Should GOTY polls have a 'None' option?

[Stack of Turtles]

I want a none option.

vergil going to pretend he actually played and enjoyed one of the games that will be on the 2024 list btw

If I don't play any of them I will simply not vote.

You enjoyed dragon's dogma 2 so much that it was game of the year?

I played it and I liked it that is correct.

[rusty_shackleford]

I played it and I liked it that is correct.

But it's not "game you liked" poll, it's what game you think was the absolute best of the year, and if none of them are good then it's none.

DD2 was shit, btw

I thought this game released in 2024 was good and better than the rest of the games on the poll.

I agree with @Vergil's view on this but I think a 'none' option gives us a view of how many people think all the games are shit.
If you simply don't vote then it's hard to know the difference between how many people didn't like any games and how many people just didn't look at the thread.

I want my voice of the community be recognized that the games are all shit, if that is my conclusion, though I have never done this before.

It could also be just summarized as "45% of the community thought that none of these games deserved the title" and still have our GOTY I do not see why that would pose a problem.

You didn't play it long enough.

I played the chinkcrack version, it's a worse dragon's dogma on account of being a near remake + worse performance, which was already a mediocre game overhyped by weebs

So your reasoning is you have nothing at all to add BUT you want a "please don't forget about meeee" button?

[J1M]

'None' also serves as clear feedback to the poll's creator that a list consisting entirely of JRPGs is not an acceptable set of choices.

[Oyster Sauce]

"I didn't play a single RPG this year but let me tell you why my opinion is important"

[J1M]

"I didn't play a single RPG this year but let me tell you why my opinion is important"

"I tried to find enjoyable games this year, but none of them were noteworthy."

[Jordy]

"I didn't play a single RPG this year but let me tell you why my opinion is important"

"I didn't play a single RPG this year so I'll just vote for an IP I like."

[Stack of Turtles]

I agree that those are all valid opinions to express.

Being an anti-feminist, ergo opposed to a specific ideological movement, is in itself a purposeful and valid reason, being an MRA, ergo wanting to achieving specific political change is something else even if related but it is qualitatively not better or worse.

Point being, "adding" something is not defined by agreeing to something that is expected from you, like choosing a specific game from a list but also by choosing none of them.

Or in other words, it is perfectly valid to say you don't like something and it is a valid input into a discussion.

Brevity, this is not it.

[Lord of Riva]

Brevity, this is not it.

That is definitely my fault and I'm seemingly unable to change that.

It wasn't brevity at all, though. Brevity would have been something like

Sorry, I don't know how to be brief.

Yes quite as an obese man child I also have something to add. As well as a virgin with rage

[Hyborian]

Fuck no. If you haven't played anything or have no opinion, then fuck off from the poll.

[WhiteShark]

It doesn't matter if all the games were bad. Unless they were all exactly as bad as each other, one of them must be the best relative to the others. If you don't want to vote for a game, don't vote.

That is indeed known as a "protest vote".

You're served two dishes. One is sea bugs, and the other is mantises. Your asked which is better.

The answer is none.

[Xenich]

"Wood Chipper" should be put in as a selection because of the games listed, the only "game" I would enjoy playing with them is tossing them in one.

[Jordy]

Yes correct but it was an improvement.
