Thoughts? Was 2015 one of the best gaming years in a long time?

2015 was shit. I don't know why I shouldn't just kill myself

Witcher played like shit, Fallout 4 was the worst mainline Fallout by far, MGS an unfinished disappointment. Bloodborne was a playstation exclusive, but looked fun.

It was a shit year.

Yeah, definitely. We had the Witcher 3 and regardless of what anyone says, it was a fantastic game which deserved GOTY and all other awards.

2015 was by far one of the worst years I can remember for video games. 1-2 good games doesn't make up for how shit the rest of the year was.

>>322677729

Now that's interesting. Definitely an underrated game IMO.

Also Fallout 4 was complete shit, Bethesda bought every one of their positive reviews and awards.

>>322676926
I read somewhere that it had one of the highest number of 80+ average Metacritic score games come out since the site began operating.

Pretty good year.

>>322677589
Honestly after having played all four of them, Bloodborne is the only one that should even be considered for GOTY, and even then if we had some actual decent AAA shit this year it shouldn't have one.

Is it a surprise to anybody that TW3 won GOTY in 2015? The lineup against them was so fucking weak, it's a wonder they even held a VGA this year.

Honestly, if you look at the AAA market, it has been getting shittier and shittier almost every year. Rather than make good games which take time, money, and actual effort, they'd rather re-hash the same shit they've been feeding us because the hordes of retarded neets who can't think for themselves actually pay for this shit.

to be honest, these games are fun for about 2 hours, and then they get boring as fuck because I realize how poorly made and lacking in content they are

it was a good year only for witcherfags.
i had more fun with dmc4 se

>>322677059
Do it faggot.

>>322677245
Yes yes yes. Witcher 3 set the bar for storytelling and immersion in a game.

>>322677186
sure thing m8

>>322677909
Fallout was brilliant. I've put 80 hours into that game, making it my second most played of all time. Though the story wasn't as good as 3, the gameplay was the best in the series (no more relying on crappy VATS)

>>322678832
These games have tons of content, which in many ways is part of the problem. Who wants to play an 80 hour game where the game mechanics are stale after five hours?

>>322676926
I think you've been making this thread a little too often.

>>322678832

On the upside, it's 2016 now!

In 10 days we're getting a game that's better than anything released in 2015, and probably 2014.

>>322679084

Jesus fucking christ... what's the first? Minecraft? GTFO!

Also, the storyline for both FO3 and 4 were complete garbage.

>>322679275
I'm serious. Fallout 3 had great characters and story but meh fps mechanics. Fallout new vegas gave your character no backstory so why should you give a shit about this parcel you're supposed to deliver. Fallout 4 took the best of these 2 games and made it better.

>>322679318

It still counts as being a 2016 game on PC. And it's still better than anything released last year.

I'm actually hyped as fuck for it. I can't remember the last time I felt like this about a video game, it was that long ago.

>>322679632
You need to be more subtle. Some people fell for the first post, no one will fall for this one.

Pathologic got a good translation and Bloodborne came out, so it wasn't all bad.

What "great characters" did Fallout 3 have?

I genuinely can't even remember one and I finished the game.

Probably the worst year for Triple-A games in the last decade

everything else was alright

>>322681774
2014 was awful for AAA as well, maybe worse. Nothing but Alien Isolation and some Wii U games.

>>322680128
I actually thought the combat in 3 was somewhat bearable compared to the previous two. The out-of-combat movement was absolutely fucked to the point where I could just not get immersed in the game due to feeling like I wasn't in direct control, though.

>>322681568
Im downloading the witcher, but i want to keep the same sword all game for role playing purposes, How do I do this and what sword do i do this with?

>>322681874
2014 also had Wolfenstein and Attila, making the score 2014:3 2015: maybe 1

>>322681716
seriously, why the fuck do they even give you the options if all the fucking choices are the same?

>>322682294
Illusion of depth. Bethesda are masters at it, it's why their games are so successful. They are designed to be extremely shallow, enough that the average casual who started playing games with the Xbox360 can enjoy it, but at the same time the open world, "role-playing" and character customization makes casuals think these games are the deepest games ever.

>>322682294
Here you go.

