Massively's Best Of 2022 Awards: Greatest Pseudo-MMO Of The 12 Months Massively's end-of-the-year awards proceed at the moment with our award for the most effective Pseudo-MMO of the 12 months. That is at all times a difficult class because it forces us to outline MMOs. This 12 months, we opted to make eligible any online game that is not a pure and traditional MMORPG, video games we would cover in Not So Massively: cellular MMOs, console MMOs, OARPGs, MOBAs, MMOFPS titles, MMORTS titles, and so on. And of course, the sport will need to have launched in 2014. All of our writers had been invited to forged a vote, but not all of them chose to do so for this category. Don't forget to cast your personal vote within the simply-for-fun reader poll on the very end.  The Massively workers pick for Finest 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 superb, and it's spectacular what they've managed to realize on a fraction of the budget that Star Citizen has. It remains to be seen if the exploration factor of the sport will reside up to expectations and if the online gameplay is compelling in the long term, but I am nonetheless cautiously optimistic about Elite: Harmful going forward.  @nbrianna/weblog: This year was actually slim-pickings for brand spanking new pseudo-MMO launches; Destiny just sucked the air from the room, and the sub-genres, like MOBAs particularly, are already pretty locked up by current games with out a whole lot of room for newcomers. I might wish to have voted for Marvel Heroes, however this yr's "2015" rebrand didn't reeeeeaaaally make it a model-new sport. I'm not a TCGer, however I will throw in for Hearthstone. It's shiny, it is tight, and it exhibits Blizzard hasn't forgotten the way to generate income by sharpening the basics.  @Eliot_Lefebvre/weblog: Crud, I do not know. Dragon Age: Inquisition has multiplayer; does that rely? I'm voting for it anyway.  @jefreahard: Space Engineers. Minecraft Survival Games Servers do not actually cowl it, I guess, but I wish we did. Sure, it's area Minecraft, and what might probably be higher? A few of the most effective gaming moments of 2014 for me concerned a couple of associates, a personal SE server, and the endless creativity and addictive gameplay that SE continually fosters. Oh and some Firefly-universe roleplay.  @Sypster/blog: Hearthstone. Drawing from each the World of Warcraft and Magic: The Gathering pools of inspiration, Hearthstone rofflestomped its option to domination. It's all of the more amazing that Blizzard did this with a relatively small staff and didn't draw back from using a free-to-play system that allowed gamers to earn in-game gold with out spending cash. Plus -- and this should have gone first -- it's a terrific recreation that's playable cross-platform.  @MikedotFoster/weblog: Darkish Souls II. I know Darkish Souls isn't "online" in the way MMO players think of it, but From Software program found some actually amazing methods to combine different players into what is in any other case a single-participant expertise. 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/blog: For the fun issue on prime 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.  Let's have your vote!%Poll-90265%  Our awards to date...   Massively's Best of 2014 Awards, Day 6: Finest Pseudo-MMO of the Yr - Hearthstone  Massively's Best of 2014 Awards, Day 5: Greatest Disappointment - Tie: WildStar & ArcheAge  Massively's Better of 2014 Awards, Day 4: Finest MMO Studio - Sony On-line Entertainment  Massively's Better of 2014 Awards, Day 3: Most Improved MMO - Remaining Fantasy XIV  Massively's Best of 2014 Awards, Day 2: Biggest Story of the Year - ArcheAge's melodrama  Massively's Best of 2014 Awards, Day 1: Most Underrated MMO - Elite: Dangerous
