Is 2015 the best year in gaming ever?

2015 has seen some very good games for example, Bloodborne, The Witcher 3, Dying Light, Arkham Knight, and later on in the year we shall see Rise of the Tomb Raider, Shadow Warrior 2, Halo 5, Fallout 4.

best year for false promises.

Of course its MGS5: Phantom Pain

:)

@SolidGame_basic: no 2013 will always be the best. there were like 20 legit masterpieces that year

1998 and 2004 bitches.

1998.

2015 hyperbole to impress young people, waste of time.

This thread is over one month old.

No, but imagine if the games that have been pushed back to 2016 hadn't... With Zelda U, NMS and FFXV, if they end up being amazing games, this year could have been a candidate for GoAT

Nonetheless it's a great year, and FFS I am so going to play The Witcher 3 and Bloodborne when I get a PS4. I might even play MGSV even though I've never played anything from that series before.

Nope. Gaming still pretty much sucks right now. I'm just playing lots of old games, the new ones are terrible.

If Zelda, Unreal Tournament and Overwatch would arrive this year, I might change my mind.

Nope, just as awful as last year.

lol, when were you born?

• Bloodborne 9/10
• TW3 crap
• MGSV 10/10
• Halo 5 crap
• Black ops every year/crap
• MKX crap
• Batman AK crap
• Persona 5 could be 2016 10/10
• Fallout 8/10
• Xenoblade crap

Best year for announcement for sure but not games. Resident Evil 2R, Shenmooooooo 3 and FFVIIR assured that.

This is a pretty empty year for me so no. Last year was better.

The reason why 2015 looks "great" is because last year was way too pathetic.

2015, 1998 and 2004 are pretty much tied for best year.

This is a solid year but there is much better. The Witcher 3, Batman Arkham Knight, and MGS 5 are making a strong case for this year but I need alittle bit more high quality. But it is a good start.

I'd say so I've been saying it for awhile. Bloodborne, Witcher 3 and Batman:AK have all been great games for me so far and MGS5 and Halo 5 are yet to come.

I looked at the three years that you loved that 2007 year is the one that stands out the most but 1998 is the most magical year.

@360ru13r: People are just living off Nostalgia. 1998 was an outstanding year in gaming but the time in effort it takes to put out games today is far beyond what it took then.

@AM-Gamer: well in 1998's defense you got Marvel vs Capcom which was the start of a great fighting game dynasty; StarCraft which would end up becoming a RTS game that everything wanted to be; Grand Tursimo would be a defining racing sim; Banjo Kazooie, a beloved platformer. The point is while the nostalgia glasses are on there are lots of valid reasons for said glasses. Good quality gaming there that still holds up to this day.

@360ru13r: It was an Absolutely amazing year no doubt. It's just so hard to meet expectations today and alot of games have done it. MKX, Bloodborne, TW3, MGSV . Batman: AK was considered disappointing here at GS but many still enjoyed it. I just think this year should definitely be in consideration. At least that's what my wallet tells me. I bought many games this year and really haven't been disappointed.

lol, no.

1998 may never be topped.

1998, 2004 and 2007 are better. 2016 will probably be better as well, best year of the gen imo.

MGSV and Bloodborne will go down as some of my favorite games of all time though, MGSV might even make my top 5 favorite games ever after I play it. Rocket League is also GOAT material.

+1 , however the best year for me was 2004

1998, 2004 and 2007 all stand out as better to me.

It's been a good year and it's getting better. Not sure if it's the best, but it's up there.

Not even close... not even close.

I would rather have a basket full of 7's-9's that interest me rather than a small handful of 10's sprinkled with dog shit.

How do you guys remember these gaming timelines? Only year I recall is 2004 because of the 2K5 sports lineup lol.

look dude..... 2011 was by far the best recent.

Skyrim and obviously definitely without a doubt Dark Souls.

Persona 5 is probably my most anticipated exclusive on any platform.

@SolidGame_basic: At least it's a good year. But without the information like the good games of the last years listed, I can't judge if it's the best year.

I would say one of the best. I have a few games in standby because there's simply not enough time for everything i want to play.

You must be 12 for thinking that's something cool to say.

This year and era have been fantastic!

OP..you crazy? 2015 the best year in gaming?? WTF..lol..

Well original IPs keeps the industry going, try to keep track of how many relevant franchises had their first game started in a certain year

For example, in 2007:

Mass Effect, Crysis, The Witcher, Bioshock, STALKER, Assassin's Creed, Portal, Supreme Commander, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, you can even make the argument for COD 4: Modern warfare (absolute game-changer).

2015 can hardly compare to that.

Not so sure bro.. UC1 was nice short little game. I enjoyed it.. but emmm comparing that to Fallout 4 or MGSV is lol. Assassins Creed was terrible game ehh.. I think MGSV is probably bigger than all those games combined. But if you wanna compare individually i say Witcher 3>Witcher 1 lol.

One of the best... not thee~ however

It's a good year for gaming but not the best year, that's for sure.

1985, 1991, 1997, 1998, 2001, 2004, 2007 were all better years.

That said, 2015 is still a good year.

Easily with just the Witcher 3 and MGS5. I don't know what you people see in fallout but count that in that's 3 massive games.

with all these 10's, according to gs it is. ive never played any of the 10's other than journey (but that was on ps3) so i cant speak. my fav has to be 04 though

would a persona 5 western release make a difference?

@jsmoke03: A little bit. I mean, if you think about it, Witcher, Bloodborne, Monster Hunter, Splatoon, Rocket League, Metal gear, we already have some good shit, but it's not on the same level as other great years in the past is the problem.

Maybe the best this gen but there have been a lot more better years then this.

I wouldn't stack this year up against 2010, and 2010 was the best year of gen 7, not fucking 2007.

Every new year people ask this question. For me, it's 1994. '95, '97, '98, '01, '02, '04, '10, and '11 were also very good.

The second half seems to be catching a lot of ground. But so far, the only games I have purchased this year are Elder Scrolls Online and GTA V. It could've been better in my opinion.

fallout is set to release as well. tomb raider and halo 5 could be something as well. i think ppl are automatically writing this year off. as i said, i havent tried too many of this years game....but on paper, this looks like an awesome year, score wise. but i was seeing if p5 would hype this year up for you more since you made a thread about p5 not ever releasing lol
