Massively's end-of-the-year awards continue in the present day with our award for the very best Pseudo-MMO of the yr. This is at all times a tough class because it forces us to outline MMOs. This year, we opted to make eligible any on-line recreation that is not a pure and traditional MMORPG, video games we might cowl in Not So Massively: cell MMOs, console MMOs, OARPGs, MOBAs, MMOFPS titles, MMORTS titles, and so on. And of course, the sport must have launched in 2014. All of our writers had been invited to solid a vote, however not all of them chose to take action for this class. Do not forget to forged your personal vote in the simply-for-enjoyable reader poll on the very end.



The Massively staff pick for Best Pseudo-MMO of 2014 is...



@nyphur: Elite: Harmful. Though there is not any offline mode, the graphics and gameplay in Elite: Dangerous do look superb, and it's impressive what they've managed to attain on a fraction of the budget that Star Citizen has. It stays to be seen if the exploration issue of the game will dwell as much as expectations and if the online gameplay is compelling in the long run, however I am nonetheless cautiously optimistic about Elite: Harmful going forward.



@nbrianna/blog: This 12 months was really slim-pickings for new pseudo-MMO launches; Future just sucked the air from the room, and the sub-genres, like MOBAs especially, are already pretty locked up by existing video games with out an entire lot of room for newcomers. I would wish to have voted for Marvel Heroes, but this year's "2015" rebrand did not reeeeeaaaally make it a brand-new game. I'm not a TCGer, but I'll throw in for Hearthstone. It's shiny, it is tight, and it reveals Blizzard hasn't forgotten the way to earn money by sprucing the basics.



@Eliot_Lefebvre/weblog: Crud, I do not know. Dragon Age: Inquisition has multiplayer; does that depend? I am voting for it anyway.



@jefreahard: Space Engineers. We do not really cowl it, I suppose, however I wish we did. Positive, it's area Minecraft, and what may presumably be better? Some of the most effective gaming moments of 2014 for me concerned a few pals, a personal SE server, and the infinite creativity and addictive gameplay that SE consistently fosters. Oh and a few Firefly-universe roleplay.



@Sypster/blog: Hearthstone. Drawing from each the World of Warcraft and Magic: The Gathering pools of inspiration, Hearthstone rofflestomped its technique to domination. mcnames It's all of the more wonderful that Blizzard did this with a comparatively small team and didn't shy away from utilizing a free-to-play system that allowed players to earn in-recreation gold without spending cash. Plus -- and this could have gone first -- it's a terrific sport that is playable cross-platform.



@MikedotFoster/weblog: Darkish Souls II. I do know Dark Souls isn't "on-line" in the way MMO gamers think of it, but From Software discovered some actually amazing ways to combine other players into what's in any other case a single-player expertise. Invasions, co-op summons, and hilarious/helpful/totally deceptive notes are what make Dark Souls feel like a one-of-a-kind title.



@MJ_Guthrie/blog: For the fun issue on top of the nostalgia, my vote goes to LEGO Minifigures Online! You get to construct with LEGOs and destroy issues too, so it is double the fun. And come on, LEGO minifigs! They're simply adorable.
