Anthony's top 7 good video games of 2015

Hey everyone, my name is "You know who?" and welcome back to another countdown.

Now i got the events and the movies out of the way, lets move on to the video games. The video games of 2015 is probably not as good like 2014, which some Triple A games was suffered by an microtransaction games. Yup, it will never die. Its like a disease growing bigger to kill you.

So im gonna do two parts of games, with goodness and S****yness. In first part, i pick 7 games that 've seen and played. But, some games that i haven't play, because i never got PS4 or XBOX one, i only have Wii U... ^^;

Lets start with honorable mentions. Like Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain and FNAF3 and 4.

These games are good, but it has some issues what i've heard. In Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, its one of the greatest game of 2015, but it may not the best, because of the biggest smegged up moments with Hideo Kojima and Konami.

And FNAF3 and 4 is also good. But it went down of hill that many people felt confused with the storyline of FNAF franchise. Which many people want to know who is Purple Guy, what happen to the dead children or why does the animatronics try to kill us all? Its a very complicated question of them... ^^;  Either way, hope that FNAF World will be a good one for a spin-off.

So we got them out of the way, lets get started, shall we?

Number 7: Mortal Kombat X

After 4 years of Mortal Kombat 9, NetherRealm went back to do another MK game that i was expected to be another good sequel. But when it came out, it was above average to make on the bottom of my list. One, some characters from the previous MK were absent, whether they got killed off or some character came back as an wimpy NPC like Sindel. Two, the story is not as good that we're looking for and i heard the comic version was better. And story takes you a short hours. Three, the fighting is probably average, because the background fatality was removed and you have to chose one special attack before you start fighting with your friend. And Four, the game has Microtransaction to unlock something with Koins. It also released an easy fatality with like 10$. But even worse is Goro, which you have to pre-order it to have him for free, because you don't, you're boned to waste your wallet. Despite the flaws, the game is ok, it has some cool fatality and some is pretty funny one like Cassie Cage's seflie. X3  Aside an embarrassments of DLC like unlock everything or easy fatality, the DLC fighters makes the fanboys going crazy as i am like Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th, Leatherface from Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Xenomorph from Alien, Tremor, Predator and even Tri-borg.
The game might be good, but i felt disappointed from the microtransaction and some stupid paywalls.

Number 6: Fallout 4

After Fallout 3 that is great and New Vegas is not really good. Bethesda went back in business to make a fourth one. With the result is...  It probably better than New Vegas. You play as Vault 111 where he/she looking for a missing kid and doing other mission objective, or it can do whatever it wants in post-apocalyptic game. It is fun that you can do anything you want if you wanna walking around or farming your experience to leveling up. Hey remembered a Fatman, a weapon that you can launch a nuclear bomb? Well, its because, but it might be expensive to buy it to kill as giant monster. ^^;   But the reason its on number 6, its the graphic, it feels little bit ugly to look at, its like they borrowed on previous gen consoles. And the dialogue choice like positive, negative and sarcastic wasn't as good what they expected, because if you chose your opinion in the game, the NPC characters has a same words. Couldn't Bethesda check the previous game for picking dialogue to make different before release the game? Whats even worse is the game loads, its just too long and waste our time for waiting like in the elevator.
Overall, its nice to bring back after 4 years of Fallout 3 (not New Vegas, its not that perfect to play...), but i would've release it with new mechanic and it has some glitches...

Number 5: Dying Light

When i heard about this game, i find it promising, because it was made by the same company Techland, the same guys who made Dead Island. Howver, they're not gonna made a sequel, so they let Yager and Deep Silver for making a game, until it will coming out on 2016. Oh well...
Anyway, the game was developed over 3 years. The gameplay is pretty cool that you can do a Parkour in zombie apocalypse like going on the rooftop. Its like where you mix with Assassin's Creed and Dead Island. Of course like Dead Island, you can craft your weapon to be stronger to defend yourself from zombies which its pretty hard for that, so you have to take your time to leveling up. Until you get a better one like guns or even upgrade your ability, including a hilarious jump kick. XD  But what it suffered on number 5, its the story, which is the most weakest of all. You're playing as Kyle Crane who lives in Zombie apocalypse to fight over Kadir "Rais" Suleiman because he thinks "Ur nota a Mayun!!". Which he's the most cliche bad guy in the game. Couldn't the writer make him something original than being generic? And the ending is probably the worst part, because you're fighting with Rais in a stupid Quick-time event. Another thing that suffered is that the game has a technical problem with glitches and a game crash. (depending what kind platform you're playing)


