My top ones of the year are Super Mario Maker and uhh I guess MGS5. I dunno. In retrospect, and don't get me wrong I like the game a lot but it's just not as great as it could have possibly lived up to.

MGSV was my favorite released this year I think but Im pretty sure I would have liked Bloodborne more if I had played it. BioShock Infinite came out for Linux earlier this year and that was p. dope... and the Steven Universe iOS game was definitely a hidden gem, no pun intended.

I lost a month of my life in MGSV, and I can't remember the last time I got so fully engrossed in a game like that. I have to give it big ups for that. Lots of fantastic stuff that came out this year though

I played a lot of it too but looking back at it, even though it probably does the things the best they can be done, it has a lot of Modern Game AIDS stuff going on and it's sort of too easy I guess and while it's part of the fun, the Still Engaging intersection of the base difficulty with how much R&D starts affecting the difficulty is kinda narrow. Or it's just not as hardcore as the other ones could be sometimes. Something like that. I would describe it like, while I was playing it at some point I kind of wished I had done a playthrough without fultoning a ton of guys. Which when I did start doing that playthrough it turned out to be pretty interesting to do it where I was playing mostly lethal/stealth and if I wanted people I had to CQC them. But at that point it's like well why didn't they just put a mode where you get a lot less fultons or it's harder to get guys or something. I guess there's mods that do that. And while that playthrough was more fun I had already just beaten the game. I was wondering also what would happen if I got rid of anyone who spoke the language that's a big thing later on by the time it happens. Anyway, I thought it was a good one and I had a good time, but now I would say, that Super Mario Maker is a lot better.

My goty is skewed because I got a 3DS and a bunch of its backlog so stuff like Link Between Worlds is clogging up my opinion of this year's games. Even so Monster Hunter 4 U, Splatoon, Super Mario Maker, what a time we live in. Xenoblade Chronicles X gets an honorable mention. I haven't even played Witcher 3 yet.

I think the cool thing about MGSV's difficulty is its 100% how hard you want to make it for yourself. There's no like, game level toggles or whatever really, like Hard, Expert, etc. It's just that every aspect of the mechanics is like a slider you can play with on the fly.

Also what AIDS is there in MGSV. The only thing is microtransactions but they effect 0% of the game, unless you want to go insanely deep on FOB invasions.

i like having game level toggles like you say and then using every tool at my disposal within such a game setting, instead of limiting myself. but thats a personal thing

There's no like, game level toggles or whatever really, like Hard, Expert, etc. It's just that every aspect of the mechanics is like a slider you can play with on the fly. Yeah although there are gates to content based on it and because the existing on-site procurement options in the game are often limited it can get a little boring if you're being like me and saying Ok well I'll only get B+ guys this whole time. It's nice to come across a tank in a mission where most other people would have like some insane explosive device, and I do give them credit for letting you get S ranks without being full stealth or whatever if you do things right. In one of the first missions I used a scoped assault rifle from like 200m away to kill the commander guy except I couldn't actually get a killing shot on him, I just shot him enough that he bled to death and I didn't even get a kill count for it which I don't know if it's because he bled to death or because he was a mission target.

I didn't buy very many brand new games this year, but the ones that I did buy were fantastic. Also a lot of good patches/expansions/DLC whatever to games I play a lot of. Good year for gaming IMO.

Spectre Knight, though, will definitely be off the chain

I think they add small changes, get rid of some checkpoints and at least the final boss rush is different because there's no chickens or whatever.

Well it's a bunch of subtle stuff and Design Philosophy things. Carrot Treadmill stuff, regenerating health is a little goofy and slows the pace of a lot of games, Far Cry-ish collectible kind of stuff, just a bunch of tiny things that aren't that big a deal because their done fairly well, open world stealth that's still better than the iterations before it but still suffers a little because of it's nature. Tagging and some of the companions and such for example make the stealth game just straight easier and almost trivial and kind of tedious because God forbid the player remember things or learn from mistakes or adapt on the fly. Someone as tactically brain dead as Dan Ryckert saying he "loves this part", meaning the part where you sit on a hill and look at bad guys through binoculars, but then blundering through missions as stupidly as possible tells me it's a lot about some insane completion psychology or some weird thing about going through the Cool Tactician Stealth Master motions no matter how shallowly you actually have to interact with them. Which again, at least in MGS5 the scoring is robust enough if you care about it and there's a reasonable spectrum of success and failure and it's done better but I don't know. I don't hate the game or anything, those are just my few complaints about it, if I had to qualify why I wouldn't call it the best thing this year.

The idea that by its very nature open world stealth will never be as tight as past games is fair. But the weird hybrid game that came out was endlessly fascinating to me, and I usually actively dislike all open world games. It was nice that someone made one that actually played well.

And just so folks know, I do acknowledge and appreciate the gracefulness of the game as far as mechanics like stun vs sleep vs kill or fulton vs not fulton or the base building or the number of other classic MGS Choice & Consequences crap in the game... So don't get on my rear end about it. Sometimes it's a gamer's job to also acknowledge what they dislike about something, even if it's good.

No flaming here, it's not a perfect game. A lot of side ops weren't really varied enough to be totally engrossing, and there's so many materials that you pointlessly get like a billion of that I'm not even sure why they're in the game. Also, obviously, it would be nice to have Chapter 3.
