[Gipsy Danger]

Guess I really am one of the very few who didn't really like Witcher 3 at all.

 

[Houndi101]

is there a joke I'm not getting with Bloodborne not anywhere on the tally?

Edit. Ah Steam Gaf

 

[Arthea]

is there a joke I'm not getting with Bloodborne not anywhere on the tally?

steam gaf GOTY? That's the joke

 

[Atraveller]

is there a joke I'm not getting with Bloodborne not anywhere on the tally?

Is this a joke?

ahahahaha

it was robbed ;___;

 

[Durante]

considering the pre-release hype, I'm very surprised how badly Tales of Zestiria did

I guess people just didn't like it? lol
Even Lightning Returns and Neptunia charted higher

I liked it a lot, but nowhere near enough to make it into my top 5. Do you realize how many great games are released in a year?

 

[YianGaruga]

Oh I know. I'm not saying it deserves to be in the top 10
I just didn't expect it to land that far down the list

 

[Kurt Russell]

Glad to see Way of the Samurai 4 and D4 in the top 40

 

[Anteater]

Can't believe so many people voted for mad max.

It would've been on my list if it wasn't the 6th game I played in 2015

 

[Kurt Russell]

Well, if Kurt Russel says it's worth playing I guess I don't have much of a choice, do I?

I enjoyed it a ton. Enough to give it 5 points instead of Way of the Samurai 4.

 

[Memory]

I don't know why I even look at these top 10 lists, I have always had a massive disconnect with what's considered popular in gaming. Only 1 of those games is in my Steam top 10 lol.

 

[ethomaz]

A GOTY without Bloodborne looks weird O.O

I know it is Steam but I opened the thread waiting Bloodborne lol

 

[Tenebrous]

TitS:SC & Ori making the top ten, and that top four? Steam GAF knows the score.

 

[Haunted]

Solid top 10, shoutout to Ori!

Having #9 and #10 as representatives of GAF subcommunities that are a big part of SteamGAF (Anime-GAF and GB-GAF) is totally fitting. SteamGAF has good taste, this might be one of the few lists on which Pillars really gets its due.


Thanks for doing the work, jshackles.

 

[Durante]

I think it's interesting that Contradiction has "broad appeal", by some strange niche definition
What I mean is that it has a comparatively low APS for its placement. So a lot of people who played it enjoyed it enough to put it somewhere on their list. (Like me, and it really wasn't easy to select just 5 games!)

 

[Nzyme32]

Great work JShackles and SteamGAF!!

Tales From the Borderlands and Trails in the Sky are surprises for me, so I'll add them to the wishlist and get them eventually.

God Tier Gem
31 | Sunless Sea (13 Points / 2.6 APS)

Stuff I forgot about voting on
11 | Cities: Skylines (59 Points / 2.46 APS)
16 | Shadowrun: Hong Kong (30 Points / 2.5 APS)
17 | Kerbal Space Program (29 Points / 3.63 APS)
19 | Downwell (28 Points / 2.55 APS)
30 | Underrail (13 Points / 3.25 APS)
30 | Westerado: Double Barreled (13 Points / 3.25 APS)
53 | Satellite Reign (4 Points / 2 APS)

 

[prudislav]

i completely forgot to vote :-(
and
Renowned Explorers got only 1 point :-(

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Undertale was robbed.

 

[MMBosstones86]

Clicker Heroes higher than the shitty FFVI port. Awesome.

Clicker Heroes got 8 points and half of them came from me.

 

[Grief.exe]

My votes

11 | Cities: Skylines (59 Points / 2.46 APS)
17 | Kerbal Space Program (29 Points / 3.63 APS)
01 I The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (344 Points/ 4.30 APS)
05 I Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (151 Points/ 3.21 APS)
25 | Resident Evil HD Remaster (21 Points / 2.63 APS)

 

[Hellsing321]

Pretty great list. LiS could be a little higher but everything can't be perfect

 

[Ultimadrago]

I didn't even know about this and SteamGAF did a great job!

Even Trails in the Sky: SC got in Top 10. Come in for your noogies, ya munchkins.

Pretty great list. LiS could be a little higher but everything can't be perfect

It literally could go no higher and, honestly speaking, really could have done with going lower. 2nd is a little too generous.

