Top 10 Best Games of 2014
3. Bayonetta 2
Xbox and PlayStation owners who don't have a Wii U are definitely missing out when it comes to Bayonetta 2. Bayonetta 2 is even better than the original Bayonetta which is saying a lot. Basically it takes everything the first game does and just improves upon it. The combat in particular is a lot more polished. The fact it is one of the few M-rated games for Wii U is also something to be heralded.
Bayonetta 2 has already been nominated for several Game of the Year awards from major publications and even won a few. It was one of the highest reviewed games of the year for consoles and scored just one point lower than the game listed at number one on this list.
Bayonetta 2 also upset some radical feminists who whined about it being sexist. Just icing on the cake as to why it was one of the best games of 2014.
Atleast 3 genre defining games on the list, and 3 is Wii U exclusive.
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Advanced Warfare, Dying Light, FarCry 4, GTA 5?????????? How are any of these games on here before those
Can I play Darks Souls II if I haven't played the others or should I play the other one(2) first?
No Dragon Age:Inquisition? Really? You have got to be kidding!!
Tell Tale's game of thrones has been very interesting. The 3rd episode should be released any day now. I am curious as to where it's going
supersmash bros is awesome with lil mac
While I was reding this list I thought about the interesting choices that the author put on this list. I might not have put some of these games on this list. But alas, this is not my list. Someone went out of their way to show the internet some of the games he's into. So you'd think the internet would give him at least a shred of respect.
Seems I'm wrong.
People need to wake up to themselves here. The way this list was treated was appaluling. People going out of their way to absolutely destroy whatever they don't like. There is a difference between a comment and an insult. Clearly some people don't know that. This is a comment section after all. You comment on the list not make out like you're the best in the world just because you're behind a computer screen. It's time for people to know when to back off. The world does not revolve around you.
P.S. I would have put up the same game for number one.
I was interested until the author made an immature and unneeded rip on feminists. Garbage like that makes me ashamed of being a lifetime gamer.
come on dragons age inquisition not in the top 10?? Agree re Dark Souls 2! Those are my number 1 and 2
Shadows of Mordor ?
No offense, but to me, Shadow of Mordor was not what it was hyped to be. It was a hack and slasher with absolutely no story to speak of. Who even does that!!??
Yeah, let's just casually forget Inquisition...
Bayonetta 2 is a masterpiece. I love the game and I highly recommend it to everyone. Awesome job Platinum Games!
Everybody needs to stop crying. Its not that bad of a list,these were All good games some not great im looking at you titanfall and some were amazing like wolfenstein and evil within and super smash bros. To the person who wants watch dogs on the list come on worst game of the year. I do think shovel knight, transistor and shadow of mordor should be on this list though they were all great games. My #1 game was wolfenstein just a well put together beautiful action packed game same with bayonetta 2 both top of my list. Instead of talking smack on this list why don't you put up you're perfect list and show everybody what a true gamer's list should look like.
What, in the holiest of hells, did I just read?
Firstly, to the person in the comments that asked "what about Sleeping Dogs" ... it's a 2012 game, it wouldn't be on a 2014 list. One comment as terrible as the list it's attached to.
Titanfall didn't do as well as people expected and dropped a lot of players because, while it did do some things right, it didn't do much of anything. A full price arena shooter that offers a bare minimum when there are a lot of other available for free. It was never going to be huge.
Hearthstone ... laugh? I nearly wet myself.
Next year I suggest playing some games or getting a better opinion than you obviously got from the drunk teenager that gave you that list.
This looks like a top 10 best games from somebody who has never touched a game.
Where the hell was alien isolation?!
you obviously have a bias against indie games.... the banner saga and transistor are better than half the games on this list.
List to sell big company titles, all 10, too obvious....
number one should be super smash bros wii U!
A quirky list. I was left asking about the elephant in the room titles such as cod advanced warfare or gta. I noticed an insinuation of this with Titan falls. This is a mega blockbuster at number 9. I mean come on this game is on a level which I have never seen. For those of you who have never played it; you should. This game style has been dreamed about for 20 years. The notion of a call of duty style first person shooter where you literally climb into a robot of mega destruction is breath taking. Over all, this list captured wii u as a dominat force in next gen consols. As it should. After all, Xbox 1 and ps4 don't have many titles. Quite frankly, do we really have to wait untill next Christmas to get games worthy of these new super machines. Most, if not all gamers, could have stayed with PS3 and 360. Good thing I had a wii u before I got my super machine with no software.
Holy Christ this list is garbage.
I think smash bros, Mario Kart 8, and The Evil within Kinda deserve to be on this list. It doesn't really matter though cuz its based on 1s opinions. If this were my list I would Have Like 20 games or more cuz I like almost every game.
Definitely agree with Wolfenstein, MK8 and SUPEEER SMAAAASH BROTHEEEEEEERS!, but where was Shovel Knight?
Where the hell is lords of the fallen?
this list sucks it should be destiny for number one!
This list sucks. Where is Alien: Isolation?
I love Wolfenstein: The New Order! I already finished it three times and i will again, and again...
how about watch Dogs and sleeping Dogs because they are GREAT GAMES
Thank Christ Shadow of Mordor did not make it. Most overrated game of the year by far.
Cod avanced warfare!
Hahahaha, you lost me at Titanfall!
