Well, it seems that the ones who could overlook the flaws in the gameplay voted for it here, and the ones who couldn't are the "vocal minority". I'm couldn't overlook them, so I could only give it an honorable mention.

You know, for as often as I hear the chorus of "All reviews suck" here, aggregate GAF opinion tends to line up with mainstream gaming site reviewer opinion almost 1:1.

Revengeance and W101 as the top action games and both in the top 20, GAF I am proud of you.

Which still doesn't mean anything for individuals who's opinion doesn't line up with GAFs. I am sure there are plenty of posters that don't have a single gaf top 10 in their list.
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=734511 here is the relevant Media picks thread. If anyone is curious to see how GAF's tastes line up.

Really glad to see Fire Emblem on the list!
At the end of the day, I didn't like The Last of Us as much as everyone else apparently did and definitely don't think it deserved almost 2x the amount of votes as even the 2nd place choice got, but it was one of the better games of last year (it was on my list as well, don't worry, it just wasn't number 1). I thought the story dragged in some parts and the game play felt similar to Resident Evil 4, only not as fun. Outside of the two main characters, I didn't really find myself caring about anyone else, they all seemed pretty forgettable. I felt like it was more of an 8/10 game than a 10/10 game.
Great job to whoever it was that organized this by the way!

Sure? But I said nothing that claimed it represented every individual's opinions, just the overall consensus. That is sort of the point of a large-scale vote, you know.
Stumpokapow
listen to the mad man
I think some of it is that there are people voting in the GOTY list threads who have more mainstream type taste but who aren't necessarily big GAF users. Like there are a lot of GAF users who still get most of their gaming news from IGN or whatever, post pretty rarely, etc.
There's also a self-selection thing where people who bitch about anything tend to be much louder that people who sort of quietly agree. If GAF had a +1 or Like function or whatever, I think you'd probably see more of the silent group speaking up through that outlet.
You see it with stuff like the criticisms made against GTA4 versus the end-of-year reception, or MGS4's revote.
But this year, honestly, by far the loudest review feedback I saw on the site was people complaining that TLOU scores weren't high enough. The Polygon 7.5 was definitely the most active "MONEYHAT REVIEWS SUCK DEATH TO REVIEWERS" thread we had this year. So actually the result of this ballot lines up pretty well with the complaining we saw during the year.

That just means that the chorus of "all reviews suck" is even more true. If there are no outliers than if you disagree with one you might as well disagree with everyone.

I'm literally offended that Infinite is that high up. Completely underwhelming sequel.
Lostconfused
Member
Its that high because a lot of people thought it was ok if not necessarily good or great. It's an entirely popularity and sales number vote.
Great GOTY list. Can't complain about it at all.
Also I feel like my game taste is fucking weird, and these affinities kinda prove it lol.
You guys like some awesome games though. I think after this I realized I really need to play Ni No Kuni and Tales of Xillia. As well as finish SMT IV.
Shout outs to everyone who listed Soul Hackers, that game is fucking awesome!

The actual shooting is much improved. It took awhile before I started to see encounters I like though.

I enjoyed the shooting much more in Infinite than Bioshock on Hard, but the game's combat seems pretty divisive around these parts
and yet its #2 of the year lolol vocal minorities
Stumpokapow
listen to the mad man
I don't think you'll find the shooting any better--it feels a little bit better but they've removed alternate ammo and streamlined weapons a bit and Vigors are not really any more sophisticated than Plasmids. It does have a bit more mobility and level designs complement the combat a little better especially the few times that Skyhooks are used well and in most of the late game.
That being said, the joy of BioShock Infinite as an experience isn't coming from the factual things that happen in the story, but rather the overall feel of going through the world, discovering the audiologs, piecing together everything. I think the journey is more important than the destination.

I'm so happy Revengeance made it in there. And best Action game too 
Only 1 other person on my affinity list voted Dota 2.
But I guess that means it's all over everyone else's recommendations now. Enjoy!
Besides the other reasons mentioned above, one can take issue with the general quality of reviews or the tendency of most reviewers to do certain things- whether it be resorting to hyperbole too frequently, docking games for difficulty, or other common issues people have with reviews- while still generally agreeing with how they might order the best games of the year. I think Bioshock and TLoU were both overrated, and yet they're both on my list. Also, individuals might feel passionate opposition towards the reception of one or a couple games (like my own feelings towards GTAV or the critical reception of W101) while they still agree with the consensus on other titles. (TLoU, Mario and Zelda) This passionate opposition gets lost, though, when you factor that opinion in with thousands of other opinions, who might have also had such a response, but towards a different game instead. When you're dealing with games that virtually everyone played, you only need a small percentage, relatively speaking, to get onboard with a title.

