My favourite game of 2014

I think we all have our favourite game of 2014, which isn´t always what you expect and sometimes it´s exactly the game you expect. Because my favourite game is a game I´ve been waiting for a long time! I already thought I would like it and I did, to be honest I still enjoy playing it eventhough I beat it several times already. Which game am I talking about? Well keep on reading if you´re curious!


What about other games in 2014? Of course there isn´t just one cool game in a year, there are several and sometimes it´s tough to pick a favourite. For example I really enjoyed playing the Wolf Among Us and it was my favourite in 2013, play episodes 2, 3, 4 and 5 was a lot of fun and I hope that they make another season of this game like they did with the Walking Dead. Watchdogs is also a game I enjoyed playing but it didn´t kept me playing it after I beat it, which is a shame because I think the game has potential. Destiny is also a favourite of mine, but it´s too repetitive to call that my game of the year. Assassin´s Creed Unity and Assassin´s Creed Rogue are fun games but in a way more of the same and let´s not forget about the issues in AC Unity! This also counts for the Master Chief Collection, it looks great but the issues did give it a negative taint. Far Cry 4 is also a beautiful game, but it still feels a lot like Far Cry 3 and that´s not really a bad thing but doesn´t make it more special.


So what is my favourite game of 2014? It´s Dragon Age: Inquisition! Why this game? If you´ve been a fan since the first game (Dragon Age: Origins) then you´re probably in the middle of a world that´s gone crazy. Dragon Age 2 made things a bit crazier and also faster. It´s nice to see that in Dragon Age: Inquisition things seem to come to a point where you get answers and yet the game stays interesting. It´s not that everything is clear now, but things are making sense and you´re just one person in an ever changing world. Your choices have influence in the world, in a way you shape the world with the decisions you make and that gives you a unique experience. Also the fact that you can play with a fully customizable character creates a special experience, which makes it fun to play the game multiple times and see how the world responds differently to your character. It´s a personal journey in a fantasy world, if that´s your thing then Dragon Age: Inquisition will give you an unforgettable experience!


Of course this is my opinion, maybe you have your own favourite for your own reasons. Which is perfectly fine because if we all like the same things then the world would be boring, it´s good that there is diversity and that keeps the world interesting. Anyway I hope 2014 was a good year for you and I wish you a lot of fun playing games in 2015!

Button bashing

It seems that more and more games want you to smash on the buttons of the controller, which seems like fun but knowing that this weak piece of plastic can´t handle much it´s not the smartest way to handle your controller. In the good old arcade days I could smash on buttons, ok nothing too crazy but at least those machines had a lot more resilience than these weak controllers we have now. You have to pay a small fortune for one of them and they fall apart with the slightest bit of force you use. After smashing a couple of controllers out of frustration I learned to be careful with them, but when games force you to be an agressive button basher it doesn´t really help. Button bashing is nothing new but I do seem to see it in more and more games, even games that could easily do without this abusive way of treating your controller. Instead of button bashing people came up with the idea to press a certain series of buttons in a sequence, I first saw this in God of War which was fun. But s...

Sinful Sunday: Why are you so serious?

When I play a game I don't want to be serious, I just want to have fun and relax. Honestly real life is serious enough and I don't need that in games. Who cares who wins or who loses, just have fun and that already makes it great! Unfortunately there are gamers that take certain games way too serious, so serious that they literally forget to have fun which is quite frustrating to deal with. These kind of players are so serious that they probably left the fun behind when they started the game. Sigh... Serious gamers are lame gamers? There is nothing wrong about being serious, but I think there is a time and a place for everything. When I play a game with my friends then I'm not being serious nor am I serious when I start up some random multiplayer match. Sure it's nice to win but it's not everything! Things become more serious when there is something at stake, for example in ranked matches or during a tournament. I understand that things are more serious there an...

Mortal Kombat X isn´t just another fighting game?

You´ve probably seen the announce trailer of Mortal Kombat X, then you probably also know that it shows two familiar characters fighting against eachother. At that point you´re probably still thinking that it´s just more of the same but with a better coat of paint, I understand that pessimist look and it´s not often wrong. But from what I´ve heard about Mortal Kombat X is that it´s going to be more than just a new game in the Mortal Kombat game series. What´s new? Apparently there will be more fighting styles for one character, giving everyone his or her own favourite style to use against opponents. There was something familiar in another Mortal Kombat game where they also had weapons in a fighting style, but this seems to go a bit deeper and more unique. Of course these are just words at this point, nothing has been proven just yet! But this would make it more fun to play against other people and see who masters the ultimate style, but I´m certain that there is a counter style f...
