Jump to: navigation, search

Massively's finish-of-the-12 months awards continue right now with our award for the most effective Pseudo-MMO of the yr. This is all the time a difficult category because it forces us to define MMOs. This year, we opted to make eligible any online sport that isn't a pure and traditional MMORPG, games we would cowl in Not So Massively: mobile MMOs, console MMOs, OARPGs, MOBAs, MMOFPS titles, MMORTS titles, and so forth. And of course, the game must have launched in 2014. All of our writers had been invited to cast a vote, but not all of them chose to do so for this category. Remember to cast your own vote in the just-for-enjoyable reader poll at the very finish.



The Massively employees choose for Best Pseudo-MMO of 2014 is...



@nyphur: Elite: Harmful. Though there is not any offline mode, the graphics and gameplay in Elite: Harmful do look superb, and it is spectacular what they've managed to realize on a fraction of the funds that Star Citizen has. It stays to be seen if the exploration factor of the sport will stay up to expectations and if the online gameplay is compelling in the long term, however I'm nonetheless cautiously optimistic about Elite: Harmful going forward.



@nbrianna/weblog: This yr was actually slim-pickings for brand new pseudo-MMO launches; Destiny just sucked the air from the room, and the sub-genres, like MOBAs especially, are already fairly locked up by existing video games without a complete lot of room for newcomers. I would wish to have voted for Marvel Heroes, however this yr's "2015" rebrand did not reeeeeaaaally make it a brand-new recreation. I am not a TCGer, however I will throw in for Hearthstone. It is shiny, it's tight, and it exhibits Blizzard hasn't forgotten find out how to make cash by sharpening the fundamentals.



@Eliot_Lefebvre/blog: Crud, I don't know. Dragon Age: Inquisition has multiplayer; does that rely? I'm voting for it anyway.



@jefreahard: Area Engineers. the swiss rocketman We do not actually cowl it, I assume, however I want we did. Certain, it's area Minecraft, and what might presumably be higher? Some of the best gaming moments of 2014 for me involved a couple of mates, a private SE server, and the endless creativity and addictive gameplay that SE constantly fosters. Oh and some Firefly-universe roleplay.



@Sypster/blog: Hearthstone. Drawing from each the World of Warcraft and Magic: The Gathering pools of inspiration, Hearthstone rofflestomped its option to domination. the swiss rocketman It's all the extra amazing that Blizzard did this with a comparatively small crew and didn't shy away from using a free-to-play system that allowed players to earn in-sport gold with out spending cash. Plus -- and this should have gone first -- it is a terrific game that is playable cross-platform.



@MikedotFoster/weblog: Dark Souls II. I do know Dark Souls isn't "online" in the way in which MMO gamers think of it, but From Software discovered some really wonderful ways to combine different players into what is otherwise a single-participant experience. Invasions, co-op summons, and hilarious/useful/completely misleading notes are what make Darkish Souls really feel like a one-of-a-kind title.



@MJ_Guthrie/weblog: For the fun factor on top of the nostalgia, my vote goes to LEGO Minifigures On-line! You get to construct with LEGOs and destroy things too, so it's double the fun. And are available on, LEGO minifigs! They're just adorable.
