Your favourite game of 2014? What are you looking forward to in 2015?


Recommended Posts

Another year draws to a close. Many games have been hyped, marketed, released, patched and played. Some were even good. What kept your attention for more than 10 minutes this year? And what do you hope can do the same next year?

Toss up between Horizons 2 and Far Cry 4 on XB1, and Ethan Carter on PC, which i only got because of a review here and found it outstanding.

As for 2015, nothing yet, sometimes my favourite games are the best surprises. So come on publishers and devs, get surprising me!

My favs so far, NFS Rivals (fun game) and Wolfenstien The New Order (absolutely incredible!), both played on PC.

For next year Id like another NFS game, but bring back customizations like the Underground games.

Not sure what Id want for a FPS, maybe another Wofenstien or new Battlefield.

My nominees for GOTY (which for me the criteria is just having fun playing them)...

  • Far Cry 4
  • Wolfenstein: New Order
  • Driveclub

 

Honorable Mentions

  • The Evil Within
  • Forza Horizon 2

 

This has been a pretty strange year in games for myself. Games I should have liked, I really did not. I also found myself getting bored very easily with games (I still have only played about 2 hours of Sunset Overdrive for no good reason).

 

Currently I have an insane backlog, and it truly is insane (over 10 high profile titles), yet I am mainly playing "smaller games," in particular

Xeodrifter (3DS Game) and The Walking Dead: Season 02, with some Driveclub for good measure.

 

I think this year more than ever was the year that reflects the fact I really do not have a lot of time to play games, so I gravitate towards quicker experiences rather than long drawn out experiences. Far Cry 4 was the exception to that rule, but I also started playing it when I had a week off from work.

2014?  Titanfall.  What, there were other games?  (Actually Shadow of Mordor was awesome.)

 

Future...Other than Dying Light and Crackdown I'm not sure what I should really be excited by

Favorite Games of 2014:

 

PS4 Multiplayer:  Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition (because of couch co-op with the gf and even 4 player couch coop with other couples who come over)

PS4 Singleplayer:  Shadow of Mordor (note I haven't tried Dragon Age: Inquisition as it came out too late and is thus on the top of my Christmas List, same deal for FarCry 4)

 

PC:  Wasteland 2

 

Overall: I'm going to go with Diablo III just because of the social experiences I've had with it this year.  We really need a Rock Band 4 for PS4 as a nice get together game but for now Diablo III will do.

 

Looking forward to for 2015:

 

PS4 Multiplayer:  Alienation (I think that's couch coop...)

PS4 Singleplayer:  Batman: Arkham Knight

 

PC: Witcher 3

PC Honorable Mention: (all of which I happen to have backed on Kickstarter)

Pillars of Eternity

Torment: Tides of Numenera

Limit Theory

Satellite Reign

The Mandate

 

PC Longshots: (Backed and would make the list but but I doubt they'll be out in 2015)

Kingdom Come: Deliverance

Star Citizen

I'd say my favorite game this year was Titanfall.  It provided a ton of fun and a good change of pace in the multiplayer area from call of duty.  Granted, I think the game I'm most looking forward to for 2015 is The Division and maybe Quantum Break which also looks awesome.  But definitely The Division.

In order

1. NHL 15 (even though it was gutted of features)

2. Forizon 2

3. Titanfall

biggest disappointments

1.WWE 2K15 (they botched the game, ruined the controls)

2.COD MP. After sinking 100+ hours, ive come to the conclusion Ghosts was way better

looking forward to

1.Halo 5

2.the next NHL

3.the next COD

4.Uncharted 4(will rent console for this,not buying a ps4)
