Discussion Thread

Someone had to at least nominate Goat Simulator, eh?

[TheDarkKnight]

Sorry for the delay on the vote threads. Personal issues are taking up a lot of my time so I will try to get the threads out tonight or tomorrow.

Please take this time to nominate any further games if you haven't already, and I will get back to this ASAP.

[TheDarkKnight]

Nominations are now closed.

We will discuss them in Content and then I will post the vote threads in the next couple of days.

Thank you for participating so far.

[TheDarkKnight]

The vote threads are officially open.

Quick question with the poll on Best Strategy game, Endless Legend seems to be in their twice so will the votes on those just be added together or will it need a new poll?

[Kjertesvein]

I do hope the project gets another front page area like it deserves. Thanks everyone who worked on this.

Have you guys thought about for next year to have the banners depict the previous years winners rather than one of the entries this year? It would enable a nice sort of continuity and avoid the banners appearing "suggestive" towards who people should vote for.

Honestly never considered that. Jeb made the banners last year and he pretty much did the same thing. And I don't think many of the winners were featured on those banners. If it does happen this year it could be a coincidence or we blame Mhaedros

I think they should put up entirely Star Wars Battlefront 3 banners for next year. Because we all know it's going to win.

Good job to everyone who worked on this.

I started looking at the polls to vote, and then I realised I haven't played a single game that was listed...

Well get to it. You have six days to play every game and vote :p

[Gicusan]

You are missing at least few great games from this list, most of them also indie kickstarted (or kickstarted games sequels) games:

RPG:
- Shadowrun Returns - Dragonfall
- Blackguards
- Lords of Xulima
- Neo Scavenger
- Legend of Grimrock 2

This was a really good year for RPG. Of course that great does not include stuff like:
- Dragon Age: Inquistion
- Borderlands the Pre-Sequel
that should not be in anyone's decent top, especially considering the quality of 2014.

Strategy:

- Sid Meiers Civilization Beyond Earth

Note:

The members of Total War Center are responsible for the nomination process. If a game does not get nominated, or does not receive enough nominations, then it will NOT be in the final polls. Nominate carefully, everyone.

As Mhaedros said.

There was a reason I posted the above.

[Mhaedros]

We are not missing anything. If a game is not included in the final vote it is because the people of TWC did not nominate it enough to warrant a presence in the vote, we did not decide which games are included.

Dark souls II is in the RPG Category, but isnt in this category? The game devs confirmed it to be action adventure. Not RPG

Dark Souls II only received nominations for the RPG category; not a single person nominated it for action adventure. Again, members of the TWC community are responsible for the nomination process.

And I have heard it described as an RPG as well as action adventure.

[Kaiser Leonidas]

I think of Dark Souls as being an RPG. Action adventure's a bit of a useless genre name anyway, as PC Gamer helpfully pointed out:

Action: A niche genre defined by things happening, sometimes things involving movement.

[TheDarkKnight]

Okay so there are two tiebreaker votes, one for Best Shooter and one for Best New Character.

The votes will close on Friday so get to voting everyone.

[TheDarkKnight]

Two more days everyone. Remember that the two categories are Best Shooter and Best New Character

[TheDarkKnight]

The voting has now concluded, and the threads have been closed. I will keep this thread open for further discussion, and the results will be announced with the next issue of the Gamer's Gazette, and then posted here as well.

Thank you everyone for participating. We will do this again next year.
