I watched my sister play destiny for like ten minutes and was so utterly underwhelmed by it I didn't touch it. I don't understand, where did the money go?

Best would probably be Dragon Age: Inquisition, predictable maybe, but it deserves it.

Kind of understand what you mean here Pilau Rice!

On the one hand, the game is easier, more accessible, less awkward. Graphics are lovely, there is a lot of imagination and its really polished. But, in becoming more sanitised (not necessarily easier, although I think the basic game is) it has perhaps lost something that made Demon Souls and Dark Souls what they were.

The money went on marketing.

So, I just realized that the Banner Saga was released in 2014. Not a perfect game, by far, but it had so many parts that were wonderful... So that's a top one for me.

It's from a rage inducing perspective. One minute I love the game the next I want to shove the controller through the screen and obliterate the xbox

I don't think it's that different from Demon Souls to be honest and I think I had less trouble with that than I have with Dark Souls 2, but I think that's down to my own mistakes. It's more expansive and easier to lose where you're going and there are more bosses. I think what I have done wrong with Dark Souls 2 is watch someone do a play through and I have picked up their bad habits rather than learn to use parry and stuff. In Demon Souls I had that down pretty well. I also joined the Covenant of Champions when I got to Majula and didn't know what it did until about 100 deaths at the hands of the Belfry Gargoyles When I left it I had killed them on my third try. Needless to say my deaths on this play through are around the 300 mark. When I get through it I will play it again and hopefully get that number right down, then on to NG+.

Edit:wrong thread
