This is why I've been a long time watcher. You always seem to have such a great background on why you chose what you consider as the best, and you give it alot of personality instead of making it feel so "We're writing it in the way we were told to do". I wish you a Happy New Year Clint!
_A few more games of note:_ *Just Cause 3:* It's more of the same with lots of improvements, and that's great! But like the previous games, it's only something I pick up to play for a few minutes at a time until I've had my fill. *Super Mario Maker:* Incredibly easy to use editor that's fun to play with, and I love that it exists, but it didn't stand out very much to me otherwise. *Transformers: Devastation:* Now this is a great G1 Transformers game, no doubt. But I'm not hugely into spectacle fighters so I lost interest before long. *ARK: Survival Evolved:* This _absolutely_ would've been on my list, but it's still in early access. Next to Fallout 4, it's the game I spent the most time with this year! *Carmageddon: Reincarnation:* Lots of fun when it works well, but uh, it doesn't work very well. It has improved with patches but it's still not 100%. *Star Wars Battlefront:* Gorgeous game that plays rather well but is severely lacking depth. Shame. *Arkham Knight:* PC version was garbage. *Soma, Read Only Memories, Life Is Strange, Metal Gear Solid V, Pillars of Eternity:* Haven't played yet but plan to.
I really like the way you put the characteristics of every game you review, Clint. And finally a list that's not only about Blockbusters. Excellent job as usual, and certainly worth a try on every game you talked about. Happy New Year!
Glad Cities: Skylines made the list. The game was a major success on so many levels, from the big release to the developer's taking community feedback into consideration. It just also has a lot of a crossover appeal and is a game that people who aren't really "gamers" can find themselves spending a lot of time with.
I just want to say I love that you mentioned two games that I've played and loved (Until Dawn & Dying Light) and two games I own and just haven't gotten to yet (Splatoon & Witcher 3) so I'm really looking forward to those more now. also want to say I love your channel, especially your sims reviews (that's what drew me in)
Thanks for another great year of content Clint! I've subbed to many channels over the years but yours is one of the very very few that I always check out several times a week. You've found an amazing niche and you seem like a really cool guy. Best of luck in 2016 and beyond!
A good list overall Clint, for me as much as I'm currently savoring "Fallout 4", I found "Mad Max" to be the real surprise this year & was my GOTY easily. I have over 200 hours in it & still haven't completed it yet, I think it was the sleeper of 2015.
Some cool unexpected stuff here! Yuakuza 5 was a nice surprise. I've recently been getting in to these games and actually just finished 4 yesterday. I'm really eager to get on to 5, but it's pretty expensive. £33 on the UK PSN store! But I'm really glad to see the series getting some recognition of late. Splatoon is really cool to see too. That's easily my favourite game of the year. It's just so fun and inventive. Forza 6 was a surprise as well. There's no better way to put it than it being what Forza 5 should have been. But while it's a great game, I think saying it's what 5 should have been is kind of damning with faint praise. It means 6 is basically on par with what was expected two years ago. While it's a big step up from what 5 was, 5 was such a big step down that I don't feel like 6 is really hugely impressive. 4 is still the pinnacle for me.
Yakuza 5 is worth that. There is around 200 hours of content if you going for the plat - at least 60 hours of you rush through just the story and ignore most the side missions. I'm on it now, playing virtua fighter 2 in the sega arcade!
+Scrustle I finished Yakuza 5 just yesterday, and it's my favorite now of the Yakuza games I've played (3, 4 and Dead Souls). It's easily one of my favorite games of 2015. I thought with the increased scope the game would suffer somehow compared to the other entries, but it didn't really. There's one bit in a forest village that's a bit slow and plodding. But that's about it. The rest, like 95% of the game, is very high quality. It's packed with lovable characters and tons of variation to keep things interesting all the way through. If you liked 4, then absolutely get 5 when you can.
+Peter Hasselström You also ought to play 1 and 2. Yeah, they are graphically outdated, but as Yakuza is story driven, that really doesn't matter, as the stories itself (especially the first) are top notch. And they are not cut, unlike part part 3 that got terribly crippled, when Sega decided to remove 30% of the content to make it more accessible to gaijins.
