GOTY 2014
A strange, transitional year for videogames, both personally and the industry as a whole. Games still being developed, companies still deciding what exactly they are trying to sell people. Major releases turned out to be decent, but disappointing. For the most part I played games on my 3ds, PS3, and whatever will still work on my aging PC. AC Black Flag was as good as people said! (but of course, this is not 2014 material). It was also a decent year for 3ds games, not really a fan of smash bros or that would be on there because it's certainly a well made game.
I usually decide my GOTY on a gut feeling after playing the whole game, and there's no doubt in my mind it was Shadowrun: Dragonfall-Directors Cut this year.
I finally did get a PS4 this december, and a few games I've played on it have made it to this list: Transistor (couldn't play it on my PC) and Far Cry 4. I've got a few more on backlog so this list may change.
2014 games I still want to try are here, as usual fairly large list.
