I'll just restate what I said before, then.

I've never really considered years when it comes to gaming. I've always been rather late to the party in getting new consoles, so I never play games in the year they were released, typically. It's also rather subjective: if you're a fan of one genre, you wouldn't think of years when none of that genre really stood out as astounding, and so on. I've never really thought about the issue, basically.

If I had to pick a year, probably 2016. It's the first year I can remember being excited for more than one game. We have Persona 5, FFXV, and as Fynn reminds me, SMT: IV Final. Most years, there's one game that I'm excited for, and that's about it. When Dragon Age: Inquisition came out, it was pretty much the only 'new game' of that year I was excited for.