***** The problem were not the people buying Yakuza, the problem were the large number of people NOT buying Yakuza. "If it doesn't work, change it" is not that illogical. If crippling the product by withholding significant parts of the content (as with part 3) is a wise change is another thing. Maybe changing names from "Kyriu Kazuma" to "Ben Smith" and "Yakuza" to "Street Thugs" and substituting "yen" for "dollar" might be all that would have been needed, who knows ?
Thanks for the list, and for reminding me Yakuza 5 exists. I've never played anything in the series before, but AssCreed 3 showed me I really enjoy certain kinds of open-world stuff, so I'll probably check Y5 out at some point.
Excited for that Yakuza 5 actually! Gotta go find it, though I really wish we could have gotten the Period-styled Yakuza games as well, "Ryuu ga Gotoku Kenzan!" and "Ryuu ga Gotoku Ishin!". Also, Dropsy reminds me A LOT of Natsume's "Chuu-lip" game on the PS2, where you are a Post-man on a kissing-quest to kiss nearly everyone (though, it's for the love of a girl!). Awesome list, already added a few suggestions, since they are relevant to my interests. Muwhaha.
My top 10 list: 10. Hard West 9. Rainbow Six: Siege 8. Ori and the Blind Forest 7. Warhammer: The End Times - Vermintide 6. The Age of Decadence 5. Just Cause 3 4. Undertale 3. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain 2. The Witcher 3 1. Pillars of Eternity (I'm really surprised that this wasn't on your list)
Happy New Year Clint! Greetings from Toronto! Watching your video becomes a routine in my life in 2015, and thank you for your efforts for making the videos much enjoyable, have a wonderful year in 2016!
Great list, Clint. Also, BIG props for mentioning Bloodborne even though you're not a big fan of the Souls style games. I've always loved that series and it's cool to see you recognize what Fromsoft is doing. Happy new year!
Man, Splatoon must be one heck of a game Nintendo ever done in the history, I also like the creation of Super Mario Maker, a great level customization that NIntendo ever done! Happy new year to you!
Happy 2016 Clint! Thanks for posting this at midnight, so when I came home semi-inebriated from a night of celebration, I could relax to this with a few slices of pizza. Cheers
Lgr m8 i wish you a very happy new year and also to say that i have been an avid fan of your channel for a long time now. I like the way you review varied items like old computer stuff to thrifting and been varied is a cut above the rest of youtube in my book. Keep up the good work m8 and can`t wait to see what you upload in 2016.
Great video LGR! Glad to see that you are a CD Projekt Red supporter! I agree, they are probably the best role model for every game dev out there. They care about the quality of their game and playerbase as if they were an indie developer, which is so rare to see with all of the rushed and unfinished games coming out now a days. If all devs were like CD Projekt Red, the gaming world would be a better place.
+SteamStax Although I like CDProject and am eagerly awaiting 2077, I feel this to be quite unfair towards Bioware. I have never ever seen a bad or rushed game by them,, although I am not too much of a Dragon Age fan. And I wouldn't say that CDProject RPGs are in principle better, than those by Bioware. At least for me personally, has Mass Effect still more appeal than Witcher (which is, without doubt, indeed also an excellent series).
kfcnyancat You are right, actually i wasn't aware of them being the creator of this game, until you told me. But strange anyhow, that they did a Sonic game.
SteamStax I was originally referring to Bioware's classic RPGs. I really can't tell about The old republic, as I don't play MMORPGs. Actually I am still shocked, that they went as low as making a Sonic games, which practically on the same level as making sex games .. brrrrrr
kfcnyancat I could never get into any sonic game, not even the first 2. So to me personally they are all pretty bad and so my view on them is not very objective.
Currently playing through yakuza 5. On 130 hours and still only at about 25% complete and not finished the main story yet too. Can't wait for yakuza zero on ps4 in 2016
Just found virtua fighter 2 in the Sega arcade!! Still not played all the mini games. Need to do baseball, bowling, golf and many others. I personally like yakuza more than gta
Freaking love you LGR. Definitely my favorite UA-camr(JonTron is a close second). Dat smoof voice, satisfied smile after taking a drink of sodie, all of it.
