Coint and Plick 2014 - Game Nomination Thread

No guarantee that I'm gonna do this, but start adding your games for consideration here now.

As always, we're looking for games released in 2013; please note the game AND the system it was released on like so:

Marvel Puzzle Quest - iOS, PC/Mac
Arkham Origins - PC/PS3/360

Console, PC/Mac, online only games, art games, MMORPGs, video game versions of card and party games, social network games and cellphone games are all entirely valid choices as long as they were versions released and/or maintained with updated material in '13. I will also accept any game that has been re-released this year in a new format/console, any game that is in a continuous state of change (basically MMORPGs) or downloadable content for a game made prior to 2013. That means World of Warcraft and any classic NES games released as Wiiware or iOS remakes are legit picks. Here's the catch though: I do ask that you keep in the spirit of the thing and only vote for reissues/new content/ongoing games if you played them THIS YEAR and (when applicable) only on the new system in question.

Things that shouldn't even be considered: board games, competitive card games, puzzles, tabletop rpgs, online fantasy sports, etc. Good rule of thumb is that if it can only be played on a screen, it's valid.

If you're listing an obscure import-only title, flash game, social network, art jam product, indie or lesser known game, please include a URL for the game's fan/homepage and (if possible) a screenshot or two for the listing so I can figure out what you're raving about and note appropriately.

btw, y'all should be begging ZS to do banner gifs for winners again.
for reference:
Coint and Plick 2013 - The Sixth Annual ILX Video Game Poll

Candy Box - web

I played jack shit for games this year.

Assassin's Creed 4: The Voyage Home (every platform possible)
FIFA 14 (every platform possible)
Football Chairman (iOS)

ugh, no gifs this year. they take sooooo looooooong to do, even though each one individually only takes 20 minutes or so (which is why so many of them were crappy last year!). add it up, and it's 10-15+ hours of work. there was a point last year when i had about 20 more to do, and i found myself pressing my forehead into a wall in the middle of the night with an almost empty bottle of whiskey held upside down on accident. i can't do it again!

lol at frog fractions winning #3 last year!

Frog Fractions was robbed. Should've been a clear winner.

So, hey, does Johann Sebastian Joust count? It's made for motion controllers and needs to be hooked up to a computer to work, but is a physical game. Played it for ages at ATP this summer and it was much fun.

Also, Emily Short's Counterfeit Monkey was released on something like the 30th/31st December 2012, that's got to count as a 2013 game, right? I mentioned this during last year's voting, pretty sure people were okay with it.

nominations

Cookie Clicker (web)
Candy Box 2 (web)
Nimble Quest (iOS)
Dungeon Plunder (iOS)
Scallywags (iOS)
Fiz (iOS)
Pocket Trains (iOS)
Tiny Death Star (iOS)

will have more later...

I planned to make a dent on my backlog this year so I tried to stick to a no-new-releases policy. Failed, but not by too big a margin, I've definitely kept this year's list very short. I've played

GTAV (360)
Star Trek (360)
Bioshock Infinite (360)
Lego City Undercover (Wii U)
Lego Marvel Superheroes (360)
The Stanley Parable (PC)
Animal Crossing New Leaf (3DS)
Hotline Miami (Vita)
Plants versus Zombies 2 (iOS)
Rymdkapsel (iOS)

...and I think that might be everything actually. Oh, some other ios bits and bobs too but probably nothing worthy of mention, it's been a bad year for ios imo.

Oh sorry I've listed the platform I played on rather than all the platforms each title released on but the gaps are easy enough to fill in I think.

Oh how could I forget

Euro Truck Simulator 2! (PC)

And

Surgeon Simulator 2013 (PC)

DOTA 2 - PC/Mac

Papers, Please (PC)
Gone Home (PC)
State of Decay (360/PC)
The Swapper (PC)
Rogue Legacy (PC)
Gunpoint (PC)
Monaco (PC/360?)
Antichamber (PC)
Shadowrun Returns (PC)
Payday 2 (PC)
Ni No Kuni (PS3)
Thomas Was Alone (many)

Hearthstone (PC/Mac)
Spaceteam (iOS/Android)
Battle of Bulge (iOS)
868-Hack (iOS)
Don't Starve (PC/Mac)
Expedition Conquistador (PC/Mac)
People (Browser)
Pocket Mine (iOS)
Saints Row 4 (360)
Temple Run 2 (iOS/Android)
Hotline Miami (Mac)

oh dang, forgot 868-HACK was this year. definitely going on my list. i might finally have the chance to play spaceteam before the end of the year too!

