2014 could be the 2nd crappiest year in gaming

I think it will be a bad year but that's mainly due to the adaptation to new consoles. It's always the same when a new generation comes out. There's a wave of underwhelming launch titles, a stream of the same old IP's bringing out games before the bulk of the good stiff starts coming out. Chin up, take a little time to make a little better, namsayin?

Okay guys I get it, I shouldn't let a couple of bad games dictate the outcome of this year. I just also have this bad feeling for some unknown reason that we're gonna get a aliens:colonial marines or two this year I don't know why. Maybe I should be more optimistic.

Well, if you are like me we are just coming off 2013. For me, 2013 was one of the 'worst' years for a long time. TLoU and Tomb Raider came out in first quarter and I was done for the year. I got 2 games last year. However, I saw it as a good thing because 2010-2012 released so many games I still have yet to make it through it gave me 2013 to catch up... which I squandered for the most part. Now this year I am already staring down South Park, AoW3, Gal Civ 3, Kingdom Under Fire 3, and probably more I am forgetting. Every time I look at my "games to get this year" checklist I am like ".... dammit". My backlog is quickly becoming a pipe dream. I actually need like 2 more "dead years" just to get through it. But with a new generation having just hit and publishers trying to pump out games for the new tech I doubt I am gonna catch that break for another 4 years at least as my PC can handle next gen.

Incidentally, id this could be the 2nd crappiest, what was the crappiest?

Probably the year that E.T. made the entire gaming industry crash like a drunk teenager off a cliff.

Yes, the crappiest was 1983.

Does a year still have more that 2 months? Just correct me if I am wrong?

I wonder...
