Not when Dark Souls 2 exists, especially not when Dark Souls 2 Scholar of the First Romhack exists

Basically, 2015 has been an impeccable year for video games
not in a world where Dark Souls 2 exists

Mario Maker is in no way GOTY, even if the only thing you own is a WiiU.

It certainly looks fun, but 3 really killed my love of the series so I don't know anymore.
Dark souls 2 gets a lot of shit but it's years ahead of Bloodborne in terms of EVERYTHING except combat pace
everything was so boring in Bloodborne... I didn't hate it but I never ever feel like playing it again, and I couldn't care less about the DLC. The online was boring, the weapon variety was lacking, some of the zones bored me to death, it was easier than Dark Souls 2 overall, zzz
I didn't play Scholar

Oh yeah, my man Barrett was in a title tourney.
Neville vs Barrett was a pretty solid TV match guys
Now just let me look up those results and....FUCK.
Okay what about Stardust....FUCK
Fine, maybe I'll root for the Big Guy and...OH COME ON!
Why do you want me to hurt WWE?
I can agree with this. (I should probably try to actually play more of the witcher mind you)
Damn, that name got me good.
Works well considering what happened with
I still feel like I'm racing to catch up, got Undertale and Axiom Verge done recently, good stuff all round.

feel like every game I've played this year was awesome but had huge compromises made.
MKX had shit online, and the story was at strange odds with the rest of the game's presentation.
Halo 5 has the best levels and multiplayer and looks great but its plot is lame and the squads are stupid.
rare replay reminded me that I just wanted to play the DKC games.
even forza 6's call for 24 cars each race was kind of lame, they never drive clean!
I don't like splatoons aiming, but could maybe learn to live with it.
think of everything I played I like Halo the most, but nevertheless I see no choice but to award Killer Instinct my GOTY award for the third year running. I still have to play life is strange after all the praise here though, might wait for that retail release.

yes it's worse than the game of the generation and the fucking great runner up to the game of the generation
that makes it GOTY 2015. MGS V comes close too
Splatoon is the runner up. fuck mario maker it's a level editing tool ffs.

This is absolutely wrong. Dark Souls 2 is loaded with bad ideas, most of which Bloodborne improved upon / fixed.
1) Dark Souls 2 has a fuckton of weapons that are pretty much pointless. Dark Souls 2 fell victim to the same problem Armored Core had where it had a ton of guns, but 80% of those weapons were outclassed by weapons that were straight up better in every way. Bloodborne cut a lot of the fat away and made every weapon viable in the process.
2) Dark Souls 2's world design is really poor. Most of the time it's straight linear baths to a final bonfire to send you back to Majula. It's nowhere near as intricately designed as Dark Souls, Demons, or Bloodborne were. Also, parts of the world make no fucking sense in general - like the elevator to Iron Keep that makes no fucking sense given the layout of the area before. Bloodborne has probably the best designed world since Demons.
3) Bonfires. Bonfires fucking everywhere
4) Too many fucking humanoid bosses with shieids and swords/spears.
5) DS2 ruined the nice Estus Flask system DS1 had. The Blood Vials in BB aren't much better but they're still better than healing gems and an Estus Flask where you have to level up a stat to drink from it faster.
6) The other Souls games are generally way more fair than DS2 is. The other souls games will play nice and then punish you if you fuck up. Dark Souls 2 has too many moments where completely unfair stupid bullshit happens. DS2 Next Gen Romhack Edition is even worse about this.
7) Enemies no longer spawning after you kill them 10 times over. Rewards players for attrition instead of GITTING GUD and also hurts the ability to grind out for levels. This is just a stupid fucking idea.
8) Dark Souls 2 somehow graphically looks worse than Dark Souls 1.
I really hope From Software got all of their bad ideas out of their system with Dark Souls 2.
I agree with a lot of what you say, and would still play Dark Souls 2 any day of the week before touching Bloodborne again

Oh my god no
Oh my god yes. Good times for months
If the games manage to stay at a DS1 or Bloodborne-tier, I'll be okay with yearly releases. If we get more Dark Souls 2 tier games as a result, then fuck that noise.
Well you hate Bailey so what do you know!
*hmph*
The loading times got patched up quite a while ago. I agree they should let you level up from any of the checkpoints though.
I'm feeling the fatigue. I just barely finished Dark Souls 2 and Bloodborne drops... then Dark Souls 3 gets announced for the next year. for fucks sake. I think franchise fatigue may be why I'm not enjoying Bloodborne as much as the other 3 souls games.
it's so clear they're going to run the greatest thing in games from the last generation into the ground, and that sucks.

This game will be $25 at Wal-Mart. Please buy it. You haven't lived till you scrapped some Cons as Bumblebee.

I think The Witcher 3 is truly brilliant. Great style, good music, interesting story, massive amounts of gameplay, good quests, decent movement controls... But, most importantly of all, the combat is boring.
Thus, my GOTY is Bloodborne.

Majora's Mask 3DS and Pokemon Rumble World are my GOTY choices. The former is the best Zelda game ever made, and the latter scratches my Gauntlet itch.
Open world games are a pain in the ass and are beginning to consume every goddamn genre. I don't care how big you can make a world with a terrain generator if you can't fill it with meaningful content coupled with a non shit combat system. That's my problem with Witcher 3. Combat sucks, open world is boring.

That shit is from like 2000 years ago and THEY MADE ANOTHER GAUNTLET
MM3d is cheating, as it's a re-release of the greatest game of all time. of course it's GOTY if you want to count it.
I didn't include OOT 3D or WWHD in their respective years for the same reason. it's cheating, Beef.

I still like Rumble World more.
It released this year, so it counts. I counted Persona 4 Golden when it released, too. If you don't want them counted, then don't release them. Simple as that!

Still partway into Undertale and not quite seeing what the fuss is about. I've had the

Tormentum: Dark Sorrow

Until Dawn
Pillars of Eternity

Destiny: The Taken King - Possibly Fallout 4 to replace it

Still counts! I wouldn't vote for it mainly because I never really cared for the RE games. Loved the story and atmosphere of the first few though.
