Five is stretching it TBH.
Interesting, didn't know this. I'd never do this as this game (and all others) would look real bad on a ps2. The aliasing was atrocious, even on a standard definition television.
LiS seems likely for top 5, yeah. It will probably be my #2 even though I wasn't nearly as taken with it as most. Though I didn't have as negative a feeling about the last episode either. Except
that stealth area. That was just horrible.

1. The Witcher 3
2. Grand Theft Auto V
3. Undertale
4. Lakeview Cabin Collection
5. Pathologic Classic HD
98. Hatred
99. Life is Strange
The hottest of lists, and not really accurate but with 5 entries I had to get 4 and 5 on there somehow because no one else will

You might as well write Hatred of Life is Strange. So subtly written was your list.

I wanted to be as subtle and clever as Life is Strange's writing.
So, not at all, considering the ending?
Guys

It's really good, especially for such a low price, and it has a great sense of humour and a neat artstyle and it also takes a couple of hours to finish. I recommend it to everyone but especially if you enjoyed Undertale. Get.on.this.train.
Bought. I rarely impulse-buy, but why not.

Sent my vote in. I moved some things around.
I hope it wins, since I know it's your favorite game ever.

I need to finish my Xcom EW campaign while the hype for Xcom 2 is high. Not that I'm buying Xcom 2 at launch, even though I would like to.
And for some reason I feel like I'm craving some Shadowrun: Dragonfall.
Darkest Dungeon is still good by the way, looking forward to full release.

To be fair I haven't played anything I hate in 2015! I'm not voting anyways so it doesn't really matter to the thing.

I should finish Hong Kong, got into a bad situation within the Matrix involving the new, god-awful stealth system so I never went back to it despite otherwise enjoying it.
PC really must not have any games if people are struggling to come up with 5 entries.
It's hella lame.

Quite happy it's only 5 actually, found it more difficult to stretch my choices to a top 10 for the other thread
1. Life is Strange
2. MGS V
3. Contradiction
4. The Beginner's Guide
5. Undertale
I'm currently playing Witcher 3 and it'd probably end up beng in there somewhere but I've not finished it yet

I still haven't forgotten you know...
Well, there's been a lot of long ass games this year that have mediocre (or flat out missing) final acts that people might take a while to get to.
MGSV
Fallout 4
LIfe is Strange (not a long game, but released over a long period of time)
Dying Light
Heck even games I really like like Divinity OS and Witcher 3 open strong and I wouldn't say end badly as much as don't reach the heights of say, the Bloody Baron arc.

Damn just leaving Undertale and the puzzle fishing game to their deaths. So sad.

I don't think I've actually played 5 games which were released in 2015/are eligible for the GOTY.
Jawmuncher

Considering some of the stuff that's gonna pop up on steam GOTY lists. MGSV should be the least of your worries.

I havent played Witcher 3 yet, but I agree. Undertale will probably end in 2nd though

I think a two stage vote where maybe the top 25 point getters are listed and then people vote for the would be interested and remove a lot of the wasted votes and result in some real campaigns, but that would also be a lot of extra work.
Oh yeah! Can't forget about Cat Goes Fishing. Though I dunno that if that's what you're referring to.
Let's put it this way, I've played enough of The Witcher III that it's in my top 3 regardless. Plus I'm on to Act II now! At this rate I should have it finished by... March... 2017

I haven't even started, not that I feel guilty, first I was waiting until bugs will be fixed, then I started some other game, then I had no PC for a while, the usual, so no The Witcher vote from me, although I probably would have voted for it if I played.

Oh, top 5 for SteamGAF GotY. Gonna have to think about what comes after Rocket League for 2-5. Hmm.

The GOTY this year was as I’ve said before quite hard, so many games that I wanted to have on the list but just had to cut. In the end I decided to have a list that I think were the games that were closest to my heart even if they didn’t fully live up to what I wanted. I decided to go after games that are the closest to the thing I want games to be. I think if you take all the games below and make one game from that, that would be my dream game.
1. Witcher 3
This spot was always set, even if I kind of didn’t want it to be Witcher 3 but that game just was the pinnacle of gaming in my eyes, sure not in every aspect but the overall experience. I remember several times while it thinking “this is the damn best game I’ve ever played!” and yet at the end after playing it a massive amount I wasn’t tired of the game and says A LOT.
2. Pillars of Eternity
This game… while playing it I was often frustrated with but also very much in love with. I was disappointed with everything it didn’t do yet surprised with everything it did do. It had great characters and great story bits but lacked in meaningful character interactions. There are so much to the game that’s just a blur that I can’t remember but still can’t shake that warm feeling.
3. Fallout 4
I had so damn high hopes for this game, I was so sure it would be my GOTY. While it does something that the other games on the list doesn’t and that is a sense of freedom and that is the most important part for me. The reason it fell down a few spots is because the story was outright awful and so much of the game mechanics were just not that good.
4. Grow Home
This game was on its way to be taken of the list but I just couldn’t let it go, the joy I felt while playing it is unmatched on this list, well unmatched throughout the year. It has so much heart and the freedom is there. It just lacks in content but that’s just fine.
5. Mad Max
The biggest surprise of the year without a doubt. I didn’t expect anything more than a by the numbers open world gaming going in but while it is very “checklist” open world it also one of the few open world games this year that felt immersive, in the sense that story was such a small part of it and just being the world was the main point of the game. That feeling of just driving around the desert. For this spot I was trying to decide between Batman Arkham Knight and AC Syndicate but Mad Max is just such well put together thing, that even parts that are bad still fit in the mould. It would probably been higher on the list if it wasn’t for those bad part, like no “restart race” on timed racing and such.
I have to mention Life is Strange and Tales from the Borderlands. While they didn’t make the list they were one of my favorite moments of the year. Also Rocket League, so damned good!
Also some games I didn't really play but should have: Undertale, MGSV, Contradiction, Her Story.

Speaking of Pillars of Eternity, I beat it earlier today. Yep, still awesome. Grabbed the expansion pass as well, gonna take a few days to play some other stuff before I start The White March.

Well I kind of expected the extra fidelity in the graphics department to be missing upon release of Watch Dogs as that's the sort of stuff Ubi pulls on a regular. What I didn't expect was the story and narrative hooks of a Kojima game to be as neutered and missing as they were in MGS5. Couple that with all the shit Konami pulled (especially stuff like FOB insurance) added in after the game as released as well as trying to not mention any of this until the game as even out really soured me on the game. Mechanically it's head and shoulders above anything else I played last year but that's only part of the draw MGS has for me and it's really lacking in those other areas.

So we're posting our lists now? Ok.
1) Witcher 3 - With it's non-binary story, gorgeous atmosphere, and an open world that puts all others to shame in terms of exploration, Witcher 3 is far and away the best game to come out this year, and one of my top RPG's ever.
2) Pillars of Eternity - RTWP is back with a vengeance thanks to Obsidian and KS, resurrecting the long-forgotten classic CRPG in glorious fashion.
3) Contradiction - Featuring best performance by stoned drug dealer and one of the top left field endings this year, Contradiction has it all.
4) Her Story - One of the shortest games this year, Her Story will have you talking about the ending for far longer.
5) Clicker Heroes - Because Bloodborne got robbed.

Wait, how long is this? I might be able to make time before I vote.
3-4 hours.
Not even 3 hours to complete. I beat it twice in ~6h so I could 100%.
My list is something like
Her Story
Ori
Undertale
LiS
... idk what I'll do for #5 yet. Hacknet? Mini Metro? Crypt of the Necrodancer? NOT A HERO? Arkham Knight (l o l).
