Massively's finish-of-the-year awards proceed at present with our award for the most effective Pseudo-MMO of the 12 months. That is all the time a troublesome class since it forces us to outline MMOs. This yr, we opted to make eligible any online recreation that isn't a pure and traditional MMORPG, games we'd cover in Not So Massively: cellular MMOs, console MMOs, OARPGs, MOBAs, MMOFPS titles, MMORTS titles, and so forth. And of course, the sport will need to 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 category. Do not forget to forged your personal vote within the simply-for-enjoyable reader poll at the very end.



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



@nyphur: Elite: Dangerous. Even though there is no offline mode, the graphics and gameplay in Elite: Dangerous do look superb, and it is spectacular what they've managed to achieve on a fraction of the budget that Star Citizen has. It remains to be seen if the exploration issue of the sport will dwell up to expectations and if the online gameplay is compelling in the long term, but I am still cautiously optimistic about Elite: Harmful going ahead.



@nbrianna/blog: This year was truly slim-pickings for brand spanking new pseudo-MMO launches; Destiny simply sucked the air from the room, and the sub-genres, like MOBAs especially, are already fairly locked up by present games without an entire lot of room for newcomers. I might like to have voted for Marvel Heroes, but this 12 months's "2015" rebrand did not reeeeeaaaally make it a brand-new game. I'm not a TCGer, however I will throw in for Hearthstone. It's shiny, it is tight, and it reveals Blizzard hasn't forgotten find out how to make money by sharpening the basics.



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



@jefreahard: Area Engineers. We do not actually cover it, I assume, however I wish we did. Positive, it is space Minecraft, and what could probably be higher? Some of the very best gaming moments of 2014 for me involved a few associates, a private SE server, and the endless creativity and addictive gameplay that SE constantly fosters. Oh and some Firefly-universe roleplay.



@Sypster/weblog: Hearthstone. Drawing from both the World of Warcraft and Magic: The Gathering pools of inspiration, Hearthstone rofflestomped its technique to domination. It is all the more amazing that Blizzard did this with a relatively small crew and didn't draw back 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 best way MMO gamers think of it, but From Software program found some really superb ways to integrate other players into what's in any other case a single-participant experience. SYSTEM32 Invasions, co-op summons, and hilarious/useful/totally misleading notes are what make Darkish Souls feel like a one-of-a-form title.



@MJ_Guthrie/blog: For the enjoyable factor on high 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 are available on, LEGO minifigs! They're just adorable.
