So this isn't a game of the year thread, that will end up being made really shortly I am sure. Things have changed and I am going to trying and do a Official PGRF GOTY thing. The plan ,at least at the moment, is that I will make a google doc for everyone to submit there votes. For the individual genres gets 1 vote and the overall game of the year will be decided by everyone listing their top 5 games. Those games will be given a point value based on what position they are in your top 5. 1st get 5 point, 2nd get 4 points and so on. I will add everything up and share the results at the end of the year. Shooter -BlackOps 3 -Destiny: The Taken King -Halo 5: Guardians -Killing Floor 2 -Rainbow Six Siege -Splatoon -Star Wars Battlefront 3 -Verdun Action -Ark: Survival Evolved -Assassin Creed Syndicate -Batman Arkham Knigh -Bloodborne -Dragon Quest Heroes -Disney Infinity 3.0 -Dying Light -Helldivers -Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number -Just Cause 3 -Metal Gear Solid 5: Phantom Pain -Rise of the Tomb Raider Adventure -Affordable Space Adventures -Game of Thrones -Life is Strange -Steins;Gate -Tales of the Borderlands -Until Dawn RPG -Age of Decadence -Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance -Fallout 4 -Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate -Pillars of Eternity -Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon -Story of Seasons -Tales of Zestiria -Undertale -Witcher 3 -Xenoblade Chronicles 3D -Xenoblade Chronicles X Strategy -Code Name STEAM -Hard West -Invisible Inc -Mordheim: City of the Damned -Starcraft II: Legacy of the Void -Heroes of the Storm Platformer -Broforce -LEGO Dimensions -N++ -Ori and the Blind Forest -Super Mario Maker -Yoshi's Woolly World Racing -Forza 6 -Project Cars Fighting -BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma EXTEND -DragonBall Z: Extreme Butōden -DragonBall Xenoverse -Guilty Gear Xrd -J-Stars Victory VS+ -Mortal Kombat X Sports -MLB The Show 15 -NBA 2K15 -Rocket League -Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 Simulation -Car Mechanic Simulator 2015 -Cities Skylines -Fallout Shelter -Kerbal Space Program -Prison Architect XboxOne Exclusive -Forza Motorsport 6 -Halo 5: Guardians -Ori and the blind forest -Rise of the Tomb Raider WiiU Exclusive -Affordable Space Adventure -Kirby and the Rainbow Curse -Splatoon -Super Mario Maker -Yoshi's Wooly World -Xenoblade Chronicals X PS4 Exclusive -Bloodborne -Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance -Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture -The Order: 1886 -Until Dawn 3DS Exclusive -Box Boy! -Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. -Etrian Mystery Dungeon -The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes -Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate -Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon -Story of Seasons -Yo-kai Watch Vita Exclusive -Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls -Hyperdimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed -Persona 4: Dancing All Night PC Exclusive -Age of Decadence -Cities: Skylines -Crypt of the NecroDancer -Hard West -Heroes of the Storm -Kerbal Space Program -Mordheim: City of the Damned -Pillars of Eternity -Prison Architect -Starcraft II: Legacy of the Void -Undertale I will update this list as people post new game.

Adding onto yours. Shooter: Halo 5 BlackOps 3 (best multiplayer since Blops 1) Destiny: The Taken King Adventure: Rise of the Tomb Raider AssCreed Syndicate Dying Light RPG: There is only Witcher 3... Racing: Forza 6 Project Cars It's sad Yoshi's Wooly World is even considered when it comes to platformers. It doesn't hold a candle to the recent Rayman, Donkey Kong, or Mario games. It sucks, balls. Fat, hairy, sloppy balls. |

Admittedly haven't played all that many fresh releases this year, but here is the list of ones I've played that would definitely be at least up for consideration: Tales from the Borderlands (technically first episode was released in 2014) Game of Thrones (same for this one) Splatoon Life is Strange Super Mario Maker Story of Seasons Xenoblade Chronicles 3D J-Stars Victory VS+ Some others that I played this year which were NOT GOTY-worthy for sure are Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival, Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer, Mario Party 10, and Minecraft: Story Mode (I didn't hate Minecraft: Story Mode, just not GOTY quality). Additionally, here are a bunch of games I still haven't gotten to play that I'm sure would be at least be up for consideration for me: Rocket League Fallout 4 Until Dawn Disney Infinity 3.0 LEGO Dimensions Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 Black Ops III Honestly, Splatoon, Life is Strange, and Super Mario Maker are the big three for me this year. All stellar titles, not sure how I would rank them yet. |