 

[Parsnip]

My votes in order from 5 points to 1 point.
01 | The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (344 Points / 4.3 APS)
22 | Assassin's Creed Syndicate (24 Points / 3.43 APS)
29 | Axiom Verge (14 Points / 2.33 APS)
05 | Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (151 Points / 3.21 APS)
02 | Life Is Strange (204 Points / 3.24 APS)


Couple games that I wish I had made the time to play were Grow Home and Invisible Inc, I have a hunch that they would have had a good chance of charting my list. It stings but what can you do.

 

[paperspace]

Great work jshackles!

130 games eh? Maybe some of those are worth checking out.

 

[Lunar15]

That's a super solid and varied top 3.

 

[William Bonney]

My 5 picks were:

12 | Grand Theft Auto V (57 Points / 2.85 APS)
3 | Rocket League (202 Points / 3.48 APS)
6 | Ori and the Blind Forest (132 Points / 3.14 APS)
48 | Prison Architect (6 Points / 1.2 APS)
58 | Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide (1 Points / 1 APS)

 

[80s Bad Guy]

That's actually a pretty great list. And I need to join the Steam Gaf group for sure.

 

[Gintoki]

Ori @#6. Not bad

 

[emptyroom]

Pillars at #4. Excellent. What a truly special game.

 

[Se7enSword]

These were my votes by order:

9 | The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC (72 Points / 4.5 APS)
50 | Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim (5 Points / 2.5 APS)
5 | Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (151 Points / 3.21 APS)
10 | Contradiction: Spot the Liar (68 Points / 2.72 APS)
18 | Guilty Gear Xrd - Sign- (28 Points / 3.11 APS)

 

[DukeBobby]

I would have voted, but I still haven't done my GAF GOTY list yet. I'll have to quickly write some half-arsed crap tonight.

Also, I'm surprised to see Contradiction in the top ten. It definitely deserves its spot, though.

 

[fallout]

I would have voted for KSP, but completely neglected the fact that it was actually eligible.

Good list overall.

 

[Locust]

Who on earth would vote for MKX for the Steam GOTY (even before the recent announcement)?
Were people just running out of games from 2015 to put in their list?

I gave it 1 point. Managed to put over 100 hours into it so it belonged on my list, no question about it. The early port issues and the DLC bullshit aside it was a very good game.
If I had the time to play Witcher more I'd prob have left it out tho.

Resident Evil HD got robbed.

 

[Ricky Ricardo]

1 | The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (344 Points / 4.3 APS)
32 | Just Cause 3 (12 Points / 3 APS)

These are the only two games from the list that I've played

Spoiler

Pls understand, I had to study

 

[brau]

Yay!!! i am glad i was able to participate on this. Good list.

 

[Maniac]

Wow. A PC only traditional RPG in 4th. GAF has great taste, confirmed.
Edit: oh, steam gaf lol. Still good.

SteamGAF does have quite good taste...

The rest of GAF though?

Eeeeeh... We'll see, I suppose.

But man, this top 10 makes me happy. The top 5 consists of 3 of my votes in the exact spots I put them in, iirc.

 

[vocab]

Guess I really am one of the very few who didn't really like Witcher 3 at all.

Did you play the other games in the series?

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

So many "Interactive" games getting top honors. I never thought I would see this day.
I really really need to play Pillars of Eternity.

What does this mean?

 

[KenOD]

I think he is referring to titles such as Life is Strange. Which is a weird way of describing Adventure games.

I am curious what a non-interactive game would be if using it's basic meaning. Mountain perhaps?

A screensaver. I got a great deal of enjoyment out of those flying toasters.

 

[PandaPedinte]

Nice to see the results. Good job jshackles!

 

[MRORANGE]

Great list, thanks jshackles for running it again this year!

 

[alexbull_uk]

Yay for Life is Strange! Really happy it got into the top 3.

 

[Arthea]

I was curious, anybody had a list exactly like top 5 we ended with?

 

[Smash88]

The list is great, but GTA V got robbed.

Spoiler

I'm not joking either.

AND.

YOU.

ALL.

KNOW.

IT.

SHAME IS GOING TO BE BROUGHT UPON US IN 2016... SHAMMMEEEEEE!

Thanks for another great year of Steam-GAF GOTY vote taking and statistic making, Jshackles.
