Every game this year has been a complete disappointment. Of all the years I have been gaming, this honestly has got to be the year with the least amount of worthwhile games. Titanfall and Destiny were both overhyped games that turned out to be only decent at best, and besides those two, there has not been any noteworthy games that have released this year. I suppose the only 4 games left this year that have sparked some sort of an interest in me are The Evil Within, Alien: Isolation, Dragon Age: Inquisition, and The Binding Of Issac: Rebirth.
And even now I feel like about half of those games will turn out to be ♥♥♥♥ too. wtf 2014.

To answer the question in the headline:

YES. ABSOLUTELY. The worst year in gaming in the past 10 years, at the least. I've been saying that for months and months.

I would say The Evil Within, Alien: Isolation, and Farcry 4 are quite good.

Most games are being held off till 2016... due to next gen pcs coming out. It's gonna be crazy then, with Skylake motherboards, DDR4, NVLink, and Nvidia Pascal graphic cards, Win 10, DirectX 12, etc. You ain't seen nothing yet.

I think the only people who are upset with game choices from 2014 are those people who will only swim in the AAA market

I tend to agree with the OP. Not a bad year, but subpar.

Evil Within at least fixed their bad console port fps lock down, etc. You can get 60FPS (as a new menu option) smoothly, with almost no borders now. Unlike some others... I originally was going to boycott it like AC: Unity, but been improved and risked it - not as bad as it was, pretty fun and good looking actually.

god no, it's been one of the best in years

elite dangerous
age of wonders 3
endless legend
nuclear throne
binding of isaac rebirth
divinity: OS
shadow of mordor

lots of good games. maybe its been a bad year for console style games though (excepting SOM). but for stuff thats different to the mainstream it's been great.

I'd have to agree for the most part. Had some fun with a few smaller and/or kickstarter games, but none of the big games of the year have captured my interest.

Exactly, mainstream games have not been that impactful this year it seems, judging by both the media's and the mainstream gamer's reactions:

* Dark Souls 2 - people complained it was not that good compared to the first game
* Wolfenstein TNO - cool game but doesn't do anything new
* Shadow of Mordor - offers something new with its Nemesis system
* Call of Duty - not significantly different from the previous games but better storyline perhaps
* Assassin's Creed Unity - returned to tradition but had problems with bugs and glitches
* Far Cry 4 - cool but very similar to Far Cry 3 despite a few new things
* Dragon Age Inquistion - great but doesn't do anything new
* Titanfall - feels short-lived, were the maps too small ? the gameplay uninteresting ?
* Destiny - repetitive gameplay and a storyline that was not that engaging it seems

So the only ones that offered something new was Mordor and Far Cry 4.
And Far Cry 4 is what 'Borderlands the Pre-Seque'l is to the other Borderlands games, mostly more of the same really. I'm not complaining though.

That leaves Mordor as 'the' mainstream game that offers most innovation.

However outside of the mainstream games there were plenty of good games to get.
As a racing gamer I got MXGP, MotoGP 14, Grid AutoSport, F1 2014 and Forza Horizon 2.
As a strategy gamer I got Banner Saga, Xenonauts, Stronghold 2, etc.
As an adventure gamer I got Tex Murphy, Soul Suspect, Jazzpunk etc.
and so on.

cod and ac have been ♥♥♥♥ for years though, so no different to last year or year before in that regards. FC3 & FC4 are both meh too imo, earlier farcry 1 & 2 were better
