Of all the PC titles that came out before PS4/Xbox One showed up on scene, which had the best graphics, in your opinion?

Note: PS4/X1 multiplats that came out before those systems themselves, like COD Ghosts, are not eligible. Similarly, mods that weren't around before PS4/X1 came out don't count either.

So basically, if I took a time machine back to mid 2013, what's the best looking PC game I could find?

Does it count if it released on the Xbox 360 and PS3? In that case, I would go with Crysis 3.

Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Yep, multiplats with last gen are permitted, so yes, Crysis 3 is fair game.

Yeah, Crysis 3 and Metro 2, easily. Got a nice 8th gen Metro port. Would be interesting to see how C3 would look.

You had 32GB of RAM in mid 2013? Far out, I swear I didn't start reading that number in people's spec lists until like last year. XD

one of the best optimizations ever, the console version was a joke compared to this. It's sad that more developers don't do that to maintain the parity.
