2018 Gran Turismo Sport

GTS came out in 2017 yet I'm still playing it daily, deserves the spot of 2018 for me as it keeps getting better.

Jeez I've been gaming for 40 years already. On to the next 40!

Is GT Sport that good? The online only aspect with no campaign really puts me off. I have been disappointed with the GT franchise since GT4.

If you enjoy competitive mostly clean online racing with full rooms starting every 10 minutes any time of the day then yes, it is that good.
I've completed over 3000 sport races since the game came out.

There is a campaign, sort of, plenty offline content now, yet GT AI is not competitive. Offline is for quickly making money, xp and earning cars. It's not very challenging, easiest GT to gold everything.

2002: Splinter Cell
2003: None
2004: MGS 3 (On Xbox 360, but the game came out on PS2 in 2004)
2005: Resident Evil 4
2006: New Super Mario Bros
2007: Super Mario Galaxy

2014: GTA 5 Remastered
2015: Bloodborne
2016: Uncharted 4
2017: Persona 5
2018: None yet. Planning to pick up Crash Bandicoot Switch, Spiderman, and Smash



 

 

2002: Metroid Prime
2004: Pikmin 2
2005: Paper Mario TTYD
2006: Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess
2007: BioShock
2008: Gears of War 2
2009: Batman Arkham Asylum
2010: Bayonetta
2011: Gears of War 3
2012: Dragon's Dogma
2013: The Wonderful 101
2014: Bayonetta 2
2015: Xenoblade Chronicles X
2017: DOOM



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first. 

2001: Halo: CE
2002-03 Don't remember.
2004: Halo 2
2005: Kameo
2006-07 Don't remember those years.
2008: GTA IV
2009: MW2/ Super Mario Bros Wii
2010: Black ops 1/ Minecraft (Started to get into it)
2011: Minecraft (I only played this game in 2011)
2012; Black ops 2/ Minecraft (These two games I would never get off of).
2013: GTA V/ Minecraft
2014: CS:GO/Minecraft
2015: Black ops 3/ Forza 6 (Finally got off my PC and jumped to an 8th gen console)
2016: Forza Horizon 3
2017: Playerunknowns Battlegrounds (500 hours in 1 year since its EA launch)
2018: Farcry 5/ Soon to be FH4.

I get very easily addicted to certain games, and most of these on my list I spent the entirety of that year (or more years) playing. Ignoring every other game released in that time. I don't regret any of it, I miss those days on my computer just playing CS:GO and Minecraft. Happy times.
