Rocket League and Bloodborne Top 5?

People know the truth!

 

[Raven117]

Bloodborne got robbed!

</sarcasm>

Can't argue with most of that list really. Fallout 4 IMO Is a little too high . . . but...meh. the people have spoken.

Halo 5 the top FPS of 2015. Hype

Fallout 4 doesnt count

 

[Hypron]

Damn The Witcher is leading by a massive margin.

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

the witcher 3 is stronk

 

[Kriken]

1. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (62%)
2. Fallout 4 (9%)

It's not even close, lol

Congrats to CDPR

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Hope nobody on GAF sees that Fallout 4 > Bloodborne stat

 

[tuxfool]

Must have been Danny shilling for CDPr

Spoiler

/s

 

[jaina]

dang, I was just about to reply Hype along

 

[loki 16]

Witcher is fantastic. Well deserved.

 

[Icyflamez96]

Glad to see Rocket League so high up there.

 

[Regiruler]

Those numbers seem immensely lopsided.

 

[perfectsil]

Landslide win for Witcher 3

 

[Dr. Feel Good]

How does Super Mario Maker out rank Xenoblade but then Xenoblade takes best Wii U game?

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

Witcher 3 will be talked about 10 years from now.

 

[Zia]

#1 and #25 should be flipped, but otherwise tasteful list.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

How does Super Mario Maker out rank Xenoblade but then Xenoblade takes best Wii U game?

Separate polls.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

Witcher won by that much because of it being available on all platforms sooooo

 

[Piston Hyundai]

but I thought undertale was the greatest game ever made

 

[fastmower]

I wonder how many people voted.

 

[Fat4all]

but I thought undertale was the greatest game ever made

but why are people so obsessed with undertale

 

[erawsd]

How does Super Mario Maker out rank Xenoblade but then Xenoblade takes best Wii U game?

I assume you get one vote in each category, so the people voting for Xenoblade for best WiiU game voted for something else for best overall.

 

[eksy]

The people have spoken -- well deserved. Congratulations, CD Projekt.

Been playing games for a long while and I echo VanOrd's statement: "one of the greatest games I've ever played." I remember actually grinning while playing the game early on (in Velen), and purposely tried to take my take with the game (not knowing how lengthy it was).

My hope is that it forces other devs to raise the bar to try and match their quality and commitment to gamers.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Wow, Witcher 3 in his own league.
Fallout 4 2nd though? What?

 

[RPGam3r]

Witcher 3 killing it, and Fallout in second can't wait to hear how it shouldn't be there...

 

[DeepEnigma]

Hope nobody on GAF sees that Fallout 4 > Bloodborne stat

Well here it isn't. For the site itself.

Witcher 3 killing it, and Fallout in second can't wait to hear how it shouldn't be there...

It should not be there because it is a typical Bethesda technical junk pile. Why in 2015 now 2016 we can't have polish, and not glaring janky messiness from 10 years ago with some devs? Inexcusable.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Xenoblade Chronicles X gets a well-deserved top ten. Glad to see it's late release didn't hurt it here.

Also was overall GOTY.

 

[tuxfool]

Witcher 3 killing it, and Fallout in second can't wait to hear how it shouldn't be there...

It shouldn't be there.

 

[ODDI]

The people have spoken but blah blah blah was robbed.

 

[Morat]

KSP was robbed

 

[Daingurse]

Jesus, straight domination from Witcher 3. I can dig it.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Filthy Gamespot casuals.

Congrats to CDPR!

 

[erawsd]

Witcher won by that much because of it being available on all platforms sooooo

Its not the only one widely available though. In fact, MGS is even on last gen consoles.

 

[PrinnyBomb]

Disappointed to not see trails in the sky sc or trails of cold steel, but it's expected

Glad to see XenoX on the list, even though it's only 10th

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

Good choices. The percentage for w3 is a little crazy but whatever.

 

[tuxfool]

Disappointed to not see trails in the sky sc or trails of cold steel, but it's expected

What is it about TiTS that makes people so optimistic?

 

[RPGam3r]

Well here it isn't. For the site itself.

And others think it should be there. It's technical "junk" that no one even tries to do despite it being a gold mine. Totally excusable until I see someone do what they do and do it better.

 

[Fitts]

Landslide victory in a user poll... what the heck is wrong with me, GAF? Why did I find Witcher 3 so dreadfully boring?

 

[His Majesty]

Wow, Witcher 3 in his own league.
Fallout 4 2nd though? What?

Probably the most sold game on that list so a lot of people played it.

 

[Fat4all]

This reminds me, I have a 80 hour W3 save file that needs dusted off and finished.

 

[Fuz]

1. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (62%)
2. Fallout 4 (9%)

Ahahah holy shit.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

Not big on WRPGs (I've tried, many times), but I do like that much of the top ten are single player games. Many were expecting everything to go MP, but the last few years have proven that SP games are still a huge draw.

 

[PuppetMaster]

Top 5 pretty close to my own list

 

[RespectThySole]

Well deserved. Cyberpunk will be huge. Congrats CDPR!

 

[Forerunner]

Nice to see Cities: Skylines on a list.

 

[DannyDanger]

wow, i guess i should try the witcher 3...

-never played any games in the series,
-i'm a gameplay over everything guy (i hear the combat isnt great)

should i still get it?

 

[$h@d0w]

25. Her Story (0%)

Robbed.

 

[NIGHT-]

Witcher has been dominating. Well deserved

 

[Hyun Sai]

Wow, we really should have the Geralt holding 24 heads pic, this domination is insane...
