Cyaegha said: When somebody can out-EA EA, you know they fucked up. I look forward to Ubisoft getting next year's Golden Poo Award. PoisonedTea said: I would not say SWTOR was a fuckup story wise. But it would have been 100x better as a coop/ single player game. Seriously, the MMO element did absolutely nothing for the game, seeing as they just heavily instanced off the servers so much that I hardly ran into players anyway. Just a watered down single player game with monthly fees. That's what SWTOR felt like to me. I dunno, maybe it's improved a lot since launch, but I'm past the point of caring anymore. PoisonedTea said: Now Bioware just need to Make a DotA Clone or MOBA with all their character in it! I was thinking Nintendo should do the same. Playing Smash Bros in a MOBA format would be interesting, and adapting the genre to a console controller shouldn't be too difficult since it's not really a traditional real-time strategy and doesn't require controlling multiple units at once. |

Dark_Chaos said: We have Smash 4. Your argument is invalid. This. And ORAS is a god tier game. |
| There was absolutely nothing I was hyped for this year but the EU release of Shin Megami Tensei IV. I'll be picking up ORAS and Smash for Wii U, but those three games are all I've been remotely excited for. It's been a pretty disappointing year overall. |
| 2014 was the year Guilty Gear Xrd and Blazblue Chronophantsama released, As well as Under night in birth and Dengeki Bunko FIghting Climax. Plus Smash 4 if you're into that sort of thing. Also HOLY SHIT TROY BAKER IS THE VOICE OF SOL BAD GUY! JOEL IS SOL! |

dity said: on playstation alone, i bought/got around 70 games this year (plus a ps4, and a vita-2000 and vita tv).  |
| I think it was a mixed year. A split between great and awful. Great games like Transistor, SSB Wii-U, Bayonetta 2, Divinity Original Sin. However, there's also the awful October-November slew of broken games. I was originally disappointed that the like of Witcher 3 and Evolve were delayed, but now I am glad they avoided the same pitfalls. |

And wtf are you talking about bribes? 1st of all, Famitsu openly admits they take bribes which is 100% comedy material. 2nd, nobody in the west gives a shit about Oprah besides housewives stuck with no internet and day time television. 3rd, support your "western dEVS are the most un Ethical people" statement instead of following 2ch opinionated bullshit. 4th, I don't understand wtf you're saying about nintendo. What about it? It has nothing to do with what I was talking about in terms of western games. Please, say eastern games |

| ^ No, I'm talking about the fucking games themselves. I'm not talking about context. Western games are appealing to a wider audience. Ubisoft /=/ all of western games. CoD /=/ all of western games. Since I can't even use terms without you putting it out of context. Western games were made to appeal to a wider audience by incorporating story into core gameplay aspects, making a brief but enjoyable game experience. And no, the reason why Eastern games (besides triple A nintendo games) aren't selling well is because Eastern games require heavy investment into them. Some are too difficult for the casual to gateway himself into games and some are too long (10-30 hours is the recommended amount of playtime, why an Eastern game advertises "over 40 hours of gameplay" is far too ridiculous). And "US games are trite" my ass. You don't even use Steam so you haven't seen the vast library of digital games there are that truly give the western experience of video games.

FGAU1912 said: There are plenty of low budget Western games that get positive reception and just as good sales. Look at Minecraft (17,000,000 copies). Look at Limbo (By 2010, over 527,000 copies). Look at Papers, Please (By March, over 500,000 copies). Stanley Parable (100,000 within the first three days). Japanese devs don't need an even playing field, just good games that appeal to a wide audience. There's a reason why mobile games are dominating Japan (From what I've read). The reason why Nintendo sells well in both regions is because Nintendo is smart and knows how to make games that appeal to both regions.consumer provincialism is the biggest reason that easter games do nt sell was wellin the west any more and the fact that Japanese devs that i play most games for have smaller ad bugets than most westen devs ghave if the ply field was more even then it them Japanese games that alot of people want rlesred in the west would be so and even if ther y people d not back the with ther wallets much so they do not get relsred [ the ad buagets thing is the same for the Japanese devs im ta;k about even in Japan] |

| Also, calling western games sick because of one or two games? Call of Duty always tries to add some "edginess" to their games to escalate their sales ever since MW2. Nobody even likes Call of Juarez: the Cartel lol. Why are you blaming Western games for horrible ethics when Eastern games also have this: And this And this  Saying western games are morally wrong without including Eastern games is illogical because not one region is mentally fucked up but the world itself is. |