Only bother if you have 10h of gaming hours to spare, no backlog, and don't mind setting the difficulty to easy when some encounters get to annoying. IMHO the shooting mechanics and the encounters aren't fun at all.
I thought Infinite had massively improved gunplay over the first game. It's really more about experimenting with Vigors though.
Pie and Beans
Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
It definitely benefitted from its "everybody played it" status, and for people looking to round out lists. Its placing in the High Quality and Passion Award speak a story I can more understand with the feedback.
Also, games from earlier in the year that have a late year end DLC or PC port get a lot more reinterest in GOTY votes. Capcom were fools to not make a Dark Arisen PC/PS4/XBone port if they were ever serious about GAF GOTY Lists! FOOLS.
I'm pretty damn happy to see Etrian Odyssey IV show up at #20 in the High Quality list. 11/10, Dancer/10

15. [PS3][PSV][PC] Hotline Miami (Action) = 1 point Unexpected but awesome. I bought a Vita mainly for Persona 4 Golden, Ys: Memories of Celceta and PS+ library (was never subbed before but I can't complain for $30) Well it turns out I didn't like most of the free games but Hotline Miami, HOTLINE MIAMI.

Wonderful 101 did pretty good. Good job GAF.
Having skimmed through the stats now, the biggest loser from my perspective was Path of Exile. More people need to play this game asap.
The high quality list is solid, but a bit far off from my tastes. Even though the regular list aligns too much with review sites, I like the few specs of GAF's taste here and there like Tearaway, W101, MGR, etc. that many a site overlooked, and I think that makes it unique. (Tomb Raider's spot baffles me tho).
Thanks to everyone who organized/participated in this. It is always great to see this data, and the recommended list/persona affinity are great stuff to have in mind as well.

Are you a fan of bullet sponges?
The feel of shooting in Infinite is only marginally improved over the originals and the game still features a number of bullet sponge type enemies.
That said, I really enjoy the BioShock mix of guns and powers, and Infinite brings a nice verticality to the table that was lacking in the original 2. Skyhook encounters are the highlight of the game and the real issue I have with the game is that there weren't more of them, as the non-Skyhook encounters tend to be more hit-or-miss. It's a fun FPS if you engage it on its terms and don't play it guns only. It's more effective, more fun, and less frustrating.
Lastly, don't go melee if you want a balanced game. It breaks the game in half with the right mix of upgrades and gear, and you can pretty much spam charge to kill everything on the screen repeatedly.

Hah, my top 15 recommended is pretty funny/interesting. Some stuff on here I've already played/beaten/enjoyed, but I just didn't end up giving them a vote (like MGR, Rayman Legends and New Super Luigi U). You know, I believe I own all NA released Fire Emblem games...and I haven't finished a single one. I get like a few maps in and lose interest for some reason. I'm more of a Matsuno guy when it comes to strategy/tactical RPGs (and I'll always have a soft spot/love for Vandal Hearts). I should probably just pick one of those FE games and stick with it because I know I'll dig 'em as soon as I find a groove with one of them.
I bought The Last of Us near launch because of all the survival horror-like talk ...and I sort of stopped playing before even finishing the first season. I was really harsh on the game at the time and I think I just wasn't in the mood for a "AAA" game. There's still some things that REALLY turn me off about it (like the "invisible" AI characters not being seen by the Clickers), but I'd like to give it another shot, at some point. I think I get frustrated when I play games that are labeled/talked-up as "the right way to do survival horror" or a "return to survival horror" because it's a genre I have a lot of love/nostalgia for (particularly because of school Resident Evil) and I'm still waiting for a proper return to the formula or at least a game to do the genre/formula justice. It's like, some of the stuff I see and play in a lot of these so called "survival horror" games works for me, but then I see checkpoint systems, chapter/stage select menus, and other small things and it just all falls apart for me. It's like pseudo survival horror-elements. Oh well.
Oh, and lol at Fifa 14 getting recommended. Wtf!

It's like, some of the stuff I see and play in a lot of these so called "survival horror" games works for me, but then I see checkpoint systems, chapter/stage select menus, and other small things and it just all falls apart for me. It's like pseudo survival horror-elements. Oh well.
Oh, and lol at Fifa 14 getting recommended. Wtf!

That will teach me to read the allowed games doc next time. >_>
Anyway, my stats and affinity
I recognize most, except the first one and last one.

Thanks a bunch for linking those, for some reason those open up on my phone this way.

Infinite gameplay wise was a complete disappointment for me. I'd say skip it.

Speaking of better FPSs with powers and alt fire stuff, more people should play Darkness 2, Bulletstorm, and Shadow Warrior.

You're telling me
Glad to see Tearaway up there, though.
Only other thing I'd add this year is that I've played 3 hours of Ryse and although it was everything I expected it to be, I still think it was better than Tomb Raider, if for having slightly more entertaining combat alone.

Wrong Res0gun is one of my favorite games this year. Just a nigh perfect classic shooter with some of the best tech of any game yet.
I own Shadow Warrior but just haven't gotten around to it yet. Was going to pick up Bulletstorm but decided to wait based on the GFWL issue. How do those games handle their level design? Are the mostly horizontal affairs or do the firefights make good use of the y-axis as well? It's something I've come to realize I really enjoy, not just from BioShock but from my preference for Halo's sandbox fights as well.
