Way
to drop the ball, 2014. That was… Man, that was rough.
I'll admit that I enjoyed Assassin's Creed Unity more than the average player, though that had a lot to do with the fact that my copy was one of the few that wasn't infested with glitches and bugs. Far Cry 4 isn't bad, but really it's more of the same. I loved Destiny for like, seven minutes before realizing the amount of grinding and backtracking the game expected from me. Watchdogs? Didn't even even bother with it.
By
the time LittleBigPlanet 3 released in November, I just didn’t have it in me to
expect anything more than mediocrity. Nonetheless I made the trek up to
GameStop on release day to pick up my preordered copy, if only because it came
with a Sackboy plushy, and you best believe I wanted my damn plushy. When it
came to the actual game, though, my expectations were so low that I didn’t even
bother to pop the disc into the console until last week.
Who
would’ve thought that I’d be here, halfway through February 2015, making a case
for LittleBigPlanet 3 as my game of the year for 2014? Granted, my tempered
expectations certainly helped, but make no mistake, this game is really really
fun.