Glad you mentioned SOMA at the end!!! Super underated game for some odd reason, one of my favorite survival sci-fi horrror game, in some ways even better than Alien: Isolation in other ways better than Dead Space 2. Love the concept and the tension, also I never played an under the sea adventure game before...
im so fucking happy someone else appreciates how amazing the Yakuza series is I picked up 4 on a whim a few years ago and have been hooked ever since. I'm glad you enjoy it, man.
+Owain Raysor I'd guess, that most of the people who actually played the series, tend to really like it, and an overly high percentage of those adore it. Problem is that nobody in the west seems to want to play "so Japanese" games, although this makes them imho even cooler. It's probably one of the most underrated game series ever (but I also tend to think that "The Warriors" by Rockstar is an absolutely brilliant game that does really step up to the great movie it's based upon, but few seem to share this opinion).
Owain Raysor Yeah, if I look at this thread, it either means, that nearly everybody who has ever played Yakzua also posted on this thread and has subscribed to LGR, or that it suddenly became somewhat cool to like Yakuza (which would be pretty beneficial for the series). At least we'll get Yakuza 0 in 2017, and hopefully Yakuza 6 not too long thereafter.
YES! Glad to see King's Quest made the list. I just played that with my niece over Christmas and if it was a 10/10 when I played it by myself, it was 11/10 playing it with a 7 year old.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds Dark Souls/Bloodborne gameplay really hard to wrap my head around. It saddens me, because as a huge monster geek and fan of sites like Bogleech I absolutely find myself drawn to the lore and setting, but I'm not nearly hardcore enough a gamer to ever make my way through it.
My personal favorite games that I've played the most of this year are "The Forest" and "Sir You Are Being Hunted". Of all the games that I've bought this year, those two are the ones that REALLY stand out. And as always, for the Fith year in a row, Minecraft is the top game (I doubt I'm ever going to get bored of it considering I've always found new things to do with it since I started playing it in early beta.) but that game doesn't really count for this because I bought that game long ago. Those three games were my triad this year.
I'm glad that you mentioned Bloodborne at least. For me this game is a masterpiece and it is clearly my number one this year ad one of the best games ever. After playing it I find it difficult to enjoy other games. The gameplay is just fantastic and very responsive. Soundtrack! Oh god, that's a beatiful piece of music. And I understand that you couldn't get into this game. SoulsBorne games are specific and not everyone wil enjoy them. All the best to you and your viewers in 2016.
Great list LGR, will have to check out Dropsy , but one game I think everyone needs to check out, and my favorite game of 2015; Life Is Strange, amazing story, beautiful designs and memorable characters, pretty much the only reason I brought my Xbox One to school was to finish this game.
1. Life is Strange - this game gave me feels, contains the biggest experience I have ever had with a videogame (unfortunately, Episode 5 wasn't very good and dissapointed me a lot) 2. The Talos Principle - philosofical puzzle game. If you're in that mood, grab it now 2. Cities: Skylines - As said in the video 2. Elite: Dangerous - 1:1 SPACE!! Didn't play it for very long though yet
+otakuploader Dark story with a cute face. Jokes that aren't all from the same pool. Fourth wall breaking narrative that messes with the system more than the save file deleting "good" ending of Nier. Yeah I don't get it either.
+Daniel M Not as bad as those that want to burn copies in a bonfire without even knowing the game. Even I don't really know the game but I'm sure I'd buy it as soon as it hits a market place I respect.
Happy new year to you and thank you so much for all your videos! Laid back, entertaining and informative! Keep it up! :D Btw have you ever played LISA - The painful RPG? (and if so, have you also played the DLC?)
This is a pretty impressive list seeing Yakuza, Undertale, Witcher and Dropsy. I still need to grab Dropsy and a few others but props to a well diversified that just isn't big blockbuster game 2015. Also thanks for selling me on Until Dawn, that game sounds great.
