To me? Being able to build a character and create a build, you know stuff have have actual importance on gameplay. (The most important part in DnD as well I think).

So Trails in the Sky FC for the PSP won game of the year for the Vita huh? (That's a pretty bad flub)
Even SC isn't eligible as it is a PSP game as well but, okay. I am glad it's getting some recognition but, it's a little odd.
I know the Vita can play it due to the space it occupies but, eh I guess I am arguing semantics.

I beg to differ... let's look at the supposed votes for FC and qualify whether they are actually votes for FC or not.
Arthea's actual vote...
boingball's actual vote...
Famassu's actual vote...
And so on and so forth. These are all intended votes for SC... NOT FC.

I like that it wasn't DS3 myself, we'll have that this year.
And in terms of combat, lore and presentation it's Miyazaki's best imo.
That said, can't wait for DS3 and the inevitable BB2.
MCC really ruined any reputation the series had left. It's a shame because Halo 5 has foundation to be something great.

Great work!
Very happy about the increased number of voters this year.
Don't care much for the first two games (MGSV should have come out 2014 to wipe the floor with Bayonetta
), but I'm still glad BB won over W3.

The only GOTY list that matters... I didn't even vote, glad BB won though. Definitely my GOTY.

Well deserved praise to everyone who put in all the hard work to create this list and data. Also pretty cool to see my comment made it in for Fallout 4.
My personal GOTY was #14 but I'm still please either way.

I can't see any Nintendo game getting 2,000 points, especially on such an unpopular console. They are only so many Nintendo fans on GAF that even the best-recieved games top out around 1,100 points.
Zelda might not even be top 5(UC4, Mass Effect, Persona, Dark Souls, Deus Ex)

Damn halo not winning just shows how good tomb raider was apparently(haven't played it yet) and how far halo has fallen.
Was there a Bloodborne / Witcher Turf War I missed? While Bloodborne is one of my all-time favorites, the PS4 is the most disappointing console I've owned while I thought The Witcher III was unplayable, so I didn't really have a horse in that race emotionally (re: SonyGAF v The World). Feel as if I missed some voting thread dramas...
Don't blame the year, blame the voters.
now I recognize you. don't ever change your Dexter avatar lol
I think that may have been due to it's genre not being everyone's things, plus it's also really short, and also came out on Steam in 2014 and was included in quite a bit of bundles since then. Though the game is amazing and super fun. Love the effects and wish more people would give this game a chance, on both PS4 and Steam.

don't worry the NX version will make it more popular
That's not exactly how Bayo 2 made it as GotY 2014 though :V

Thanks for the effort to those involved.
Good to see Bloodborne on the top. Well deserved. There's nothing else, that I voted for in the top 10 though.
I wonder why the overall rankings, that should include all the titles that received at least 2 points, exclude The Vanishing of Ethan Carter and Resident Evil HD, which got 3 and 2 points from me?
After all...

Seems highly likely that SC should be ranked in the low 30s (around Hotline Miami 2) instead of in 48th place.
I would also argue that the Vita exclusive of the year should be redacted to Persona 4: Dancing All Night. The Trails games are on Steam.
Evolution's release shouldn't fudge that category. That's not what we were voting for.

I like this list, though I'd personally place Tales From The Borderlands higher than Life is Strange. But whatever, it's not a big deal. My panties remain knotless.
The real fucked up part has nothing to do with the voting but the fact that so many people on and off Neogaf were disappointed with Fallout 4 and Arkham Knight. In an ideal world those games would have been amazing. They could have been.

To be fair, if we're counting the Evolution versions, and this is really not a dig at you guys, Second Chapter also released on Vita in 2015: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Legend_of_Heroes:_Trails_in_the_Sky_Second_Chapter
If anything, it's a testament to how messy things can get between the naming of the games and games releasing late in the West while their remakes release in Japan.
Because it came out on PC last year I don't think it was included. Same for Shovel Knight, it's high on the handheld list but not on the full list because it came out last year on most platforms.
Edit: I should say I'm not totally sure, just guessing.
i FORGOT THE /S LOL

It's not like CDPR with nine times more GotY awards then From Software will miss one more and BB definitely deserves all accolades. It's more disheartening to see Fallout 4 having twice as many as BB to be honest.

As the point totals indicate, they are by far the most widely beloved games on GAF in 2015. Witcher 3 has completely dominated the critics choice for GOTY, which led to the "Bloodborne was robbed!" meme, so of course this result would be contested.

The appeal of the Souls games comes from how different they are from anything else. I guess this is the type of games that will never be properly streamlined to have the wide appeal that other games have like Fallou 4 or The Witcher 3. And this "flaw" (to most of us it isn't a flaw but something that distinguish the game from the rest) is why Bloodborne (and the Souls series in general) doesn't win many "GOTY" outside of the most core/niche site or audiences.
