Yes. Did you not pay attention to the previous polls here or those rusty ran on codex? The 1 year wait is to reduce recency bias and give people a chance to play the games that came out near the end of the year.

Seriously, I couldn't wait ONE WHOLE YEAR for that joke.![]()
Whoever votes for Lunacid should get his account suspended for about 24h. To play Lunacid, of course.
Just like Yves, I chase tales

It is though, you make build decisions with your available spell schools. You interact with npc factions by doing quests or attacking them. You equip your units/heroes with items/runes/demonic possession. Your build can be **** or completely broken given enough game knowledge and effort.
There is even hints of romance
Totally an rpg, go play it
But it is

BG3, Darkest Dungeon2 and Octopath traveler 2

I love DD and OT

There is no perfect way of voting. I'm considering ranked voting for the future, so we can use the votes to generate different results and get angry at each other for different outcomesJ1M wrote: β January 7th, 2025, 16:36That would only help an undeserving game win.rusty_shackleford wrote: β January 7th, 2025, 03:1343 people have voted so far.

I only played one game. Though I might be able to get around to Bore Caves before the month is out.rusty_shackleford wrote: β January 7th, 2025, 03:1343 people have voted so far. Many of you only picked one choice, but you can pick up to 3.![]()
I beat BG3 and Hogwarts Legacy. Played a bit of Roguey Trader and Starfield. Only cast one vote.

Circuit is the worst race. Sprint is a nice scenic route, Drag is high-octane gear-shifting action, Drift is very fun.Tangerine wrote: β January 7th, 2025, 16:44We need ranked voting for the worst race poll.rusty_shackleford wrote: β January 7th, 2025, 16:38There is no perfect way of voting.

Circuit is just running in circles for way too long. Boring.

If we exclude the first place game(c'mon, everyone knew this), we have an interesting three-way tie right now.

What a rough-looking list. Lots of brutally bad writing, barely a single jrpg worth digging into. BG3 had the best combat, but I won't vote for it because of all the gay ****.
So then we move on to games that I liked, but that shouldn't really be in the GOTY running. I had a lot of fun with lords of the fallen so that gets an easy vote. I also loved The Last Spell for quite a while, but it had an update that ruined character stats/builds so it only gets a lukewarm vote. Octopath Traveler was fun for a while but ran out of steam and I didn't quite finish it but I would still give it the nod over any Legend of Overwrought Worldbuilding Slop game.
