I haven't noticed any such attitude at all, myself. If anything I think the press and playerbase are all too eager to assume newer is always better, whilst all too quickly criticizing "yesteryear games" of being dated and assuming they're beloved only for the sake of nostalgia. As you seem to suggest in your post above as well. We'll have a look at the rest of the list to see how things turn out, but based on the lists I've seen the presence of new and old games has been quite even throughout. Some may favour older, some may favour newer, but I hardly think the decisions on what to include in each list were as dictated by overarching principles and broader motivations as you make it out to be. I think people just presented the games they liked.

Who knows, there might always be a new poll next year too!

It's almost like it's the most contested position!

Maybe I'll do it.

I haven't played the actual game but that is a wonderful cover art.

Oh, right. Yeah, normally that would be the way to do it, but I valued having their list over punctuality, so long as it didn't take too long. Especially considering it was Christmas and, y'know, life can get busy.

Well, you did get one game in so far!

I'm not sure I follow. What do you mean with dumping a subject which doesn't fulfill the requirements?

The first batch of results is up! We had a 13-way-tie for 94th place, meaning the list got extended to 106 entries. I'll be attempting to upload ten or so results every couple of days from here on. As for this particular batch, right off the bat we have quite a few heavy hitters making an appearance. Opinions on these?

Was this before or after Theodred used Supersonic?

Nevermind me, I'm just providing a soundtrack for this conversation.

Still awaiting on confirmation for those few things. If by Friday I don't get any, I'll see about how I go about it (maybe removing those specific instances, or the list altogether). In the meantime, anyone else who may still want to vote can.

Now that's what I call a stiff! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Merry Christmas everybody!

I also enjoyed it but I would have wanted to have a more challenging game overall. I don't think the game ever pushed the player to be more tactical either and that was one of the primary issues.

The Disaster Artist. "Oh hai, Mark. Oh hai, Mark. Oh hai, Greg." Good film overall that balances fairly nicely the funnier and darker sides of the story of the making of The Room. Clearly it's at its best when it's all about the making of the film, and it takes a while to get there, but still, very enjoyable overall.

The list is already compiled! The only thing missing is a couple of clarifications regarding one of the latest entries, that had both the Baldur's Gate trilogy as a single vote (need to split it up or to name just one of the games), and both versions of Sid Meier's Pirates! without indication to which is which. When that is resolved, I'll close the list and begin posting the results. Also, what I've done with regards to games and expansions is that I've included enhanced editions, extended editions, remasters and "director's cuts" all as part of the main game, same for whether the expansion was named alongside the core game or not. If an expansion was named *on its own*, however, I have counted that as a separate entry instead, adding points on its own. This I find to be better in case some expansions have a campaign that is itself worth more attention than the original game it was based on or any such thing (such as what is often thought of the Shadowrun Returns expansions, Hordes of the Underdark or Mask of the Betrayer for example). Without a doubt it'll be the most contentious point come the results too, but we'll see.

That can be done, sure. :D

We are officially on overtime! I'm waiting for clarifications on the submission of a particular user right now, and once they've been sorted I'll officially close the poll. In the meantime, this is your *last chance* to send in your submissions if you haven't already, and I won't wait after the above is sorted. If you haven't yet and want to take part, now's the time!

I didn't do the above, but that's pretty much the point.

Rich Evans! Also...

Not even Eothas will resist me now.

I'll crop this for a portrait for Deadfire:

The Witcher III: Wild Hunt ought to be up your alley, I feel.
