Because **** expecting everyone to buy all the games as soon as they come out.
Was super behind on getting far enough in the games I started playing at the end of last year to have an opinion, which is why I didn't make this thread. This thing called a relevant video might appear from me in a place I probably can't directly mention via the rules! Same rules as usual as long as 2014 is the first time you played more than say, a half hour of a game, it counts. Doesn't matter when it came out. If you played Earthbound for the first time this year, it counts, for example.
For me, Smash Bros could change at any time I guess!
1. Virtue's Last Reward
2. Shovel Knight
3. Dark Souls
4. Super Smash Bros. U
5. GTA V
6. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
7. Bayonetta 2
8. Hyrule Warriors
9. Steamworld Dig
10. Lone Survivor
1. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
2. Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
3. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD
4. Mario Kart 8
5. Kirby's Adventure Wii (Return to Dreamland)
6. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
7. The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures
8. Hyrule Warriors
9. Bayonetta 2
10. Link's Crossbow Training
I definitely couldn't place a top 10, but I would say my top 3 are Smash U, Persona 4: The Golden, and Bravely Default in whatever order strikes my mood. Those three certainly have the most hours logged, anyway.
So Anakin kneels before Monster Mash and pledges his loyalty to the graveyard smash.
1. Mario Kart 8
2. Kid Icarus Uprising
3. Fire Emblem Awakening
4. Hyrule Warriors
5. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
Although both versions of Smash are nowhere near the top, I likely wouldn't have come across Kid Icarus Uprising if not for Nintendo's huge Smash focus in 2014.

I'm genuinely surprised this isn't in my own list. Wow, I really didn't connect with large chunks of this game I guess if mindless Hyrule Warriors beat it out for me.
Mario Kart 8 (WiiU) - I had great fun with this, especially when me, my brother, my cousins and the grandchildren all played together during christmas.
The Legend of Zelda - A Link Between Worlds (3DS) - I completely understand people not being into the renting system, but to me it was a good solution to a real problem (scripting). I also understand people not liking it because they want to have dungeons that feature multiple items, but to me, if you have an ability that is so functional to the puzzles (like the "wall merging" here) it kinda balances the lack of multiple items in puzzle solving. If you take away the map, this is the closest a new LoZ game ever got to the first LoZ game.
Steel Diver: Sub Wars (3DS) - I've put more hours into this game than I'm willing to admit. It was especially fun to play with/against japanese players and cheer up one another via morse code.
Stealth Inc. 2: A Game of Clones (WiiU) - the best thing about this game is that every set of levels requires a different item, and radically changes the gameplay mechanics. It lasts 15-20 hours and you never feel like you've done the same thing too many times. Also, the co-op mode is the best I've seen on the eShop so far.
Bayonetta (WiiU) - it basically takes everything I like about japanese action games (including the silliness) and multiplies it by 10.
999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors (NDS) - it's one of the best adventures on DS, a system which excells in the graphic adventures department, so it says a lot. I liked the characters, and the numerical nature of the puzzles was ok, though I have played better puzzles in less ambitious text adventures. The true ending was spectacular, but you have to work hard to reach it (I had to look up a guide as I was tired of playthroughs that led to failure). A good adventure.
Guacamelee: Super Turbo Championship Edition (WiiU) - I liked the addictive combat system and the clever, switch-based platforming.
Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition (3DS) - An end-of-the-year purchase that turned into one of the best games I've played this year. It's perfect for people that don't care about fighting games like me. You can perform all the difficult moves by pressing icons on the touch-screen (like in Jump Ultimate Stars). This means you can play every character from the get go without having to learn the moves -> very fun.
Super Smash Bros (WiiU) - another great "christmas at home" game, we played this and the hours just melted away.
Virtue's Last Reward (3DS) - the only game out of this list that I didn't finish because of a game save breaking bug that hit me 17 hours in. Initially I thought the new rules to the nonary games were overcomplicated and the setting not as appealing as 999. Eventually I realized that this game fixes nearly everything that didn't work with 999, especially the "start from anywhere" feature when replaying multiple times and the "archive" with all the solutions to the puzzles you've already solved. I've also come to appreciate the characters a lot. Too bad it crashed, because I feel the best was yet to come. Unfortunately, I don't see myself starting over anytime soon - I don't want to read 17 hours of dialogue I've already read, at least not in the near future.
Top-10 games I played in 2017: The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild (WiiU) - Rogue Legacy (PS3) - Fallout 3 (PS3) - Red Dead Redemption (PS3) - Guns of Boom (MP) - Sky Force Reloaded (MP) - ...

I thought it was good purely on the grounds that it changed the formula a bit. I don't think it made the game better or worse really.
1. Bayonetta 2
2. Bioshock Infinite
3, Tomb Raider 2013
4. Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
5. Grand Theft Auto V
6. Mario Kart 8
7. Super Mario 3D World
8. Hyrule Warriors
9. Mirror's Edge
And I probably missed a bunch.
