Mod who is convinced he is doing a good job by moving my posts, PM me so I can explain why you are doing a bad job
I thought I posted this a few days ago, I log in and apparently I just closed my browser without pressing submit, or something. edit- nope, not a moron, the moron is the mod who just pasted my new thread into an old thread. Good job, moron, you added negative value to the forum. What mental processes lead to bad decisions? Only Codex mods can answer.
Anyways, the list is limited to what I actually played blah blah
Valiant Hearts (artsy fartsy but fun and good)
This War Of Mine (A very good game. It's subject matter is a bit...like, they melodramatize the idea of morality in a situation like that, in reality most people aren't actually assholes no matter what the edgy teenagers like to believe, but the best thing was that there were mechanical consequences for being an asshole which require you to deal with, THAT is what games can do if we go down the games-are-art avenue, it's what they have to offer)
Stanley Parable (I played it in 2014, suck my balls, but I love the game, it's a meta-game about games without being up its own asshole and it's funny)
Talos Princple (This game certainly is a bit up it's own ass, but it's still a great production and I enjoyed all the time I spent with it, I think it was a good idea the company that made it did well, and was a good idea)
Binding of Isaac Rebirth (I love the game, it's a matter of taste about how you like games like this, but honestly even though Ih ave 20 games I have on Steam and Origin that need to be played, I keep going back to Rebirth just because it's engaging, I'm also one of the few people who isn't turbo-butthurt about the new soundtrack, I like it)
Bayonetta 2 (I finally played this game because during my Christmas vacatiion my family bought a Wii U so we could play Mario Kart 8 together, and I got this because I desperately wanted to play it since Platinum made the best game ever made MGR: Revengeance, and it was honestly pretty great. It's actually pretty fucking hard, you can win even if you're bad like me, but if you care you can learn to be better, I can see clearly how that happens. It's so fun. However, the dialogue and story bits are painful to watch, just skip them.)
Mario Kart 8 (of course, every mario kart game is always good)
Transistor (Yeah it's not as good as Bastion, but it's still pretty great)
FTL: Advanced Edition (Except for the final boss, FTL is always fun to play)
Prison Architect (Surprisingly enjoyable city-builder sort of game, I actually found myself spending a ton of time playing it recently, it's like Startopia or Theme Hospital in the way it works)
Wolfentstein New Order
The best game of 2014:
Metal Gear Rising Revengeance (It's the best game of every year. No game will ever top it, so as long as I am on this forum I will claim it's the best game of that year)
Worst Game of 2014:
Planetary Annihilation (fuck the people who made this. This is the one early access swindle I fell for in my whole life. Other people want to try and say it's not so bad, just not very good, but I think it's a poorly designed piece of shit, they did a terrible job and fuck them for taking a dump on Total Annihilation. Never again)
I have other games I've bought but not played yet, actually kind of a large backlog now. Having a real job sucks in that way, you don't get to play games all day
