I guess I liked witcher 3 best for having the only competent writers outside of rockstar in a big budget type developer.
I liked Witcher 3, Her Story and Bloodborne. Indivisible is the best demo of 2015.
I still probably played Skyrim and Dark Souls II more than any of them though.
My vote would be for Undertale just for how angry it makes GameFAQs posters. Plus, while Iāve played a lot of MGSV and Fallout 4, I gave these games as much attention as I did because of how much of a big, goofy mess they each are. Splatoonās cool, but about the only competitive multiplayer games I have time for lately are those which have nearly no reaction time componentāfor that reason, Hearthstoneās just about the only game that could challenge Undertale, but thatās not a 2015 game, and the 2015 expansions were pretty mixed.
I think Undertale was the only game that came out this year that I played at all.
My real vote goes to the Indivisible demo, though.
Actually a surprisingly accurate description of the gameās style.
As it should.
Undertale was good. Doesnāt everything make GameFAQs posters angry though?
Bloodborne and MGS5 for me because I am boring.
Fallout 4 has been fun, but is also a mess and kinda lazy, but that is OK.
Only 2015 things I actually played are Her Story and Undertale
Her Storyās script and acting were pish but the format was interesting
Undertale, then
NOSY ADMIN EDIT: iām an idiot and missed the distinction but I think itās more fun to fight about it in one thread
Traditionally an Axe thread (in that I did it once), but my New Forum resolution is to post all video game threads in KOP.
This is the thread where we nominate the best game we played this year, regardless of when it came out, if we finished it, or if it really constitutes a complete game.
My nominations are:
-
Pokemon Showdown - the e-sport of choice for 12-year-olds and me
-
The Indivisible prototype - with brilliant system design, lush presentation, a top-shelf soundtrack, finely-tuned difficulty, pretty much no bugs, and even a hidden boss/challenge mode, this is vertical slice might be the most polished game released this year.
-
2-Hours of Undertale: I liked what I played. I will probably beat it during Christmas or on a plane.
-
A Rotoscoped Beat-em-Up That Was Clearly Made in College and Then Uploaded to the X-Box Market Place as a Free Download: I donāt remember what this was called, but I played it with Tulpa before his wedding, and it was a really good time. It was a real gem among all the free softcore porn games.
-
Clone Avoid: Not the best increpare game, but itās nice to see him return to form(alism).
So yeah: thatās all I can remember right now. What were your favorite gaming experiences this year?
Did CHYRZA come out in 2015? I like that one. It has everything I liked about TRIHAYWBFRFYH the year before but with good, original writing and correct pronunciation throughout. Plus the title is a lot easier to remember.
Unfortunately, The Beginnerās Guide, which I know came out this year, seems to have closed the book on these sort of short, experimental, enthusiast, first-person games that I enjoy. Itās hard to explain what I mean. Maybe itās just that using those ideas in the service of a Pale Fire meta-narrative cheapens them, not only within the context of the Beginnerās Guide, but in other peopleās games as well. Like, those ideas in themselves could never be good enough to follow up The Stanley Parable(?).
I mean itās still good; still GOTY worthy to me, just, gee, he really seems to be shitting where he eats. And I donāt mean shitting on Coda. Codaās not real. Like I canāt believe how many professional writers played that and thought Coda was real (I canāt believe how many professional writers havenāt read Pale Fire.)
I played Undertale for a few hours and gave up. I watched a play-through of the last boss rush of the good ending though, and yeah, I can see why a lot of people would go for that. Little bit much for me, though. Kind of childish? Not that thatās a bad thing. Just not for me anymore.
Hi. Like the new forum.
CSGO
yeah im boring!! but hey i played 750 hours of it and itās the most fun iāve had in video games in a while
I didnāt play many videogames this year, sadly, and the ones I played were mostly mainstream, big-budget stuff. Also, my life has changed a lot lately, so I think there might be a bunch of games I played this year that I actually mistakenly remember as playing longer ago. THAT SAID, Splatoon and MGSV are my top 2. MGSV has so many things that are bad about it, but it still blew me away with the quality of its engine, systems, and level design (especially for the āimportantā story missions with dedicated level areas). Splatoon is just a fucking incredible competitive game with a fresh style, and I love how much theyāve updated it since release!
Oh, I guess I played the Phoenix Wright trilogy for the first time in like February. Those games are amazing.
I might get around to playing Undertale, Her Story, Cibele, and all the other cool indie stuff before the year is out.
Uhā¦okay. Iām going to keep the thread I made, because it wouldnāt make much sense for people to nominate Ninja Turtles for the NES as GOTY 2015.
Two of the games I mention werenāt made this year!
All depends on whether or not you think of time in Earthly derivation really. By Plutonian standards all games have just come out this year.
Splatoon was good too. Iām bad at it.
I dont give a rip: The Best game of 2015 for me was Castlevania 2: Simons Quest which I played to completion for the first time.
I did not play any games that came out on any current generation home console systems or that came out for PC in 2015. Old games and 3DS exclusively for me in 2015.
based on time played ā heroes of the stor-BLEAAAHHHH
otherwise her story, downwell, splatoon, undertale, grow home, helldivers, else heart.break()
and skate 2
underdogs that may have been forgotten:
Westerado
Dropsy
Titan Souls
Invisible Inc
Nuclear Throne << played this one a lot, fucking amazing development process
@spacetown How is helldivers solo?
Helldivers solo is still a good objective-based twinstick shooter, but the fun and hilarity exponentially increases as you add more players. Coincidentally, so does the friendly fire.
HOTS is also my most played, you should play with me
@anothergod - I actually havenāt tried it solo, itās mostly an inclusion because itās the only co-op game Iāve gotten my group to enjoy unequivocally, which is kind of an achievement! I definitely think that itād be totally respectable solo, as notbov said, but I donāt think I can go back to solo play after having played it with my group. probably vice versa though? it seems easier to go from solo play to co-op
@Ronnoc - send me your battle.net id or whatever they call it! Iām on less at this point because Iāve gotten super burned out on the game but Iāll play with people I know
