Which game requires the highest PC configuration?

Solution
Just my opinion, really, but Watch_Dogs quite doesn't qualify, seen the ridiculous optimization towards Nvidia...
I mean, I had a hard time running it constantly at 60fps on medium-high settings, 1080p resolution, while friends of mine and reports of people all over the internet could run the same without too much effort...
The only difference between me and them is that I have an Asus R9 290x DCUII OC, while others usually have a GTX 770 of the cheapest available partner...

To be accurate, however, I literally played on release week, so some patches which improved performance might have (hopefully) gotten out by now.

A heavily modded Skyrim comes to mind.
Exceed with mods in terms of quantity (you're limited to 255 mods anyway) or texture resolution, and it can bring a top-tier system to its knees pretty fast, even more than most modern games...

-Any of the Crysis games
-BF3 & BF4 & Hardline, especially in 64 player matches
-Watch Dogs
-Titanfall
-Destiny
-Far Cry 3 & 4
-Tomb Raider
-Metro: Last Light
-Any heavily modded Bethesda game, not just Skyrim. With an ENB, a bunch of high res texture replacers, and a load of script heavy gameplay mods, it'll really hit your system hard.
-There are a few others.