So, Splatoon, Life is Strange, and Super Mario Maker definitely make my shortlist for GOTY, but I haven't played a lot of the titles that have released this year, so when I eventually end up doing a list, I think I'm more gonna cover the highlights of games I played through for the first time this year. |

Nope, I can appreciate flawed games. But again I haven't played it myself so there's that. I like to form my own opinions on things first without going too much with the hive mind. |

Lol @ mario maker as a potential goty. When you have games like witcher 3, which progressed the rpg genre with its huge diversity of side quests and sheer expanse... nominating a bare bones level design game (which isnt anywhere near as flexible as LBP which came out how many years ago???) Is really, really dumb. But. Ya know. THPS needs *some* competition |

So is this like collectively PGRF's forum GOTY kinda deal? We usually have the personal one topic but I don't think we've done this one before, will it work via voting? Keep in mind we still have Xenoblade, Rainbow Six, and Just Cause 3 coming soon :] Mortal Kombat X Killing Floor 2 (under shooter) Batman Arkham Knight Dragon Quest Heroes StarCraft Legacy of the Void, although I doubt too many people here played it. Bloodborne I don't necessarily like all these games (screw MKX) but they came out this year. Bit of a disappointing year for shooters tbh. Just looking at that list...Splatoon is cool but got old fast, Killing Floor 2 got old fast, Battlefront 3 is going to get old fast imo, BlackOps 3 is the best COD since Blops 1 but it's still COD, Halo 5 had a bad campaign and pretty good multiplayer, and Destiny: The Taken King while being really good is just Bungie making that game actually fun. Battlefield Hardline was also pretty meh after a week. Edited by NinjaPenguin8969, Nov 22 2015, 11:59 AM.

I personally enjoyed SMT: Devil Survivor 2: Break Record immensely but since it's a remake of the DS game I wouldn't justify putting it on a GOTY list. I kinda feel the same way about other 3DS remakes like Xenoblade 3D, Majora's Mask 3D and so on. I feel like I didn't play enough "new" releases this year to justify a list here. For example, I heard some really good stuff about Yatagarasu which was made by three former SNK employees and also heard a lot of positive feedback about Mecha Ritz which I never got around to play either. LOL |

Admittedly, I've only played a handful of new releases this year. The Witcher 3 is my current front-runner, because it is a fantastic RPG that nailed the open world gameplay and has the depth to make it consistently interesting and enthralling. Outside of that, AC Syndicate would be my runner-up. Yes, it is Assassin's Creed and it upholds the series tradition of non-innovation, but I had a blast playing it. Fallout 4 is a possibility, we'll see how it holds up over the long haul, and I'm hoping that Rise of the Tomb Raider will be another winner. I bought it, but have yet to play it. The one game that I would not put on my list is Metal Gear Solid V. People loved it, but I struggled to get into it and quickly got bored. |

It isn't stupid, all that matters is if the game is fun for them. Witcher 3 isn't going to appeal to everyone, especially considering that it takes a good 70-100 hours to complete. Whereas I'm assuming with that Mario game you hop in and out easily. Hope you like Rise of the Tomb Raider, Ben. You'll feel right at home if you liked the 2013 game. |

I thought I had explained this in my first post but my intention wasn't to make a Official PGRF GOTY topic, It was really just make to help everyone make their own list and not overlook game they liked just because they happen to forget a game came out this year. But if you guys have an interest in that I don't have a problem setting up some kind of voting system. |

Speaking of Mario Maker... I haven't played it but I know that there were tons and tons of unofficial Mario hacks and Mario editor/tools out there for PC. Just curious, did those of you who played Mario Maker ever dabble into those prior to playing it? I remember seeing some cool stuff that people had made using unofficial editors/tools. Just wondering how they stack up against Mario Maker.

