[DrArchon]

4. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

Very deserved recognition. I sunk so many hours in MH4U and loved it so much.

 

[Kurtofan]

When does the goty thread go up?

 

[silva1991]

Wait, where the hell is RoTTR? Lara keeps getting robbed

 

[Confused Cheeseburger]

2 things:

Ah, that BB is sweet nector
I'm surprised fallout got that high, I think Parkin gave it a 3/5.

 

[Shake Appeal]

List features Invisible, Inc.? It's a good list.

 

[Ratrat]

That is probably gafs top 3. Maybe switch MGSV and The Witcher 3.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Cannot argue with choices, but the rankings I would not agree with. Still...

 

[Starsailor]

If Fire Emblem Fates isn't in the top 2016 i will cry

 

[RevolverRoden]

Bloodborne ro--
MGSV robbed

 

[Kssio_Aug]

I havent played TR, but I find it hard to believe it doesn't top any of those 25 titles!

 

[Ushay]

I'm seeing a pattern in that list..

 

[mreddie]

Boobbourne?

 

[killroy87]

Now THAT'S a list. Really well balanced, includes the obvious ones and some little surprises as well.

 

[Raven117]

This list is such bull sheee.....wait...actually, that's a pretty good list.

 

[starchild excalibur]

I still need to finish Everybody's Gone To The Rapture. The story is engrossing, but the gameplay is... well, it is not.

I need an audiobook version.

 

[watdaeff4]

I think I might be one of the few that didn't really like Rapture

 

[starchild excalibur]

I think I might be one of the few that didn't really like Rapture

You don't like your game to be the equivalent of drinking warm milk right before bed time?

 

[Rooter McGavin]

That's a pretty good list.

 

[Terareflection]

I think I might be one of the few that didn't really like Rapture

Read the thread, it doesn't seem well liked here.

 

[Phat Michael]

#1 is ok with me. But id put rise of the tomb raider and halo 5 as the top 3.

 

[Aceofspades]

Yes BLOODBORN.

Great taste The Guardian.

 

[neurosyphilis]

Good list except for Destiny. Glad Until Dawn made it. The game is getting recognition it deserves.

 

[watdaeff4]

Read the thread, it doesn't seem well liked here.

Obviously was speaking in hyperbole, just commenting as this is the 2nd best of 2015 list I've seen the game show up in.

It's not in my personal top 25 of what I've played and I haven't even touched some "greats" like Witcher, Fallout, RoTR, Life is Strange yet

Telegraph knows what's up.

 

[goonergaz]

Shame PS4 has no games...

 

[PseudoViper]

Destiny made it, but not Tomb Raider? C'mon

 

[The 8-Bit Raider]

SOMA on the list...Approved.

 

[Gandalf]

Played 9 of those. Pretty good list. Nailed the top spot, Bloodborne is game of the generation for me so far. Undertale needs to be higher in my opinion, but glad it's on there.

 

[NIGHT-]

Destiny made it, but not Tomb Raider? C'mon

Yea, that was pretty lame

Damn.. Bloodborne swept the competition.

 

[Bubble Walrus]

I bought Monster Hunter 4 months ago and have never played it or any other Monster Hunter. Is it too late to start?

 

[Jumping Chief]

Another list without Rise of the Tomb Raider. Disappointing.

 

[AdanVC]

Splatoon it's been on pretty much all lists of best games of the year so far. That game has been nothing but a smashing success in terms of everything. So happy about that. Game of course is totally awesome and addictive.

 

[lowhighkang_LHK]

I thought bloodborne fanboys were bad when it lost but they're even worse when it wins

You might want to edit your post. Calling people fanboys ....yeah, not cool.

 

[The Lamonster]

Good list! I would have Arkham Knight somewhere in the top fifteen though.

 

[Murkas]

Great list, seems MH4U has been kinda forgotten due to it being released in Q1, nice to see it on there. Easily my most played game of the year along with Bloodborne.

 

[Alpha Phoenix]

Why isn't Rise of the Tomb Raider on these lists? It's an excellent game.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Why isn't Rise of the Tomb Raider on these lists? It's an excellent game.

Here's their review to it

Lara Croft trades original ideas for popular ones in an action blockbuster that will please the crowds but leave some nostalgic for the days she actually raided tombs

http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/nov/11/rise-of-the-tomb-raider-review-lara-croft

I'm not surprised it didn't chart.

 

[Curufinwe]

Boobbourne?

Starring Laura Croft.

 

[redcrayon]

As an Englishman I don't recognize The Guardian as a fair journalism media outlet.

I don't disagree with this list (it's only someones opinion anyway), but The Guardian are known for pushing agenda instead of fairly covering the news. They'll spin press releases where they should be asking questions to those that put out such things.

I disagree. All newspapers do that, and the Guardian is generally regarded as being one of the better UK ones. It wears it's left wing bias on its sleeve but compared to the utterly destructive venom, sloppy journalism and xenophobia of the Mail etc, it's in a different league. At least they run a regular corrections column and have an editor dedicated to investigating reader complaints.

On topic, great to see Monster Hunter in the top five, GOTY for me.

 

[Turin Turambar]

Is this the "random top game list of the year" thread?

Mashable

15. Destiny: The Taken King
14. Guitar Hero Live
13. Tales from the Borderlands
12. Heroes of the Storm
11. Rocket League
10. Mortal Kombat X
9. Rise of the Tomb Raider
8. Splatoon
7. Call of Duty: Black Ops 3
6. Her Story
5. Bloodborne
4. Batman: Arkham Knight
3. Super Mario Maker
2. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Spoiler

1. Until Dawn

 

[BokehKing]

Can't complain with what's there, especially bloodborne on top


Nice to see Life is Strange is on there

Destiny improving and infuriating people online is always good for my French fries

 

[Eman Resu]

Bloodborne was robbed

 

[Turin Turambar]

Nice! MH4U getting some well deserved recognition.
