Now I'm playing FarCry 4, another very awesome game (voted for Dragon Age but feel this is just as good)!
Good to know, I got it as an X-mas gift but haven't started playing it yet.

Obvious bias is obvious.I didn't pick Forza Horizon 2 just because it's an Xbox game. I picked it because it was the only game on the list given that was my game of the year. I haven't played all those games, so there is no way I could have picked some of them. At the time Andy posted the list:

So I had to choose between Titanfall and Forza Horizon 2 on that list. I found FH2 to be the better of the two by a landslide. Since then, I have played more of FarCry 4 and I have bought and just started Sunset Overdrive. I still am giving the nod at this time to FH2.
Even of the games that are NOT on the list that are on PS4 and multiplatform, FH2 still takes my top spot.

Ok, poll is closed. Forza wins for Union GOTY. DA:I and Forza kept trading off for the lead, but Forza pulled ahead at the last minute. Here is the final ranking:
1. Forza Horizon 2 (18 )
2. Dragon Age: Inquisition (17)
3. Alien: Isolation (8 )
4 and 5. Mordor and Titanfall (tie, 6)
6 and 7. Destiny and Wolfenstein (tie, 5)
8 and 9. Bayonetta and Sunset Overdrive (tie, 4)
10. Far Cry 4 (3)
Forza Horizon 2, we'll deserved and my vote...and I own a PS4 too, sorry to put a crinkle in these ignorant theories of fanboyism. Nothing mediocre about this title whatsoever, best racer I've played since PGR2 and I've played almost all between.
Keep going & you will soon again be in group BGiantbomb didn't even have Forza Horizon 2 in their top 10. Man you people will vote for mediocrity as long as it's XBox exclusive.

Your clearly devastated that people love a game that you don't, why don't you suck it up and get on with it instead of attacking peoples opinion any chance you can get, and it isn't tied to this thread either. I just think you don't like any Xbone exclusives?
Forza 5 and Titanfall are the best next gen (current gen) console exclusives IMO. I may not like where the XBox brand is headed (neither should you) but it had the better first year as far as console exclusives go.
What don't you like about where it is headed? The initial reveal and the first 6 months definitely could of been handled better and should have been as powerful as PS4 but i reckon Phil has got them on the right track and focusing on games which is what is winning for the PS4.
Baseless speculation presented as fact. It isn't so.I can't stand the XBox's demographic. MS is targeting the 13 - 16 year old age range. Sony is targeting a more mature demographic, of which I am a part of.

1) MS wasn't built to compete from a position of weakness. Their first/second party was decimated in 2013 when Bungie left, Epic decided to leave the Gears of War franchise, and MS closed a smattering of in house development studios. MS then decided to invest into a variety of new studios. If you do the research on these new studios, you'll see they aren't built to produce anything meaningful for quite some time. I know that sounds fanboyish, but there is truth there. MS was going to succeed by leading in install base and securing 3rd party exclusives. When you neuter a companies 1st and 2nd party studios and approach 3rd parties from a position of weakness, it's not a good sign.
2) I can't stand the XBox's demographic. MS is targeting the 13 - 16 year old age range. Sony is targeting a more mature demographic, of which I am a part of.
3) Lastly, I'm not particularly thrilled with MS's approach to this industry. Xbox management has been in upheaval for the past two years. They don't treat independent developers exceptionally well. They don't support a creative games culture in general. I don't like the reputation MS has built in dealing with their content creators. I know Sony is just as slimy as MS (as all mega corporations are) but Sony just seems to have more of a gaming culture further back in their roots than MS.
Don't get me wrong, there's also a lot to like about the Xbox brand but I just can't get past the above like so many of you here can.
