Surprised DR1 won over DR2, though I personally prefer 2 over 1.

cormack12 · Jan 17, 2015

Lot of effort went into that, thanks for compiling it. Interesting to read through

Flintty · Jan 17, 2015

Holy shit Nintendo. Incredible.

Excellent post OP, it's obvious a lot of time and effort went into this. Great job.

KaneU · Jan 17, 2015

The best TOP 3 of all time. Wii U owners were so lucky last year.

Bornstellar · Jan 17, 2015

List starts good then gets bad real fast.

Trust me. I'm a PhD · Jan 17, 2015

Proud of my boy, Destiny; 12th overall, 2nd for new IP, and 2nd for best shooter. I will take it!^^ But with only 2 of my votes in the top 10, and only 9 in the top 20, maybe I really am far removed from Gaf regular... Anyway, Thank you OP for all your hard work!^^

Notorious_Roy · Jan 17, 2015

What a wonderful list. Also pretty excited to see Nintendo Pocket Football Club make it to number 10 in the sports list.

Every football fan should try it. It's such a shame it didn't get a US release, even with the World Cup.

Ah well, you know, Nintendo...

Zocano · Jan 17, 2015

Also I'm said in what is probably the strongest year for RPGs in a decade, Divinity and Shadowrun are hardly up there ):

I didn't vote for them! Don't hurt me, I couldn't finish them in time.

Kind of shocked that Yoshi's New Island got multiple votes.

Whoa. I honestly forgot about presence of this game. Maybe it's for the better...

Regret Upon Approval · Jan 17, 2015

Nintendo really shone.
That exclusives scoring segment, damn.

How so?

SargerusBR · Jan 17, 2015

Dark Souls II at #5 is higher than i thought it would be although it is my GOTY

I don't know, all this did was bum me out about 2014.

Ubisoft taking number 2 for seal of quality is pretty funny though.

Lol yeah... had a bit laught at that xD

I dunno... Haven't played 2nd one yet but I heard ppl think DR1 is better in story & gameplay

magnificent83 · Jan 17, 2015

So Nintendo winning is no surprise but Ubisoft at #2 ... Especially after their 2014...

kai3345 · Jan 17, 2015

Pleasantly surprised at how far up the list Divinity made it.

Anth0ny · Jan 17, 2015

GAF you've made me proud. Bayonetta 2 right where it belongs.

Vulcano's assistant · Jan 17, 2015

Games with a 2 continue their domination of GAF GOTY

Matt Attack · Jan 17, 2015

Wii U, dang. What a crazy year.

Tizoc said:

Yeah, I vastly prefer DR2, but the first is still pretty great. I'm just happy to see the series getting some love. <3

Altima · Jan 17, 2015

Shovel Knight at #9 and Destiny at #12

Seem like a good list to me.

I will buy WiiU next month good to know that top tier games are waiting for me there.

benny_a · Jan 17, 2015

Thanks to Cheesemeister and timetokill for organizing it yet again.

Also shout-out to my top 5 affinity peeps. You have been statistically determined to be cool:

Shining Sunshine
bananafactory
ElTorro
SuperSonic1305
Volimar

Eolz · Jan 17, 2015

Wow, awesome list and impressive stats!
Thanks for all the work!

Chris R · Jan 17, 2015

I guess my first post in the thread got deleted :\

Glad to see Danganronpa get some love. Shame Desert Golfing didn't though!

Don't worry. MGSV will break the tabu this year

Unison · Jan 17, 2015

Forgot to thank timetokill and Mr. Cheesemeister for their work!

Great job guys!

Vulcano's assistant · Jan 17, 2015

I thought you guys liked Infamous and disliked Destiny.

fantastic year, and a damn fine top ten.

Tookay · Jan 17, 2015

Well it's good to know that a lot of people agree that Nintendo killed it this year.

Anth0ny · Jan 17, 2015

Best new IP said:
1. Shovel Knight = 549 points, 14 honorable mentions
2. Destiny = 344 points, 21 honorable mentions

This is so great.

Chinner · Jan 17, 2015

shamefully this does cement this year as the return of sexism.

SatoAilDarko · Jan 17, 2015

I really didn't expect Nintendo to claim the top three spots. Then again it was a relatively weak year. Smash Wii U was my number 1 and Bayonetta 2 was right behind it. Mario Kart was in the middle for me.

Out of the game's at the top I didn't get to play Donkey Kong and South Park. As is Sunset Overdrive but I need to console. The same for Second Son and the new Dark Souls II version.

Congratulations really to all the games voted for because somebody enjoyed them and that itself is great.

def sim · Jan 17, 2015

While I didn't participate in this, it looks like the games I like are well represented. 2014 was pretty fun!

Bl@de · Jan 17, 2015

Tropical Freeze snubbed again

Just kidding. Great work and nice to see a lot of my list here. Except the obvious niche RPGs I play^^

Congrats to Banished for best simulation. Well deserved.

HiroTSK5 · Jan 17, 2015

Wow Neogaf is the best at awards. Yay Nintendo love.

Akibared · Jan 17, 2015

I'm very happy to see Danganronpa!

I voted for them both! And yeah, definitely a great year, especially for CRPGs.

Pappasman · Jan 17, 2015

Thats actually a really good list. Good job everyone!

Kurtofan · Jan 17, 2015

Really happy Donkey Kong Country TF is in the top ten!

Tizoc · Jan 17, 2015

cheezcake · Jan 17, 2015

DaS2 is a good #5. Divinity made a good ranking as well, Sunset Overdrive deserves to be higher though.

Also I still just do not understand the love for DA:I. Dialogue and story are so awkward and the combat is... Skyrim levels of bad.

Napalm_Frank · Jan 17, 2015

Now do a price drop for Wii U so I can actually play these games!

. Local supply of Wii U bundles are sadly pretty terrible and if available quite expensive.

2014 will probably be the best year of Wii U life so it's not gonna get much better time to get one.

Neiteio · Jan 17, 2015

Happy to see Alien: Isolation and The Evil Within in the Top 20.

sn00zer · Jan 17, 2015

So when are the Game of the Generation Awards?

Stratosphere · Jan 17, 2015

Well done to timetokill, Cheesemeister, and anyone else that worked to put this together. Great stuff!

Tookay · Jan 17, 2015

I'm guessing, based on that votes-over-time chart, that the surprise surge was Smash overtaking DA:I toward the end?

kinoki · Jan 17, 2015

Only two games from my top 10 in the top 20. Guess I'm not part of the GAF hive mind.

SargerusBR · Jan 17, 2015

Just noticed #8-#10 was a really close up match.

Haunted · Jan 17, 2015

Trust me said:
But with only 2 of my votes in the top 10, and only 9 in the top 20, maybe I really am far removed from Gaf regular...

Wait, "only 9"? That means basically your entire top 10 made the top 20! Your taste is as aligned with the GAF consensus as they come, son.

mugwhump · Jan 17, 2015

Hail to the queen, baby!

Expected DAI to be higher than #5 though.
