Those of us who've actually played Titanfall would disagree. But if a PS4 was my main platform this gen, I'd be upset too.

@lgbt4rever Why not? I loved Far Cry 4. One of my personal games of the year. Also The Division looks really interesting. Generally Ubisoft do a great job with making games I really like. I just think they had a bit of a bad year is all. And as I said, Watch Dogs was a good game - just not quite what was promised IMO.

@cameronrobinson @lgbt4rever Assuming that in order to maintain good relations with a party by offering a biased opinion about a product for future encounters is what we would consider an absence of journalistic integrity.

And yeah, FC4 nailed it. Just a shame Watchdogs and Unity weren't what they could have been.

NHL15 was a huge disappointment for me, and not because of the missing game features. I found the game to be incomplete in many ways. The in-game presentation was very lacking in its statistical analysis and could have included little details like out-of-town scores. The AI was straight-up horrendous, even though adjusting sliders made it a little better. The AI was very unbalanced. Be-A-GM and Be-A-Pro modes were really stripped down with very little to do outside of the actual games. I was expecting next-gen polish and shine with the extra console power going to executing the immersion more than past games and it felt like a huge let down.

I still love playing hockey and the in-game is still fun, but for the most part it is among the worst NHL games in the franchise, in my humble opinion. I hope they answer the call next year and fix many things, but I am afraid that they will cater heavily on the online league, which I could care less about.

lol Love you Seb and Cam :) Lucy too ;o


I wasn't really disappointed with Watch Dogs, loved the game tbh. Some minor things annoyed me though. Like when you're in the car listening to music, and when you're passing by a criminal activity spot, the music gets interrupted and you automatically start the activity :s That was pretty dumb imo.

This show is amazing. Cam and Seb still bringing the humor now that Danny has left for the States. Dust sandwiches, anyone?

2014 has been an awful year. I'm spending much more time catching up on old ps3 games than on my ps4. Funny that's how it was after launch last year as well... Should have just waited with next gen it's been a huge waste so far

2014 was a bad year for high profile games. Everything else is a different story. Games like Dark Souls 2, The Wolf Among Us, Transistor, Shovel Knight, and Nintendo games like Mario Kart 8, Smash Wiiu/3DS, Bayonetta 2, and Captain Toad were all great.

@lukey52 Well,so far on PS4 you have alst year's PS3 titles,now at higher resolution,not that you'd really noticed that from your couch anyway,but it's next-gen...

It's sad that instead of adding backwards compatibility they went on remastering most of the games from a year ago which is stupid,and those remastering are not really needed to begin with,sure Sleeping dogs needed one,eventually,since the game was crap on consoles from both performance and visual standpoint,but now it isn't like the PS3 looks so bad it needs most of it's games remastered or anything,sure the PS2 looks like utter shite on a fullHD TV,hell on any HD TV.

I hate to admit it, but I have been trying to defend "PoopySoft" amidst all of this negative press, but I just checked my level for "Initiates" online a few seconds ago and realized that after the 7 Gig Patch, "PoopySoft" managed to lower my level for "Initiates" from level 12 to 4!!!!


OMG, damn you "PoopySoft!!" Why this when I was just about to get the Italian Ezio Audiotore outfit! I just needed to reach level 13 initiates to get it , but NO "PoopySoft" fvcked up my leveling, now I will never get the outfit or anything with a higher requirement.


*sighs*


I think it's time I uninstall this game, buy Dragon Age, and use my 40 Gig+ of space for a new adventure in Inquisition. I am desperately trying to have fun for before I have to go back to college next semester.


*smh*

@nayce54 Aww sorry to hear that :(

I have not played AC Unity. But I can tell you Inquisition is great :D I am rather enjoying it, and it is my first DA game.


I had a battle with two Great Bears today, they have like, 14000 HP O_O I used Cassandra as a decoy, making her run around and bears chasing her, while me, Varric and Solas shoot them with stuff while they're distracted lol

@meedokicky @nayce54 I'm really enjoying DA:I myself. Loving the tactics involved. My party is now myself as a marksman, Dorian as a fire mage, Cole DW rogue, and Cassandra as tank. I craft all the best gear for Cassandra as she's a beast... Cole dies all the time though when we're up against dragons and the what not.

I would think Destiny is the biggest disappointment, or it would have gotten GOTY.

@medafaded If GOTY was based on advertising then it would have been a sure thing. Only advert on TV to get my dad to say "when's that out, I wouldn't mind seeing that" ... he thought it was a movie.

Even my Grandad put the paper down to watch the advert.

@Ayato_Kamina_1 @medafaded Hahahaha thats funny. Yea if they tried as hard with the game as they did with the ads. It could have been one of the best FPS ever, but they wanted to hustle their fans, and strip the game of content.

Assassin's Creed Unity was the biggest disappointment of the year, unquestionably, for me.

Ubisoft, hands down, won another year of disappointments. The name is now synonymous with poor quality, cookie-cutter production, and absolute miserable QA/support that warrants the loss of jobs in droves. They have run their own name through the mud so often that it's now comical to see themselves shoot themselves in the foot as often as they do.


Good call on the Skyrim MMO. One of the most enjoyment-draining experiences of my life was doing a 3-month run with a friend. It was an endless "fly through the dialog, go somewhere, do a thing, come back for reward, repeat." Horrible.

@aegis_kleais That's what MMOs are about nowadays. You have WoW to thank for that.

I think its easier to list the 3 games that were good this year.

As it stands now 2014 now holds the crown for worst year yet in my ~29 years of gaming.


2015 looks to be either one amazing year or a year that tops this one with the shear amount of utter crap.

I feel the same way. I do have a few good titles I'm anticipating on the horizon for 2015 though.

Gigantic, gray goo, over watch, evolve, heroes of the storm, Dreadnaught, Ori and the blind forest, kingdom Underfire 2, no mans sky, phantom dust reboot, and maybe Camelot unchained will release some gameplay info.

I had forgotten about Thief. Yes, what a huge disappointment that was. An attempt to resurrect what was once one of THE pinnacle stealth franchises, only to see it fall flat on it's face. I am just glad the same has not happened with Deus Ex.

@Pierce_Sparrow Agree, it was such a negative surprise to me that the developers that made near perfect Deux Ex: Human Revolution scraped this game so much. Like they said, Dishonored already made thief a failure years before!
