Believe it or Not, This came out this year. (Unless you were Japanese)

So Why did this get overlooked in EVERYONE's lists?

Was it too lackluster? Was it terrible? Did Bravely Default and The Last of Us's DLC knock it off the face of the internet collective when we think of February Releases?

It's kind of Crazy I didn't really see this game on Major Websites GOTY lists or anything, not even Forums like System Wars seem to cared about this game.

What was it that made This game be so undesired to be pinned with 2014's games?

Legend of Grimrock 2. Even with all the good reviews it didn't make in any of the goty lists of most of the gaming websites.

I remember it being panned, not sure why it would be on websites GotY lists if everyone hated it. At the same time it wasn't as big of a controversy as Halo or Assassin's Creed this year to make any of the FotY lists.

This was mostly about the third game of Final Fantasy XIII, Lightning Returns, but I agree with you. That game is just underrated.

For some reason i just keep believing this game came out last year, or 2 years ago.

And after playing XIII and not finishing it, **** no

Aside from so many people disliking the XIII stuff in general, even the ones who did like it probably had their fill by the time XIII-3 rolled around. Didn't it sell abysmally too?

I think this is to be expected... sure it's crazy that a fucking FF game just gets forgotten so quickly, especially in what many consider to be a poor gaming year. Still hard to believe how far that series has fallen. Understandable that round 3 of a game many disliked didn't make any splashes though.

Lightning returns might be decent but not a lot of people played it because 13 was shite.

it's the worst game in the trilogy and it sold and scored the lowest too (66/100). Even people that liked the first 2 hated this one. In fact, the FFX HD remaster outsold it and that game's only on PS3.

Wasn't this game slated due to the main character not having much going for her and wasn't a loved character, why would it even be mentioned for a game of the year when it was a mediocre game, for me Final Fantasy lost it's way a while back.

It was pretty much universally panned. Not the most beloved entry in the series.

The game was bad. The main character was bad. The director has a fetish for her and has admitted to it. Just about anything that involves her is usually the Kiss of Death. Even Japan is sick and tired of her.

Well Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze didn't get nominated by anyone despite being one of the greatest platformers ever designed so whatever.

P.S. I know it's all opinion, but at the very least DK got horribly overlooked for soundtrack by pretty much everywhere. Just look at the comment sections for both the Video game awards and IGN's best music of 2014 awards. Pretty much every response is that DK got robbed as it clearly had the best soundtrack of 2014. It should have been at least nominated.

Who cares?

The last good FF game was FF IX...almost 15 years ago.

South Park: The Stick of Truth was a total surprise and one of the most entertaining, funny games I've played in some time. Loved the old school, JRPG turned based combat. I'd sure as hell pick South Park over Shadow of Mordor.

Way too many GOTY contenders were RPG's. Forza Horizon 2 deserved more recognition.

People can't get past hate, what's new? I never even finished the game, yet I know it had some quality.

At its peak, I felt the gameplay was better than Dark Souls 2 at its peak. Make of that what you will. Really glad I didn't listen and tried it out for myself. Story is an absolute waste and characters somehow manage to get worse as the series progresses, but as boring as the side-quests were, they were mostly better than some of the boring things done in DA: Inquisition. I tend to hate side-quests in general though.

I also find it weird so many people complain of the time element utilised. It wasn't that hard to overcome and at least gave some sense of urgency. It speaks volumes though of some of the 'reviewers'.

It's sad because it made one-on-one fights utilising turn-based ATB viable, instead of the usual shyte like what we got in FFIX. It would be a massive shame to not get more of it, preferably outside of FF13 or FF in general.

Is Dreamfall: Chapters a legit shout for GOTY? Even with just Book 1 and 6 hours of gameplay, that's one of my top contenders for GOTY.

Great game TC... brought the the battle of attrition back to FF. Adding another resource to juggle... in the form of time. Excellent combat as well... but we all knew that already.

Lol wasn't even aware that there was 3 versions of FF XIII. This game clearly shows FF makers have ran out of all the good ideas, unless they can make an actual shocking comeback at some point.

Also, by the looks of it, the 3rd version of this game looks as if its the video game equivalent of the TV Show called Out of Jimmy's Head.

FFXIII and XIII-2 soured people on the third game which I doubt many people wanted, myself included. Funnily enough though, from what I know of its structure, it's the exact opposite of the much-despised FFXIII, giving you 13 in-game days of free reign over the open world opposed to 13 chapters of walking forward. Unfortunately, it's also very much the opposite of FFXIII in the technical department. Game looked ugly, almost like a cash-in (Again, who wanted this?) from the very first trailer.

You could read a more in-depth retrospective here.
