Looking the top 10 2016 and 2015,I don't understand how someone think last year was weaker than 2015
What makes 2015 so good is the top 3,TOP 3 2015 beat TOP 3 2016 for me,masterpieces (my favorites 1° MGSV,2° the Witcher 3 and 3° Bloodborne,but all of them pretty close,I am replaying Bloodborne and loving even more,I did not played the DLC yet)
But looking all the others games,they are so weak compared to 2016,I mean I love Life is Strange,but I also love even more the Last Guardian.
- Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
- Doom
- Overwatch
- Dark Souls III
- The Last Guardian
- Final Fantasy XV
- Titanfall 2
- The Witness
- Inside
- Hitman

- Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

Uncharted 4 is my GOTY, but i gotta admit it's a chore to get through in my second playthrough. The beginning is so poorly paced, it takes almost 2 hours till you get to a good shooting sequence.
Breakdown from a YouTube playthrough at medium difficulty:
5 mins of set piece gameplay
20 mins of platforming
2 mins of melee gameplay
13 mins of platforming
5 mins of puzzle
10 mins of platforming
2 mins of melee combat
3 mins of platforming
1 min of melee combat
4 mins of platforming
40 mins of cutscenes, platforming, walking around, playing Crash bandicoot
After all that, you finally get some third person shooting. It takes 1 hour and 45 mins till you get to the first shooting sequence. Thankfully there's (almost) no platforming in Last of Us, so Part II shouldn't suffer from the same issues. I think the problem is Naughty Dog overestimated how much people actually like platforming over shooting.

Congrats to the swell folks at Naughty Dog!
And to everyone who put Uncharted on their ballot, love y'all. Teamwork makes the dream work.
Basically it boils down to the disagreement of:
Exclusives are voted higher because they are exclusive.
Exclusives are voted higher because first-party sometimes make games aimed at enthusiast audiences that vote on GAF.
I think it's the latter. All I can say to that is that maybe other publishers should make games aimed at GAF if they want to win GAF's GOTY.

Arkham Knight got robbed, it's definitely a Top 10 game. It pissed me less than Metal Gear Solid V but both are 8-9/10 games.

UC4 won the most critic awards, reader's awards and NeoGAF's GOTY. Time to get worked up!
By default, sure.

I've been here long enough to be accustomed to being way off the median, but that was truer this year than ever before, with the highest appearance by any game on my ballot at #16 (Stardew Valley).
An odd year, I think, in that the actual voting thread flourished with variety and colour without a clear picture of the favourites, but the final tally, at least at the top of the board, verged sharply back towards the predictable. One doesn't place highly in a contest like this without also being widely played, and the statistic that stands out to me is how closely the Widespread Appeal rank tracks the final point totals. Almost a perfect match, in fact, apart from a few rank swaps in tight clusters.
Not surprisingly, my affinity list strongly correlates with the few others who thought highly of Star Fox Zero:
Notably, woopWOOP (1), HylianHero12 (2) and Linkyn (7) all return from my affinity list from 2015, which is surely evidence of good taste on their part.
Thanks to the organizers for running this, as always.