>>322682294
To make Bethesda fans think there is some depth to the game. They are incredibly shallow, but market themselves as deep and complex to casual gamers who eat that shit up and think they're hardcore for playing Bethesda games.

>>322681716
There's no way that's real.

>>322683532
No, no, that's definitely real. I'm playing through right now and that's usually how these "Choices" go
>yes with a question
>enthusiastic yes
>reluctant yes
>yes.

>>322683532
Of course it's real. Those are the things your character can say in that situation.

Of course, the game doesn't present it that way. It hides it behind misleading two-word dialogue options. Often if one of the dialogue choices is sarcastic, it will just say [sarcastic]. That's it. Nothing more.

Fallout 5 will show nothing but tone. You'll be presented with four Vault boy faces each displaying a different facial expression, and your character will say something fitting that expression when you select it.

As much as the shitpost circlejerk that is neo /v/ would like to proclaim 2015 as the worst year in vidya history, it really was pretty fucking great.

It felt like the year that the current gen finally came into itself. Every generation takes a bit to ramp up, and 2015 was just that. Finally getting games like TW3 that are setting new standards.

Keeping with this, and looking at the upcoming releases for 2016, I cant imagine why anyone who isnt a disgruntled neckbeard wouldnt be happy with the current gen.

You can say there was a lot of shit as much as you want, but every single gen has had tons of shit. Nostalgia is a hell of a thing.

The closest thing to a great AAA game this year is Bloodborne, a quality game yet a tired rehash. All but the most Souls-obsessed fanboys are tired of these games.

Witcher 3 didn't set any standards except for perhaps writing in open world RPGs. Their only competition is Bethesda, so they won by default.

>>322684345
They basically set every bar but combat for open world RPGs

>>322684298
Oh fuck off. I dont need to compose an entire list just to make a simple point, retard

"Open world RPG" is a vastly populated genre anon. RPGs kind of desire a large world to interact with. Bethesda is just the developer most visible to normalfags.

>>322684869
Name some open-world RPGs other than Bethesda games. I'm obviously not talking about games released a decade ago, as your "bar-setting" comment is irrelevant when you have to go back that far. It's not hard to raise the bar on decade old games.

>>322684982
Here's a challenge. Name some recent RPGs that aren't open world.

No, they have not. The vast majority of WRPGs are not open world.

>>322686181
Every CRPG in the last three years was open world
Every WRPG was open world
Most every JRPG was at least partially open world
Even south park fucking stick of truth operated on open world principles.

>>322686393
You do not know what open world means.

>>322686293
It was the least shit game of a fucking terrible year. It was an above average shiny bauble in a year where the most gleam you got was off of the still moist shits.

>>322686492
No, you don't. Open world doesn't have some minimum map size requirement you know.

>>322686546
Don't be ridiculous. There were good games like Metal Gear Rising in 2013.

>>322686660
It's not a matter of size. Let me guess, you think JRPGs with overworlds like FFVII are open world?

>>322686775
Last three years man. Read a little more. Also, depending on how much you can travel the overworld map regardless of your progress, it could still be argued to operate on open world principles.

>>322686546
Bioshock Infinite was less shit than TLOU.


If TLOU was a movie it would would have been the most by the numbers oscar-bait ever.
But because it's a game it's the "Citizen Kane of gaming".

At the very fucking least, Bioshock Infinite was way more creative, and was not ashamed of being a fucking video-game

>>322687050
Overworld's are the antithesis of open world. Rather than have you trek through emptiness they simulate the emptiness, making each relevant area its own level accessed from but disconnected from the overworld.

As for CRPGs in the last three years, there are plenty like Pillars of Eternity, Divinity, so many that aren't open world but instead use the old hub system most WRPGs use.

TLOU "game parts" were just there so they could link one cutscene to the next.

Also, BI's story could pass for pretentious, not the kind of thing made to gain awards, it's made for the creator's ego.
TLOU's story was so manipulative it was disgusting. THAT is the kind of shit made to gain awards.

No, it was shit just like the last 8 years.

I won't say that i'm not glad that W3 won so many awards. It has some good dialogues, characters and side quests and overall deserves this reward way more than DAI deserved it a year ago. But at the same time i dread to think that it will create some sort of a trend for future RPGs because W3 is fucking horrible in pretty much all gameplay aspects.

