          For me, it's a tie between Batman: Arkham Knight and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.

            Bloodborne - Found it really bland, a shame since I did like the Souls games. Not sure exactly what it was, it just didn't click

            MGSV - I was a big MGS fan, but this just didn't do it. I liked the relatively tight narrative of the series and this was too much open world boredom.

            The Order 1886 - This wasn't terrible, what was there I really enjoyed, it was just woefully incomplete. It felt like a demo/intro/tutorial of a really great game.

              Lol, so far two listed I loved... Arkham Knight and The Order (especially the latter). I suppose that's what makes these lists fun.

              I'll have to mull this over as nothing is immediately coming to mind.

                Batman: Arkham Knight - Weakest story of the trilogy IMO, and littered with pointless Side mission collect-athons. Oh, and the Batmobile is awful. Feels like I'm playing Transformers: War for Cybertron at points.

                Fallout 4 - Not a bad game by any means, but I played for 10 hours and don't really have a desire to return. The basebuilding/crafting systems do nothing for me. The quests also feel weaker than 3/New Vegas especially with the neverending faction Radiant quests.

                I'm tempted to put Bloodborne here too but I'm going to give it another shot soon. I loved Dark Souls 1/2, but I bounced off of Bloodborne a few hours in. Took some getting used to playing an agile character since I roll with heavy armor, greatswords, and shields in Souls games, but I mostly am not a fan of Blood vials as healing items. It punishes you too much if you get stuck at a boss fight because then you are forced to grind to get more of them. The Estus flask system is way better IMO.

                  Batman: Arkham Knight - Its bad enough that the 'final' chapter is fairly mediocre and leaves behind a lot of what made the series truly great to begin with, but then they thought it necessary to salt the wound with the terribly overpriced DLC plan.

                  Metal Gear Solid V - Ground Zeroes was interesting although overpriced and legitimately unnecessary as a stand alone release (Its obvious now Konami did it to try and recoup some expenses), but the glimpse into the open-world gameplay was intriguing. The first 20 hours of Phantom Pain is pretty top-notch, but once the side quests start to repopulate you realize how much of a grinding, repetitious bore the open-world actually is and it killed my enthusiasm relatively quickly. The story starts off strong, but gets off the rails at key points whereas traditionally that has been the series strong point.

                  I'm hesitant to call The Order a disappointment. My only complaint is I wish there was more to the game. The two games above had an abundance of content, but weren't interesting enough to warrant completing half of it. The Order is the exact opposite. I would love a sequel to go all out, but I doubt there will be another shot at this series.

                    Im glad I wasnt the only one to feel that way about Bloodborne. As much as people seem to love it I thought maybe I was losing my mind.

                      Arkham Knight was the only game I played this year that truly disappointed me.

                          Fallout 4 in all likelihood. Not sure why. It was unarguably my most anticipated game of all time, and I did put 40 hours in, but I have zero desire to return to it. Maybe the Bethesda formula has worn thin for me, but the game feels so unbelievably shallow, especially after playing a game like the Witcher.

                          Doesn't help that I honest to god hate the base building mechanic and interface.

                            I only played a handful of games in 2015 and enjoyed pretty much all of them so here's what I didn't like about each of them.

                            MLB The Show - Still no stat tracking
                            Arkham Knight - Too many tanks
                            Game of Thrones - Mediocre compared to other TellTale games I have played
                            Madden - AI roster management is still terrible
                            NBA 2K - Highlights still don't work on PS4
                            Rise of the Tomb Raider - No real complaints
                            My 2K17 Boston Celtics MyLeague

                            Alabama Crimson Tide
                            Green Bay Packers
                            Boston Celtics

                            New Orleans Pelicans

                              Fifa 16 and NBA2k16

                              Fifa even tho it plays great on the pitch it's a disaster as far as stat tracking in manager mode.

                              NBA2K16 is a good game, I respect the hell out of the developement team for there communication with there fans. But...as much content that is in the game, the control scheme for me personally is just messy and frustrating when trying to pull of plays. I've barely played 2k this year and I usually play it for hours on end.
