Massively's finish-of-the-yr awards continue in the present day with our award for the very best Pseudo-MMO of the 12 months. This is all the time a troublesome class because it forces us to outline MMOs. This 12 months, we opted to make eligible any on-line recreation that is not a pure and traditional MMORPG, video games we would cover in Not So Massively: cell MMOs, console MMOs, OARPGs, MOBAs, MMOFPS titles, MMORTS titles, and so forth. And naturally, the game should have launched in 2014. All of our writers were invited to cast a vote, but not all of them chose to take action for this class. Do not forget to cast your individual vote within the simply-for-fun reader poll at the very end.



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



@nyphur: Elite: Harmful. Despite the fact that there is no offline mode, the graphics and gameplay in Elite: Harmful do look wonderful, and it is spectacular what they've managed to attain on a fraction of the funds that Star Citizen has. It stays to be seen if the exploration issue of the sport will live up to expectations and if the web gameplay is compelling in the long term, but I am still cautiously optimistic about Elite: Dangerous going forward.



@nbrianna/blog: This yr was truly slim-pickings for new pseudo-MMO launches; Future just sucked the air from the room, and the sub-genres, like MOBAs especially, are already fairly locked up by present video games without an entire lot of room for newcomers. I'd prefer to have voted for Marvel Heroes, however this 12 months's "2015" rebrand did not reeeeeaaaally make it a model-new sport. I'm not a TCGer, however I will throw in for Hearthstone. It's shiny, it's tight, and it reveals Blizzard hasn't forgotten the way to earn money by polishing the basics.



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



@jefreahard: Space Engineers. We do not actually cowl it, I suppose, but I want we did. Adda bank Certain, it's area Minecraft, and what might possibly be better? A few of the best gaming moments of 2014 for me concerned a few pals, a private SE server, and the limitless creativity and addictive gameplay that SE continually fosters. Oh and a few Firefly-universe roleplay.



@Sypster/weblog: Hearthstone. Drawing from each the World of Warcraft and Magic: The Gathering pools of inspiration, Hearthstone rofflestomped its solution to domination. It's all the more wonderful that Blizzard did this with a relatively small workforce and didn't draw back 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 is a terrific recreation that's playable cross-platform. Minecraft Servers



@MikedotFoster/blog: Darkish Souls II. I do know Dark Souls is not "on-line" in the way MMO players consider it, however From Software discovered some actually superb methods to integrate different players into what's in any other case a single-participant experience. Invasions, co-op summons, and hilarious/useful/totally misleading notes are what make Darkish Souls really feel like a one-of-a-kind title.



@MJ_Guthrie/weblog: For the enjoyable 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 is double the fun. And come on, LEGO minifigs! They are simply adorable.