Lest we forget, Mario Maker was made by Nintendo and Andy took a blood oath to hate on them for all eternity ![]() Back on topic, Rise of the Tomb Raider was one of my most anticipated games that had the misfortune of being released on the same day as Fallout 4. The consensus seems to be that it improves on everything the 2013 reboot did, so I'm hyped. I'll probably start it this week. |

Mario Maker strikes a chord with a lot of people, I think. I honestly have spent such a minimal amount of time actually creating levels but have been having a blast just playing through everyone else's. It's like Minecraft in that it's amazing to see what happens when you give players a blank canvas to utilize their creativity. One level's an uninspired, garbled mess of spammed enemies and obstacles, but then the next is a super fascinating use of the game mechanics like they've never been used before. There's a lot of crap levels in there, but when they're good they are good. I only have minor complaints with Mario Maker. |

I am not against making a few polls, I feel like the hardest part is making this list that I am already doing. Since I have never seen that done here it just didn't occur to me to do that. |

^I tried to do one back in 2010 and it was epic fail lol: http://s1.zetaboards.com/PetesGameRoom/topic/3988043/1/#post555934 Just FYI in case you decide to put up a poll, there's a cap on how many entries you can have in a poll so I learnt that the best option was to have everyone just post their picks and then update the OP with the votes. |

Well, I think that there should be a list for best exclusive for each of the platforms. So, take tony hawk 5 down cause idk who would like that game ever and here are my contenders. I would also like to disclose this, just because it's on my list of contenders, doesn't mean I have played it, although I have played most of these anyway.I'm simply putting games on here that are regarded as Goty material by many. I'm going to leave it as only ≤ five contenders to make it simple. Best Action Game -MGSV -Rise of the Tomb Raider -BamHam Arkham Knight -Ark -Just cause 3 (lets face it, it will be good) (Winner for me MGSV) Best Adventure/"Point and Click"/Visual Novel -Steins;Gate(got released here in the states this year) -Tales from the borderlands -Life is strange -Until Dawn (Winner for me Steins;gate) Best platformer -Super Mario Maker -Ori and the Blind Forest -N++ -Broforce (super mario maker is my pick) Best Indie -Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number -Undertale -Rocket League -Invisible Inc -Verdun (Hotline Miami 2 is my pick) Best Rpg -Witcher 3 -Bloodborne -Fallout 4 -Tales of zestria -Xenoblade X (My pick Bloodborne) Best Simulation game -Cities Skylines -Prison Architect -Kerbal Space program(officially released this year) -Car mechanic simulator 2015 (Cities skylines is my pick) Best Sports game/Racing (listen, I know this is pgrf, but some still might vote on this anyway) -NBA 2K15 -Forza 6 -MLB The Show 15 -Project Cars -Rocket League (My pick Rocket League) Best Shooter -Splatoon -Cawadooty black cocks 3 -Halo5: Guardians -Verdun -Battlefront (don't have a pick) Best Fighting game -BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma EXTEND -J Stars Victory + -DragonBall Xenoverse -Mortal Kombat X (Mortal Kombat X I guess imo this year kinda sucked for fighting games) Best Xbone exclusive -Halo 5 -Forza 6 (wow just wow really) Ps4 exclusive games -Bloodborne -Until dawn -The order 1886 (duh Bloodborne) Best Wii U exclusive -Super Mario Maker -Splatoon -Kirby and the Rainbow Curse -Xenoblade X (Super Mario Maker) |

So I don't mind doing one for best platform exclusion, that is not that hard. I will not do one for Indies because I feel people make that category because they thought indie wouldn't be able to compete with retail game and I disagree with that. If there are indie games you like I will gladly put them in whatever genre they belong to. I am not going to take Tony Hawke 5 down. I kind of agree with you but if someone wants suggest a game I will put it up. If no one votes for it whatever, it is not hurting anything. I will leave it up to you guys do you want Bloodborne in Action or RPG. I think if it as an action game but I know a lot of people think of it as an RPG. Edited by Unclever, Nov 23 2015, 08:19 PM.
