My villain origin story is that this all happened because 365 days ago someone refused to institute a clear tie-breaker policy. I fixed that.

You have ~10 hours to drum up two votes. I hope you can do it. Might even get us over the vote total from last October.

You're just jealous that Darksiders voters are all highly skilled workers who built RPGHQ from the ground up, saar.

I firmly believe ties are detrimental to the AG program. And that drama like this is good for it.

On months with fewer votes, ties are somewhat common. I was expecting the first time I exercised the tie-breaker function that it would spark debate like it is now. If you can suggest a better objective tie-breaking mechanism I'd be willing to give up my role as tie breaker in future polls.

[Tweed]

Thanks for reminding me of why I stopped participating in this ****.

The role was conferred to me by @Oyster Sauce on January 1st, 2025.

I liked that there was a tie last October. It was fun!

I'm not suggesting any changes. I'm just a hater.

You have more power than me, therefore **** you

Fun is a buzzword.

Having someone as a tie-breaker is fine as it's fast. I can suggest to do a new poll with only tied options. I don't know if a second poll can be done in the same topic though. It will also delay the start of the game month so that's a drawback.

[J1M]

It would be so funny if this month ends in a tie again, and J1M created the problem he intended to destroy.

I thought his vote counted for 2 in the case of a tie?

Technically, my role is to break the tie in any direction for an arbitrary reason. My vote counting for 2 wouldn't make sense if I voted for the last place game.

Stop being such a JAG off!

[Tweed]

@A Chinese opium den vote for Underrail and I'll think kindly upon you.

[WhiteShark]

@A Chinese opium den, I already think kindly of you. Please vote for Darksiders.

[Tweed]

Need a new rule that the management isn't allowed to vote.

[rusty_shackleford]

Keep it up and I'll add 1998 & statesman's vote

[CornCake]

[J1M]

Mission accomplished! This was the most active AG poll since last October. Well-played to @Tweed and others, who scraped up a huge number of votes on short notice. I'll be stepping away from vote trading and other shenanigans once I pay back @logincrash next month, but I hope others will continue to make things interesting one way or another.

Tie breaker
Click to reveal the winner for October 2025:

► Show Spoiler

I don't know much about this game, other than it looks like a spiritual successor to Fallout and was made by a team of 6 people.

Hopefully nobody who came out to support me personally feels betrayed by this, but I am breaking the tie in favor of UnderRail in order to produce the most memorable result and match my AG alignment of chaotic neutral.



Future tie breakers
Rule change proposal:

► Show Spoiler

If @Oyster Sauce will approve of it, I suggest replacing the tie breaking mechanism for future months with the following, objective, rule:

• In the event of a tied vote, the game with the earliest release date will be selected.
• If the games are still tied, because someone purposely started nominating games with duplicate release dates, the game that was nominated first will be selected.

Darksiders
I don't think we will ever see this game get enough AG votes again, but I hope some of you enjoy playing it at some point because it's a great game. A few tips:

► Show Spoiler

1. Controller strongly recommended. Platforms: PC, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4, WiiU, Switch.
2. Normal difficulty from 2010 is appropriate for most people frequenting this forum. As far as I know, the only difference on the hardest difficulty is that enemies have more health and deal more damage.
3. The first mini-boss after the time skip is a difficulty spike. Dashing more should help.
4. Don't let yourself get filtered at the Graveyard. That is the only area of the game designed that way.
5. (Warmastered version) Turn off Vignette and Chroma FX video options.
