The original Street Fighter doesn't belong anywhere but on the bottom.

Have you played the EX games? They are an abomination. At least the original is charming in a way even though the gameplay is ****.

Bonus Question: Have you played a game because of a GameFAQs contest?

Yes and that would be a huge understatement. I literally took on a project to beat all the games partaking in every GameFaqs contest since BGE 2009 and I achieved that milestone 2 years ago.

Favorite Mega Man X game

1 > 4 >>> 2 > 3 >>> 5 > 8 >>>>> 7 > 6

Favorite Kingdom Hearts game

2 > 1 >>> BBS >>>>> 358/2 Days > CoM

Havent played DDD and Coded yet

Favorite Street Fighter game

4 > 2 > 3 > Alpha 2 > Alpha 3 > Alpha > 5 >>>>> 1 > EX2 > EX > EX3

I'm not gonna try with a list because my guess would be very bad and I wouldn't even know where to begin. I'm just gonna say Clannad (it is good but not great) is already waaaaay too high in what otherwise seems like a solid Top 25.

Good luck to everyone else though.

Great contest, great winner for the most amazing year in gaming

- This marks the first time since 2007 that a game has won the GameFAQs GotY poll and the B8 GotY tournament, and only the 4th time ever (2002, 2005, 2007, 2017).

Didn't A Link Between Worlds win GameFaqs GotY in 2013 and B8 Tournament as well?

BotW has an 8 vote lead, P5 is not coming back from that.

Yesterday's bout was one for the ages. Nier: Automata exploded right out the gate and had a commanding 8-1 lead, convincing nearly all of us that it was going straight to the finals.

are you really this much of a dope

That was the start of the match.

This match is almost at its end.

Besides if my vote is against the rules, TC has every right to not accept it and consider it invalid.

If it is not against the rules, then I have the right to vote as I see fit.

The two games are practically tied as GotY for me. Normally I'd give the slight edge to BotW but since P5 is losing, I'll vote for it to keep it close.

I'm going to reiterate how much I hate when people do this. And people -always- do this. Even if you are doing this can you just keep it to yourself.

Also these are in fact my top 2 games of the year too.[

BotW has an 8 vote lead, P5 is not coming back from that. Besides the two games are ridiculously close for me to the point where if someone asked me which I liked better a few months later, it could be either one of them.

Persona 5

Anyway you can't go wrong with any of the three remaining games winning the tournament. All Greatest of all Time caliber games.

Super Mario Odyssey

AAI2-5 and especially 2-4 are overrated IMO. 2-4, the entire stalling for time before Maya gets rescued really killed an otherwise great epic case. AAI2-5 which I beat very very recently, has the most underwhelming mastermind imaginable. The more intriguing villains were all used as the killers in lesser cases.

I absolutely loved 5-5 and 5-4 although not included sets it up very nicely. Blackquill was the highlight in that case and the entire Phantom mastermind (I guessed who it was correctly the moment they slightly implied it) thing was gripping from start to finish.

Ranking the epic cases

3-5 > 5-5 > 6-5 > 1-4 > AAI2-5 > 2-4 > 4-4 > 1-5 > AAI1-5

AAI1-5 is really the only bad one though

My favorite Gamecube games
1. Resident Evil 4
2. Metroid Prime
3. Skies of Arcadia Legends
4. Tales of Symphonia
5. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
6. Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance
7. Resident Evil (REmake)
8. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
9. Super Smash Bros. Melee
10. Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem

TC, where can I check the bracket and results for the previous years? The search engine in bracketmaker isn't helping.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Most stylish games
1. Persona 5
2. Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening
3. Yakuza 0 (currently playing)

Also regarding your list, P5 and P3 way too low.

Well I guess if I ever play Yakuza 1 again in the future I'm gonna be playing the Kiwami version.

1 on the PS2 was just so boring after some time. The combat felt stiff and the story felt like it was going nowhere. Although the dub didn't bother me then, I'm pretty sure I'd be extremely bothered now after getting used to 0's awesome Japanese VA.

2, I hear is much better in comparison but I didn't play too much of it because 1 soured my taste on the series.

3, I've played a lot more than 2 and found it just as boring as 1. Being on the PS3, I thought maybe the series got better but nope

4 and 5, I haven't played for reasons stated above.

0 is the consensus best game in the series for a reason though, right? Because it is ****ing awesome so far.

Yakuza 0 is exceeding all kinds of expectations for me. Thought the series was a slog (played 1, 2 and 3 before but never beat any of them). Everything from the main story to sub stories to mini-games is so much fun.

Finished Chapter 9 and I am absolutely hooked to the story. The last few chapters were an edge-of-the-seat thrill ride to say the least. I can't wait to see where the story goes next. And holy **** Tachibana is the Bat Tatoo guy?What the **** does all this mean?.

I seriously can't believe I am having an absolute blast with a Yakuza game. After being the biggest fan of Shenmue, I played Yakuza 1 and 2 with very high expectations. Dropped both of them, a few hours into it because of excessive boredom. Yakuza 3 was just as bad and so I labelled the series, as not my cup of tea. I own Yakuza 4 as well but never tried that one. 5 being digital only didn't help matters and it is the only game in the series I don't own. Didn't think much of it then but I think I really want it now.

Yakuza 0 with all its raving critic and user reviews still kept me skeptical about ever playing it but now that I have, I didn't realize the series has evolved so much while ironically not changing the formula much at all. I guess polishing gameplay and its mechanics goes a long way in video games.

Unless the game implodes from here on out, it may just end up being one of my favorite games from 2017, the undisputed best year in gaming.

Was I really too hard on the first three games? Or is Yakuza 0 just too damn good in comparison? How is 4 and 5?

Persona 5
