goty 2014 IMO

No. I'm a big fan of the series but this entry lacked direction. The mechanics were amazing but the story and motivation wasn't as good as the previous entries.

[KingOfOldSkool]

Which still didn't prevent it from being one of the best releases of the year so far.

I agree but I wouldn't call it amazing also because it wasn't as challenging and as dreadful as its predecessor.

unfortunately a good but forgetful game, not the experience I was eagerly looking forward to.

@segamon If you play in the covenant of champions from the start it is just as hard, besides Demon/dark souls has always been as hard as you want it to be,

@lonelyplayer I agree its not as gd and does lack direction but that didn't stop it from being goty so far, I can't think of another game I enjoyed as much and can't see any forthcoming release topping it, but hey, i'll be open minded :)

I recently beat Demon Soul's and going to start Dark Souls soon so i have to wait for it come out on PS4 :D

I would give that title for 'Divinity: Original Sin' so far.

Many very promising looking games still coming like 'Elite: Dangerous' so it's a bit too early to choose GOTY ;)

Dark Souls -series is not bad in any means but personally I think that Hack 'n' Slash gets boring very fast.

[Kenshin_BATT0USAI]

I don't think you know what Hack 'n' slash is...

[Potnoodle999]

nope
If you think its just a hack 'n' slash your playing it wrong, Its one of the most in depth, immersive and rewarding game series I've ever played.
and that's before i even get started on how much of a great rpg it is :)
But the goty argument is still your opinion that I respect. I just can't stand it when people degrade it to hack 'n' slash status, and that's coming from someone who is a huge god of war fan among many other awesome hack 'n' slashers.

ohhh man I totally forgot the DLC was coming out this week. So excited

[ifrit_caress]

Oh my gosh, did the game really have that many bugs? Don't these guys test the game before they release it. I can see this generation games are going to be as buggy as the last.

[Kenshin_BATT0USAI]

...? Not bugs, balancing.

And what a wonderful patch it was. No more Havelmonsters! Also more soul memory tiers! Buuuuut.... For some reason the monastery scimitar's super parries are back :(