Number 4: Disney Infinity 3.0

Ok, i know lot of people said that its not as good what they were expected. But its only my opinion of this game. Its pretty fun to play a game with a figurines come to life since Skylanders. But it includes Star Wars (because of The force awakens), some others in Marvel and even my fav film of 2015 Inside-out. :)  Much like the previous games, you can go anywhere in the game for racing, battling and going in platform of adventure. But you need to build your own level to appealing the players what they want. For adding bonus, Avalanche software released an expansion pack like a racing pack and Toy Box Takeover. But what it bothers me when it came out is the Playstation's Star Wars Saga Bundle that its just expensive with 120$! This isn't fair! Why can't this thing should be priceless like 75$? Only EA (aka "Eat Ass" that i like to call) can make an expensive price to give a S*** on gamers and fans!
Ok, i should not make another rant, or else il lose my mind in 2016.  Overall, the game is pretty fun to play with your fav figurine characters, but i swear they should release a PS version to never gave a crap on fans like me...

Number 3: Rocket League

This is pretty fun and creative when it come with cars and soccer, without a license of FIFA. In this game, you can customizing your car with flag and decals to looking cool. Then, its obviously a soccer match with cars. Your objective is to hit the big ball to the goal to have a more points. If its a tie, it goes into a Sudden Death match, which is intense. 0_0  And thats pretty much to say, the game developer Psyonix did a creative job when it comes to an indie game with Playstation 4 and PC. Speaking of platforms, the game has an online crossover between PS4 and PC, which is innovative for online game. If you play on Offline, it might be getting old and repetitive, but it can help for your practice for your stunt of hitting the ball to the goal. So, you can take you time for your own skills to play soccer.
Rocket League is a fun game that i wish i could play on PS4 or PC. Its creative and fun.

Number 2: Super Mario Maker

Nintendo, you have a sense of creativity to bring back an NES classic. Super Mario Maker is a type of game that you like to create your own level. Some levels is pretty easy and simple or some that is incredibly hard that only MLG gamer can do that. 0_0 You can not only play Mario, but also play the other characters, including the inklings from Splatoon. :D  And thats pretty much to say, because there a plenty of levels that you can try to beat it. But the reason why its not number one, its the price, i mean seriously!? It costs 70$ for a new game?! This isn't fair, because i had no enough money that i want play! XC Ok, not really, because i am right now have like 450$ to get this game, because it was first impression when it came out... ^^;
Overall, the game itself is fun to making your own level with a nostalgia graphics. ^^

And my number one game of 2015 goes to...



Number 1: Splatoon

Yup, another Nintendo game on the top. ^^  Splatoon is also a fun game and its also known as a non-violent version of Call of Duty, but at least its better than COD, because COD is overrated. In the game, you playing an humanoid squid known as the Inkling. The most common about this game is playing on Multiplayer Online with 4 vs 4. In regular match, you can only play on Turf War match, the goal is to cover the map with your ink, until your foes will kill you in the same way. In rank match, there only three. One was called "Rainmaker", you have to grab a Rainmaker to your enemy basement to beat them, its kinda like "Capture the flag" in opposite direction. The second one called "Tower Control", its same as before, but all players have to stay in the tower to beat their opponents. And finally there's "Splat Zone", its basically a "King of the hill" match, but with inks to tone down the limit. You can customizing your outfits for the abilities, when it was leveled up, it can give you a random award of special ability. And you can also buy any weapons like Splattershot, an Ink roller, an Inkbrucher, an Ink charger (aka Sniper Ink), an Ink bucket and even an Ink chain-gun. These weapons have special attacks like the Wail killer, Inkzooka, Inkstrike, echolocation and throwing a multiple of bombs. Now i never mentioned about the campaign because i never cared about, but i actually beat it. (almost... ^^;) In the campaign called "Octo Valley", you're playing as a savior Inkling to fight over Octarians force is capturing The Great Zapfish, because the boss of Octorians need more power to taking over the Inkling. No to mention, you can also find a sunken scroll, to reveal the backstory with Inkling and Octorians. If you complete the game you will get a new weapons and new outfits. But i think you if you complete it in 100% to collect all those sunken scrolls, you will get a replica weapons of Octolings and a Inkling hero. Not only the same price of 70%, but because the game is popular, the game may never work the server, so you better have to wait until its available or fixed. I always love and play this game every days. Which i was trying to leveling up and buying any weapons and outfits for my collection. So hopefully they're gonna make a sequel of if that not only we can play as Inkling, but also Octolings. It should have more more outfits like pants and even a customization weapons. So, only Nintendo well tell in the future. And that makes my good reason why its on my number one good game of the year. ;)

So this ends of the first part of video game. So until tomorrow or next time, il make my list which games that it has a messed up release with disappointments and a broken down game.

Thanks for reading, and im Anthony, signing out. ;)
