It'll be pretty awkward if Starfield gets snubbed for another 2022 game.

We were just guessing about FF16 being moved to summer. FF16 might have been straight up snubbed instead.

It isn't close. But, FF16 does okay considering the opposition.

The older system was "New Franchises", "Sequels and Spinoffs" and "Remakes and Remasters". So powerhouses were already pretty likely to run into each other.

For this new format, we still need to see how many games from each poll reach the next stage. Could be 2 per poll and maybe 2 wildcards as well.

RE4 Power Hour is over early.

A few more:

2023-01-20 - Fire Emblem Engage (snubbed)

2023-04-26 - Honkai: Star Rail
2023-06-02 - Street Fighter 6

2023-08-29 - Sea of Stars

2023-11-17 - SMRPG

So something like this:
2023-02-07 - Hogwarts Legacy (snubbed)

2023-05-12 - TotK
2023-06-06 - Diablo 4
2023-06-22 - FF16

2023-08-03 - BG3
2023-09-06 - Starfield

2023-10-20 - Spider-Man 2
2023-10-20 - SMW
2023-10-27 - AW2

Here? I get Baldur's Gate 3 was a big deal but it takes a lot for Zelda not to win here.

BG3 winning means it got an external rally for some reason. I'm not sure what scenario would lead to TotK breaking 50%. It's hard to start a rally off "it isn't winning by enough".

I think there's a better chance of BG3 outright winning than TotK breaking 50% in the general final.

Breaking 50% can be challenging in a multi way poll. At the very least RE4R will be there along with the strongest among FF16, BG2 and Spider-man 2. Maybe SMRPG as well. Probably Starfield too since I don't think it has much competition in the "new series" poll.

TotK is going to SFF SMBW into the ground so unfortunately we won't be able to get to see how strong Wonder is. SMRPG will be able to avoid that a bit since it goes in the remake poll.

Lead Mods don't have the power to ban?

Nope.

It got new content so it is eligible under the live service rule.

Biggest snub for Best RPG is SMRPG, imo.

Absolutely amazed Death Stranding took the majority, but I can't remeber what the competition was that year.

If you click the squares it jumps to the breakdown for the year. So 2019 looked like this:

I will say as a very casual follower of FE on the Switch I saw FE Engage at a Gamestop when I whimsically visited it a few weeks ago (first time at a Gamestop in years) and thought it was some weird spinoff like the Musou game and didn't have interest in buying it

I wonder if I'm weird or that happened to a non-minuscule amount of people. FE with focus on classic gameplay seems awesome so now I wish I grabbed it it was even on sale

Maybe a bit? Although, I think people were more thinking Fire Emblem Heroes rather than Fire Emblem Warriors.

I'm always cheering for Pikachu.

I didn't watch the first season exactly when it first aired so this journey was just under 10 years for me. I thought this episode was quite good. I'm going to miss 3D Maneuver Gear combat since it always looks so cool. I must say that I never expected than Eren would be trying to pull a ZR. Although, it doesn't seem to go very well in the longer term. I'm was sad when it seemed like Jean wasn't going to make it since I came to like him a lot over the years. Then the author went back on it so I'm not sure what to think anymore. >_> I'm going to miss Mikasa as well. I should go find that red scarf I bought 10 years ago...

I don't think people particularly liked the ending to Sea of Stars, though.

UshiromiyaEva posted...

Is Sea of Stars really something people think is gonna be here as the indie pick?

I'll admit I only got around 6 or 7 hours before letting it slip away but it really just didn't seem to be....super great. Fine maybe?

Chalk this one up to me just not getting it I guess. Maybe it's the opposite if Chained Echoes and it starts off mid but gets really good later on in the game.

The Board 8 topic about Sea of Stars seemed fairly negative to me but maybe the game did better elsewhere.

Sometimes we shouldn't let people cook.

I thought I was giving Tifa a lot of credit before the contest... then I failed to predict Tifa over Sephiroth anyways. >_>

In the Guru, Tifa was solidly the favourite to beat Mewtwo in their match. So I have no idea what was going on in those board polls!
