Can we agree Bloodborne is still GOTY of 2015?

Witcher 3 - bleh combat, overly long story, boring characters

MGS 5 - lacked iconic Kojima personality that we've come to know

Bloodborne - amazing gameplay, intriguing story

Maybe Fallout 4 has a shot, but the graphics suck and it seems like Fallout 3.5.

What say you, SW? Does Bloodborn still have this?

lol not even close. Witcher 3 and MGS5 alone blow it away. Now we have Halo 5, Just Cause and Fallout are coming out. People stopped caring about Bloodborne about a month after launch.

Nope

Hell to the no.

come on son...

My vote is on Undertale and Pillars of Eternity.

Haven't played W3 or MGSV, probably won't play MGSV tbh.

Undertale is actually pretty damn amazing. It gives me the feelings I had as a child when playing some games for the first time like A Link to the Past or the original Secret of Mana. It oozes charm and character. Loving it so far.

I'm thinking GS goty will come down to TW3 vs. MGSV.

Personally, it's still MGSV by a long shot. The game disappoints in a lot of ways (not even talking about story), but I'm 146 hours in and still playing.

Nope

No... No.

>GOTY

>Mattering

Currently playing TW3 and its an amazing game but doesn't feel as unique as Bloodborne. Didn't play MGS5 yet so dunno how this one fairs but i don't see it being better than TW3. The only game that has a very good chance of being better than Bloodborne is Fallout 4 because it offers its uniqueness and has shitton of it. If the witcher 3 had BB's combat system oh man that would be amazing. Sadly, you're a stupid ballerina with a beard and a silver sword...

nope.

Witcher 3, MGS & fallout 4 will all be ahead of bloodbourne for goty contention at most places. Only sony biased media sources will place it at #1

well this went the wrong direction for TC pretty damn fast

The Witcher 3 is my GOTY so far. There is still Halo 5, Xenoblade, Fallout 4, Just cause 3 to come.

Yeah, Undertale is cool. I've only played a few hours of it (and from what I understand that's about half of the game), but it's definitely been enjoyable. It's pretty rare that a game purposefully makes me laugh. Good stuff.

And damn, I literally forgot that Pillars of Eternity exists lol. I got about 40 hours in and just quit playing. Need to get back to it some time.

The witcher craps on bloodbourne so no.

..and just to be clear, I'd take Bloodborne over TW3 any day. It's not even close. I just don't think Bloodborne will get it here on GS.

@ConanTheStoner: Yeah the writing is really top notch. What's your beef with Witcher 3? I liked it a lot. Haven't had the chance to play Pillars of Eternity yet.

Personally yes. Bloodborne is the best game this year by far and it doesn't look like anything is going to top it for the rest of the year. Very few games are on Bloodborne's level.

WT3 will win simply because MGS5 was disappointing.

My rankings so far look like this

1 - Rocket League

2 - Super Mario Maker

3 - Splatoon

4 - MGS V

5 - Bloodborne

I also really enjoyed Until Dawn and am having a blast with Yoshi Woolly World. After the rest of 2015 Bloodborne may not make my top 10. It's a great game with some serious performance issues.

lol willy world

No real beef with TW3, from what I've played it's actually much better than the first two games. I just find Bloodborne to be much more enjoyable. I'm all about the gameplay in my games and Bloodborne is the clear winner between the two in that regard.

@ConanTheStoner: @SolidGame_basic:mtgs v is average and overrated , the witcher 3 is vastly superior in every way

Mario Maker for my money and time!

I was not really all that into MGSV but I still wanted to force my way through it because I've been a fan of the series since it was on the NES, and as soon as Mario Maker came out I never picked MGSV back up.

I think the only thing that will make me put it down is Halo 5.

@SolidGame_basic: How Yoshi spends his free time is none of our business. If he wants to go to Willy World, more power to him.

#DamnAutoCorrect

lol teh kiddy game!!11

Overall: nope, not a chance, especially when games like TW3 and MGSV currently exist.

Exclusive wise: Now there's a bigger possibility with that title and this game going hand in hand.

That's cool.

MGSV has superb gameplay. TW3 has subpar gameplay. These are video games, so that must count for something.

Maybe?

I like it more than The Witcher 3, that I got bored of and haven't gone back to. I enjoy Metal Gear Solid 5 and Rocket League the most this year so far, and I'm about to get into Ori and The Blind Forest, Undertale, and Soma soon. With me having high expectations for Ori and Soma.

