Hard to believe we're already 58% of the way into the year. So, here's a little GOTY check-in.

Would have to be Wolfenstein for me. Just a fantastic campaign all around; I remember damn near every second of that game. Really feels like the Riddick follow-up I always wanted.

You?

 

[Exuro]

Haven't finished it yet but Divinity: Original Sin will be hard to beat for me.

 

[PROh1bited]

TLoU

 

[ULTROS!]

DanganRonpa: Trigger Happy Havoc

 

[Silky]

Plants Vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare. The most original multiplayer experience out right now, and its surprisingly one of the most balanced multiplayer shooters available this year.

 

[Zalman]

Probably Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. The game looks amazing in motion, play great, and it has an amazing soundtrack. Can't really ask for much more.

 

[Anth0ny]

Still Donkey Kong.

[Greenzxy]

Flappy birds.
That game is so good it hurts!

 

[Sojgat]

It's a tie between Ground Zeroes and Watch Dogs.

 

[Beboh13]

Titanfall or Mario Kart. I'm half way through Wolfenstein and it seems to be a contender too.

 

[MavFan619]

TLoU all over again. No but seriously (I do love TLoU) Transistor.

 

[Yasawas]

DanganRonpa: Trigger Happy Havoc

Yup. And I'm utterly delighted we get the sequel the same year too, how often does that happen?

 

[t26]

Gyakuten Kenji 2

 

[Lemondish]

I might catch some heat for this...

...but so far it's the TLoU:R.

Fully expect Destiny to replace that once the time comes.

 

[-MD-]

Garden Warfare

South Park is up there, The Evil Within could take it later.

 

[Weiss]

Bravely Default, if only by necessity since it's the only brand new game I've played this year.

 

[Soma]

still kinda leaning towards Transistor

 

[Hours Left]

DanganRonpa: Trigger Happy Havoc

.

 

[Marjar]

Mario Kart 8.

Shovel Knight and South Park: The Stick of Truth are the only games that have come close so far.

 

[Silky]

Garden Warfare

 

[Phediuk]

God damn almost every single post has named a different game so far.

 

[Apt101]

inFAMOUS: Second Son

 

[DJIzana]

Mario Kart 8 so far.

 

[Chuck]

Jazzpunk

 

[Spartix]

Wolfenstein

 

[TEJ]

tropical freeze by far. so good, so good.

 

[TopGun]

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes. That and DKC: Tropical Freeze, damn good game.

 

[Hawaii Jeff]

Tomb RaiderE.

 

[Sid]

Dark Souls 2 but there were quite a few nice games this year like Shovel Knight,Watch_Dogs,TLoU:R,South Park and MGS:GZ.

 

[lazybones18]

FFXIV: A Realm Reborn

 

[CDX]

Shovel Knight

 

[Solid Samus]

mine is definitely Dankey Stank County Tropical Freeze but Wolfenstein is a close second. And I suppose inFamous is at third.

 

[Stratosphere]

Even thought its inferior to it's predecessor, I'd have to say:
Dark Souls II

Honorable mentions go to:
Transistor
MGSV: GZ

With all the good things I hear about Wolfenstein, I think I'll have to pick up it up at some point. I only wish that I hadn't watched my brother play the ending, as my first play through will be somewhat tarnished....

 

[Catalix]

Ground Zeroes, by default.

 

[nbnt]

Transistor. Spintires is up there too.

But yeah, boring year is boring.

 

[Altima]

Destiny beta is better than any game I have played this year

and Transistor.

 

[Zakalwe]

Divinity: Original Sin
Transistor

I have a feeling Destiny will be in the running, too.

 

[dc89]

Transistor for me.

 

[Ambition]

Transistor

 

[Goldmund]

The Fall.

 

[Hatchtag]

Uh...South Park: SOT, I guess. It's only between that and Titanfall, really. I haven't bought many new games this year.

 

[Demetrius]

inFAMOUS: Second Son

 

[Phil S.]

My favorite is Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze.

 

[corrosivefrost]

Dark Souls 2

Honorable mentions:
Killer is Dead
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

 

[Vidpixel]

For me, The Last of Us: Remastered.

 

[Mesharey]

FFXIV: A Realm Reborn

Same here.

 

[ShineALight]

DKC:TF, followed by Divinity.

 

[EmpReb]

still kinda leaning towards Transistor

This. Have not finished it for my own weird gamer reasons. (need to be the mood to one shot the game) but what I played is freaking outstanding. Best intergration of story INTO gameplay i have seen in years besides Bastion.

Sorry but a game like Transitor is why I HATE CINEMATIC GAMES and love true games. They waste so much on being like movies when really you have proof the medium does better when the game IS ALWAYS a game and uses it OWN unique tools to do story telling. Not stupid silly freaking cinematic cutscencs that are totally crying. "I WANT TO BE HOLLYWOOD!"

Transitor is the ideal we need for story telling but don't get and for that its my GOTY.
