The Games of 2015

[ioppolo]

I actually may have a spare. I preordered BO3 at my new local JB and they rang in the morning it was announced to confirm if I wanted one. When I rang up they said that numbers may be low but that they were hopeful that I'd get one. I knew EB was going at 1 so I preordered there too. IF I do have the second copy more than happy to sell it at face value plus shipping costs (I'm not a scalper) but I'd prefer to sell it locally first to escape shipping pitfalls.

If you're in Perth I'm interested.

In the Juggernog edition.

Sadly, in east Brisbane.

 

[Jatz]

Hell no. I still have 20+ PS4/X1 titles that I've never played and have a Steam library of 2700+ games over 99% have never reached completion.

I wish there was some sort of addiction helpline that supported video game collection addiction. I guarantee almost everyone that posts regularly on this forum has completed (and quite possibly played) more games this year than what I have.

You're going to enjoy one hell of a retirement!

 

[TheFreshBanana]

Alright, well, this is what I'll be getting

PS4
The Order 1886
Uncharted 4
Battlefield: Hardline
The Witcher 3
Batman Arkham Knight
Final Fantasy Type 0 (yessssss)
Kingdom Hearts III
Call of Duty: World at War II
Killing Floor 2
The Division

Maybe purchase
Assassins Creed Victory (unlikely)
Dead Island 2 (ehhh maybe if there's an online)

I'll have my hands busy. Doubt I'll touch anything from the maybe purchases.

PS4

MGS V: The Phantom Pain - enjoying it but feels unfinished/rushed
Bloodborne - my PS4 game of the year
Batman: Arkham Knight - relieved I didn't get the disastrous PC version
NBA 2k16 - Was hoping Spike Lee's story would be better but rock solid NBA game
Uncharted - The Nathan Drake Collection - really enjoying it
Rocket League - love it
Mortal Kombat - yet to really play hours into it
God of War III Remastered - enjoying it
MLB 15: The Show - starting to feel samey-samey
LEGO Dimensions - a good game but doesn't feel like value for money yet
Guitar Hero Live - partner and I have played it once. Ugh.
Until Dawn - my partner and I's game of the year to play together. Brilliant.
Apotheon - Yeah, she enjoyed it
Evolve - I did own this. played it for 2 days and realized it was utter s**t
The Crew: Wild Run - actually enjoying this but its not the best
Final Fantasy Type-0 HD - one of my few CE regrets
Tales of Zestiria - need to get into it more
The Order: 1886 - need to show my partner this because the art will be up her alley but the game sucks

Games I own but Unplayed: PES 2016, Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster, Skylanders SuperChargers, CoD Black Ops III, Disney Infinity 3.0, WWE 2k16, Mad Max, Assassin's Creed: Syndicate, Star Wars Battlefront (got it on PC too), Fallout 4 (got it on PC too)

XBOX One

The Witcher 3: Got the CE for the Gwent decks.... Then they were part of the expansion on PC and PS4. Ouch. Should have just gotten the PC version from day one

Rare Replay: Such a brilliant collection. Guiding my partner through some of the epic early games that she missed

Games I own but unplayed: Forza Motorsport 6, Halo 5 Guardians, Gears of War Ultimate Ed.,

WII U

Yoshi's Wooly World: Love it. Great game.

Mario Maker: Was hoping my partner would be into this one much more than what she is. It's still very good.

Xenoblades Chronicles X: Getting this in the coming week

PC

Too many to list but waiting on price drops for some of the bigger titles.

My PC game of the year that I've actually played on PC is Undertale.

 

[pantskyle]

Halo 5 - s**t
Fallout 4 - Brilliant
Metal Gear: The Phantom Pain - Loved it but had hole int he head type flaws. A travesty.
Rare Replay - Meh
Mad Max - Enjoyable for the first 15 hours.
Assassins Creed Syndicate - I really enjoyed it.
The Witcher 3 - Amazing
Batman Arkham Knight - Decent enough
The Order: 1886 - Wasn't horrible. Needed much more content.
Call of Duty - Black Ops 3 - Best I've played in a while.
Dying Light - Not bad at all, good fun online.
FIFA 16 - Normal.
Elder Scrolls Online - Really enjoyed it

Still played plenty of GTA V online.

 

[TheFreshBanana]

Oh yeah, I bought Mad Max too, but returned it. After the first 10 hours, you've essentially played the whole game.

 

[ioppolo]

What about the ps3 remaster of San Andreasthat came out on Tuesday

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

This was a really great thread, TheKanga. Any plans to make a new one for 2016? If not I'm happy to take over.

 

[ioppolo]

What is likely next year?

Uncharted 4
The Division
Farcry Primal
No Man's Sky
Ratchet and Clank remastered
Another Assassin's Creed?

Yooka-Laylee
Dead Island 2

Aww man new Bananarama?

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Aww man new Bananarama?

I put it on the list just for you.

 

[benchwarmer5]

I just hope next year is better then this one
Is it a structural shift or just a soft year ? Lots of money in mobile games could be an underlying cause

 

[LukasTheGreat]

Wtf? This has been the best year of games since next gen came out.

 

[benchwarmer5]

It was the year of refurbished games...best year if thats ya thing i guess

 

[bulletride]

The Witcher and Fallout alone make it a better year than most. The Witcher in particular instantly made my favourite games of all time despite never touching the series before.

 

[LukasTheGreat]

Jesus. What games are you into if this is a bad year?

Witcher.
Fallout.
Bloodborne.
MGS
Tomb Raider.

5 of the best next gen games around atm all released this year.

 

[ioppolo]

I don't get the MGS love tbh.

 

[TheKanga]

This was a really great thread, TheKanga. Any plans to make a new one for 2016? If not I'm happy to take over.

Thanks mate
Yeah was thinking of it, might see what i can do over the weekend.

 

[bok_party]

I don't get the MGS love tbh.

You really needed to play Te previous games to truly understand why it's so beloved. MGS V doesn't do it justice.

 

[beta_condition]

Halo 5 - What happened to that halo gameplay :/
Fallout 4 - Brilliant
The Witcher 3 - Loved the questing but christ I hate that combat
The Order: 1886 - Best graphics this generation however grpahics don't make a game and this is a prime example.
MGS V: The Phantom Pain - We love Kojima
Bloodborne - Game of the year for me hands down, dlc didn't let down either
Uncharted - Well it's Uncharted at 60 fps, do I need to say much else
Rocket League - Decent
Mortal Kombat - i suck at combos, will buy when its much cheaper with dlc added
God of War III Remastered - Refer to Uncharted
Until Dawn - So campy love it
Tomb Raider - Brilliant game which didn't deserve it's suicide release
