Even if someone was motivated to do that I have no idea how they'd even begin. Your solitary complaint was the existence of Gwent.arc1991 said:

I'll bite!
My biggest disappointment: Corpse Party Blood Drive. Technical issues aside, the narrative is abysmal. The new characters are offensive and immature, poorly designed and just don't mesh with the existing characters. The whole multiple magic organisations things doesn't gel for me either. We have a character who is experienced with magic and the haunted school yet acts surprised when bad things happen, then we have a professional magical artifact hunter who acts like a terrified newbie. A CEO who moonlights as a freaking teacher and is also involved with the occult, uses a helicopter to deliver food to a schoolkid? Wut. A guy who breaks into a teenage girl's bathroom whilst she is bathing and then berates her for being angry and surprised - then insults her body! Double wut. Even in the artwork the new characters look like they just shouldn't be there, like they just inserted themselves.
In fact, the game is like a bad self-insert fanfiction. I gave up after the first few chapters. I am never giving another game company the benefit of the doubt ever again.
Personal GOTY: ....can I come back to this one? It hasn't been a good game year for me. Well, there have been plenty of good releases but nothing that made me think "Wow! I can't wait to jump back into this world again!".

I wish I could give the GOTY to the Witcher 3, I really do. It certainly deserves best AAA game of the year. But I'll have to go with Undertale. The game was innovative, funny, terrifying, but above all it felt authentically new. I had never played a game like that, and the creators truly loved the material they were honoring. The Witcher 3 was a great game, but it simply didn't make me feel or give me the same sense of connection to the game Undertale did.
As for disappointing... luckily I haven't played a lot of really bad games this year, I know what I like and can usually avoid games I know I won't be into. Even though I actually like Fallout 4 quite a bit on its own merits, I didn't quite get hooked on it the same way I have in past games. I might find myself getting more hooked on it later I might just be a little RPG-ed out right now (The Witcher III and replaying DAI with all the DLC may have worn me out). But right now that would unfortunately be my pick.

GOTY: Undertale.Not necessarily the most expansive game ever, but probably the best put-together one.
Disappointment: MGSV. Gameplay's fun enough, story and characters suck. Still enjoyed it, though. 2015 has been a pretty good year for games overall, in my case.
Fallout 4 gets an honorable mention. Massive improvement on Fallout 3. As much as I'd love for it to have Obsidian-tier writing, I was hardly expecting it from Bethesda. And I got what I expected. The gunplay is massively improved, which would have been enough, but they've also created a use for the junk cluttering the wasteland, which is fantastic, AND given players a way to personalize their world via settlements.

GOTY: Disgaea 5.
It's the most mechanically accomplished in the series and I love it to bits.
Biggest Disappointment:
Mario Maker.
It's so shallow and boring. The toolset is very limited and everyone just makes super hard troll levels instead of something that's actually fun to play.
Perhaps my job as a game developer wears off some of the luster it would have had.

Game of the year - BroForce - only game to make me laugh out loud several times on the first level, reminded us of what games should be, fun.
Biggest disappointment, Fallout4 - I was just so bored in the first hour I've no motivation to pick it up again, I've already played 3 and NV and there's nothing 'new' that's good, just gimmicky..

GOTY for me is split between Witcher 3 which is as awesome as others have stated here, and Ori and the Blind Forest, which may be smaller but is still a gem of a game with excellent, fluid gameplay, a beautiful artstyle and a fantastic OST.
Honorable mentions to Tales of Zestiria and Bloodborne
Biggest Disappointment? Dunno, Witcher was the only game I was really hyped for this year, so seeing other big names flop just makes me shrug.

As far as the Game Speed tied to FPS thing is concerned, that is LITERALLY beyond Bethesdas ability to do anything about since it's a hard limit on the engine they're using, namely the Creation engine aka god damn fuckin' piece a shit Gamebryo. This is the LAST TIME. If they use Gamebryo ONE MORE TIME we can finally be rest assured that Bethesda is dead and gone, clearly having been body-snatched by Hack-Goblins.Charcharo said:
That issue aside, I personally didn't run in to any game breaking bugs until about 30 hours in, so compared to past bethesda releases I dunno where you're getting data on these other massive problems. A lot of them can be traced to DX11 which is not Bethesdas fault whatsoever, but the fault of DX11 since it requires GPU manufacturers to release specific drivers for every game that utilizes it.
GOTY: Fallout 4. Yes, it has it's problems but I haven't had this much fun in ages. Close runner up: Arkham Knight, disqualified due to insanely bad PC release and a lack of good bosses.
Witcher 3 is good but...something just didn't click for me.
Biggest disappointment: Probably DBZ:Xenoverse. The game looked and sounded amazing, but ended up feeling both spread too thin and too restrictive.

GOTY: Massive Chalice
Runner Up Candidates: Invisible, Hand of Fate
No real disappointments this year, since I've taken to waiting on games to hit 50-75% off before buying them, the result has been a pretty effective reduction in purchasing bad games. Hard not to know all that you would ever want to know about a game at the point it hits that price point, so there really are no surprises.