Totally great list Clint, bought and enjoyed some of those games based on your recommendation, btw, did you played Mario Maker? If not, try it, you'll love it, trust me!
Can you do an LGR Plays of Prison Architect?It's one of the best games to come out of the Steam Early Access in 2015 and it still gets updated with some really cool stuff.
Hey LGR - Have you played Life is Strange yet? My favourite game of 2015. Fantastic game. Also, notable mention to ARK, despite it's initial performance issues.
I feel like Xenoblade Chronicles X got the shit stick this year. I know most people would probably never have played it, but no one has even thought of it, and it's the absolute biggest multiplayer RPG this year. I blame Nintendo's terrible advertising for it.
I spent most of the year playing Bloodborne. First BB video I posted 9 months ago, most recent was a week ago. That's not to say I didn't play other games, but BB clearly dominated. Dark Souls 2 before that, and pretty much everything else were freebies on PS+
Of these games the only one I really played was Cities Skylines (fan of city builders going back to SimCity when it came out back in 1989). Fallout 4 looks too much like Fallout 3 and New Vegas (which I own and haven't finished all the way yet) to warrant a purchase. Witches 3 looks a lot like Skyrim and Oblivion (same comments as Fallout 4). Games which I really liked this year are the updates to Europa Universals IV and Crusader Kings II...best strategy games on the market I think. Happy new year!!
this is my best games of 2015 in no order. 1. Monster hunter 4 2. Fallout 4 3. Pokémon alpha shappire 4. Yakuza 5 5. The long dark (my favorite indie game I played in 2015 sadly it did not come out then but it still makes my list)
Absolutely no mentioned of Xeniblade Chronicles X, I know it's a long RPG but its so worth a look, one of the best Nintendo games and although it came out recently Iv alreaddy sunk enough hours in to call it my game of the year.
+Jay Mains Just started playing it a few days ago. It's addicting as fuck. Easily my best game of the year followed by Splatoon. Disappointed it wasn't on the list.
I got Assassin's Creed for Christmas, and I am really enjoying it so far. It takes all the parts of the previous game that worked well, and cranked them up to create a superior game. I mean Black Flag, by the way. I'm quite behind on the Assassin's Creed series. But damn, it is fun.
I never thought it'd be LGR to make me think about actually grabbing a console for the exclusives in 2016. Maybe each console has enough of an exclusive library to be worth it.
This is why I've been a long time watcher. You always seem to have such a great background on why you chose what you consider as the best, and you give it alot of personality instead of making it feel so "We're writing it in the way we were told to do". I wish you a Happy New Year Clint!
+HGCentral It apparently takes balls to be an actual human being with their *own* opinions. Don't disagree with the opinion though!
_A few more games of note:_
*Just Cause 3:* It's more of the same with lots of improvements, and that's great! But like the previous games, it's only something I pick up to play for a few minutes at a time until I've had my fill.
*Super Mario Maker:* Incredibly easy to use editor that's fun to play with, and I love that it exists, but it didn't stand out very much to me otherwise.
*Transformers: Devastation:* Now this is a great G1 Transformers game, no doubt. But I'm not hugely into spectacle fighters so I lost interest before long.
*ARK: Survival Evolved:* This _absolutely_ would've been on my list, but it's still in early access. Next to Fallout 4, it's the game I spent the most time with this year!
*Carmageddon: Reincarnation:* Lots of fun when it works well, but uh, it doesn't work very well. It has improved with patches but it's still not 100%.
*Star Wars Battlefront:* Gorgeous game that plays rather well but is severely lacking depth. Shame.
*Arkham Knight:* PC version was garbage.
*Soma, Read Only Memories, Life Is Strange, Metal Gear Solid V, Pillars of Eternity:* Haven't played yet but plan to.
+Lazy Game Reviews I am annoyed by your lack of Duck Game
+Lazy Game Reviews I'm glad to see Life is Strange on this! (:
+Lazy Game Reviews What does spectacle fighters even mean?
+Lazy Game Reviews I'm looking forward to your SOMA review. ^_^
P.S. Happy New Year!