No and don't presume that everyone is on your side either.

MGSV had some pretty awful mission design(especially side ops) and really bad AI in a lot of places. Also, the skulls were never fun to fight or hide from. all of these games have their glaring flaws in the gameplay department. While the Witcher 3's combat wasnt amazing, I never felt it was in the way or flat out bad like it was in Witcher 2.

I've already been to the future and I can tell you that there's no way Halo 5 won't outclass Bloodborne.

That is The Witcher 3 for me.

Eh I think the AI is actually fine for what the mechanics are going for, in terms of needing to dick around with them.

I'd say the larger issue for that AI is that there is no proper difficulty settings for the game. If you could play that game on Hard, Extreme, Subsistence with the proper adjustments made the AI's annoyances become less of an issue.

Agreed on the side ops complaint mission design wise, disagree on main missions sans, maybe not awful, but episode 31, none of the missions in Chapter 2 were actually all that interesting to play. 43 is a mixed bag, 45 or 46 is lolfuckoff territory. Semi-agree on the skulls. Fighting them? **** those assholes. Sneaking by them? Especially the snipers, that felt badass.

Yeah, definitely man. The more I play MGSV, the more my bitch list grows.

Though the sniper skulls do make up the best sniper fight in the series (if you don't just skip them lol) and the armored skulls on extreme aren't a bad fight at all.

But yeah, MGSV is hella flawed.

That said, when some dude tells me that TW3 is better than MGSV in every way? Well no, that's just some bullshit. MGSV's core gameplay is ace, the same can not be said of TW3. Which is why I'm still playing MGSV and can't bring myself to push on in TW3.

I'd disagree with the sentiment, though I'm guessing my choice when it is all said and done will be in a very small minority. And that's okay.

It's questing also isn't exactly some divine work of excellence either, but to its credit it's able to hide the fact that you're hunting ghoul #12 or Griffon #6 (hyperbole, calm the **** down) by giving each and every little side quest some kind of story, some kind of context. Which helps sells the bigger world and plot in the experience, and frankly it does it a lot better than Bethesda has even pretended to. The Witcher 3 breaks immersion when something gamey comes up or there is a glitch lol, and there is a shit ton of them.

Bethesda games since Oblivion? So fucking poorly written from how their world is constructed, to their lore, their npcs, to any internal logic in that world. Shit is just there for the sake of someone to say how long their games are.

The Witcher 3 to its credit has that Rockstar level of detail, whatever disagreement with the gameplay, I think that world design right now is second to none. But yeah definitely with you on the gameplay lol.

**** sniper skulls, i just called in a LAV and drove past them. lol

TW3 is my GOTY. The combat isn't amazing, but the world, characters, and story more than make up for it.

I had Bloodborne for a little bit but didn't care too much for it. Idk, I still think Demons' Souls was the best one of those games.

Which is what makes it frustrating man. It seems to be the problem with a lot of big games lately, MGSV included. The fact that they'll go out of there way to nail some things so well, only to completely drop the fucking ball on some common sense shit.

Yeah I cheesed that shit on my first run through. I just went down to that stream, ran right on past them and then climbed the cliffs.

Last night I decided to clear all the objectives on that mission though, so taking out the skulls was part of the deal. It was actually pretty damn cool man. It's not even supposed to be a boss fight, but it ended up being one of the better boss fights in the game. It also makes extracting Code Talker way the **** cooler, because you actually have a search party after you instead of a bunch of zombies.

Now the extreme version of that mission? Taking on four snipers that can kill you with one shot? Yeah, that's some bullshit.

You always do can we agree threads....no we can't!

Unfortunately for Bloodborne, we got MGSV this year.

Love Bloodborne and it would probably be my second choice behind MGSV, but there is no contest between the two games for me: MGSV is just the clear GoTY for me even with it's annoyances. The game really is just THAT good.

5. ?????????

4. The Witcher 3

3. Bloodborne

2. MGSV

1. Undertale

Undertale is absolutely amazing. Play it first.

SOMA no contest.

It is for me. Witcher 3 is quite frankly so boring I am having issues with motivation to finish it. Combat also sucks compared to Bloodborne. I didn't play MGSV due to not playing the previous games.

No. The Witcher 3, still.
