NeoGAF Games of the Year 2015 Awards

Wow being an Xbox exclusive is like poison on this forum lol. Thanks for putting all this together, and I do wish I had gotten a chance to play Mario Maker and Bloodbourne.

I want to thank my Souls GAF brothers for putting a JRPG like Bloodborne as #1 because fuckTheWitcher, SonyShillGAFmods for rigging the votes, and last but not least all the people creating alt accounts months in advance just for praising and helping Bloodborne to claim its rightful title. we shall not falter, we shall not be robbed.

next on the list, Dark Souls 3 2016 goty

Can we keep the persecution complex and 'SonyGAF' posts to a minimum? Christ.

That biggest blue blob there, is Nintendo.
And you are basically saying that Sony's output caters to enthusiast gamers. Seeing as that's us, how is that's a bad thing? Would you have expected any board of enthusiast gamers to vote differently?

We're not celebrating 'mainstream-appeal-of-the-year awards' here.

Whoa touched a nerve apparently, settle down. It's ironic considering that was exactly the point behind the post.

Games like Bloodborne cater to an enthusiast audience, Microsoft has a pretty solid lineup of exclusives for mainstream gamers. The latter isn't going to reflect well on an enthusiast forum.

Is this for real.

In any case there is a lot of good games on this list.
 
Thanks for the nice response.
Well what do you expect honestly. There are gamers on here some love Xbox,some love ps,pc,Nintendo whatever. I haven't been here long but ive read old threads that dont scream sony gaf to me(almost everyone was screaming xbox would sweep). It gets old just because certain games that are big and good appear in ps4 more. Get over it. Theres no conspiracy if an xbox one exclusive comes out swinging hard next year im sure it will win.
 
Just went through the full data and if I understand it correctly my ballot got wiped and I don't understand why ;_;

It still counts my honorable mentions in the results though

(and I don't know what Fat City is :p )

1-2 pics per game and not only 2015 titles, but that allows me to give a little shout-out to ineligible games :D

This got picked up as a vote for a game at rank 1.

I am literally the only one to vote for Horizon Chase as more than an honorable mention.

Yet it still got 8th best racing game.

Wow...

It feels odd. My GOTY is something literally no one else voted for. Hopefully that changes this year with its big screen debut!
 
Talos Principle is missing from the big list, and is probably miscategorised - it's a puzzle game and would have taken Puzzle GOTY. Also it's a disc game on PS4 with a 2015 release so downloadable isn't quite right either.
 
Congrats to Bloodborne. I was expecting MGSV to win, just to see a recount a few years after.

It was a competitive year. What a time to be alive.


Good taste people, specially those of you who voted for Hotline Miami 2!


And I was the only one who considered Schrodinger's Cat. I think I'll do a LTTP on it lol.

Bloodborne isn't a JRPG though.
 
I could see Microsoft's exclusives appealing strongly to a mainstream market, which isn't going to reflect well on an enthusiast forum. GAF does have a strong Sony bias.

It's more like the majority on here vocally prefer single-player console gaming. And also, Japanese stuff. Nintendo and Sony simply do a better job catering to those people. And both have put out some critical darlings these last years, which always charted in these list or dominated them. Can't recall which was the last MS exclusive to do so.

It's marked as a Puzzle game, but it was released last year so it's marked as a rerelease, and therefore ineligible for the "main" list. Thanks for the info re: downloadable.

I hope it's that good. I want another FROM classic.
 
Great list all around and some amazing stats. Thanks for putting this together.

I have a feeling the GOTY race in 2016 will be much harder to predict with so many awesome games on the way.

*checks out Trails in the Sky: Evolution's new art and music for changes*

Ugh. You know, I take it back. I'm glad my Trails in the Sky vote wasn't associated with this. Do what you will, Cheese/time!
What... you don't find this appealing?

Or the giant redone profile shots taking up half the screen during conversations to hammer home that the artwork has been redone...

Say it isn't so!

(Yeah, this is pretty fugly. And yet, I would still spring on a port.)

Why did they take all the personality out of the characters faces.

Well, I actually voted for the DLC, which is a 2015 release on all platforms (included on PS4 disc), and that isn't on there either.