+Azariah C. Neal I got bored of the gameplay super fast with no story to look forward to and repetitive missions.
Starting 2016 with an LGR video. Not bad.
Haha! Me 2 :)
I really like the way you put the characteristics of every game you review, Clint. And finally a list that's not only about Blockbusters. Excellent job as usual, and certainly worth a try on every game you talked about. Happy New Year!

A good list overall Clint, for me as much as I'm currently savoring "Fallout 4", I found "Mad Max" to be the real surprise this year & was my GOTY easily. I have over 200 hours in it & still haven't completed it yet, I think it was the sleeper of 2015.
Happy new year! Looking forward to a great 2016 with lots of new LGR videos.
Omg I love this list so much. Splatoon, Rocket League, Ori, Undertale, Witcher 3, Until Dawn. You basically listed all of my favorite games this year.
Digging those sweet tunes from Unreal Tournament at the beginning. Fun list!
The only 2015 list with Yakuza 5 in it. Awesome surprise.
Sadly no one knows about these games here.
Some cool unexpected stuff here!
Yuakuza 5 was a nice surprise. I've recently been getting in to these games and actually just finished 4 yesterday. I'm really eager to get on to 5, but it's pretty expensive. £33 on the UK PSN store! But I'm really glad to see the series getting some recognition of late.
Splatoon is really cool to see too. That's easily my favourite game of the year. It's just so fun and inventive.
Forza 6 was a surprise as well. There's no better way to put it than it being what Forza 5 should have been.

***** It took 3 years to just get Yakuza 5 in English (English subtitles) so I wouldn't hold my breath for another platform!

You've got this amazing talent of making me feel good that I'm gonna be playing video games to start the year instead of working out, studying, etc...
My first video of the new year is an LGR video. Nice.
Excited for that Yakuza 5 actually! Gotta go find it, though I really wish we could have gotten the Period-styled Yakuza games as well, "Ryuu ga Gotoku Kenzan!" and "Ryuu ga Gotoku Ishin!". Also, Dropsy reminds me A LOT of Natsume's "Chuu-lip" game on the PS2, where you are a Post-man on a kissing-quest to kiss nearly everyone (though, it's for the love of a girl!). Awesome list, already added a few suggestions, since they are relevant to my interests. Muwhaha.
My top 10 list:
10. Hard West
9. Rainbow Six: Siege
8. Ori and the Blind Forest
7. Warhammer: The End Times - Vermintide
6. The Age of Decadence
5. Just Cause 3
4. Undertale
3. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain
2. The Witcher 3
1. Pillars of Eternity (I'm really surprised that this wasn't on your list)
Yes! Some Yakuza 5 love. Yakuza is such a good series.
Wow, didn't knew LGR plays Yakuza. You have my respect for that!
I'm glad you and Roses keep the lights on for Dropsy. It was a good game!
+boxOhobo *warm damp hug*

Finally a list that includes Forza 6. One of my favorite racing games ever; improves on an already near-perfect formula.
i like this guy he tells every underrated game to be the best game of 2015.
Great video LGR! Glad to see that you are a CD Projekt Red supporter! I agree, they are probably the best role model for every game dev out there.

Can't wait for yakuza zero on ps4 in 2016
Just found virtua fighter 2 in the Sega arcade!! Still not played all the mini games. Need to do baseball, bowling, golf and many others. I personally like yakuza more than gta
Thanks for being such a good youtuber your video is always so nice too watch and really brings me back to a better time with all your retro games :)
Happy New Year Clint and LGR!!! Great list!
Awesome list LGR! Here's to another good year of gaming! *lifts glass*
:D - Happy New Year to all! Thank you for continuing to make and post your videos! They are as good as ever and always enjoyable!
happy New Year LGR cant wait to see what you have planned for 2016! thanks for the awesome content!
Thank you, here's to an awesome 2016!
Thanks for sharing. Happy 2016!
Happy New Year LGR!