| "If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine" When the union's inspiration through the workers' blood shall run There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one For the Union makes us strong |
| I don't consider Oliver North a war criminal but that's entering a side of politics I could not give a shit about right now. It's all about the context though. What's the point of restricting "War criminals" in a game about war? Not also that, in the Oliver North trailer, was he talking about his 1980s contra affair? Not at all. He was only talking about how war is worrisome and national security. There was no endorsement of "warcrimes" just a statement of forewarning on war. And LOL NO Black Ops II is not racist. Please identify the racism. You can't, because that isn't the point of the game. You're just playing "Dudes with guns" fighting against "Other dudes with guns". I don't understand your point of view cuz it's just malarky Also the reason why Tomodachi life received flak is because a life sim with no gays? It's a life simulator, it should have stuff like that. It deserves all the hate, hell, it's not even that hard to program it. |
|
| Kind of and I don't really care about what game is popular, atm. FGAU1912 also needs to shut up about his Japanese games extremism, because us new posters may not be interested. If a game is fun, then who cares about it's genre or place of origin? Would FGAU1912, please shut up? |

A man can be stubborn when it comes to politics but when it comes to politics in a fucking entertainment game, there should be no reason to. Why refuse an audience already giving you media flak to get more media flak? It's stupid, they should have just did what the SJWs said.

| Maybe the devs were Christfags that think homosex is a sin, I don't know. My point is, it's up to the developers to decide what to include or not in their game. Sure you can be annoyed if they omit something you like, but there's no point acting like you're entitled to it. If it offends you, just don't buy it. |
| GTA 5, Alien Isolation, The Evil Within, Lord of the rings: Shadow of Mordor... seemed like a pretty good year to me. |
Baman said: Buying a product allows you some entitlement. It also allows you to criticize Nintendo/call it shit based on product quality. Entitlement is not a negative word as many people make it seem to be. Tomodachi Life is a life sim but I can't life sim a gay couple named "Wario & Waluigi" even though I bought it? Comeon tell me, why can't I call it shit? Why can't I say Nintendo fucked up?

How the fuck does that qualify as "bad year"? 2013 in comparison was way worse. Was AW that good?I have always played cod4 only,the rest of the series I didn't really care,except when Price was 627 in MW2,that shit was awesome. |

The release of Assassin's Creed Unity was practically disastrous. The game was riddled with bugs and was just plainly the same type of game again. As for Advanced Warfare, it's the best CoD in years but is still pretty much typical CoD fare. More a cinematic experience than an actual game. |
 |
| Although we did have some good releases this year, the disappointments definitely outweighed the successes. Sure we had some great games such as Dark Souls 2 and The Evil Within, but for the most part, we were given defective games like AC: Unity and games that were just one big marketing ploy, I'm looking at you Destiny. I've got to agree that 2014 was a bad year in gaming, but definitely not the worst. |

Asscreed unity review censorship scandal bugsbugsbugs microtransactions. as for AW Its best COD since COD4. With actual weapons that are not from "LOLTRUREALISMWARAGAINSTTERRORISTS" genre. And jump packs. And airdodging. Jump packs change a LOT in gameplay. Its no longer about running around in tight hallways, if you can just fly over all above and stomp people to death. Its a lot more based on moving around and being good at predicting people - if you point and shoot at someone flying they will just dash to the side or stomp you. The equipment drops and unique gun stats, etc, make the progression far more enjoyable too. |

| The only game I currently play (CS:GO) has gained a lot of popularity and the scene got a lot bigger in 2014. The only unfortunate part was that a few pros were banned for cheating recently and there has been a witch hunt to try and catch more of them. There was also a possibility of them cheating on LAN and since they were part of good international teams they won a good chunk of cash during that time. Anyway, hopefully the scene continues to grow. Haven't really followed the console scene a lot since switching back to PC.. |

| I don't know how Anita Sarkeesian could even be considered a bad influence on the industry. Even if she's abrasive and often has factually wrong arguments, her cause isn't a bad one at all. Playing the same 'gruff 30-year-old white man driven by revenge' over and over gets boring. Video games have incredible potential for storytelling and it limiting itself to one type of protagonist actively hinders that potential. Yes, I do want more female, non-white and bisexual/homosexual characters in video games. And that doesn't make me a feminist. It just means I care about games. As for the games themselves, yeah, 2014 sucked. Half of what was released was broken while the other half was simply mediocre. I honestly can't think of anything this year that really stood out to me as being exemplary. I'm more interested in playing a Japan-only JRPG (閃の軌跡2) than anything that came out in the west. |
