Sonic Boom Wii U, ayy lmao

That game is so overly-criticized it's not even funny. Yes, it's not great and it's very poorly debugged, but it's nowhere near as bad as people make it out to be. It's no Sonic 06, at least in the sense that it's entirely playable.

Sonic 06 is entirely playable tho, Start to finish is possible, ill go as far as to agree Sonic Boom is on equal level to 06, not worse nor better

GOTY? The only game I basically played all year was Dark Souls 2!

It's really fun, especially PvP which is full of challenging players or easy pray

pick a lance of your choice

If I have to select one game for what I played 2014 then that would be:

best RPG I played 2014 and probably ever.










not really, Chrono Trigger is the best ever.

It's impossible to make bad game as sonic 06 again, oh boy..

That's my point - Sonic 06 was so poorly coded it was infuriating to just "play" it - Sonic Boom isn't like that, it doesn't deserve the sh*t it gets, I've played much worse.

Just because the game can be played from start to finish doesn't mean it's playable, don't give me that. I've played suffered it on a number of platforms and the game is filled with game-breaking glitches, it's only playable if you have the iron will of a mental patient with an obsession.

By the way, in my opinion sonic boom on 3DS is not that bad, i think its mediocre.

To be fair...

Never encountered that one, but I wish I did! Like I said, the game's nothing to write home about, it's something to keep the kids busy, but it's not "offensively bad" and it could've been that. Lost World is far superior if someone's looking for a Sonic game for the Wii U.

It's well-constructed, but somewhat repetitive, yes.

The Stick of Truth. I played 3-4 games that came out out in 2014 and I have enjoyed it the most.

It's a tossup between Depression Quest and Revolution 60.
Anyone who disagrees is obviously a Mysogonystic shitlord pissbaby!

That's not too hard.

it is very hard.
ffxiii had an engaging battle system that never got old.

Ahaha, oh prowler, you are such a jokster! So droll!

Wait... You're serious. Okay...

*Backs away and leaves prowler with his Final Hallway XIII and its "plays itself" AKA "we just want to make movies" battle system.*

Plus it wasn't a big failure as 06 was in that 06 made huge ambitions and claims but failed while boom did not

 

[Xoo00o0o0o]

Dark Souls 2 every day of my life.

Every.
Day.
Of.
My.
Life.

Spoiler

This. So much. Dark Souls is best game.

Suikoden II, that game never gets old; just bought it off PSN/SEN.if only they would re-release the whole series there....

say what you want Foxi but FFXIII has a better story than VII and isn't full of emos.
BTW the battle system bit is arguable, in most RPG you end up using a single action 99% of the time, in FFXIII the only difference is that a single button press does it for you(auto-battle), and of course you can ignore it and pick the commands yourself and play it like any other RPG. even the best RPG Chrono Trigger suffer from this, spam Luminaire or Frenzy.
the other half of the battle system, the paradigms, is helpful in the sense that if you have a healer you are guaranteed s/he WILL heal instead of fool around(hi Mitsuru, please stop using marin karin on everything).


that being said... Tales of Xillia 2 erry day.

My inner Ninten-child says Smash 4. The rest of me says Fantasy Life. I don't think I've poured as much time into a single videogame as I have with FL...

Honorable mentions to Project Diva F (another huge timesink), Transistor, and Tropical Freeze.

I made a blogpost in which I named my top 20 games played this year. However, none of these games where released this year. I admit I forgot about my wiiu, for which I bought 3 games. And I've barely played two of those, as I promised myself I wouldn't. Luckily, the last one is pretty decent as well. But I barely dare mention it: GOTY isn't exactly an award if you only played 2 games of this year (and I liked about 15 of those games of aforelinked list better than the best one). So take it with a pinch of salt, but my vote goes to...

Mario kart 8.