Glad you gave AC Syndicate an honorable mention, since it's the most engaging game of the series I've played in a long time. : )
Freaking love you LGR. Definitely my favorite UA-camr(JonTron is a close second). Dat smoof voice, satisfied smile after taking a drink of sodie, all of it.
Respect those honorable mentions, good vid

I'm amazed that your's is the first list I've seen Cities: Skylines. It's a bit of a travesty for such a phenomenal game.
im so fucking happy someone else appreciates how amazing the Yakuza series is
I picked up 4 on a whim a few years ago and have been hooked ever since. I'm glad you enjoy it, man.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds Dark Souls/Bloodborne gameplay really hard to wrap my head around. It saddens me, because as a huge monster geek and fan of sites like Bogleech I absolutely find myself drawn to the lore and setting, but I'm not nearly hardcore enough a gamer to ever make my way through it.
Happy New Year Clint!
My personal favorite games that I've played the most of this year are "The Forest" and "Sir You Are Being Hunted". Of all the games that I've bought this year, those two are the ones that REALLY stand out. And as always, for the Fith year in a row, Minecraft is the top game (I doubt I'm ever going to get bored of it considering I've always found new things to do with it since I started playing it in early beta.) but that game doesn't really count for this because I bought that game long ago. Those three games were my triad this year.
I remember 2015 like it was yesterday
Sims 4 Get Together didn't get a mention! I'm surprised, your review was absolutely glowing
Because it's an expansion pack, not a game. This is a list of games :)
Another awesome video, as always. Really enjoyed it.
I'm glad that you mentioned Bloodborne at least. For me this game is a masterpiece and it is clearly my number one this year ad one of the best games ever. After playing it I find it difficult to enjoy other games. The gameplay is just fantastic and very responsive. Soundtrack! Oh god, that's a beatiful piece of music. And I understand that you couldn't get into this game. SoulsBorne games are specific and not everyone wil enjoy them.
All the best to you and your viewers in 2016.
Great list LGR, will have to check out Dropsy , but one game I think everyone needs to check out, and my favorite game of 2015; Life Is Strange, amazing story, beautiful designs and memorable characters, pretty much the only reason I brought my Xbox One to school was to finish this game.
1. Life is Strange - this game gave me feels, contains the biggest experience I have ever had with a videogame (unfortunately, Episode 5 wasn't very good and dissapointed me a lot)
2. The Talos Principle - philosofical puzzle game. If you're in that mood, grab it now
2. Cities: Skylines - As said in the video
2. Elite: Dangerous - 1:1 SPACE!! Didn't play it for very long though yet
Nice upload, right at New Years!
still
9:15 for the western folks.
Happy New Years Clint !!
Have a great year LGR. Cheers!
Haha thanks for the Bloodborne mention at least! Have a good 2016!
*sees Undertale* I approve this list wholeheartedly. Good job!
+Mr. Horseshoe Memetale
Seeing Undertale on this list fills me with determination.
+otakuploader Dark story with a cute face. Jokes that aren't all from the same pool. Fourth wall breaking narrative that messes with the system more than the save file deleting "good" ending of Nier. Yeah I don't get it either.
Finally, I found others that don't understand the hype, I'm surprised the fandom hasn't killed this game off from over-hyping already.
+Daniel M Not as bad as those that want to burn copies in a bonfire without even knowing the game. Even I don't really know the game but I'm sure I'd buy it as soon as it hits a market place I respect.
Fallout 4 and Forza 6 are my favorite two on this list, but I spent the most time with MGS V. So much fun, that game is.
Happy new year to you and thank you so much for all your videos! Laid back, entertaining and informative! Keep it up! :D
Btw have you ever played LISA - The painful RPG? (and if so, have you also played the DLC?)
Fun list with a few surprises, didn't know he was into Forza.
If you want a good Metroidvania, try Axiom Verge. It is very much a Metroid clone, but very interesting.
This is a pretty impressive list seeing Yakuza, Undertale, Witcher and Dropsy. I still need to grab Dropsy and a few others but props to a well diversified that just isn't big blockbuster game 2015. Also thanks for selling me on Until Dawn, that game sounds great.
