"When I think back on the games that have been released so far this year, I get a bit sleepy.
Frankly, I think this year may be the most disappointing year of video games in recent memory. Usually there's at least one game that hooks me for months, which I obsess over and am just in awe of. In 2014, I can't think of a single game that I'd give a 10/10 and play forevermore.

Creativity works better in the indie space because the budgets, pressures, and expectations aren't the same.
it's a nice idea and it worked during the PS2/PS3-era when AAA didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars. smaller budgets and shorter development time left room for more creativity and more risk. a game didn't need to sell 4 million+ copies to break even. things are different now.
This is the guy who bragged about crunching his staff and having them work through the night. Crunch culture has lost more talent and done more damage to the industry than any other factor. Screw him.
Well I'm sorry you feel that way but I don't and not everyone else does so you title should be different. You do not speak for every gamer.
How about "2014 has been the worst year for me" or something in that regard?
Well for us horror fans i think this was the best year in a long time .
Outlast , P.T , The Evil Within , Alien Isolation , five nights at freddy . And more that i forgot but i loved it .
BREAKING NEWS! A gamer is unsatisfied.
Maybe the only somewhat stale moment was between februari-juli, where there were only a handful of games to play. But these months (especially next month) there will be more than enough to choose from:)
2014 the year of delays
