2015....What a year for gaming eh? Went by a lot faster than I expected but still, it was a pretty awesome year for gamers! Many great games were released as well as some...not so great games, but at the very least, the great ones were really, really great. There was one in particular though that was my favorite game of 2015 though and it rose above the rest to my spot of Game of the Year. Which game was that?

 

Well, without further ado and dilly-dallying, here is my Game of the Year for 2015:


Forza Motorsport 6 (Xbox One)

Forza Motorsport 6 is, as you may know, a racing game. What? A racing SIM as my Game of the Year!!? What madness Kyoshi! You crazy pony! I might be crazy, yes, but I cannot deny the brilliance that is this game and franchise. Froza 5 was the game that made me love the Racing Sim genre and to me, no other game does it better. What Forza 5 lacked, Forza 6 came along and improved it in nearly every aspect. One could say that this is the game that Forza 5 SHOULD have been.

 

Forza 6 is a racing game that gives you so much content. It sports 26 different tracks, night and rain racing, over 500(!) cars to race with, tune and even paint to your liking. All of this has extreme detail with fully detailed interiors, realistic looking tracks and a buttery smooth 60FPS framerate and in 1080p. So not only is this a pinnacle racing title but it shows what the Xbox One can do in the right hands. There are a few shortcomings, such as lack of Multi-Class options or Multi-Class racing at all online which Forza 5 did have and the online is still problematic in many ways, and there are not as many rain and night tracks as I would have hoped for, but the ones that are here are fantastic.

 

With all of that though, Forza 6 still rises above itself and makes for an addicting and even relaxing racing experience. If you own an Xbox Own and have any interest in racing like this, I highly suggest giving it a look. It is worth every penny.

 

Honorable Mentions:


Elite Dangerous (Xbox One)

 


And there you have it. That was my Game of the Year for 2015! ^__^ I hope you all enjoyed reading this, took me a bit to get it up but I finally got to it. What was YOUR game of the year? I made a thread for just that in the Media Discussion section. Let me know what else you think below!

 

Thank you all so much for reading! This is Krazy Kyoshi, as some might think me as, signing out!

Undertale's my GOTY, but I did go over to a friends house and played Forza. It was actually a lot of fun, and I don't even like racing games (except Mariokart, yes, i'm a masochist).

I dont mean to hate, but really? I respect your opinion and all,but have you seen any Top 10 games for 2015 list as of recently? I grantee you, that Forza isnt on the list.

Actually, you would be surprised. Forza is a highly regarded and renowned sports game. Even I, a person who avidly hates sports based games, enjoy Forza and Gran Turismo. As far as racing games go, Forrza is a real game changer too. No offense to you, I'm just saying. XD

 

My Game of the year for 2015 isn't Forza either actually. I have to say, the best game to release in 2015 for me is Fallout 4

As a racing sim, Forza 6 is one of the best ever made. IT has incredible graphics, countless cars to choose from and the attention to each of them is amazing. It has settings for all types of players and the leveling system is near perfection and eliminates stress, plus there is the rewind feature. I personally don't care what other lists have, Forza 6 is an incredible game to me and deserves the recognition.

Yeah...

 

I'm sorry, but Forza and Gran Turismo can barely call themselves sims. Flashy graphics and a substantial car list is no match for a proper physics engine and a more dedicated community.

Not a full on sim, but it is still in that genre. I am not debating whether or not it is the deepest sim out there, I really don't care if it is or not. I really enjoy the game and that's what matters to me. It has tons of great features, let's me paint any of the cars to my liking and is accessible to all types of players. I will take that over the deepest racing sims any day.

Forza 6 deserves all the credit it can get :D incredible game.

 

My personal GOTY though would be Rainbow Six Siege. It had bugs, matchmaking issues, a few odd little balancing problems and generally had a classic Ubi$oft launch. Then why is it my GOTY if it's so bad?

 

Because it's addicting. When you judge a game on what it does have rather than what it does not, that is when Siege elevates to a whole new level of quality game design. The AI is fantastically done, there is a TON of variation and replayability due to the unparalleled destruction and map design, and each operator feels unique and useful in their own ways making for NEW gameplay experiences each time you switch character.

 

So yeah, based solely on all that, its my GOTY :P and before I get the whole "why not Witcher? why not Fallout?" I dont like RPGs
