Support NeoGAF

[Grief.exe]

Touched a nerve? Who are you even talking to. Lose the snark.

Yes, Microsoft has had a pretty great lineup of exclusives for mainstream gamers, no-one is dusputing that, but how does that warrant a 'SonyGAF' response or make us biased?
You act like the votes were cast out of some intrinsic love for Sony, regardless of the quality of the actual games in question. If anything, NeoGAF simply reflects trends in enthusiast gaming audiences worldwide.

You've been stretching pretty hard to make your last two posts, even going as far to pull, not only, words out of thin air, but entire arguments as well.

I think I'm going to dip out as this didn't begin amicably, and likely won't end that way.

The poster with the highest number of appearances on affinity charts is Andylonn with a whopping 107(!!!) hits. Barasailey also had a buttload at 75.

Also, I kind of find GOTY lists inherently worthless as a means of declaring worth or validating my own opinions.

I find a community GOTY list like this fascinating more for finding some great games that I have missed and identifying games that I need to give another chance.

this.

its also interesting to look at in contrast of what the media has picked as far as goty.

Yes, this is a healthy way to look at it

Thanks, mate. You rock!

Let us meditate on the journey of 2015.

drago pls don't encourage him- he's going to think he isn't a bad and that can't happen

 

[Palette Swap]

I'm actually surprised MGSV did so well considering the way I've seen GAF talk about it. I mean it's a distant third but still.

I'm speaking only for myself and maybe some people who were posting in the OT and spoiler threads when it released, but it's really a case of liking/loving a flawed game. It made an overall great impression but when it comes to discussing the game, a number of people saw glaring issues in an otherwise impeccable game, and felt the need to discuss this pretty remarkable situation. To put it differently, I guess I was discussing the bad parts while I played the good ones.

Falcom happened

Pretty much and now Persona 4: Dancing All Night is the Vita Game of the Year.

The champion Vita owners deserve.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

congratulations to persona 4: dancing all night on winning NeoGAF Vita Game of the Year

 

[uncleniccius]

A good list.. MUCH weaker than most years overall though, hopefully this year will be stronger for gaming.

Hey, I ain't complaining.

[BumRush]

Oooh, on phone. If someone could provide my affinity list it would be greatly appreciated!!

 

[ViewtifulJC]

I'm not so sure about that, considering MOBAs, MP games or eSports in general are big, yet the majority on this site don't want to recognize them. I mean, LoL is magnitudes bigger than GAF.

Like critics choice as a whole, PC exclusives join handheld and mobile in "things that will never win GOTY"

I think the one exception was Half-Life 2, which fits directly in the single player narrative-focused AAA console space of the past 10 years of GOTY winners.

Tales of Zestiria was robbed!

Edit: post #666 is soooo appropriate, lol.

Hehe, they almost nailed Top 10. We can basically proclaimed them the MOST AVERAGE NEOGAFFERS.

Let's make that a new category.

 

[Augemitbutter]

that's okay. i still need to give P4 DAN a try

 

[Tankard]

Missed the stats file during the first check, interesting:



Reasonable since I only have a PS4 this gen. Also seem to appear 42 times in user affinity lists, with some first places as well, cool!

You and me could have been best friends forever if not for the Fallou 4 entry =(

Spoiler

Great list, bud.

 

[Ultimadrago]

I must say we all have to give props to the top two games considering there developers were relatively small fish until recently.

If you would have told me back in the Witcher 1 days that the company would grow so much and turn Witcher 3 into such a relatively successful single-player title...

I don't know what I would've said, but it would have been in disbelief!

Hey, I ain't complaining.

If you read my post title, I actually think it looks pretty alright. *shrug*

I'm about 20 hours in and I'm enjoying the hell out of it. I don't want to vote for something if I don't finish it but I probably would have.

 

[viHuGi]

Bloodborne beasting!

 

[Busaiku]

Falcom happened

Even ignoring Trails in the Sky, Cold Steel also got messed up in tabulations or something.
It has 64 points, so it should be the number 1 Vita game.

 

[Meccanical]

If only Bust a Groove Still existed...