Killer Instinct - Xbone
A Dark Room - browser http://adarkroom.doublespeakgames.com

can i start my campaign here for gone home as most overrated non-game of the year?

god, 868-HACK was just 3 months ago. why does it feel like so long ago? anyway, i will add:

Ridiculous Fishing (iOS)
Agricola (iOS)

Card Hunter (Browser)

I forgot that Hotline Miami didn't come to the Mac until March! Man, I love that game. I already voted for it last year though, but it actually came out for more platforms this year than in 2012 (PS3, Vita, Linux, Mac OS X) and will likely get a PS4 release, assuming they don't just skip to the sequel.

Injustice: Gods Among Us (PC/PS3/PS4/Wii U/Xbox 360)

Will have some more later tonight...

(Whoa, somebody in here owns an Xbone!)

Fire Emblem Awakening - 3DS
Monster Hunter 3 U - Wii U
Shin Megami Tensei IV - 3DS

Nah I just like watching videos of KI

The Last of Us (PS3)
because it's not there yet

forks, email me if you want some support, we'll discuss how you typically put it together and i'll see where i can save you the most time

and if you really would rather pass on the responsibility this year i can take it on... i did the ps2 one (and once i actually did it my timing was ok, just took me a long-ass time b/c we only had like 10 voters in the first rd)

Boson X (iOS, Mac, PC)
Doctor Who: Legacy (iOS)
Tower of Fortune 2 (iOS)
Mikey Hooks (iOS)
Fist of Awesome (iOS, Android)
King Cashing 2 (iOS)
Paint it Back (iOS)
Pokemon X/Y (3ds)

I'm just going to assume that the picks I asked about are okay, and you can rule them out later if not. I'm also not sure what the system is for my text adventure picks, Inform is the language so I think Glulx is more accurate as the platform? I dunno!

So:

Rayman Legends
Super Mario 3D World

i played these games, they were all pretty ok:

The Cave (Xbox 360/idk)
Dishonored: The Knife of Dunwall (Xbox 360/idk)
Tomb Raider (Xbox 360/idk)
Metro: Last Light (Xbox 360/idk)
Dishonored: The Brigmore Witches (Xbox 360/idk)
Batman: Arkham Origins (Xbox 360/idk)

also watched a friend of mine play:

Kentucky Route Zero (PC/Mac)

and watched youtube videos of:

The Stanley Parable (PC/Mac)

emil.y, your noms are always the best because they're from a completely different gaming world than the one I inhabit & that makes your lists fascinating to me

agreed

could not agree more

Haha, thanks guys. I sometimes daydream about getting more into 'proper' gaming, but I just don't have the time or money for it, never mind the skill. Text adventures will always have my heart, anyway.

Sly Cooper: Thieves of Time (ps3)
Deadly Premonition: Directors Cut (ps3)
Poker Night 2 (ps3)
Ride to Hell: Retribution (ps3)
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West (ps3) (is this actually when this was released for ps3? Seems wrong)

I think it came out originally, but you can skate by because the "Director's Cut" edition came out this year.

Super House of Dead Ninjas (PC)
A Valley Without Wind 2 (Mac/PC)
Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix (PS3)
Puzzle & Dragons (iOS/Android) (ongoing)
The Wonderful 101 (Wii U)

Need to actually play some of these...

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds (3DS)
Monster Hunter 3U (3DS/WiiU)
Etrian Odyssey 4 (3DS)
Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers(3DS)
Bravely Default (3DS)
Attack Of The Friday Monsters! A Tokyo Tale (3DS)
Pikmin 3 (WiiU)
Pom Gets Wi-Fi (PC)

I kept wondering how you guys played Bravely Default but then I checked, oh yeah, Europe release earlier

Ace Patrol: Pacific Skies (iOS)
Drive on Moscow (iOS)

valid choices as long as they were versions released and/or maintained with updated material in '13.
this descrip allows mobas to be renominated every year so i'll put up:

League of Legends (PC)

I think that's a fair rule, since these games are always constantly getting updated - this applies to Team Fortress 2, all MMOs and MOBAs and so on - kinda how it's going to be for a large subset of large-scale F2P games now.

did anybody see the League of Legends piece on HBO real sports? They threw out the stat that "1 in 20 people play LoL" which sounds utterly false.

think its pretty ridiculously popular in asian countries. 2014 is going to see a lot of bad moba clones.

didn't see this thread yesterday but i am also happy to help if polyphonic wants to split work

Borderlands 2: Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep DLC (ps3)

How about January 31st as the last day for voting? Or do you want more time?

that sounds fair

Tearaway (Vita)
Device 6 (iOS)

Hate to be that guy, but Football Manager 2014. Oh, and Far Cry 3 - Blood Dragon

Never apologize!

How about January 31st as the last day for voting? Or do you want more time?

