Mass Effect 3 was 2012.
"Gaming media and their absurd deification of BioShock Infinite and TLoU" needs to be added, dog
me3 came out in 2012
The BioShock Infinite/TLoU hate warms whatever is where my heart should be
#2 those bit-coin fuckers driving GPU prices up just as they were getting sweet again/20nm no show.
Bitcoin mining needz gpus, more nubs buying gpus en masse means...

Wouldn't they make more money actually getting a job?

Have you asked your myspace friends about it, grandpa?
I loved The Last of Us, but good lord people, it's not a life-changing experience. If that changes your life, your life sucks.Look at this chump thinking you can just pet giraffes whenever.
If I was to pick one worst of 2013 for me it was critics rushing to praise any and every indie game as the best thing since sliced bread and see who can out hip each other. It continues to amaze me how people stop suddenly being critical of games when they are playing the 7th roguelike of the month or art pieces like The Stanley Parable (which is a fine enough thing for what it is but c'mon) suddenly are considered the best games of the year.
Stanley Parable was amazing.

Some of the lamest shit of the year (I guess this falls under NeoGAF) was that hilarious backlash and back and forth on message boards and feminist bloggers getting furious about people questioning the way games portray women; Dragons Crown, Bravely Default, Dota 2, etc etc etc. Just ::) . Censorship debates, 'ephebophiles' furious about their waifus being censored, just a fucking mess.
More important is her own attempts at making quick money through telemarketing and her link to Jonathan Mcintosh (her boyfriend), who Anongamer implies may be the one really pulling the strings on the Tropes Vs Women videos for his own personal gain.

Real talk, though: I only play awesome games and I don't read any "game journalism", so I don't have anything to vote on.

Same.

I loved Bioshock Infinite, and I really liked The Last Of Us. Well, I did when I played them. Now I can't help but hate them due how distinguished mentally-challenged the gaming fanbase has become when either of them are mentioned. While BI was the most annoying one when it first came out, Last Of Us is the most annoying one by far now. It peaked with Joel Banderas, the fucking glee that showed up with that reveal where no new game was announced boggled me. It's a videogame you've already played, not a new game reveal. And it was showed off parodying an overused meme which you'd think would have these nerdlingers crying about how it doesn't fit the "emotion" of the game. This sort of shit makes me not want to touch either game ever again, despite enjoying them.
hating something you like because other people liked them is very hip of you
Nah it's stupid, I'm one of those guys who would like for the hype to die down to go back to it again.
Basically, I'm a taco.

I see Rumbler playing Godus on steam so I think he is trying to get an early jump on worst of 2014.

2D Pixel games when really it should be indie games in general. Journalists and indie fans hype them up as the second coming when they're all mostly clones.
Rogue Legacy was just shit
indie games continue to get better but i hate the way theyre posed as "saviors" instead of just good games or whatever
Indie games are fine. They are good things. There have always been indie games. The great games of the past that I grew up on were almost all "indie" games in a sense of very small groups of people making labours of love. What I object to is the over-worship. The lack of critical review of them. And the indulgent culture that some of the worst of the designers and the worst of the critics have created. Indie games are still "games". They are not above games the way some people present them. Same as any other with the same flaws, the same weaknesses, etc. What I've noticed is that if you criticize some big Triple A titles you get lots of pats on the back as if you are sticking it to the man. If you criticize the latest indie sensation, you'll get the pitchforks instead. All people have done is replace one over-idealized group of games with another. There should be just as much disagreement about what constitutes a great AAA game as an indie game but I'm not currently seeing it.
I just think everybody needs to back it up about 10 steps with the indie fever that seems to be prevalent. It reminds me of how when Nirvana hit everybody became an insufferable alternative music snob for about 5 or 6 years. Which is not to say there is/was anything wrong with Alternative music or indie games in and of themselves. It was how people over-did the whole thing. Let's just calm it down a tad.
if your problem is indie game fans, then just play the games and ignore the fans. I don't like Nintendo fans and I like their portable hardware and software. The two aren't the same things.
so since we're all shitting on games journalism (deservedly so), does anyone got any GOOD sites/blogs/tumblrs/whatever that they can recommend? I miss reading over-indulgent game musings and would like that back in my life

so basically the worst thing about last year was people liking things i don't like
YouTube vids have made game journalism irrelevant. Who cares when I can watch the first hour or two of a game and see if I want it?
