96. Mario Golf: World Tour
7. Wolfenstein: The New Order
196. Yumi's Odd Odyssey
44. Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call

Thanks, each year we strive to make this better and get the thread up sooner. We accomplished both, but we've got a ways to go yet. This year I focused a lot on the presentation of the list since more data automation freed up some time.
Glad you guys are liking the thread.
Damn, was not expecting Nintendo to do do well. Have to admit that I'm thinking its wii u owners coming out in full force.
Still I agree with MK 8,and woke I would have liked to see Dark Souls 2 higher, 5th place isn't bad.
I'll have to pick up Bayo 2 sometime...
Edit.
Thanks to OP for doing this. Very cool.

timetokill and Cheesemeister. I asked you yesterday when the results show up and timetokill you said "in the weekend". I didn't even expect it to be THIS fast. Wow well done guys, and thank you for doing this
I didn't want to overpromise. We're working to get the turnaround times down as much as possible. And you're welcome!
You guys should help Shinobi out. I think he said counts them by hand?!
Some good people on that list
And I'm actually on two people's affinity lists! My tastes are definitely getting more mainstream.
I appeared on 31 lists D:

I actually counted the GOTYs by hand for a couple years before Cheesemeister

Dragon Age had a really good start, rivaling Bayonetta even. Time didn't work for it. It might have dropped out of the top 5 if voting had continued longer. It didn't had the continued strength of Dark Souls 2 and the rest of the top 10 behind it.

Thanks for the hard work guys. So much interesting data.
Looking at that first graph in the trends section made me realize that 3 out of the last 6 went to sony first party games.
Incredible year for Nintendo.

Wow, Nintendo taking the top 3. Well deserved! I wasn't really feeling it this year when it comes to mainstream AAA fair, so Nintendo and Indies really saved the year for me! Let's hope that 2015 is as kick ass as it looks for all the platforms!
Also, here's my affinity list. I gotta check out these games!

Some pretty boring/obvious winners, but great showing from Nintendo (deserved top spot for MK8 but I would have placed bayonetta 2 lower it does nothing at all for me).
DA Inquisition was a surprise to me. Wolfenstein TNO getting credit it deserves and glad to see Mordor getting credit for actually trying something new in terms of gameplay systems instead of just refining currently existing systems.

Happened already.
He took that better than I hoped
Comparing my ballot to the overall picks, I wasn't far off. Without the split, the Danganronpa games could have pulled 11th spot which is crazy. Only real outside picks were SMT IV (wrong year) and The Banner Saga which didn't get a console release.
1. Bayonetta [1]
2. Alien: Isolation [11]
3. Wolfenstein: The New Order [7]
4. Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair [24]
5. Shin Megami Tensei IV [91]
6. Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze [6]
7. The Banner Saga [37]
8. Shovel Knight [10]
9. Mario Kart 8 [2]
10. Destiny [12]

Bayonetta 2 is a worthy GOTY. Good to see it won, even if I haven't played it (yet, I'll get a Wii U for cheap one day and play it).
I didn't expect to see many of my picks make the top 20, so I'm happy to see Danganronpa and Transistor appear. 2014 was a really disappointing year for me but 2015 is looking like it'll easily blow it away.

Here's a post to acknowledge some posters which I apparently have a great affinity with
The best affinity I had with another user was 84.
Affinity chart said:
Really interesting to see that there's a lot of different affinity. Call out to archnemesis but I haven't played half the games on that list so I'm guessing those would be my recommendations. I don't however agree that Civilization: Beyond Earth is a good game. It's a mediocre game with a broken theme.
Out of the Top 10 games the charts recommend me I've played The Last of Us (really good but I didn't care to add it to this years voting), Dragon Age Inquisition (deeply flawed game but still entertaining when I squint with my brain), Infamous Second Son (just snubbed from my Top 10), and Tomb Raider (which I liked).
Top 10 recommendations for me said:
So perhaps it's time to go play Alien Isolation and Dark Souls II.

Out of curiosity what kind of crawler you guys use for counting the results? Python I assume?

Okay, I'm gonna post these.
Done.
Done.
Probably because of how long the game is. Took a long time for the flaws to sink in, and for people to realise 'hey, this game isn't getting any better' as they went through the bloated content. Does not deserve to be in the top 5 IMO, especially not above Divinity.
I think they are exclusive awards and FH2 is listed as 360 and XB1.
Thank you PlatinumGames for making the best sequel to one of the best games I've ever played.
Thank you Nintendo for having the courage, love, and taking the risk to bring us this game from certain death.
And thank you GAF for showing that you can have good tastes in games once in a while. ;p
And lastly, thanks to the GAFfers who made the awards possible. <3
