WTH? KH3 or FFXV should be up top. Japan needs to get their priorities straightened out.

Do I even want to know what new love plus+ is

Be glad that they're at least high because if those vote was for US and Europe we would see nothing but Call of Duty and an endless flood of shooters filling the list with KH3 and FFXV being nowhere to be seen

conducting research.......researching.....researching.....results found.

Agreeable. Though I still play couple shooters once in a while, I have huge interest in adventure, RPGs and games like that. Sad that Call of Duty is still popular even though Ghosts screwed up.

Dude humanity is known for repeating the same mistakes over and over again

 

Even if Activision delivered a literal turd instead of the game's disc....they'll end up buying it anyway because it's Call of Duty

 

Heck just look at EU top lists,it consist of nothing but multiple versions of call of duty,do they buy the game twice or they buy three copies every day?

Yeah, I was able to realize that pattern and left CoD. Same thing over and over again. I knew Ghosts never improved, but now Activision is saying "Guess what? next CoD game will be for only PC, and Next Gen, screw past generation."Meh, we see about that.

Well, at least FFXV and KHIII are on the list so that's good for now.

Well you have to keep in mind with the voting that #1 had 500 votes. Not a huge amount of people so I don't know if this is accurate?

It makes complete sense that they're not making the new CoD on the PS3. They have to stop a some point...Might as well get it over with.

 

 

Plus it allows the game to look even better since it will be designed specifically for next-gen and not both.

That's what I heard from Activision, but even though they improve dramatically, the players will never change.

Oh God, New Love Plus+...

Persona 5 is gonna rock, but I wouldn't rate it above Kigdom Hearts III

Oh God, New Love Plus+...

Isn't it a series that started on PSP somewhere between 2009-2010??

 

Anyway,still much better than Flappy Bird

Isn't it a series that started on PSP somewhere between 2009-2010??

Nintendo DS

 

It boggles my mind that they're actually making a sequel to possibly one of the least-selling games to ever exist.

 

And that guy in the vid said "I'll never cheat on her!" (If you haven't watched it, he literally legally married a damn video game character. dafuq.) I can just imagine him being 90 years old and kissing a DS screen still. x D

no prob not

I mostly agree with this list. Though Mario Kart 8 is questionable to me, and I don't think I ever want New Love Plus+. Though Persona 5, FFXV, KHIII, and Tales of Zestiria definitely would make it onto my list!

Kingdom Hearts III, Smash Bros 4, Mario Kart 8, Hyrule Warriors, Monster Hunter 4. All I need that's on this list.

Most countries of Europe would go for COD, FIFA, PES, Minecraft, GTA and CS

WTH? KH3 or FFXV should be up top. Japan needs to get their priorities straightened out.

Because Persona 5 is WAAAAAYYYYYYY more important.