― polyphonic, Tuesday, January 14, 2014 12:23 AM Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

did you mean last day for voting or last day for _nominating_?

think he meant last day for voting:

How much longer do you guys want to nominate stuff? I can start collecting votes whenever y'all are ready.

which is fine with me!

stuff i still haven't played but are on my list:

Kentucky Route Zero (PC/Mac)
Metro: Last Light (Xbox 360/idk)
Shadowrun Returns (PC)
The Cave (Xbox 360/idk)
Desktop Dungeons (PC/Mac)

Rain (PS3)

i might play this before the 31st so i am nomming it. and now i have to play like 12 games

Was tempted to nom more IF as there are a couple more worth playing, but I'm going to be the only vote for them and the two I've got are definitely the best from this year - will just stick with those.

DmC: Devil May Cry (ps3)
Dead Space 3 (ps3 etc)
Crysis 3 (ps3 etc)
Lost Planet 3 (everything)
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (ps3xbox)
God of War: Ascension (ps3)
Rocksmith 2014 (ps3/360/win)
Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus (ps3)
Gears of War: Judgement (360)
Dead Island: Riptide (ps3/360/everything probably)
Grid 2 (ps3/360)
The Bureau: XCOM declassified (ps3/360)
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist (ps3/360/win/lolwiiu)
Need for Speed: Rivals (ps3/360/win)
Gran Turismo 6 (ps3)

the fact that none of these ^ have even been nommed says something interesting abt the falloff of franchise titles imo but they should prob be there

Bit.Trip Presents Runner 2 (psn/xbla)
BattleBlock Theater (xbla)
Remember Me (ps3/360/win/nintendo 64)
Brothers: a tale of two sons (xbla/psn prob?)
Killer is Dead (ps3/360) (mainly nomming this in the hopes that someone has played it and can tell me how much suda crazy to expect)
Beyond: Two Souls (ps3/a theater near you)
Doki Doki Universe (all the Pswhatevers)

I'm guessing that with that list there wont be a bunch of "how is X not even nominated ?!??!?" moments for much of anybody, so we are prob pretty close to voting time.

Doki Doki Universe

I hope this is something to do with Babymetal.

Okay, here's my final list before putting together the voting thread. Last chance to get stuff on the list before the thread goes up. I tried to do all the platform sourcing now so I don't have to do it later, but let me know if I missed anything.

You can't play Ollie Ollie Oxen Free in browser, and the author of Counterfeit Monkey has specifically said she doesn't recommend the browser version for that. You need a Glulx interpreter to play them, like Gargoyle or similar. I mean, I'm sure it doesn't matter much, but just for the sake of accuracy. And if any non-IF fans want to try them out, Gargoyle is free and doesn't take up much room on yr computer.

Okay, I'll use IF as the tag for the interactive fiction games instead of "browser" or "pc"

Seems fair.

Also: I removed Johann Sebastian Joust because it is being officially released in 2014. As well as a couple other games that aren't out of closed beta.

Icarus Proudbottom Teaches Typing isn't on the nom list, and that's free to play

Ah, I hadn't noticed the JSJ omission, but fair enough.

Bubsy 3D?

Icarus Proudbottom definitely deserves a nom, how could I forget.

how could i forget bubsy!

or busby even

May I nominate Real Racing 3 for iPhone/Android? It's my GOTY.

VOTE
SUBMIT YOUR BALLOT: The Seventh Annual Coint and Plick Poll is NOW OPEN - Vote for ILX’s Best Video Games of 2013 - VOTES DUE FRIDAY JANUARY 31st

I just started playing Icarus Proudbottom and have already laughed out loud twice. So far so good.

A Dark Room is really cool. The longer you play, the more full-featured the RPG elements are. For those of us who grew up playing MUDs.

dota 2 is free to play too~

So are many of the ios/android games

I wonder how many cookies I'm going to have in Cookie Clicker when I get home tonight.

Don't forget to vote

never enough time to play!

Well, at least I got around to Papers Please. Don't think I'm gonna get to The Last of Us, Bioshock Infinite, or Tomb Raider by Friday though. I guess this was kind of a decent year?

oh lol I totally forgot to vote

Got extended a week, so you have until Friday

I'd vote if I played more than two games.

can I still vote for Borderlands 2 even though it's a 2012 game

Yeah, I'd vote for that.

Vote anyway, EZ! Crazy vote stacking is part of the charm of P&C. (I think they get max 20 pts by the rules, anyway)
I think Borderlands 2 is technically OK if you vote for the DLC that came out this year

maybe we should have a best game i played this year regardless of year. please change the poll, should take 5 minutes.

I'm not going to change it, and also you can only vote for Borderlands 2 DLC

I've only played 3 games off the noms list & I have little to say about them so I'm gonna sit this one out.

vote or die!

RIP

I had an uninteresting and uninvolved year with gaming. Played only a handful of things, and all but one was old. Sorry, but I'm passing on it this year. Nothing to say beyond Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons was pish.

I was surprised that I actually played more than 10 new things, but I done it.
