2015 was kind of a slow year for gaming for me. I hope to change that in 2016. Anyway, for what it's worth, here's what I played:
Xbox 360: It was the year of Batman for me. I played Arkham Asylum, Lego Batman, Lego Batman 2 and finished them, and started Arkham City and Lego Batman 3. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed Arkham Asylum, and I'm proud to say I got all the Riddler Challenges on my own. One good thing about not having internet at home for a bit, no temptation to find a walkthrough when the going gets tough.
I also played 2/3 of Assassin's Creed (the first one). We all know what's wrong with the game, but I love the setting. Since there was so much wash, rinse, repeat repetitiveness to the missions, I broke it down into chunks and went on to something else when I started getting bored and/or annoyed. I really need to go back soon and finish, just to get it off Mt. Backlog and finish the story.
The Maw and Lego Star Wars the Complete Saga got finished after having sat uncompleted on Mt. Backlog for years. I got the dlc levels for The Maw, but I see why they got dropped from the finished game. I may not play them. I had to resort to a walkthrough for Lego Star Wars TCS to get me past the point I'd been stuck at for years. I still haven't 100 percent completed the game, but I think I may be done. Maybe.
Thanks to NSonic and his Octoberween blogs, I remembered that I still hadn't played Costume Quest 2. Bought and played through and had a blast with it. I do love me some Doublefine games!
Games With Gold brought me Terraria (couldn't get into it), Dungeon Siege III (like ok, what little I played), DiRT 3 (only an ok racing game), and a few others I haven't delved into to play.
PS3: LBP Karting, Red Dead Redemption, Tales of Xillia 2, Tales of Zestiria, and Zone of the Enders HD Edition got played, along with a lot of Zen Pinball and Pinball Arcade. None of these were completed, I'm sad to say. I did, however, play through The Unfinished Swan in the last days of December. Charming little game, until the dark stages in the last part. Those were annoying.
3DS: 2015 also saw my acquision of a 3DS, thanks to the generosity of a Pixlbit friend who shall remain anonymous unless he/she chooses to say otherwise. Animal Crossing: New Leaf is a love/hate relationship. I wish it ran less on real world time and more on time I have it open. That is my biggest complaint with the AC games. I played daily from July 1 to the beginning of November, and then felt I was obsessing too much over the game and took a very long break. Now my town is full of weeds, my house has cockroaches, and people are moving away (except the one I wish would leave. He stays just to annoy me, I think). Fantasy Life was the other biggie. I played the heck out of that game for quite a while, and then real world stuff intruded. I need to go back, I want to max out a bunch of my lives on there and finish the main story. I also bought Bravely Default, played it for several hours, and then got distracted. I don't remember anything from the story, so I might just as well restart the whole thing. Lego City Undercover: The Chase Begins was a fun little title that I 100% completed and will be passing along to my nephew Sawyer, if he's still interested.
So I guess the final stats are: I played 24 (possibly more, but these are the ones I remember playing) games and finished eight. As for what I bought in 2015...I haven't the slightest clue off the top of my head, but it wasn't nearly as many as in the past.
did you get stuck in Zestiria? I haven't played it for a while, but xmas got in the way. I've resolved to finish some games from last year, including Dragon Age, Zestiria, Arkham Knight, etc.
No, didn't get stuck, real life just got in the way.
stupid real life!!! 
You might actually like Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer because it doesn't run on a real world clock like New Leaf does.
I counted and I beat about 16 games this year. I don't think that's too bad.
Your review of Happy Home Designer does have me intrigued. And like I said, AC is kind of a love/hate thing. More love than hate, though.
Sixteen is a very good number.
I still love the setting of the first AC game. I finished Arkham City back during the summer I think, I had a lot of fun with that one and the dlc.
The first AC has one of my favorite gaming moments. When you crest the rise just before you get to Damascus and the whole city is spread out before you. It's just so pretty!
If you like that time period and setting, I recommend Judith Tarr's fantasy novels Alamut and The Dagger and the Cross. They are follow ups to her medieval trilogy The Hound and the Falcon, but they can stand on their own, too.
I liked what little I played of Arkham City before I got distracted by the 3DS that arrived in the mail.
I'd say 2015 was pretty good for you. You finished way more games than I did. I loved playing Batman AA but I didnt get all the riddler stuff, and I have the strategy guide!
I'm good at ferreting out clues, and crawling around in hidden areas rewarded me with maps that helped show where the challenges could be found.
Yeah...I do remember that!...I used the maps too and it was fun....some of the maps would show you right on top of a riddle thing and it wouldnt be there, unless you looked up, down, sideways...that was fun. I just gave up after awhile
There was one that drove me nuts, I knew it had to be right there, but I spent the whole game looking for it. It was one of the first ones I came across, but it was the absolute last one I found. I was taking it personally at that point.
Lol....that's funny
2015 was the year I wanted to at least try and complete every game I played. 2016 is going to be totally different. I'm going with time limits on games. When a new one comes out that I want, I'm letting go of the old one, finished or no. So I probably won't be finishing hardly anything anymore, but who cares. It's the experience that counts not gamer score or whether I "beat" the game or not. Games are so darn long these days. Who can finish them?
I feel like if I don't finish a game, I didn't get my money's worth out of it. Plus, I like the feeling of satisfaction when i finish a game.
Yea, that is a good feeling. I think i'll complete a game now only if it is really a favorite of mine. No sense pushing through a game I'm only luke warm about. That game is worth some trade money for a possibly better game.
2015 was the year of Batman for me too, because I played so much Arkham Knight. I get where people are coming from with negative reactions to that game, but I have nothing but love for it. Now if I can only earn that ONE LAST TROPHY I need to Platinum it. Stupid free flow. 
I really want to play RDR and UF, and CQ2 looked cute. I decided to make all of those abbreviations just to be annoying. I'm lazy too.
I hate real time in video games. Waiting to be able to do certain things in GTA V is annoying, not immersive. I can shoot at cops with a war helicopter or tank, but golf is only available during business hours? Fuck off.
I feel the same way about Ratchet and Clank - I only need one last thing to get the last three trophies, including the platinum. Stupid hoverboard races!
What the heck is UF? And you succeeded in the annoyance department.
Red Dead Redemption, Unfinished Swan, Costume Quest 2. Yeah, I know. It annoys me too when a gaming article I'm reading abbreviates titles before providing the full one first.
I only beat a handful of games last year because of that real life thingamabob. :)
Don't you hate when that happens?
You really can't complain when its the year of Batman. Sounds like fun. After reading what you wrote about Lego City Undercover, and I'm still in a Lego zone, I should try and finish that game next (I still call it Lego Grand Theft Auto)
I had fun with it. I wish I had a Wii U so I could play thay version, but the 3DS one was still a lot of fun.