Bloodborne, a simple action rpg, has way deeper character customization, stat system and build variety than a so called "rpg of the year". I won't even compare it to actually good rpgs of 2015 like Underrail or AoD. Holy shit CDPR really needs to pay at least some attention to the actual fucking gameplay.

>>322690759

Even unbalanced, horribly broken gameplay mess of Baldur's Gate 2 was fun in its own unique way thanks to how many fun shit you could do with spell effects and unique weapons. W3 is not just bad in gameplay aspects, it's fucking boring which is even more horrifying for a game reaching 100+ hours length.

They were interesting in W1 because they required a real prep time and monsters felt legit horrifying. In W3 even on death march the same feeling of danger is barely present.

Maybe some people happen to like area backstory and a bit of mystery.

>>322691896
W1 and W2 were both terrible games

>>322692051
W1 actually had a good perk system with lots of shit to consider. Also with some actual alchemical tinkering where you could create stronger non-standard potions by accident.

W2 was a fucking garbage for the most part though.

RPG has never had an absolute set definition, and it's name is a nebulous term that simply comes from Dungeons and Dragons, which could have predesigned characters. If you define RPG as roleplaying then every game is an RPG.

Western computer RPGs actually have pretty well-defined list of features that were present in them for many years and character generation, build creation and actual stat or class system are mandatory for them. W3 lacks most of them while actual RPGs with characters who have more or less predefined background like Shadowrun reboots still keep most of them.

There's almost no good rpgs without a character generation or initial customization of any kind. Even fucking Nox, a game with pre-set protagonist, forced you to chose a hard-locked class which defined your entire playstyle and even story. Geralt's customization is pathetic as well as any "build" variety if i can even call W3's pathetic perk system so.

>I don't like these games that don't have this thing so they must have that thing to be good

And it comes down to subjectivity at last.

Leave this site, degenerate.

>>322694623
Most RPGs with a customizable main character are absolutely shit because you can't make the story about just one person, you have to make it about an unknown which means nothing actually significant can happen involving the life of your character.

is TW3 the Godfather II of video games?

>>322696642
It means the player character is the blandest thing in the entire story at best. Which is bad.

>>322690759
It's hilarious how ASSMAD you Bloodborne faggots are. You criticize a game for having shallow characters and stats when you like fucking Bloodborne. Your entire game is literally Dark Souls with a horror skin. There is nothing deep about it.

I have no beef with Witcher 3 being the top choice, but how the fuck is MGS V and Fallout 4 above Bloodborne?

Is there any reason other than it being a PS4 exclusive, which made it a more niche release?

>>322697316
The only hilarious thing is that you think that i'm a "bloodborne fag" when my post also mentions underrail and aod. Keep being ass shattered for no reason, preferably with your mouth shut if you don't have anything constructive to say.

>>322697613
It's just that most reviewers are casuals who suck shit at games and Bloodborne isn't for casuals

It doesn't mean shit. If authors actually took their time writing dialogues the game will be fun even if MC is tabula rasa.

mgs5, regardless of all the memes about it, had stellar gameplay
a single cut mission, vehicle, and a few strictly visual helicopters flying around motherbase do not detract from it's quality in the slightest
it also has decent online compared to most modern cookie cutter multiplayer shooters

bloodborne was more of the same grimdark puzzle story (with some ayylmao thrown in) with repetitive and nonchallenging bosses and no sense of item progression at all, only thing stellar was the music

fallout 4 was ok for what it truly is, which doesn't make it shit

Noice.

To me this shows just how far gone the gaming media is.

Let's be real here. W3 is interactive storytelling, not a game. The combat (the GAME part) is fucking atrocious shit.

>>322700752
>gameplay = combat

You're everything wrong with modern gaming. Sashimi yourself.

>>322700752
just because the gameplay is bad doesn't mean there isn't any gameplay. what a fucking stupid comment.

>>322676926
No. Fallout is trash. Witcher and MGS are overrated.

>>322700752
Name me one open game that isn't Dark Souls that has better combat.

>>322678070
To be fair scores are constanyl being inflated.

>>322702081
this. It would be interesting to see a graph of the average scores over the years. My guess is that it's a straight incline.

Still, there were some gems this year.
