2015 Was a good year for gaming, because steam is finally getting all the Visual Novels.
Fault Milestones 1 & 2 were amazingggggg.

Please rephrase this using the names of wrestling moves.

I've been thinking about this. I can't do it in wrestling moves, but I can do it in wrestling storylines!
Overkill is basically Seth Rollins. We had a pretty good thing going on with the Shield Payday 2, and everyone was happy. Winning awards, extremely successful when compared to other groups. But then, Rollins decided he could do better. He didn't need to stand by his words anymore, so he sold out. Smashed their fans in the back with a steel chair (available for 5.99 or your regional equivalent) and decided that money was better than loyalty or integrity. As such, the betrayed have gone on a tear to try and destroy their betrayer. We'll, uh, get back to you on that.
Tripwire is like Daniel Bryan. See, Tripwire had a really successful game in Killing Floor, and Red Orchestra's got a pretty dedicated fanbase to boot. These were basically the Bryan Danielson days, but then he got brought up to the big leagues. PS4 launch? You got it. Coverage across E3 and all sorts of gaming blogs? Right on. Killing Floor got some criticism for the DLC practices and things that didn't seem necessary, but hey, it was a quality game. People loved it. It was successful. And then we got Killing Floor 2, and... Our champion went out injured. It was a B+, at best, when Early Access arrived, but playing it pointed out there wasn't anything there. All hope wasn't lost, though! There were updates, and it seemed like we had the true shapings of a second run on our hands... And then it went out injured again. Cash shop added. Hopes dashed. We might never see Killing Floor wrestle again. A dark day.
Fallout 4 is similar to The Ryback. Big, lacking depth, clearly unpolished and has a tendency to accidentally break things when it's running. Should probably have been kept in NXT to finish bug fixing before being shoved down our throats as the best thing ever.
Star Citizen is CM Punk. You'll never fucking see it again. (Mostly kidding about this one.)

I've been fairly satisfied with the purchases that I've made this year:
- Bloodborne
- The Witcher 3
- Fallout 4
- FFXIV: Heavensward
I do, however, miss the days of the PS1 and PS2 era where I could literally purchase a new RPG every month. It seems like there's so few RPG's being released these days - at least here in Europe.

No, it feels that way everywhere I think, except maybe Japan?
Here's a list of every game released in 2015.
I'm going to look through and see how many I actually played.

I've beaten one of those games. The list is missing some stuff, I think, but it's a good snapshot of things that got released.

I almost forgot about the Resident Evil HD Remaster. That hit me with a pretty hefty dose of nostalgia - but I'm more excited about the second game getting the same treatment since a zombie infested city is more creepy to me than a secluded mansion.
Type-0's PS4 release was a great purchase in my eyes too - I bought it on a whim (admittedly because it had 'Final Fantasy' in the title and I liked it well enough. Great music and hilariously enough many of the characters looked like different variations of Graeham. >_>

I tend to play games well after their initial release for the most part so I don't end up suffering this disappointing release thing as much. But let's be honest, mostly I'm waiting for Mother 4 to be finished and screw all over games.
(that being said, I'm enjoying playing the 3ds Xenoblade at this point, and going back to play older games like Suikoden V. I'm weird.)

2015 was a bit of a mixed bag for me. Â
I got Homeworld's remastered edition. Â The single player was great, the multiplayer port... well... I never really got it to work right. Â My sense of Nostalgia was pleased.
Elite Dangerous has continued to please. Â For all the games that say "This game looks awesome" Â I think the best thing I can say about Elite, is it sounds amazing. Â The audio really cinches the immersion. Â So many little nuances from the stressing of the hull when you try and flip the ships about to the pleasant k-thunk of the ship being released from the landing pad. Â As someone who played the old wireframe version of the game in ages past, this has amazed me on a fundamental level.
EvE Online is a constant bit of background gaming. Â I mostly just log in for my radio shows these days.Â
And, well, I was also directed to FFXIV this year. Â It may or may not have sucked all my other available gaming time away.
