Worst as disappointing or just bad? If its disappointing then Destiny wins. If its baaaad then im not sure cuz i ignore crappy games for the most part. My fav game this year is still Dark Souls 2.

All my games are good. Even the bad ones.

Especially Sunset Overdrive and CoD: AW. They are at the top of the list currently.

Best: Dark Souls 2, Titanfall, Mario Kart 8, Hyrule Warriors, Bayonetta 2. (LittleBigPlanet 3, Pokemon and Smash Bros for Wii U hasn't come out yet. =P)

Worst; Watch_Dogs and Destiny.

Legend of Grimrock 2 is my favorite game this year. My least favorite is probably Child of Light.

Best: Final Fantasy X HD

Worst: Lightning Returns

Not counting re releases: best is Destiny so far; worst is Watch Dogs.

I don't know. I haven't bought many games that came out this year

• MLB The Show 14 (Vita): by far the most played game for me this year that came out this year. But it's Vita version, so it's lacking a lot. But it's still really addictive if you are just playing RTTS
• Bravely Default: Haven't started yet.
• The Legend of Heroes - Sen no Kiseki (Vita): the aesthetics, characters, setting, they are all WAY too anime for me, but the gameplay and stuff is actually pretty neat. I like it, but I haven't finished it yet.
• Final Fantasy X HD (Vita): I bought it to try it again--I never liked the original--but I barely played it.
• OlliOlli (PC) - I just got it on humble bundle (it's still on) and I LOVE it. This takes me back to those days when I nearly failed a grade playing Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2. I wish they something like that again...
• Luftrauser (PC) - very interesting.
• Risk of Rain (PC) - Doesn't run on XP.

@Zelda187: This lem? Poor? How dare you Zelda. My game life is complete.

I'm not mad at you though.

Best so far-

Shadow of Mordor

Alien Isolation

Best: MK8, Evil Within, Bayo 2, soon to be SSB WiiU, DK: TF, TLOU: Remastered

Best:

1.Shovel Knight

2.Divinity: Original Sin

3.Legend of Grimrock 2

4. Wolfenstein: The New Order

5. Dark Souls 2

Worst:

1.Thief

Not necessarily a bad game, just a massive disappointment. I also stopped playing games with any suspicion of being bad. Just don't have money to waste. So this is the best I can come up with I guess.

As of right now

Best = Mario Kart 8

Worst = Watch Dogs

Biggest Surprise = Call of Duty Advanced Warfare. Seriously. The game is pretty darn good.

Honorable Mentions - Olli Olli and South Park are pretty good too!

Best Game: Disney Infinity 2.0

Worst Game: Disney Infinity 2.0

Its the only game I bought this year so naturally it occupies both sides.

@LegatoSkyheart

Tis the weekend... Mods need a well deserved break...

Which is bad news for me since If I get false flagged again I won't be coming back for a while.

Shame this thread probably won't last, but...

BEST:
COD: AW - You know a year has been pretty bad when this game hits the "best of the year" list. In fact, it surprised me in that it is probably the best game I have played this year. Exos change the game in more ways than I thought and just the little details like map specific kill streaks, the different little abilities of guns (infinite ammo but overheats, first 5 bullets doing more damage) plus the loot drops for minor stat changes, added together with a pretty great single player campaign (one level in particular stands out as one of the best designed tutorialesque levels I have ever seen in an FPS) makes a pretty dang good package.
Age of Wonders 3 - A dash of HoMM and Civ work quite nice together. I haven't played the expansion, but I hear that is really good and well received. Tactical gameplay is great, and the unit limit seemed stupid till I actually played with it and realized it opened up a lot of choices. Enjoyable game.
Hearthstone - This is not my fav card game but it is a great example of one done right. Addictive as heck arena mode and fun card battling game-play that gets crazier as the game goes on. The various expansions that this game will no doubt receive just make it worth even more, and how can you say no to a free game?

WORST:
Watch Dogs - Oh man was I so hyped for this game, and so dissapointed when it dropped. I was ready to go all in on this game and just immerse myself in its world, but only made it to chapter 2 before I quit in blind frustration. Awful optimization on PC, shallow "Press Q to hack and win" style gameplay along with many extras that are just pointless or not fleshed out. The two standout saviors to this game are the AR games, and the multiplayer.

Honestly, didn't buy a heck of a lot (I only tend to buy games that get great reviews) so not too many disappointing games if any, but not too many standout stars either.

Best: Bayonetta 2: Awesome game. Excellent mechanics, kick ass enemy variety, bitchin boss fights. One of the best action games, period.

Worst: Destiny: a repetitive mind numbing slog that isn't a test of skill or mastery of game mechanics, but the player's willingness to be a slave. Typical atrocious Bungie level design.

Best

-Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze (one of the best platformers ever created)

-Bayonetta 2 (one of the best action games of all time)

Worst

-Mario Kart 8 (the series really needs some fixing up. It's been suffering from some fatal flaws for too long now)

Best: South Park Stick Of Truth

Worst: WatchDogs

Best - Bayonetta 2, i mean is there any doubt about how glorious this game is? Best action game ever.

Worst - Dark Souls 2, is not a bad game by any means...is just that of all the games ive played this year, this is the only one that felt a little bit short for me.

You need 500 posts bro. inb4lock

Best- Dark Souls 2.

Worst- umm only played dark souls 2 this year. I hate working. :(

All the games I've played I have enjoyed. Titanfall, Destiny, watch dogs, wolfenstein, advanced warfare, most dissapointing was theif though

I hate everything equally

Best: Valiant Hearts, Child of Light, Transistor, TLOU: Remastered, Metro Redux, The Walking Dead: Complete Season 2, Shadow of Mordor, FIFA 15, Alien: Isolation, The Evil Within, NBA 2K15.

Worst: Thief, Lords of the Fallen, NBA Live 15, The Legend of Korra, Destiny, Murdered: Soul Suspect, NHL 15, Fighter Within, Sniper Elite III.

Pls no lockerino. Decent threads are rare around here. :(

Best:

1. Mario Kart 8
2. Sunset Overdrive
3. Horizon 2
4. Bayonetta 2
5. Shadows of Mordor

Worst:

1. Drive Club
2. Watch Dogs

5. Rambo
6. Destiny
7. The Sims 4
8. Yaiba

Bayonetta 2

Divinity OS

Shadows of Mordor

Sunset Overdrive

Most Disappointing Game of the Year

1. Driveclub

2. Destiny

3. Thief

4. Bravely Default- one of the best FF games in years, if not for that tedious mid game section.

Best:

Luftrausers

Wolfenstein The New Order

Valiant Hearts

COH 2: Western Front Armies

Mario Kart 8

Worst:

I can't think of much, so I'll go with Destiny. I hate it when developers design their premium priced games around making you buy as much DLC as possible. Got to make up for that marketing budget somehow, I guess...

Thief wasn't a bad game per se. It's just such a shame, because it could've been sooooo much more.

My favs so far:

• Sunset Overdrive
• Wolfenstein: New Order
• Walking Dead Season 2
• Valiant Hearts
• Child of Light

The main disappointment was Destiny.

Sorry buddy, gonna have to lock this one because you don't have enough posts to make a thread yet.

That said, I'll still at least answer the question:

1. Mario Kart 8
2. Bayonetta 2
3. Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth
4. Civilization: Beyond Earth
5. Hyrule Warriors

Disappointing:

Gah, nothing that I particularly actually bought myself or cared for. I guess I'll say DriveClub, I was actually very excited to get the game, until the reviews started coming in. Even then, I was willing to form my own opinion on the game by giving at least the PS+ version a go, but we all know how that turned out.
