DEADLINE GONE. RESULTS ARE IN.

I'm happy to take updated votes as and when people play more games. I'll update the list and points but not analysis.

Rules same as my usual stance on these things, see below.

Rules/Guidelines/Instructions

1. List your Top 5 games of the calendar year 2015. Include a little text to explain why you've voted for a game, if you want.

2. Less than 5 games listed will be taken as a Top 4, 3 or whatever.

3. More than 5, and I'll take the first/top 5 only.

4. If not numbered, I'll take the list as ordered in the post in descending order (i.e. goty at top, then 2 etc).

5. Posts that say "in no order" will be ignored - there needs to be an order for pointage! (See below)

6. Points allocated as follows: 10, 7, 4, 2, 1.

7. Game needs to have been released in calendar year 2015.

8. HD remakes or updates of games from a previous year don't count.

9. Only games released in UK allowed, unless it was region free.

10. Use following as a broad guideline if you want: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_in_video_gaming

Yossarian

Yoss's alternative vote of the year.

Here you can vote for whichever games you've enjoyed most this year, regardless of release date.

Voters so far: myself and Workid.

Games so far

1. Destiny, Civ IV

TheDJR

Destiny doesn't count. I know, I know, I want to put it in too. What year does Life is Strange count as?

DAMMIT I dunno, was it all this year or some of it last year? I havent even played it yet.

If its an episodic game, maybe the year the last episode is out?! So 2015?

tigersgogrrr

1) Life is Strange

Nothing else matters.

TheDJR

Yeah I'd rather it was when the last episode us out rather than the first which makes LiS, Game of Thrones and Tales from the Borderlands all this year.

equinox_code

1. The Order 1886
2. Half Life 2
3. Liverpool vs West Ham

TheDJR

I've only played the demo and I'm already sure it'll make my top 5. I knows what I likes and I likes that.

hylian_elf

Right that needs to go on my list to play before year is over. Maybe a Xmas jobbie like Walking Dead was a few years back.

TheDJR

If it makes me cry it's going in my top three.

hylian_elf

According to Wiki list, Ep 1 was Jan 2015 anyway.

Feel free to write a separate list for me with the games you've enjoyed the most this year regardless of release date. I'll count them all up in my post above.

TheDJR

Infact I'm pretty certain of my top 5 already, just need to decide the order. Anyone wanna take a guess?

Yossarian

On where you're going to rank The Order?

Moot_Geeza

Can I have an official ruling on Captain Toad please elf, think the 2014 thing might have been a broken street date thing, but not sure.

tigersgogrrr

Destiny can get tae fuck.

And I like Destiny.

Life is Strange is the best. I dare say I'll get a lot of life out of Blood Bowl 2 as well. Just hope we can get a few more players involved. A proper league would be amazing.

1) Life is Strange
2) Life is Strange
3) Life is Strange
4) Life is Strange
5) Blood Bowl 2

Released in 2014, no? Officially.

Does it matter though? I mean, it was a bit meh.

[Deleted User]

I think Destiny should be allowed if you're still actively playing it.

WorKid

I haven't played Placeholder yet but sounds good.

SMM probably wins though.

WorKid

Also Civ IV because I've been rocking that lately.

So, I'm fully aware that you aren't counting Civ IV, Elf, that's up to you. But me and Yoss play by our own rules.

I'm not sure who's the billy goat and who's the troll here.

Either way, Toad was magic.

hylian_elf

Civ IV not being a new release in 2015 isn't up to me.

WorKid

Civ IV 2.0 then.

hylian_elf

There's a new Civ isn't there? Beyond Earth. Didn't know that.

WorKid

That belongs in the other thread.

Moot_Geeza

Trackmania Turbo is released in November so I can't vote properly yet anyway, plus I'm holding off on Mario Maker until the busy bees have made loads of good levels I can find via internet lists. Also haven't played Affordable Space Adventures, Trifoce Heroes or The Order yet, plus a couple of others.

Placeholder list is

1. OlliOlli 2 (Vita)
2. Rocket League (PS4)
3. Gunman Clive 2 (3DS)
4. Batman: Arkham Knight (PS4)
5. Bike Rider DX2 (3DS)

hylian_elf

I like Olli Olli 2, still need to unlock all the levels. Much more immediate and fun compared to the likes of Trials.

Howdy, Stranger!
