Games I Want in 2014

2014 looks good, but after 2013 it's pretty clear that any year after would be a step down. Still, here's a few of games I'm most excited for. Can't really think of ten games I'm super excited for, so here's eight

8. Infamous: Second Son

I'll be honest, the main reason I'm excited for this is to see how a PS4 exclusive I actually want to play as a game takes advantage of the hardware. I've always liked Infamous, but never really loved it that much. However, I do like the look of the game a lot more, as the characters look better than Cole and Zeke (not that it's hard to do that) while the mountain area looks new and interesting for an open world game. Hopefully the new powers are different also, though I'm expecting this guy to mostly be Cole with a twist in terms of gameplay.

7. Titanfall

I really loved what I played of Mechanical Assault 2 that one summer I had Live for my original Xbox. Sadly, the 360 never really got another great mech shooter. Chromehounds was alright and while I heard the Transformers games were good, I don't like that franchise at all. So Titanfall looks to be the mech shooter I've always wanted.

6. Metal Gear Solid V: The Ground Zeroes

Only number six because I have no idea what to expect from this. How long is it? How open is the game? Will Kojima offer the good kind of weird or bad kind of weird? Oh well, even when a MGS game isn't great like 2 or 4, they're always worth playing.

5. Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney 

I love the Ace Attorney series, but will admit that the investigations can drag on a lot. So replacing them with Professor Layton puzzles in a Puritan witch trial sounds like a great idea. Plus, Maya Fey will be back and I fucking love her.

4. Bayonetta 2  

Bayonetta is one of my favorite action games, so I’m excited to get a part two with online co-op.

3. Kirby Triple Deluxe 

Kirby’s Return to Dreamland was my favorite game from 2011, andTriple Deluxe looks to keep everything that made it fun with a few new ideas to keep things fresh.

2. South Park: The Stick of Truth 

South Park is one of my favorite shows, and Obsidian is one of my favorite developers. Couple them together in a game that nails the look and feel of the show with plenty of RPG goodness and we look to have a winner here.

1. Destiny 

I’ve loved everything Bungie’s made, and Destiny does not look to change this. Everything about it looks to take what makes Halo great and enhance it to make a more fun game.

I feel the same as yourself for MGS V. I'm leaning towards just waiting for the inevitable Ground Zeroes/Phantom Pain bundle

I've got too many friends who are MGS fans to wait for that. Half the fun with MGS to me is talking about it with them, though that's to a greater extent with 2 and 4 than 1 and 3.

The only one that I would add at the top of this list is The Witcher 3.  Otherwise I am looking forward to all of these games.

That reminded me I forgot about Dragon Age Inquisition, which looks fantastic. Seems to be the first great RPG of the PS4/Xbone era.

I am a little worried about Dragon Age Inquisition.  I hope that it is great.  I have no doubt that The Witcher 3 is going to be great.  It should be amazing even if they are able to fulfill half of the things that they are trying to do with the game.

Bioware just clicks with me more than either Witcher game did. Inquisition also looks like a great return to form, I'm not worried about it.

 It's kinda stupid that Destiny isn't coming to PC. Actually, no, but the "reason" it isn't is. Bungie said that Destiny just isn't a game that would work on PC. Right. So an FPS MMO wouldn't work on PC? You know, the place where those two genres arguably work best, or at least where they originated from? Fucking retards.

Casey Curran Staff Writer

That is a stupid reason, but they have to give some half assed excuse. Because you know the real reason is some stupid Activision CEO decision no one wants to admit to. Hopefully it gets changed partway through like Dark Souls or with at least one of the sequels.

 Look, I'd be fine if they were making this an xbox exclusive, but they aren't. It's coming to PS4, PS3, Xbox one, and Xbox 360, so Bungee are kinda just being dicks about it. It's not like they can't develop for pc either, because that's where their fucking origins are.

Casey Curran Staff Writer

01/08/2014 at 01:07 AM

Yeah, I agreed with it. They don't have a good reason, but they have to give something other than "We don't want to" or if anyone at Activision is being a dick about it.

I'm sure you've read my blog on what I'm looking forward to. 

