also this is a pretty impressive showing for DQXI maybe a GOTD2 wild card |
Oh right, Game of the Year, forgot all about it. Way to go Allen, removing RE2 so GameFAQs favorite Zelda can get a spot in the final poll. Advokaiser picked Cloud in Guru and rained on my bracket. At least I finished 20th overall! |

linid0t posted... Cant have a finale without the Nintendo requirementThree Houses would have still been in there with or without RE2 in this poll. Ironically, RE2's omission here probably assures its win in the final GotY poll thanks to Link's Awakening leeching Three Houses. "I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people who do." You won the CBX Guru Contest, Advokaiser! Bully for you! |
LeonhartFour posted... also this is a pretty impressive showing for DQXI AFAIK it's been selling pretty well. Hopefully this means Squeenix will localize all of the spinoffs from now on! Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Challenge! |
swirIdude posted... Oh right, Game of the Year, forgot all about it. RE2 isn't a remake like most of these. This more of a reimagining with compeltely new gamepaly structure And having Zelda in the final poll just makes Fire Emblem weaker. RE2 will clean house regardless though. If KH3 was good this year, it would have won. But the game sucked. |
LeonhartFour posted... also this is a pretty impressive showing for DQXI Is it? I was expecting better When DQXI comes up in polls on the Switch Board. IT decimates every game even FE. LA seems to be getting a s*** ton of "casual" votes from people who probably didn't even play it. Either way Its a bit sad because Luigis mansion 3 deserves to be represented FAR more than what is lazy Poor Remake in LA. |
Yuri_LowelI posted... LA seems to be getting a s*** ton of "casual" votes from people who probably didn't even play it. It's unlikely that LA would have benefited from this in the Switch poll which is more top heavy than the games in this poll. When you factor in the presence of Luigi's Mansion 3, Pokemon, and Super Mario Maker 2, there's far less reason to vote for LA if you haven't played the game because it's more likely you have played one of the other games in the Switch poll. LA might actually be stronger than the Switch poll would suggest based on the early vote totals in today's poll. This poll has 905 votes at the end of the first hour. For comparison, the Switch poll had 931 votes at the end of the first hour and finished with 9599 votes. Despite the lack of RE2, today's poll is on track for about 9000 to 9400 votes (only slightly less than the Switch poll) while outperforming the PS4 poll by at least 500 votes or more. This poll breaking 9000 votes would imply LA is doing an excellent job at drawing in votes despite not having RE2 in the poll and this poll being less top heavy than the Switch poll. If that's the case here, LA could have more strength than expected. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Advokaiser, Guru Champ! |

Voted FFVIII Ctesjbuvf posting on his phone. |
The correct answer is Dragon Quest XI S, but I voted for Ace Attorney to help its vote total. For

DQXI S is a remaster?
i see it as more a 'definitive edition' of the same game. Also how can
RE2 not be on the list? it's an actual full remake...SBAllen does some
silly things, hopefully this isn't a bad sign for next contest. ... |