So what to play next :
1. [XB1][PS4] Inside (Adventure) = 14 points - played it, extremely polished game, I can see why people liked it, but it didn't work for me
2. [PS4] The Last Guardian (Adventure) = 11 points - played it, boring, I am also an horrible human being that doesn't really like animals so that's maybe why....
3. [XB1][PS4] Overwatch (FPS) = 10 points - played it for a week end or two, didn't grab me
4. [XB1][PS4][PC] The Witness (Puzzle) = 7 points, 1 honorable mention - played it, it's good
5. [XB1][PS4][PC] Battlefield 1 (FPS) = 7 points - already in the pile of shame
6. [XB1][PS4] Deus Ex: Mankind Divided (RPG) = 5 points - played for 4 or 5 hours, I should try to get back to it
7. [XB1][PS4][PC] The Witcher III: Wild Hunt - Blood and Wine (RPG) = 5 points - I need to finish the witcher 3 first....
8. [IOS][AND] Pokémon Go (Simulation) = 4 points, 1 honorable mention - tried it and nope
9. [XB1][PS4][PC] Watch_Dogs 2 (Adventure) = 4 points - Still need to finish it, it's good but it was not good enough for a top 10 spot
10. [XB1][PS4] Firewatch (Adventure) = 3 points, 1 honorable mention - played it, it was ok
11. [XB1][PS4][PC] Stardew Valley (Simulation) = 3 points - I hate animal crossing and can barely stand harvest moon, so no?
12. [XB1][PS4][PC] Dishonored 2 (Adventure) = 2 points - pile of shame, I also need to finish the first one....
13. [PSV][PS4] Dragon Quest Builders (RPG) = 2 points - maybe I'll try that
14. [XB1][PS4][PC] Furi (Shooter) = 2 points - It's great, also one of the best soundtrack of the year
15. [PSV][PS4] The Last Blade 2 (Fighting) = 2 points - old and yes I like Last Blade 2
16. [IOS] Deus Ex GO (Strategy) = 2 points - I should give one of the GO game a try, any suggestion on which one?
17. [PC] Tyranny (RPG) = 1 point - I already have a bunch of WRPG to play
18. [PC] Civilization VI (Strategy) = 1 point - This time the new Civ didn't grab me, and my sleep is thankful for that
19. [PS4][PC] Overcooked (Puzzle) = 1 point - it seems ok
20. [XB1][PS4] Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 (Strategy) = 1 point - I didn't like the first one, so maybe not
21. [XB1][PS4][PC] Oxenfree (Adventure) = 1 point - I should try this
22. [XB1][PS4] Far Cry Primal (Adventure) = 1 point - tried it, I was bored pretty quickly
23. [XB1][PS4][PC] Abzu (Adventure) = 1 point - looks beautiful, I should try this
24. [PC][OVR][HTC] The Lab (Action) = 1 point - I don't have a pc headset
25. [XB1][PS4] Hyper Light Drifter (Adventure) = 0 points, 1 honorable mention - should give it another try
26. [360][XB1][PS3][PS4][PC][IOS][AND] Batman: The Telltale Series (Adventure) = 0 points, 1 honorable mention - maybe

I guess I could comment on my recommended list too.
1. Uncharted 4: A Thief's End (Adventure) Yeah well, don't have a PS4 and never will. I do own PS3 but never tried any of the Uncharted games, maybe I should. I might like them.
2. The Witness (Puzzle) Definitely interested even when I wasn't a huge fan of Braid. Mostly worried about getting frustrated too fast and relying too much on walkthrough.
3. Doom (FPS) I haven't been into shooters for a long time now, even Wolfenstein felt bit like a slog, even when I truly can acknowledge it being a great game. Doom is faster and more agressive though. So will pick it up at some point, possibly.
4. Overwatch (FPS) Well like I said about shooters. Also trying to avoid multiplayer games for now. I was too stuck on those for about 10 years, that I missed on many great games and still haven't catched up on my backlog. I was interested enough to play this in beta and free weekends. But won't pay a dime for it.
5. The Last Guardian (Adventure) Would actually love to play this, never played any of Ueda's games. But as stated earlier, I don't have a PS4.
6. Battlefield 1 (FPS) Another shooter with multiplayer focus, pass. Though I was bit interested in this at some point, my CPU couldn't handle the multiplayer.
7. Ratchet & Clank (Platform) Yeah no, I've played one of R&C games on PS3. I don't need any more of that.
8. Dark Souls III (RPG) Yeaaah, maybe. Would prefer trying out Bloodborne in all honesty, DS has always seem very unappealing with it's aesthetics. And these are not exactly the kind of RPG:s I want. Will start with DS1 and if I like it, then sure I'll play 3 too.
9. Tyranny (RPG) Been on my wishlist for some time now, ranks high too. So looking forward to it!
10. Titanfall 2 (FPS) The shooter I'm most interested in, for the singleplayer campaign mostly. If there were a Steam release, I would get it at some point I think.
11. Oxenfree (Adventure) Already own it, but haven't played yet.
12. Yakuza 5 (Action) With PC version I would have played this already, I do have unplugged PS3 laying around though.
13. Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIII (Strategy) Who? This needs an investigation. Sounded like some kind of waifu game at first.
14. Stardew Valley (Simulation) Already have it, but haven't given it a proper go yet.
15. Final Fantasy XV (RPG) Pass. I mean, I liked the franchise until 9. But after that I've had zero interest for it.

I have Arkham Knight here,I played a few hours and got bored by the goddamn it Batmobile(I never finished),ruined the game for me,I lent for a friend,he got bored and gave me back,but MGSV I played for more 250 hours in one month,I just stopped after the platinum trophy,my brother never played more than one hour of other MGS,I remember him saying "I will not play more than one hour",but he played until the platinum trophy too,more than 200 hours,the only MGS he really like.Different tastes.
The higher the value the more aligned you are with their taste. (Same games on the list, same scores etc.)I don't really get what this is (what do the numbers mean?) but these are my bro's I guess?
In theory you could use this to look up their ballots and find a game (and reasoning) that you've missed for some reason. (Maybe misconception maybe unawareness.)