 

[Miletius]

My favotie part of these is always seeing the affinity lists and seeing who has similar tastes to me.

 

[duckroll]

Even ignoring Trails in the Sky, Cold Steel also got messed up in tabulations or something.
It has 64 points, so it should be the number 1 Vita game.

Platform specific rankings are for exclusives. Cold Steel is on Vita and PS3.

 

[anexanhume]

Bloodborne was life changing. I bought into the GAF hyper and honestly didn't know if I would like it. I had started Demon's Souls years ago but never made it far. I didn't know if I was good enough. I repeated the first stage so many times wondering if I should well and truly give up. Finally made it to the Cleric Beast and tried 12 times. I decided to keep going and finally met Father G. Heart hammering because of his aggressiveness, I beat him on the 6th try and actually fist pumped. I knew I was hooked.

 

[Jumping Chief]

Solid results for a solid year.

Vita category only counts exclusives. Cold Steel gets bypassed due to also being out on PS3.

 

[brau]

i like your avatar.

 

[Tizoc]

What? I'm saying you couldn't possibly have expected stuff like Undertale, Rocket League, Life is Strage or Until Dawn on this list a year ago. And that would be surprising if you hadn't followed GAF all year. Not sure what amount of posts has got to do with it.

Actually they would've made it, if Bayonetta 2 is anything to go by :X

 

[Busaiku]

Platform specific rankings are for exclusives. Cold Steel is on Vita and PS3.

I forgot it was on PS3 too.

 

[Ultimadrago]

 

[AHA-Lambda]

wait, wait, wait, I only just heard this but apparently Rocket League isn't a new IP?

[TheDancingWatermelon]

Let us meditate on the journey of 2015.

It was a great year wasn't--

drago pls don't encourage him- he's going to think he isn't a bad and that can't happen

From my Recommended list:

8. [PSP][PSV][PC] The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky Second Chapter (RPG) = 3 points

I mean I guess I could play my #3 from the voting thread again? I did really enjoy it after all, thanks for the recommendation!

 

[RMI]

Rad to see some Wii U games make it into the top 10.

 

[ethomaz]

Thanks timetokill to fix Halo 5 in the XB1 list.

 

[UberTag]

RPG Game of the Year: Bloodborne = 2729 points, 27 honorable mentions
2. The Witcher III: Wild Hunt = 2460 points, 27 honorable mentions
3. Fallout 4 = 832 points, 28 honorable mentions
4. Undertale = 791 points, 27 honorable mentions
5. Xenoblade Chronicles X = 650 points, 27 honorable mentions
6. Pillars of Eternity = 383 points, 13 honorable mentions
7. The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky Second Chapter = 162 points, 4 honorable mentions
8. Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin = 157 points, 12 honorable mentions
9. Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition = 124 points, 10 honorable mentions
10. Shadowrun: Hong Kong = 88 points, 3 honorable mentions

Liking this much better. Now we just have to get more people to play it.
All of those PCs that can run Undertale can run the Trails games, too.

 

[Nocturnowl]

fuckin' Shadow of Mordor was winning GOTYs that year. People were desperate to attach themselves to anything decent and AAA.

I'm still shuddering over here.

Maximum Affinity reached!

Now for the romance scene.

oh my

with that out of the way, let's get back to the important matters and re-vote 2008 again

MGS4 to clean up even more than usual this time as people long for the days where it was about the 30 minute long cutscenes of nonsense and not about the gameplay.

Spoiler

half joking

 

[D-Pad]

DaMN I didn't even see the voting thread. Add one more vote for Monster Hunter 4U! It's actually one of my favorite games of all times. 😊

Yup. MH4u is a great game.

You're going to have to get people to play the first game. I have it sitting there in my library.

Exclusives for that year actually, hence GTA V on PC. Xseed should have released one of the two versions two weeks later lol.

 

[CrazyHal]

Glad to see Monster Hunter 4 ultimate here. More and more people seem to be getting into the series and that could not make me happier.

 

[iNvid02]

The only affinity list I'm on is randomkid's. I expected this.

is it possible for someone to have no affinity list, is someone floating out there alone in the cold dark void

You're a good man.
