Its the end of 2014, so every Youtuber worth their salt makes top 10s and game awards videos for 2014.But since I only have 15 subs as of time of writing I just get to make this retrospective. Basicly this is going to be a small subjects only about games and about stuff I didn't get to talk about or just look at what I have said this year. If I had to give this year a title I would say it was the year of suprises. I was suprised to leave behind Sega and Ubisoft, I didn't like the new Quantic Dreams game, found the new Call of Duty interesting and the best game I played this year was a Zelda game.
Firstly let's start with some bad news. I no longer care about Sega. Yes that is coming like three months after I did an article about how cool Sega is I have to say that. Why am I saying that? You know why: Sonic Boom. I am the kind of guy that actually likes most of "Sonic friends" that people seem to dislike so much. And I am also the kind of guy that actually likes the unique Sonic games because they were an effort to give something good, it just was a bad idea with an okay execution. But with Sonic Boom we are looking at the same mistakes that we were looking at with Sonic 06. In an effort to hit some kind of date, Sega released two unfinised games.I thought we left that shit behind guys. I thought you learned your lesson.Apparently not. I am no longer willing to go through the motions. I was willing to get the 3DS Sonic Boom before the release and then I found out what happened. Sorry Sega but now I am on the other side of the river. If you do make a good game that I will back IT up but that is all.
The company I am not sorry to leave behind is Ubisoft. You know why! All this shit this year. We don't deserve this. Sabotaging Watch_Dogs for PC, lying about piracy statistics , the Unity turnbuckle and of course going full EA with their Uplay. Once again the Great Prophet got it months before it happened. All that shit for what? Overhyped WD , broken AC5 or (the apparently) good Far Cry 4? I am seeing it now, Uplay will be overpriced and full of bugs. You know,writing this paragraph is suprisingly easy because I don't need to explain myself. Every gamer gets angry at what I am saying. You already agree with me. Fuck Ubisoft.
Lastly I guess my game of the year game, even thought it's a game from last year:Legend of Zelda Link Between Worlds. I am absolutelly astonished I actually had to say those words, more than once, in public. I don't like LoZ games. Why is a story for another time or even never to say the truth.But why I loved this one is simple to explain. It is fun, the story is good, most of the dungeons are very fun to explore and there is little to no downtime between them. And most importantly the new mechanic: walking in walls. No that wasn't a typo. I mean inside walls. During the first dungeon Link gets the ability to merge in walls. This completely changes the way you see the world and tackle puzzles. It is one good mechanic that is done incredibly well thoughtout the game , with puzzles designed with that in mind. And here is the key: When I said that to Metax he answered among the lines " OH like Portal!." That was when it hit me. It is like Portal, and I LOVE PORTAL.Don't get me wrong I am not saying that this game is only good thanks to that. I mean it has combat which Portal lacks, and the story is very good but Portal has that . I love it. There was quite a lot of time since I was as happy to play a game.
So that is it. This year was good year in my book.Sure it had some shit in it, but I had fun. But let's face it. 2014 is nothing compared to 2015. In the first two months alone we are getting instand classics like Funk of Titans, an extremely accurate represantation of Greek mythology and very good looking gameplay. I don't even want to throw up now.
