indi Games on PC-especially those who ignored a big budget game.

People usually have the best of sports Great being the best of a particular year, “This is a year in which the game of beloved Zelda came out”. But 2011 is one of the years where PC gaming Especially It was not sure, and that was certainly not. We were passing through the patch to some extent, and 2011 was when PC gaming began to return.