I think it's the latter too.
If anything, I think Bloodborne and Bayonetta 2 would have won by even larger margins had they been multiplatform.
I think you were #2 on my affinity list. Our Top 10s are almost identical. *fist bump*I don't really get what this is (what do the numbers mean?) but these are my bro's I guess?
I figured it was something along those lines, thanks! So I guess my numbers are quite high? Fairly in line. Was cool to see my name pop up in a bunch of other people's lists when searching through the data.
Seems like a lot of people from my list had Deus Ex so maybe I should give that the time of day at some point.

Thirdly: I think some of Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel 2's votes ended up in its prequel's pile like this one, or this one, or this one.
Yes, it's THAT series with its wierd nomenclature again I'm afraid.
Fourth: holy balls I went hipster as fuck last year. Had a busy life for long stretches of last year and when I did play games, Rocket League and SF V was there for long stretches of time.
Mine -> GAFs
1 -> ??? (would be 74th if there was a rule change which is still my most hipster-ass placement for my #1 since I started voting)

Preach it, brother.
I did my part. At least it made the top 10 puzzle games.And ato anyone who voted for SHENZHEN I/O.
Greatest Ever
Member
Not a bad top 10 on the whole imo, can't say I agree with UC4 at all though at number 1 but meh
Big well done and thanks to the team for doing this again
EDIT: Oh damn i got quoted for Mankind Divided :O
Ayyy, hype. If you got a link to your list I'd love to see it.
I feel bad for anyone who got linked my trash ballot, I put no effort into it.
Yeah I looked at the Vita list and thought Shiren was the only "exclusive" (even though it's a DS up port that wasn't localized). Zero Time Dilemma is also on the 3DS list which is weird. That whole exclusives post needs to be sorted really.
It's really funny seeing the surprised comments about U4 being number 1, it took most of the press GOTYs, most of the readers picks as well in various sites, but sure EVERYBODY are just Sony/ND fanboys, nothing to do with the game's quality or you having a different taste than others :|

Yeah pretty average year.
GOTY 2017 should be more interesting.
Hell I finished Gravity Rush 2 hours ago and I already think it's better than at least 9 games in my top 10.
Lol seriously.

I don't think enough people played it. If more people bought it I honestly think it had the potential to be number 2.
i think partly why p5 didn't top zelda in the anticipated list this year is because it was already out in japan. it's a small amount, but it could affect the final rankings this year. zelda has a worldwide launch and way more exposure going for it, plus it's starting to crowd persona 5's anime space a little.
horizon will do well - i assume the 4 or 5 slot. mario, zelda, p5, horizon, and mass effect will probably be the top five games unless there's a surprise like doom was this year, or one of those isn't that great (i'm looking at you, mass effect).

I'm happy to see UC4 take the top spot - well deserved!
Yeah I'm surprised that some people are still complaining or outright hating on it.
Yeah I'm surprised that some people are still complaining or outright hating on it.
Uncharted, Doom and Overwatch all came out in quarter 2... How is that recency bias?
Or ya know, it's actually a good game...
Also, comparing points instead of placement is stupid since a different amount of people vote every year. Also if exclusivity matters above metascore, why wasn't Knack a top 10 game?
ArkhamFantasy

Yeah i dont understand why people are upset. Its going to win by far the most GOTY votes critically this year and both casual and core gamers love the series. 2nd place wasnt even close to it.
When Zelda wins this year, are you gonna say how strong Nintendo fanboys here at gaf?

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Uncharted 4 didn't even crack my top 10 but c'mon y'all need to relax on the Uncharted 4 hate.
Y'all need to understand that people voted it #1, it didn't get there by some default advantage. By shitting on it, you're shitting on others opinions whose Top 10 lists are just as valid as yours.

i'm surprised that there even is backlash towards uncharted 4 at this point. disliking uncharted 2 or merely thinking it was okay was considered the equivalent of trolling in 2010.
...and i think uncharted 4 is a good deal better than uncharted 2, which makes it even weirder. like, i think it fixes most of the problems i had with that game, and winds up being kinda good. as far as action-adventure games with strong bonds between main characters, creative world design, and storytelling that is best done in video games, the last guardian is the one i think gets it done. i don't think there's a lot of crossover between those two games though.

Not to mention 2014 when the top 3 games of the year were all Nintendo exclusives. They also had one more exclusive and a console exclusive in the top 10.
All 2016 games instead of the classics like Baldur's Gate and Ocarina of Time.
