Battlefield 1, DOOM, Final Fantasy XV, Pokemon Sun & Moon, and Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse are my votes.

I see someone else with good taste voted for SMTIV:A. Lots of fantastic games this year, it'll be interesting to see what makes it to the next poll. Pokemon will likely sweep though.

Odin Sphere came out on PS2 and Twilight Princess HD is a HD remake.
Should those remakes/reissues/remasters really be in the list?
I mean, they aren't new games.

Anyway, voted.

As stated in my review of the game, Odin Sphere is more than the average HD remake, adding in enough changes to be a new experience. TP:HD gets the spot because Nintendo isn't that big on HD remakes, and the site has gotten flak for not having enough Nintendo representation before so I wanted to be as inclusive as possible. Otherwise we would have had to add in Yokai Watch 2 as a choice and no one wanted that.

Diamond and Pearl were the worst pokemon games imo, i actually enjoyed S&M quite a bit. Everyone is entitled to their opinion though I agree DOOM was pretty good though

Huh, Nate is in the pic but Yo-Kai Watch 2 is nowhere to be found on the list. *ironically votes for no man's sky*

What why? Diamond and Pearl are actually my favorite pokemon games.

idk, whenever I tried to start playing one of them, I just became uninterested and i'd stop playing it. I've played through every other pokemon game besides D/P

Not to completely derail the thread but...eh, why not. DPPT had an awesome soundtrack, a good region, decent Pokemon, and a good amount of things to do. (Underground 4 lyfe)

However, I think what holds it back the most is the sluggish battle system. D/P/Pt/HG/SS were all fantastic games imo but that darn gen 4 engine is a blight to humanity (at least slow 2D is better than frame dropping 3D, I'm looking at you, sun and moon. So a lot of people wound up giving up on the games which is a shame. Even if DP got a remake on 3DS, it'd retain a janky battle system. We can pray for an optimized switch version one day...perhaps.

Selection of 50 games from a fairly tepid year in gaming, still better than yo kai watch 2?

 

[keven3477]

Unfortunately I haven't played spirit of justice yet so I cant vote for that, so far my picks were Fire Emblem fates, overwatch, zero time dilemma, and sun/moon.