All I can say is, hooray for Phoenix Wright and Kirby!

One more thing I know: Bayonetta likes to eat lollipops.  I don't like lollipops, so she can have all of mine.

Casey Curran Staff Writer

Yeah, I saw yours. There's a few games I wanted on there also, but I can wait on DKC and Yoshi for a sale. Smash Bros I'll probably get day one though whenever that comes out.

I looking forward to Bayonetta 2, too.  Not looking forward to putting up the money for a Wii U to play it on though.  I'll probably preorder Bayonetta 2 and wait for a Wii U price drop. 

Casey Curran Staff Writer

Wii U's at least getting a good stream of games. DKC, Bayonetta, and X all look great while Mario 3D World is fantastic. I'm sure Nintendo will offer more than a few more games that will make one worthwhile.

I want to give that Professor Layton/Phoenix Wright game a try. I've always wanted to try their games. I'm with you on the Infamous games. I like them, but I never loved them.

You can get the first three PW games pretty cheap on iPhone in HD. They're really great games.

Metal Gear Solid V is definitely my #1. I don't know enough about Destiny yet, probably closer to launch though.

Casey Curran Staff Writer

01/07/2014 at 11:29 PM

Yeah, I didn't even realize Ground Zeroes was seperate until a month ago. Just thought we'd have to wait for it with Phantom Pain in 2015.

That's cool they're releasing Ground Zeroes earlier I think, even if it just a taste. Back in the day, the original Zone of the Enders was purchased by people just for the MGS2 demo included with it. I was definitely one of those people. I enjoyed ZOE though.

I wish TitanFall was on PS4 too. I don't want to buy a Xbox One and I hate Origin...but I may just bite the bullet and deal with Origin to play on PC.

Casey Curran Staff Writer

01/08/2014 at 12:18 AM

I'm just getting Titanfall on 360. Don't think I'd get an Xbone or go with the PC version if it wasn't on there.

MGSV will probably make my library. Bayonetta 2 definitely will be a day-one purchase. I'm going to download Phoenix Wright off the 3DS eShop and try it out, and if it's good, Layton vs. Wright may be an option. South Park might be good if they can ever get it out the door. Seems like it's been stuck in development hell since THQ tanked, but that's not the first time Obsidian has had trouble finishing a game, as much as I loved their work on Fallout: New Vegas.

Destiny... I'll definitely have to play a demo first. If I enjoy the demo enough, I might break down and get the game. FPS's are not prominent in my game library, but they do have their place there if they're enjoyable.

The 3DS PW game is surprisingly newcomer friendly, I couldn't really remember any spoilers to past PW games. You can also get the first three cheaper on iOS. Know you're not big on touch screen games, but the interface works great for the series. I think you'd like them either way you go. 

Hopefully you like Destiny. Know we'll get some game nights out of it.

Some good games here. I need to get back into Kirby games. It has been too long. 2014 is looking a little blah for me. I'm hoping for some unannounced stuff to help bolster the current line-up.

Casey Curran Staff Writer

01/08/2014 at 02:55 AM

I have high hopes for E3. Nintendo always announces 2-3 cool looking games for it, I'm sure Bioware will have a new Mass Effect or their new IP, and Bethesda will reveal Fallout 4. SHUT UP IT'S HAPPENING! 

Sucks that Return to Dreamland is still $50 too. I mean, that game's worth every penny IMO, but I completely understand not wanting to spend that much on a 2 year old game.

DESTINYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

See you on the beta, good sir.

Still feels weird to see you hyped for an FPS.

good list, although I'm not really hyped for Titanfall or Bayonetta.  I didn't really like the first Bayonetta, and not because of the character, just didn't like the gameplay. 

I am however quite excited to play Destiny with my brother and friends.  That will be awesome. 

Casey Curran Staff Writer

01/08/2014 at 04:19 PM

Yeah I think it's pretty safe to say Bayonetta 2 will be more of the same, hopefully with the shit parts cut out. Either way, more Bayonetta's fine by me.

Keeping my eye out for Titan Fall and Destiny. I miss my mech titles of yesteryear. Destiny I'm still on the fence about if only to see how the player interactions will be like.
