Boodborne got robbed

 

[Sotha_Sil]

SOMA and Ori are way too low, imo. Otherwise I can't complain too much.

 

[MisterR]

No Bloodborne or Witcher 3 makes list invalid. Oh, nevermind.

 

[Mepsi]

Take Fallout 4 out of that list and I think they have it pretty much spot on IMO.

 

[Denton]

Soma should be higher and missing Dying Light completely is just shameful. Would put Fallout much lower as well. Other than that, good list.

 

[OléGunner]

That's a damn good list.

Just needs Destiny removed and Until Dawn pushed higher to be better.

 

[RespectThySole]

I don't agree with the order at all (especially for Fallout/MGS), but lots of good games on that list. Well done.

 

[Drencrom]

No robbery in sight

Glad to see Rocket League in the Top 10 too

 

[dodgykebaab]

As an Englishman I don't recognize The Guardian as a fair journalism media outlet.

I don't disagree with this list (it's only someones opinion anyway), but The Guardian are known for pushing agenda instead of fairly covering the news. They'll spin press releases where they should be asking questions to those that put out such things.

 

[LiquidSolid]

I think my only real issues with that list is Tales from the Borderlands over Until Dawn. TftB was a well told story but it's still the same old Telltale formula where they may as well not even bother giving you choices because they don't matter one bit. Whereas I felt Until Dawn used the medium far, far better, didn't run on a shit engine and the story was just as well written.

Otherwise very good list.

WTF

Spoiler

Rocket League should be higher on that list

 

[banagher]

15. Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture

 

[More_Badass]

Nice to see Mushroom 11 and SOMA getting some recognition

 

[Shuggananas]

Wait Rise of the Tomb Raider didn't release in England?

Wut.

Wut? I'm pretty sure it was with flopped sales.


It was.

twas but a jest related to how the game bombed

 

[chris121580]

I would say that's the best overall list I've seen so far. All of those are really quality games

 

[Sojgat]

Rainbow 6, Tomb Raider, and Dying Light should be on there, but that's actually a pretty good list.

Is TTK going to be eligible for GAF GOTY?

 

[Breakfast at Noon]

Tomb raider come out same day as Fallout 4 in the UK.

Just because something sells badly it does not mean it is a bad game that does not deserve to be in the list.

 

[geordiemp]

Best games =! best sellers. I mena otherwise FIFA 16 would be up there as well.

FIFA is a good game, thankfully the UK market has better tastes than gaming journalists. Luckily most gamers ignore gaming press and their niche tastes and we have a PAL chart

 

[Elandyll]

Something for everybody, and my personal Goty placing 1st... GJ Guardian

Afaik that's the 2nd goty award for BB, after Empire Online.

 

[leeh]

No Halo 5? lol.

Good to see Ori on there, absolutely fab platformer. Best one I've played in years.

He removed the L lol

Good list

 

[manipulate]

Fallout 4 shouldn't be on this list.

Not really, its written from an RPG stand point, I like shooters and to me most of those games are still in my backlog waiting to be opened.

Thankfully my gaming tastes align with what is popular in UK.

 

[ethomaz]

Is TTK going to be eligible for GAF GOTY?

Please.
I will vote for it.

 

[Interfectum]

Fallout 4 shouldn't be on this list.

Agreed. Other than that, it's a solid list.

 

[Alienfan]

Pretty terrible list. Lego Dimensions, but no Tomb Raider or Halo

 

[Acquiescence]

As far as I can tell they didn't even review Until Dawn, and yet there it is. Oh well.

 

[Sicious]

Nice list. Glad to see Beginner's guide here. This list also makes me want to try Soma, i've wishlisted it on Steam some time ago but never bought it.

 

[Spieler Eins]

Also, no Batman is good.

 

[Machinehead]

Dat Bloodborne

The reason why I play video games.

 

[jon bones]

wonderful to see Tales From the Borderlands up there!

what a gem of an adventure

 

[dodgykebaab]

And as another Englishman I consider the Guardian to be the only decent newspaper in the country.

To be fair, I used to read it on a daily basis. Then I started noticing parts in their news reports that was opinion based rather than factual. I'd rather news was kept factual and not interlaced with opinion.

I also noticed that opinion pieces were spin on press releases, and more often than not, no further actual journalism (like asking questions to the person they are writing about) was ever done.

I hold the Daily Mail and The Guardian in the same contempt.

[Dragon Puncher]

Good list. I don't get why brits seem to really love "Everybody's gone to the rapture", but I guess it's a very british game.

 

[LiK]

awesome list. pretty close to mine altho my order is different.

 

[Plinko]

Solid list aside from "Everybody's Gone to the Rapture," which was a slog to play through.

 

[black070]

Project Beast, oh how you delivered - well deserved top spot.

 

[Tapejara]

This list serves to remind me that I need to catch up on a lot of games. Lots of great games on that list, most of which I have yet to play.

 

[ninjablade]

batman deserves more love, controls are amazing, is beautiful, and at a rock solid 30fps.

 

[Surface of Me]

Destiny is a pall upon this list.

 

[Chris1]

Tomb raider come out same day as Fallout 4 in the UK.

Just because something sells badly it does not mean it is a bad game that does not deserve to be in the list.

3 days later in the UK not same day. I agree TR deserved a spot in the top 5.

 

[RespectThySole]

Just noticed Batman wasn't on the list. It had its share of design issues, but I think it deserves a place in the top 25. Controls were really fluid and predator missions were fun.

 

[KraytarJ]

Life is Strange, Undertale, Splatoon. All there, List checks out. Interesting to see someone actually place Monster Hunter, I feel like no one remembers that came out this year. Overall that's a pretty damn good list.

It's easily the worst game in the series.

It's not terrible or anything, but I can't respect any GOTY list it's on.

 

[0.1.1.2.3.5.8.13.21.34.55]

someone finally got the top 3 right.

 

[cyber_ninja]

Bloodborne got robbed again!!! Oh wait, it didn't. YaY!!!

 

[Kssio_Aug]

The list is more or less on par with my experience this year.

Sadly, none of those games (except MH4) were that great for me though. A good top 25 imo, but a shame of a list considering the overall quality of it.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Undertale #11.
