SERVICE

thank god for gimp templates

that other game is called "around the world in 80 days" and it is on some bonzo buddy looking website

I liked the idea better than the execution tbh.

same here. it was on my ballot but i dropped it off at the last moment. i played through once, was tempted to play again just to go to a different region and/or try to get a better score, but i haven't opened it again since. but then again, i'm not really a fan of interactive fiction games so the fact that it held my attention for an hour or whatever is probably a good sign?

I liked the demo/free chapter of Dream Machine back when it was first released. The Last Door also worth a play through if you don't mind pixel art and like horror-adventure. Found most of the gameplay of With Those We Love Alive tedious clicking with no change, but did really like the arm drawing thing - and yes, you have to do it.

I'm cool with f2p city builders I guess? plus it sounds like Anus
- Euler

more or less covers my opinion
but you know what you just reminded me was that i DID play a good interactive fiction game and didn't list it in my ballot: Heavy Metal Thunder
it's great though, try it

post-apocolyptic collectible card game that i spent way too much time playing last year. like a grittier and more mechanically crunchy hearthstone (which was too cartoony for me to rep for in a poll).

not sure how i fucked that up -- that game came out on win/osx

ooh i like hohokum's art style! this poll always makes me sad that i can't afford a newer console.

i never did manage to kill the last monster in gridland, i got soft by constantly using that "skip from night to day" mechanic

Really liked this, it's very close to old Tony Hawk style gameplay but successfully transplanted into a 2d scrolling indie game. Took a couple of hours to click but great fun once it did.
- JimD

^my favourite screenshot so far btw.

huh i literally forgot all about infinity wars, that was a fun game

wasn't a finished product in 2014 but was still good enough to earn a vote. from the guys who did fallen london. great writing, melancholic + slow moving ludic elements, dark noirish aesthetic, riding yr zubmarine thru the dark underearth waters.

Nothing else made me so immediately (a) become a shitty person and also (b) immediately feel shitty about it.
- Will M

^ i will have to expand on that later

tbh I'm most excited (or "hype") for jjj's disappointments of the year

trying to figure out when i will sprinkle those in... probably start tomorrow

I played this because it was free on PS+. For an explorer, she sure kills a metric ton of evil fuckers. I wish it was more exploration and less shooting. Can someone make that please? A puzzle/exploration game would be cool.

WARNING: GAME PLAYED ON A CONSOLE UPON WHICH IT DID NOT COME OUT IN 2014
TOMB RAIDER 2014 FALSE FLAG
TEAR THIS WHOLE THING DOWN

i was kinda enjoying Tomb Raider until my girlfriend told me she couldn't handle the constant orgasmic screams and moans from Lara everytime she moved around and she didn't want me to play if she was around. Go figure.

(that's it for today... up to 40ish tomorrow, up to 20ish Thursday, up to numero uno on Friday!)

xp lol i didn't notice that too much when i played, but i am single

Oh no. The world is ending. Since I couldn't vote for only two games my ballot is totally padded out with random crap that came out on PS+

nobody cares unless it's marvel puzzle quest tbph

Really want to play This War of Mine.

^^ me too, it looks great, but also looks like it'll be in a humble bundle sometime in 2015

kind of surprised it only got the one vote, though tbf its not like i've bothered yet-- i feel like i've seen it on steam sale at least once already tho

would totally have voted for helix and nidhogg, oh dear

Ballot box sorely lacked thompness and lampness and ifness :(

Coint and plick is poorer for it

ifness?

if was always a good voice on this poll

as ever i've played like five new games and only one of them an AAAAAAAAAAAA title; my ballot would probably have just been five nights at freddys in every slot but with a different number of points to represent every thought i have had about it

nidhogg is a fantastic little thing tho! its like -- well, bushido blade is probably GOAT fighting game for me. nidhogg is like a demake of that, but also it's a sort of itchy and scratchy version of that. getting hit by a sword is always fatal. you reincarnate in seconds. it has sword position and parry and disarm and things, and it is on the brilliant knife edge between always thinking, "shit, i am in the zone here and my keyboard skills translate to making my little dude a brilliant sword fighter" and "we are basically playing slapsies here"