Rocket League reminds me so much of one episode of Hot Wheels: Battle Force 5 I watched as a kid. I need it now.
Totally great list Clint, bought and enjoyed some of those games based on your recommendation, btw, did you played Mario Maker? If not, try it, you'll love it, trust me!
Solid top games. Happy new year dude!
Also, have you checked out Underrail yet?
Can you do an LGR Plays of Prison Architect?It's one of the best games to come out of the Steam Early Access in 2015 and it still gets updated with some really cool stuff.
I probably should, especially since I'm actually one of the prisoners included in the game.
Lazy Game Reviews Really?!That's awesome!
i hear your unreal tournament soundtrack backdrop - and i saw what you did there, because ut is the best game ever there is :D
Woah, no MGS5 on the main list? That was one of my favorites along with Mario Maker and Fallout 4
Cities: Skylines was a nice reminder that while I love urban planning games... I am not very good at them.
thanks for the video! now i've got a list to what to play on my newly built pc :D
Happy new year !
Your voice is godlike
witcher 3 for sure! im still playing it. love every second of it
Hey LGR - Have you played Life is Strange yet? My favourite game of 2015. Fantastic game. Also, notable mention to ARK, despite it's initial performance issues.
I feel like Xenoblade Chronicles X got the shit stick this year. I know most people would probably never have played it, but no one has even thought of it, and it's the absolute biggest multiplayer RPG this year. I blame Nintendo's terrible advertising for it.
I spent most of the year playing Bloodborne. First BB video I posted 9 months ago, most recent was a week ago. That's not to say I didn't play other games, but BB clearly dominated. Dark Souls 2 before that, and pretty much everything else were freebies on PS+
Came to hear you mention Undertale, was not disappointed. :D
Finally, one of the people I'm subscribed to mentioned Undertale.
just got Ori and the Blind Forrest in the steam sale IT IS AMAZING!
Of these games the only one I really played was Cities Skylines (fan of city builders going back to SimCity when it came out back in 1989). Fallout 4 looks too much like Fallout 3 and New Vegas (which I own and haven't finished all the way yet) to warrant a purchase. Witches 3 looks a lot like Skyrim and Oblivion (same comments as Fallout 4).
Games which I really liked this year are the updates to Europa Universals IV and Crusader Kings II...best strategy games on the market I think.
Happy new year!!
This is where we differ, I love the "Soul's style"
Disappointed that Hotline Miami 2 wasn't listed, great video nonetheless!
You ever play games like the Stanley Parable? Undertale was also fantastic :) Love unique games like that.
Yup, talked about it briefly here:

Happy New Year everyone, thank you for awesome list LGR and as always #FucKonami
this is my best games of 2015 in no order.
1. Monster hunter 4
2. Fallout 4
3. Pokémon alpha shappire
4. Yakuza 5
5. The long dark (my favorite indie game I played in 2015 sadly it did not come out then but it still makes my list)
Absolutely no mentioned of Xeniblade Chronicles X, I know it's a long RPG but its so worth a look, one of the best Nintendo games and although it came out recently Iv alreaddy sunk enough hours in to call it my game of the year.
+Jay Mains Just started playing it a few days ago. It's addicting as fuck. Easily my best game of the year followed by Splatoon. Disappointed it wasn't on the list.
I actually have absolutely 0 intrest in that game. I like RPGs but not anime.
I got Assassin's Creed for Christmas, and I am really enjoying it so far. It takes all the parts of the previous game that worked well, and cranked them up to create a superior game.
I mean Black Flag, by the way. I'm quite behind on the Assassin's Creed series. But damn, it is fun.
Undertale is my GOTY tbh
I never thought it'd be LGR to make me think about actually grabbing a console for the exclusives in 2016. Maybe each console has enough of an exclusive library to be worth it.
My game of the year was Splatoon.
Wow, you play everything.
Surprised Life Is Strange wasn't on here.
WyGuyJones Oh, that explains why he didn't even mention it.
+BoloYung it's really fun
BoloYung Not tumblr life is strange
BoloYung Have you seen it or played it?
Really shitty game
