Let's Pick the Patron GOTY Top Ten

I'm not sure if anyone's interested or would even find it useful, but I've created an Excel spreadsheet into which one can paste all of the comments from this page and it will return a list ranked by number of likes. I hope I'm not breaching anything by posting a link here: <a href="https://drive.google.com/open?id=1tsVde1qoHrlHqmHjJVf_b_9tms5FGyye" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://drive.google.com/open?id=1tsVde1qoHrlHqmHjJVf_b_9tms5FGyye</a>

Nier is the 4th post

I would love to vote for this but I am too lazy to keep loading comments until I check them all and find if the game was mention and then like it and all that. The ones I want in there have probably been voted in anyways so may the best game win. Hey, I'll throw one in there to be safe. NIER: AUTOMATA

This is a poll for candidates for the Patron GOTY award, not a stream. This Tuesday's group stream is the 2017 EZA awards.

TACOMA

Surprise of the year

Mark van Dijken

DEF JAM: FIGHT FOR NY sigh.. but it looks like either mario/zelda/persona will win. Three games that have already been streamed multiple times.

Wahooooooo!

This game suffers from its early release date. If it came out by the end of the year it would easily be in the talks for GOTY :/

YES!!!

Isn't this a 2016 game?

Not technically a new game, and not likely to get many votes, but ah well. It's beautifully written and one of my favorites of the year.

WWE 2K18 not a troll post I promise. So for context I haven’t played a wrestling game since I was little kid on the N64 so coming into this I didn’t know what to expect...what I found was the most fun I have had playing a game in years. Playing with my buddies online or on the couch has been non stop hilarity and good vibes all around. Customization is very deep for you to make pretty much any character you want. This game is extremely buggy but that’s what makes it even more hilarious. L&amp;R

Sorry but this is becoming bull, I need o click load more like seriously 20 times to see all the options, and when on mobile my phone implodes after the 10th time, so I simply can't even see all the games until I go on a PC.

Try adding a response and/or liking as many options as you wish. Your responses can be edited later as well. The advantage of this system is that it retroactively adds added responses in the "Other" option within the list. I currently have the list set to shuffle upon refresh to keep it fare, but that too can be changed by the Allies if not preferred. 1st come 1st serve would still apply. I turned off the email requirement for this test, so don't worry about that. For the Allies use...I would suggest that emails be a requirement to verify if they are a $2 patron or not.

drd7of14

This is only a test, but I'd love if people tried this as part of an experiment. Trying to see if this is a feasible method for future polls. It won't impact anything with the actual votes, but feel free to submit to it. <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1O3f3AhjFWKTIQnTxzj8PLvfyfHfWZYN7OnkC4c4Wbk8/edit?usp=sharing" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1O3f3AhjFWKTIQnTxzj8PLvfyfHfWZYN7OnkC4c4Wbk8/edit?usp=sharing</a>

To be fair: things weren't showing up properly. I'd hit refresh five times and get five different lists :)

If they want to make it private to $2 and up patrons, they should post a private link to a poll system. That way we can more clearly see/make suggestions on titles.

Prey is criminally underrated, Personal GOTY

Mark van Dijken

Mr. Bosman, if I may, a couple of notes, only for future reference: 1. GOTYs and other like topics, of course bring out EVERYONE, so the traffic on this post is way too fast (So much so, I'm sure you won't read this post and I'm only doing this as an exercise with no expected reads.) It MIGHT be a tad unwise to open up a post calling for such a mass influx of input without some way of maintaining responses in a timely manner to insure everyone gets their posts in, so much so that there are STILL duplicates above, yet to be deleted. 2. The forums currently have such a category going, and I urge anyone reading to check out the appropriately titled thread, near the top of the "Gaming Discussion" sub forum. Voting is open for another four or five days, so anyone can get more than one pick in and have more of their opinions heard, if they are so inclined, if they have not already. 3. Finally, while the traffic on this post is absolutely surprising, this is still my favorite implementation of the GSC, and I hope other interesting ideas like this are implemented in the future. Thank you for reading, to anyone who does.

as already mentioned on Cup of Jones, we need an external site for polls, patreon is great but still has to learn how to keep track of likes and have them attributed correctly, and it'd be nice not having to wait for ten minutes until they manage to lad all the previous comments...

It's not perfect but it's more a product of people just not reading/not thinking. The big boys will still get in, even if Persona or Zelda or even Nier and the rest have multiple entries I'm sure they'll rack it up

Hudson Bilbrey

Please LOAD and READ the comments Patrons. Your favorite game is PROBABLY up there. Take ten more seconds to not clutter this up and make the voting process that much harder. Posting something that has already been posted only HURTS your entry. Please take the extra time.

FINDING PARADISE

This system doesn't work very well for this kind of submission. Games that get posted multiple times can have their totals diluted since some people will click on the first instance they see instead of searching for the one that has the current most likes

SmorgasLord

Here's what I wrote for the first Community Showcase on the subject: "The Invisible Hours is a Virtual Reality “Play” released this month and available on PSVR, Oculus, and Vive in which the player observes the happenings in and around the Victorian Era home of Nikola Tesla on the eve of a grisly murder. Though taking place over the course of only about an hour and a half of real time, the game itself plays out for much longer, as the player can (and is expected to) traverse the Tesla home and surrounding island following one of eight different characters at different times while searching for clues, all in an effort to unravel the knots of several overlapping mysteries. Characters include fictionalized versions of real personalities like the aforementioned Nikola Tesla, Thomas Edison, and Sara Bernhardt, as well as fictionalized archetypes that may (or may not) be more than they initially seem, such as “the disgraced detective”, “the ex-convict”, and “the suspicious (and blind) butler”. With the atmosphere of an Agatha Christie story, custom animation for seemingly every minute of each character’s actions, and a legitimately compelling story, I was absolutely floored by “The Invisible Hours” and completed it over the course of about 10 hours of play over a single weekend (very unusual for me). If you have a VR helmet and an acceptance of more narrative, “walking simulator”-esque experiences, it gets my highest recommendation. You can see the future of VR entertainment from here, and it looks like something really special."
