Battlefront also has third person. It's what I use all the time when I play.
You all have impeccable taste.

Star Wars Battlefront is not a first person shooter as you can freely play in first person or third person.

Thank you cheese and timetokill. I love these threads and we are all very appreciative of the significant work and time it must take.
This is awesome, thanks for sharing. If you come up with more I'd be keenly interested in seeing it!
That doesn't sound like a super useful metric to divide games between genres for the purpose of ranking them though. They play the same way, but are presented slightly differently. Why would that alone justify segmenting them out into a category where games which play completely differently (twin stick shooters and shmups for example) are also included?

The people that took the time out to play TitS SC clearly loved it more than just about any game that came out last year save for the Big 2 (Bloodborne and Witcher 3).
Problem is... lack of exposure. And that's largely dependent on word of mouth.
I didn't even vote for it despite making that game's OT.God damn at Corpse Party: Blood Drive. I voted it for 4th so possibly only one other voted for it. Whats wrong with yall?
Did give it some Honorable Mention love... so there's that.

Correct me if im wrong but this is the first year MGS didn't win Gaf's GOTY right? Deserved.
Also didn't expect Halo 5 to be so low, it seemed to be well received here.

Just think of it being like The Martian being classified as a comedy.
I know that doesn't help.
Yeah, the shooter category looks to be a collection of very different games, but I was only answering the question of why it's not (strictly) a first person shooter.

The perfect list, Bloodborne didn't get robbed and while my GOTY Witcher 3 is 2nd place it's still surprisingly close for a console-centric forum like GAF considering it has had it's fair share of problems on consoles. It's cool to see both Ori and Tomb Raider so high too, shows that GAF isn't quite as Sony-centric as some people claims.

5. Transformers: Devastation = 129 points, 12 honorable mentions
6. Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition = 45 points, 5 honorable mentions
I get that a lot of people didn't vote for re-releases of old games, but still. Transformers is barely decent.

What an amazing top 10
Indeed, I put it as my GOTY, it was just so good. At least XSEED seems keen on localising the entire series, even if it isn't in order.

Man, my list does not jive with GAF's list in the slightest. And here I thought my list was pretty cookie cutter.
2 of my top 10 were in GAF's top 10 (Witcher 3, Fallout 4), and only 4 were in GAF's top 20 (Tales from the Borderlands, Rise of the Tomb Raider). I only have a PC so I couldn't play any of the PS4 or Wii U games on that list.

Transformers Devastation is ten times the game Devil May Cry 4 is. Sorry bro, accept the truth.

So it's a first person shooter with a third person mode.
Thanks! Out of curiosity how many affinity lists did I appear on?

What really makes me sad is that SteamWorld Heist didn't get any real recognition. Seriously, go buy SteamWorld Heist, 3DS owners! It's really, REALLY good.

I'm starting to thing it was a mod-exclusive title. No regular members allowed!

Can't. It's region-locked.

I really wish I could enjoy games like bloodborne but that type of difficulty just isn't for me. Glad so many people here are enjoying it though. I'll probably check out the witcher 3 soon when I have the money. Only games I played this year that are on the top 10 are Splatoon, Mario Maker, and Rocket League. I wish splatoon was a little higher up, its (in my opinion) the best shooter this decade. So many fresh and new ideas injected into a (to me) stagnant genre. Haven't enjoyed a shooter this much since Halo 3. (That was my first in depth experience in the genre)

God damn at Corpse Party: Blood Drive. I voted it for 4th so possibly only one other voted for it. Whats wrong with yall?
I voted for it as a space filler because this year was so bad. It doesn't hold a candle to OG Corpse Party.

Rise of the Tomb Raider should literally be at least ten spots higher. If not 11, because Life Is Strange really shouldn't have cracked top five.
Whatever, GAF gonna GAF.

Really surprised Life is Strange is up that high. Beat episode 2 yesterday and I'm still pretty tepid on it, but this encourages me to keep going.
Just one - sphinx.

Are Bloodborne and Rocket League really new IPs though? I could see Bloodborne getting a pass because setting and weapons changes, but Rocket League was basically just a name change.

I debated for a long while whether to play bloodborne or not, as I don't really like difficult games. Most I play on easy. The hardest part of Bloodborne for me was the initial hump. After killing the first boss (which was super satisfying) and opening up a couple shortcuts everything became a lot more manageable. Just something to think about.

I'm just glad Tales from the Borderlands even made it up there. I'm also glad the Witcher 3 comments some were making on GAF didn't prevent it from ranking #2.
I'm hoping people use this chance to give a try to tales from the borderlands. It really is a fantastic game.

Definately weird it's not listed considering after a fast check it should be over 2 points.

I'm surprised some people are disappointed in 2015. From what I've been hearing there's so many good games that came out last year, and after listening to the giant bomb GOTY podcast it was interesting seeing them having such a hard time deciding on a top 10 since they didn't want to cut out so many good games. Different strokes for different folks I guess. I know its gonna be a while before I can play all the 2015 games I was interested in.
