What is SW's top game from the past 5 years?

The Last of Us. Easy choice.

Fallout:NV

John Marstin'

Either Xenoblade, Bravely Default, Danganronpa 1 and 2, Virtues Last Reward or Rayman Origins

Portal 2.

Super Smash Bros. Wii U

The choices in the poll are GOTY winners from GS and IGN within the last 5 years. I'm surprised Journey won.

I like your style.

I played the Rayman Origins demo fairly recently. It was a blast. I'm waiting for a sale and I'm going to grab it(I'm a cheapskate.)

Those options are all terrible except Portal 2 and ALBW simply because it's a LTTP clone.

I foresee "other" winning this poll.

I'm not kicking it off the list that easily, so honorable mention aka 11) Spelunky

10) Rayman Origins

9) The Swapper

8) Deus Ex Human Revolution

7) Persona 4 Golden

6) Tearaway

5) Virtue's Last Reward

4) Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors

3) Dark Souls

2) Metal Gear Rising

1) Super Mario Galaxy 2

Diablo 3

LOL

Yep, over 4000hrs played and still fun to play. No other game comes even close to that...

metro redux

far cry 3

wolfenstein the old blood

dying light

Persona 4 Golden, if it counts. If it does not count, A Link Between Worlds, Splatoon, Mario Kart 8, Smash Wii U, Cvilization V, and Bloodborne would all get a shout.

The Last of Us. I thought it was going to be tougher to choose one.

The Witcher 2: Enhanced Edition (PC).

Batman Arkham City

Diablo 3 is great game. There is a reason why people played Diablo 2 for over a decade. Blizzard games have a lot of replay value.

Other, I haven't owned a Sony console since the PSP and the multi-plats aren't the best games. Though I did enjoy Skyrim (best recent game for modding), Portal 2 and Shadow of Mordor.

My favourite game of the last 5 years is Total War: Shogun 2 and my game of the moment is The Witcher 3

Red Dead Redemption was pretty much the game I'd been waiting for for the best part of 30 years.

So true

Dark Souls 2

Dota 2 = Art style, sound design, replayability, established history, mod-friendly, depth, professional scene, amount of teaching tools, huge community, multi-culturalism and language simulator.

It's free-to-play perfected to a science. Nothing is hidden behind a paywall and outside of ranked queus all game modes are available from the moment you first load the game.

IT IS NOT newcomer friendly and assholes are given every tool to express their assholery but thankfully you can mute everyone and anyone.

1. TLOU
2. The Witcher 3
3. Skyrim

They are terrible options, but it's what GS and IGN chose as their GOTY over the last 5 years.

People are still under the impression D3 is still the same as it was at launch, so it still receives hate.

From 2010 to now?

1. Bayonetta
2. Dark Souls
3. Super Meat Boy
4. Super Street Fighter 4
5. Super Mario Galaxy 2
6. SpaceChem
7. Fallout New Vegas
8. Hotline Miami
9. XCom: Enemy Unknown
10. Amnesia: The Dark Descent

Bayonetta was 2009, bro

2010 Jabroni, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayonetta

Came out the same month as Mass Effect 2. Trust me there were a lot of fun GUFU threads from 2010.

Probably TLOU or Demon's Souls. (Sony FTW, I guess).

The Last of US.

Too little, too late.

Crusader Kings 2. EU4 is better in many ways, but the role-playing elements, intrigue, and succession laws really make CK2 different to and somehow better than every other strategy game I've ever played. Even the awful amount of DLC is forgivable in my eyes, since the game gets regularly updated to the point where it's far superior to the original version even without purchasing any DLC, plus it fairly regularly gets marked down by 75%.

Ah. Damn, 2010 was a beast year then.

Either Mass Effect 3 or Red Dead... Ahhhhhh I can't choose!

Probably ME 3.

SMG2.

SMG2 easily.

Then Dark Souls, then everything else.

Yeah,,, it's completely different game now. IMO even on launch it wasn't a bad game. It was a very good game but not 'Blizzard-Good'. Now it's excellent in its current state. And TBH, when something becomes famous, it also gets a lot of hate for no reason, no matter how good it is.

It's not like they release sequels every year. They take their time even with expansions and get it right. When something isn't as good as expected, they improve it with updates like Diablo 3. That's symbol of a good team IMO, who doesn't want to be remembered as devs of a mediocre game. That's the reason why they aren't afraid to cancel projects if they fail to live up to expectation, even if it means loss of millions of dollars.

Mass Effect

Mass Effect 3, Zero Escape: Virue's Last Reward, Persona 4 Golden, Bravely Default, The Last of Us, Deus Ex HR, Batman Arkham City, Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, Hyrule Warriors, Fire Emblem Awakening

Winner: Dark Souls

SMG2 for sure so other I guess.

Destiny

Farcry 3

The Stanley Parable

Max Payne 3

Last of Us

Mass Effect 3

I raids were good in MOP so WOW (still)

Infamous Second Son

Rocket League (once they fix the lag issue)

Civ V

SHOGUN 2

Other: Donkey Kong Country Returns

It's the best platformer ever created

Dark Souls

Yeah I am going to have to say this from a SW perspective.. This game was released on multiple platforms and has reached wide acclaim to the point that people still play it to death to this day..

• Fallout: New Vegas
• Dark Souls
• Super Meat Boy
• Bayonetta
• Super Mario Galaxy 2

Shadow of Mordor really stands out on that list as a trash game. I guess TLOU is the correct answer, but voted for RDR, because I saw a really cool Morricone montage the other day.

Edit: here it is 3>
