Everyone has an affinity list, but I suppose someone could possibly not be on anyone else's list.

ALL HAIL THE OLD BLOOD!
Bloodborne is far and away the best game of the year and proof that not everyone forgets about games released earlier in the year.
kudos to FromSoft for crafting a masterpiece!

I'm in your list~

I'm honored to have someone named "lordfuzzybutt" in my ranks. The name actually reminded me of a funny story in Undertale. Some of y'all out there know the one.
So my affinity list is just anyone that has both Bloodborne & MGS5 on their list, nobody comes close to my list.
My list is probably too weird to have anyone that is close to being similar, it has a hardcore game (Bloodborne), a game GAFers despise (MGS), a dudebro shooter (CoD), an interactive movie (Until Dawn) & mobile casual crap (Marvel Future Fight).
At least I'm unique?

Yup that's me haha.
Happy to see RotR and MH4U higher up.
E: Wow, this data thing is pretty cool!
40% Multi, 40% Nintendo, 20% PC for me.

The thing with MGSV is that it disappointed to the extent that many people, myself included,, expected it to come out and instantly be one of the greatest games of all time. Instead it came with a few glaring issues but still an overall fantastic game. So as much as I and many others might "bash" it, we probably still consider it one of the best games of the year. I think I put it #3. Before it came out I expected it to unseat MGS3 as my number one game of all time. In reality it probably just slips into the top 20.
It's crazy how well I sync'd up to GAF this year. My list with Gaf's final number for each game next to it. (The first four are identical, which is amazing to me.)
Me / GAF/ Game Name
1. (1) Bloodborne
2. (2) The Witcher 3
3. (3) MGS V
4. (4) Rocket League
5. (32) Dark Souls II: SotFS
6. (33) Mortal Kombat X
7. (11) Xenoblade Chronicles X
8. (7) Fallout 4
9. (10) Mario Maker
10. (115) Driveclub Bikes
So basically my top 4 were identical, 7 of my top 10 synced up with Gaf's almost perfectly, and I had only one game out of the top 100.

Yep, just noting I only show up in one other person's list.
I saw Clive's post early on and I figured he'd e be the highest affinity. Not many ballots have Oreshika, Brandish, and Summon Night 5.
Really happy to see Talos get puzzle game of the year and Ori make it onto there as well even though it was only an honorable mention of mine.
I genuinely thought Witcher 3 was going to win 1st place, it being multiplatform would push it over the edge but nope! I didn't expect LiS to be up there so far either.

I didn't even realize that all the games I put on my list were RPGs.

I'm pleasantly surprised Bloodborne got the top spot! Great list overall

Good work op. Glad to see trails in the sky and oreshika get some recognition. Looking that the list makes me appreciate how good 2015 actually was.

Huh. My affinity list is certainly interesting.
Kinda funny to see so many users with Fallout 4 in their rankings when that isn't even close to my opinion of the game.

Man thought I had the highest affinity score at 152 on my list.

What I meant was if someone told you this list a year ago, not if they came out last year.
I don't think I ever had a miscommunication like that on GAF, lol, I'm out.

Bloodborne, MGSV and Witcher 3 are all great games and it's well deserved. Bit silly that some people are annoyed that their favourite game did not win or isn't higher on the list.
I was personally completely blown away by Life is Strange and I'm really glad it made the top ten

Thanks, that's basically what I'm doing for all my gaming purchases. I suppose it helps to have all of GAF help populate it in your case. I'm going to copy the data you have for now
I find myself dreaming of a complete database across all generations with tons of info for every entry down to stuff like composers, directors, etc. out there for everyone to use. I guess I'm just spoiled from having all those huge databases at work but I could use such a thing to reach some cool realizations I wager.

I wonder how rocket league would have done if it wasn't a ps plus title?
Would likely be written off as another indie game, like it's predocessor was.

I was searching through my affinity list thinking that it'd have at least some Way of the Samurai 4 or D4 mentions but nope

Surprised that Her Story is as low as it is. I haven't played it myself but it seemed to be in a lot of people's lists.
S'up, peeps. Stay cool.

It could have been lost under the massive weekly pile of indies we get. But who cares? That was the genius of the PS+ decision.

I had four of your choices on my ballot, but I suppose our affinity ranking wasn't high enough. Several other users had stronger ballot similarities.
CecilRousso

Might be so, but it was listed a valid entry in the docs before.
I made a quick count made in the txt file, and got 41 point for Broken Age: The Complete Adventure, so it wouldn't have made any difference in the specific list, so it's only in the overall list it's missing.
Free games get better traction amidst the casual audience more than paid for games.
But, who cares? The PS+ inclusion , while double edged in concept, was good

Bloodborne wasn't robbed ^.^ Also wow at Until Dawn at number 9 and Life is Strange at number 5, I'm impressed.
Good job with this guys, appreciate the work you put into it.

Same!
Thanks for reviewing it timetokill, and thanks to you and Cheesemeister for putting so much work in.
I'm pleasantly surpised that 15 other people voted for it, and not at all surprised to see it on the high quality list with a lot of the big hitters.