I dunno |
ZeldaFAQS Dilated Chemist All hail Advokaiser, our Guru Champion! |
Lol
Allen putting the knife in Three Houses. Hopefully we get a final,
final poll again if RE2 wins but is below 50% which it probably will be. Also on the subject of Link’s Awakening and whether it should qualify for GotD as a remake, it is a ground-up new game with changes but using the old design. It is both a new game and a remake. RE2 on the other hand is so new it is barely even a remake - it is almost a reimagining. I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh Advokaiser (edited 1/8/2020 7:50:36 AM) |
Yeah,
RE2 won't win so much with LFF that there's no reason for a final poll.
It's not like Three Houses barely beat LA in the Switch poll. |
Yuri_LowelI posted... RE2 will clean house regardless though. No, it will not clean house... It will clean THREE HOUSES! It's an honor being part of Board 8's community. |
By
the way, if you want proof of how weak a remastered game can be
compared to its original counterpart, just look at this poll. The less a
remaster/remake adds to the original experience, the weaker it will be. It's an honor being part of Board 8's community. |
I agree with Dragoquest XI not being a remaster Game is a year old at best and this is simply the "switch" version with added content. Is Witcher 3 a "remaster" Because its on switch? What about Mortal Kombat XI? Then again the GOTY polls this year have been a disaster for Allen. NO planning whatsoever. Instead of looking at what Gamefaqs fav games could be he went on Metacritic and put in games that noone on this site cares about. The whole point of a Final GOTY poll is to have the best top games on it. instead were going to have a bunch of indie/VR games that noone gives a s*** about. No other gaming site that does user GOTY awards does this. They straight up let every user nominate their very own GOTY game or do a poll but with more extensive list of games. If Gamefaqs did that with every user nominating their top 5 and it was a weighted list. It would be a much more accurate representation of this sites GOTY and even though i thought Kingdom Hearts 3 sucked balls, it would have a ton of support on this site. When the final GOTY poll shows up its going to have a random Star wars VR game on it. Also the Remaster catagory is a joke. What if for arguments sakes one day a Melee Remaster wins GOTY? because no other site would allow a remaster to be eligible for a GOTY award. Thats just not fair on the newer games released this year. A full remake i can pass though like RE2 because its essentially a brand new game with and older story. LA is pshing it a bit but the game looks completely different and has QoL gameplay changes. But thats as far as it goes. |
Advokaiser posted... By the way, if you want proof of how weak a remastered game can be compared to its original counterpart, just look at this poll. The less a remaster/remake adds to the original experience, the weaker it will be. Which makes DQXI a bit of an oddball because its neither a remaster or a remake. ITs just a definitive Switch port with more content. Remasters should be from previous generations and Remakes. DQXI should have been on the Switch Poll. A was. Why wasn't DQ? DQXI is Switch's highest rated game this year. Just bizarre. (edited 1/8/2020 5:54:22 PM) |

LA looks better on the switch poll than this. IT outright beat Luigis Mansion 3 and got near FE. Which for me is laughable. I don't even like FE but thats a genuine GOTY contender on any platform. Not a lazy remake thats overpriced with technical issues. But thats this site for you. Put Zelda name on it and it will do well regardless. i mean theres talk of a GOTD poll of the last 10 GOTY winners on Gfaqs.....don't bother. BOTW is going to dominate that poll. I just hope Mass Effect 2 doesn't come last. |
There's
no chance ME2 will come last. That "honor" will probably belong to
Borderlands 2 or FFXV unless a Nintendo game gets SFF'd to death. |
Yuri_LowelI posted... instead were going to have a bunch of indie/VR games that noone gives a s*** about.Blame our GotY format as a whole for that one, not Allen's specific incompetence this year. While you could fairly quibble with the repeated placement (or in some cases, non-placement) of certain games in certain polls, Kingdom Hearts III was the only real snub (seriously, we needed Crash Team Racing over it, yet that game wasn't in the remake poll?), and even then, it would have jobbed hard to RE2. Yuri_LowelI posted... LA looks better on the switch poll than this. IT outright beat Luigis Mansion 3 and got near FE.I'm not sure in what universe almost getting doubled by Three Houses is getting near it. Not to mention you were the one trumping how strong DQ11 Definitive was supposed to be, and now beating some game no one remotely cares about here is supposed to be a better showing than almost doubling a version of DQ11? Also, I don't want a GotD poll simply because I want to see that question answered this next contest, and that's less likely if we also have a poll about it. "I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people who do." You won the CBX Guru Contest, Advokaiser! Bully for you! |
MetalmindStats posted... Also, I don't want a GotD poll simply because I want to see that question answered this next contest, and that's less likely if we also have a poll about it. Eh, POTD results don't necessarily correlate to contest results. Prime example: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/6164-best-game-ever-day-33-division-ii-final-final-fantasy-vi-vs https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5728-all-of-the-other-final-fantasy-games-aside-which-is-better |
I
would be totally fine getting a GotD poll since the game strengths seem
in that poll wouldn't be completely accurate due to LFF (and possibly
SFF). All we would know for sure is that Breath of the Wild is the
strongest game of the decade, and Skyrim should come in second place. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Advokaiser, Guru Champ! |
LeonhartFour posted... Eh, POTD results don't necessarily correlate to contest results.I know that. My point is we're less likely to even get a GotD II contest if we also get a poll about it.

