2014: Hex's Year In Review

Good Game's Hex takes a look at her favorite and most memorable games of 2014:

"When I look back on 2014 - it feels like it was a bit of an awkward year for gaming. The excitement and anticipation of new consoles had us ready for a whole new generation - but the reality was a little bit more transitional. The games with the biggest hype didn't necessarily create the biggest impact. The fact is, as much as we all like to start fresh - out with the old and in with the new, practically that's just not possible. As a result, this year was a tricky year to navigate. We felt a little pulled in all directions. We got some games for new consoles, some for old ones. Some that were created for both."

didn't know this show existed, thanks for sharing, subscribed to their podcast.

Yeah its been around for years now. Started off crap than found its way than they fired the original host (junglist) than it went to shit again. But its slowly getting better. Hex is hot but she's a feminist who has a whine as soon as there's any women getting naked in a game. But its ok when its a bloke getting their kit off

poppinslops3829d ago

Her complaints were directed at Bayonetta's gratuitous crotch shots... Did you not see the montage?
Platinum (and others) have sullied an otherwise outstanding game with blatantly juvenile perversions...
Besides, Bajo agreed with her assessment... Is he not a feminist?

Anyway... Good list, Great show.
I'm looking foward to 'Lifeless Planet' on Xbox.

I wasn't referring to bayonetta but to her cracking the shits to any female being potrayed in a sexual manner throughout the years. Which is fine but c'mon suck it up thats life. Women are something to be admired both sexually and morally.

This is a show I watch rather than listen to so Podcast doesn't do it for me. I can't see Hex in a Podcast LOL.

Honestly, just a fantastic game/series (aside from the blunder of Microtransactions/grinding). The system with the orcs was amazing.. which it would be implemented in more games.

IAMRealHooman263d ago

Supposed to be working on a wonder woman game with the nemesis system

CosmicTurtle263d ago

They patented the system, sadly. What that means legally I am not sure. But people don’t want to test the water.

Shadow of Mordor > Shadow of War

Abnor_Mal263d ago

I loved Mordor, while War I stopped playing half way through.

Flewid638263d ago (Edited 263d ago )

I feel you bro. The experience got better once I tried it on PC, but I'm still probably only going to finish the Galadriel DLC and not the main campaign.

ravens52263d ago

Me too lol. I beat Mordor, never beat War lol. I have it though so I could always go back and play it. I genuinely think the time will come that I can beat my backlog. Maybe when I hit the lotto and can just play video games all day, on my yacht.

Luc20263d ago

Such a good game. Also a fairy easy platinum.

Juiceid263d ago

Now THIS is a game I’d like to see a remake of!

glennhkboy263d ago

This game convinced me to buy a new console. There was a huge difference between the previous gen (Xbox360/ PS3) & the latest gen (Xbox One/ PS4) . The Nemesis System was only available in Xbox One/ PS4 . That was how a generation shift should be.

Do the NPCs still randomly levitate every now and then? Even years later I noticed they hadn't patched that out

andy85465d ago (Edited 465d ago )

Honestly I loved the PS4 ACs. I'd love next gen ports of Black Flag, Unity and Syndicate
