Some of us don't like Souls games. Strange, I know. Opinions.

Some of us love them and realize Bloodborne is good but not great.

 

[PetulantChild]

Time proves again they have no idea what they're talking about.

 

[butman]

No Bloodborne. Time must be banned.

 

[brandonh83]

Some of us don't like Souls games. Strange, I know. Opinions.

You're misinterpreting my point. Someone said the list represents the PS4. I simply disagreed because of Bloodborne being an amazing exclusive to the system and the games "representing" the PS4 are multiplatform. Surely that isn't difficult to understand.

 

[cyba89]

2 Wii U games and again media prefers Mario Maker over Splatoon.

I'm not 'media' and I prefer it too.
I think that's a perfectly reasonable opinion.

 

[Shuggananas]

What's laughable isn't the games that didn't make it, quit the bloodborne or MGS5 whining, but some of the games they picked make you wonder what the fuck they were thinking
prune ? batman ? whatever those #4 and 7 are ? heh

 

[twobear]

thanks to this list i am checking out prune

 

[Servbot24]

just gotta love those that can't stand someone having a different opinion. Going to be fun to see how many people try to discredit writers if they dare not have Bloodborne on their lists or high up on their lists. I love the game as much as the next guy, but I don't need extra validation to tell me that.

Why does it seem like I can't stand it?

We're on a forum. Forums are for thoughts and opinions addressed at thread subject. My thought is that Bloodborne is missing from the list posted in the thread's original post.

 

[Dunkley]

Honestly Prune isn't a bad game and definitely deserves to be on that list, but by all respect I don't get why it was chosen to be #1.

 

[Exile20]

Nice for Splatoon and Mario Maker.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

So are people actually interested in what other people liked or they just looking for validation of what they liked?

Interested in Prune for sure.

It's not a bad list at all and they show some real appreciation for diversity in genres and platforms, but I think Batman does not belong there in the slightest, and it's ridiculously early to be writing about the best games of the year when there's still 1/10 of the year to go and at least two major releases.

How would it be missing if it's likely that it wasn't intended for inclusion in the first place?

Time needs more eyes

Their insight is far too low.

Arkham Knight is still a good Batman game and no amount of whining about the Batmobile will change that. And I don't think it should be exempt from GOTY considerations just because of the PC version (I know that's where this talk will inevitably lead).

 

[Zee-Row]

I just looked up a video of Prune and it looks like artistic hipster crap. Do not like.

Hehehe

 

[Xplatformer]

That doesn't sound like a good reason as to why it's an intentional error.

You're right.

Absolute assumption on my part based solely on the fact that the author is familiar enough with Uncharted's linear gameplay yet at the same time oblivious to the PS4 not getting Rise until next year.

Were any other titles tagged with the incorrect platform (we know it wasn't played through on pc or playstation)

 

[Exile20]

No Corpse Party Blood Drive
No DanganRonpa: Ultra Despair Girls
No The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes
Splatoon at number 10, not at the very least top 4.
Tomb Raider is on PS4?
A Mobile game at number one. I know opinions, but bleh.
Boring AAA games.
And its November. Not January to give you enough to play all the games.

Yes, I will take very very seriously.

Spoiler

/S...sort've. I actually do believe all the above things but know opinions may differ. Still seems like a meh list but whatever.

No X

I could have guessed as much before even looking it up.

 

[Lunar15]

Lists are dumb, especially when the year isn't over, but I'm really happy a major publication like Time is talking about a game like Undertale. The writer is cool with me for that.

 

[speedomodel]

Is this seriously not a joke?

 

[jon bones]

[NinjamicWZ]

Just the word Prune is killin' me right now, for no raisin.

 

[Servbot24]

It would be missing because "Game of the Year" is a concept held differently by each individual, so by definition it will be missing titles depending on who reads it.

 

[brandonh83]

I got it on Steam, haven't played much of it but I felt a lot of soul in what I saw. So I agree with this sentiment.

mgsv is sensational. it took me some time to digest the twist, and it is clearly an unfinished game, and the story is clearly undercooked, but it is truly a masterpiece. to think it could've been the greatest game of all-time with a few more months of development time... ;_;

I want the version you played

 

[Subpar Spatula]

It's really cool you respect other's opinions but you sure do respond to almost every one in this thread. :/

 

[Monocle]

I can tell that list is legit because they put an iOS game I've never heard of at #1.

Bloodborne is supposed to be good, but is it as good as Prune? Doubt it.

 

[Conkerkid11]

I want to see an editorial listing the Top 10 Worst "Top 10 Lists" of 2015.

"A few months"

Kinda like Bloodborne harharhar.

Even though it's my least favorite in the "series" thus far, I do think it should be on here somewhere. It's still quite good. What the hell is prune?

 

[ANDS]

Gating the proper ending behind collectibles might be ok, if the ending you got and the journey towards the ending were any good. It wasn't.

 

[PapaEmeritus]

Basically Time tried being different and gave an ios game GOTY to say it's a viable platform, at least that's how I feel.

 

[DoctorFling]

I like seeing weird lists like this, reminds me what a wonderfully diverse medium this is,with strange small titles standing up with AAA giants.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

You appear to suggest iOS isn't a viable platform for gaming.

 

[NinjamicWZ]

i am checking out prune

stay regular

 

[themidnightsun156]

How is Bloodborne not on the list?

gotta make room for prune somewhere

 

[Afrodium]

Guys, Time gave 80 Days the GOTY in 2014. If you look at past years this list fits in.

That said... Bloodborne

 

[Servbot24]

You haven't played it (I'm assuming). Time has more authority on the subject of Prune than practically anyone in here.

All the "I haven't heard of this so it must be bullshit" posts are really disappointing to see.

 

[Three]

edit - also, hard to take them seriously when they list Tomb Raider on the opposite platform it's available on lol

In a 2015 list no less.

 

[Zader]

Basically Time tried being different and gave an ios game GOTY to say it's a viable platform, at least that's how I feel.

It sure does look that way. That said, I haven't played it as I'm sure many in this thread haven't so its hard to say

 

[Chainsawkitten]

Time yet again showing they don't know what the hell they're talking about by liking a game I haven't heard of before. Next thing you know they'll make a Top 10 films of 2015 list with foreign films no one's heard of like Cemetery of Splendour.

 

[PSqueak]

Serious question, do y'all believe games like Bloodborne have mass appeal? like, honestly, i know the game is crazy good.

But really, do y'all think Bloodborne is the kind of game that appeals to the masses?

 

[Shuggananas]

So where's your top 10 article since you seem to be the highest authority to judge best games ?

No, but neither is Undertale.

Re-read his post. He was being sarcastic.

 

[3rdamention]

Not only did they list Tomb Raider as a PlayStation 4 game, but they also begin by comparing it to Uncharted. Well done TIME!

The antithesis of Sony’s linear, shoot-heavy Uncharted games, Rise of the Tomb Raider moves at comparably ruminative speeds, embedding you in its bleakly beautiful and broad wintry landscapes with only your wits and scant weapons. It’s both a study in how to craft a relatable protagonist whose every fight is tooth and nail, and the best puzzle-exploration-survivalism odyssey since Crystal Dynamics’ 2013 series relaunch.

Their 2014 list had Dark Souls 2, though

Mass appeal shouldn't be a factor in GOTY lists.