We had a 2000-2009 POTD and still got GOTD! https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/3728-best-of-2009-game-of-the-00s |
Chrono Cross beat Majora's Mask in 2000? What a world that must have been. Advokaiser picked Cloud in Guru and rained on my bracket. At least I finished 20th overall! |
swirIdude posted... Chrono Cross beat Majora's Mask in 2000? no we didn't actually run a GOTY in 2000 for whatever the reason but it absolutely would have I miss the early '00s |
There
aren't any GotY polls for 2000, so Allen had to pick out a game of his
choice for that year. The other possible candidates for 2000 is FFIX
and Majora's Mask. Back then, Majora's Mask certainly wasn't loved like
it has become now, so it would have been a bad choice from the
perspective of choosing what game would have likely won for 2000.
Guessing Chrono Cross got selected as the poll already had Zelda and
Final Fantasy representatives. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Advokaiser, Guru Champ! (edited 1/8/2020 7:28:19 PM) |
No, there were no GotY 2000 polls. Chrono Cross was just selected to be on the poll. Link isn't the only one who kicks ass. Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Contest! |
LeonhartFour posted... https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/189-which-big-game-are-you-most-anxiously-awaiting Geez, going back through some of those really old polls is interesting if nothing else https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/225-what-is-the-best-game-of-2000-so-far |
Game of the Decade Poll Resident Evil 2 Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Breath of the Wild Final Fantasy XV The Witcher 3 Super Smash Bros. Wii U A Link Between Worlds Borderlands 2 Skyrim Mass Effect 2 Considering 40% of the poll would be Nintendo (including another Zelda), I can see Skyrim holding up quite well, if not beating BotW outright. Since this could be seen as a more "serious" poll though, I anticipate that BotW would siphon the other Nintendo offerings into shallow husks - whatever it needs to win. I'd bank on BotW > Skyrim > Mass Effect 2 as the top three. Smash Wii U scores under 1%. Yoblazer https://imgur.com/gByqgPg |
It's
too early to talk about whether or not Resident Evil 2 is the strongest
game for this year. I haven't seen anything in the current GotY poll
results that definitively places RE2 as the top game. Fire Emblem: Three Houses finished with a higher overall percentage in its poll compared to RE2 in the PS4 poll. The Switch poll also finished with about 1100 more votes than the PS4 poll, which implies the Switch poll had stronger competition overall. Though the PS4 poll was certainly lacking KH3, which could have cost the PS4 poll a few hundred votes.

Expansion GotY poll today: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/7837- Looks like we're not quite at the overall GotY poll yet. This is a completely new category that's never been done before.

Go my King of Cards Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Challenge! |
King
of Cards was the worst Shovel Knight campaign. I still voted for it,
though, since I haven't played anything else on the poll. Come watch me on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/gameryogi |
I'm maybe around halfway through and I'm liking it pretty well. [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO Advokaiser NO PEACE] |

Overall GotY poll today: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/7838- Due to RE2 winning 3 polls, it looks like Allen decided to choose Sekiro as one of the second place finishers from the polls it previously appeared in. Devil May Cry 5 also got into the overall GotY poll despite finishing behind 4 games in the PS4 poll and 3 games in the Xbox One poll. Outer Wilds somehow got into the overall GotY poll despite looking like absolute garbage in all of its previous polls (PS4, Xbox One, PC, Indies). Disco Elysium also got into the overall GotY poll, though at least it finished second place in the Indies poll.

DRAgon quest mother f***ING S |
LusterSoldier posted... Overall GotY poll today: allen redeeming himself with this one common sense to include Sekiro in this as well as DQ11 and outer wilds is a great gsme. Even if 4 people will vote for it. |
CaptainOfCrush posted... Game of the Decade Poll hahaha. Skyrim has diminished dude. Expect Witcher 3 to beat Skyrim handily. BOTW doesn’t just win. It dominates. |
Sekiro was definitely the best choice for Allen to include here out of the games that didn't win a single poll. Also, this GotY result is really weird. Fire Emblem: Three Houses is somehow losing to Link's Awakening despite laying a beatdown on it just a few days ago in the Switch poll. It's also losing to Dragon Quest, strangely enough. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Advokaiser, Guru Champ! |
Fire Emblem crushing Link's Awakening in the Switch poll and losing in the general poll would be such a GameFAQs thing. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Okay,
looks like that was just a really terrible board vote for Fire Emblem.
It's made things much closer with RE2 and jumped above Dragon Quest and
Link's Awakening on that most recent update. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Advokaiser, Guru Champ! (edited 1/9/2020 9:10:58 PM) |

Absolute shambles how that game even got into this poll. Dq11 probably wins this GOTY poll with had the game came out on everything this year. |
