Please Stop Pre-Ordering Games
2014 was total dog chod. I’ve been alive since 1988, I’ve been gaming since about 1992 and I’ve never experienced a worse year for games than the one we just had. Admittedly, it may have started off quite strongly with the release of indie gems such as the ridiculous ‘Jazzpunk’ and the time-gobbling card-battler that is ‘Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft.’ But in the great lands of AAA, no hero was born. Sure, there were some decent offerings. ‘Titanfall’ was good sport for a while and ‘Smash Bros Wii-U’ may have rescued Nintendo’s pride at the 11th hour, whilst Telltale Games continued on with their various adventure seasons. But they were mere consolations in a very boring year for gamers and I think I may know why.
