I could live with no Automata in the top 63, but I don't want to think about the alternative.

---

Hopefully the other one

---

I severely doubt they don't both make it.

---

Honestly not that excited about most of the games that will probably show up, still got a horse in this race though.

+10 Mother 3
+9 Doki Doki Literature Club
+8 Iji
+7 To the Moon
+6 Super Paper Mario
+5 Celeste
+4
+3 Portal 2
+2 Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
+1 The Stanley Parable

Tossed the other two up because they aren't in the top ten, lol

I assumed they both would but KP mentioned something about leeching votes that made me reconsider.

---

FFX most likely got a lot of nostalgia goggles votes

It was my first RPG, I was like 13 and just getting into gaming as I was a huge sports kid prior to that time. Friend turned me onto it and I was just totally engrossed the entire time


---

+10 Deus Ex
+9 Planescape: Torment
+8
+7 Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
+6 Chrono Trigger
+5 Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
+4
+3 Portal 2
+2 Suikoden 2
+1 Grim Fandango

8 will make it. I doubt 4 does now, as we are into top 10 and I just don't see it. Someone else voted for it tho so it def got some recognition.

---

Also saying FFX making it sucks because "branch out" and then posting a top 10 that is like 50% VNs is kinda gold just saying

I mean that's me branching out! I didn't use to play those games.

---

I would not be surprised if Automata takes it all. I think they will both make it.

Edit: In no real order I think it will be:

Nier
Nier Automata
Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy VII
Virtues Last Reward
Ace Attorney Trials and Tribulations
Metal Gear Solid 3
Silent Hill 2
Undertale
...and no idea on the last one!

---

+10
+9 Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean
+8 The Last of Us
+7 Death Stranding
+6 Metal Gear Solid
+5
+4 Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors
+3 Killer7
+2 Bioshock
+1 What Remains of Edith Finch

---

Actually come to think of it, KP has officially de-confirmed most of my list so I can go ahead and post this:

+10
+9
+8 Dies irae: Amantes Amentes
+7 Fate/Stay Night
+6 Final Fantasy Tactics
+5 Vagrant Story
+4 Root Double -Before Crime * After Days- Xtend Edition
+3 Rewrite
+2 Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
+1 Ever17: Out of Infinity

A tad disappointed that FSN didn't make it, I thought it was decently popular on here (judging by old MPFC topics anyway).
---

I like Fate/Stay Night quite a bit but I'd probably only put it in like a top 25 list or something.

Still meant to play Dies Irae one of these days :(
---

Mine's mostly deconfirmed too.

+10 Higurashi When They Cry Kai
+9 Song of Saya - Saya no Uta
+8 Tsukihime
+7 Vagrant Story
+6
+5 Planescape: Torment
+4
+3
+2 Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords
+1 Final Fantasy VI

One of my other three will make it, but I think the other two have no chance.

Sad Higurashi didn't get on, since I thought it had a decent shot. I know Tsukihime and Saya no Uta would never make it. I considered F/SN.
---

Ahhhhh Song of Saya.

Its definitely the most remarkable story...

Life is Strange is almost certainly top 10. Im not really that sure about Silent Hill 2, but definitely possible.

My predictions are here:

+10 Deus Ex
+9
+8 Witcher 3
+7 Chrono Trigger
+6
+5 To The Moon
+4 Deus Ex: Human Revolution
+3 Telltale's The Walking Dead: Season 1
+2 Portal 2
+1

Don't think my +9 makes it but I still believe. +6 and +1 definitely do.

+10
+9
+8 Spec Ops: The Line
+7
+6
+5
+4 Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
+3
+2
+1 Mass Effect 2

---

+10
+9
+8
+7
+6 Persona 5

I only sent in 5 for some reason! I'm thinking two of my top 4 make it and two don't

---

At this point, it's looking like the only game from my list that isn't going to make the final list is Shadow Hearts: Covenant.

---

That would have made my top 15!

---

also on my short list

---

I feel like I would have put Shadow Hearts: Covenant on a top 20 list, but I also feel like I've already thought that about at least 10 other games, so maybe not.

---

+10 Mother 3
+9 Final Fantasy Tactics
+8 Dark Souls
+7
+6
+5 Xenogears
+4
+3 Portal 2
+2
+1

Pleasantly surprised to see Xenogears and Portal 2 wind up so high on the list.

---

I should probably abstain from predictions.

---

NieR in top 10? Bless.

Automata making it in top 10 is lame but I'm glad the OG is getting a remake so the bandwagon can finally experience it and forget Automata and its mediocre soundtrack.


---

O...ok...

---

I wonder how high Xenosaga will be.
---

(Metal Gear Solid 2)

One if the 2s that stayed on my final list.

I'm sure at least one more of my 2s shows up as well.

---

+10 Lenna's Inception
+9 Danganronpa V3
+8
+7
+6
+5
+4 What Remainds of Edith Finch
+3 Defender's Quest: Valley of the Forgotten
+2 Bioshock
+1

Revealing my +3 since I'm confident it's not there. My other games are all theoretically possible, although I doubt I see the +5 or the +1 at this point. +6 and +8 are absolutely happening, and +7 might as well depending on how many people have played Firewatch.

Utawarerumono Mask of Deception & Mask of Truth
Red Dead Redemption2
To the Moon

I suspect I'm one of the few on the board who's only played the original Utawarerumono.

It's a shame we finally managed to get a game with a story I wouldn't consider a good thing.

Grim Fandango and Witcher 3 both suffer from me not playing the whole things. I did play all of GF disc 1, but I hated the controls, and it constantly crashed a ways into disc 2. I also hated pretty much every aspect of the gameplay in Witcher 3, and didn't get up to the parts of the story that're supposed to be good, alas. Kinda want to get it on PC and mod the shit out of it so that I can like move at 10x speed and end every combat in a second or something.

VLR will be the only game in the top 10 I haven't played (assuming it's here). I wasn't that into 999, don't have a Vita, and was antsy about getting the 3DS version with its reported bugs. Would still like to check it out sometime though, since most seem to like it better. Hopefully it's still playable if I haven't played 999 since that game came out in 2010 or 2011.

I watched the anime which I think is generally considered a good adaptation?
---

Only my +8, +7, +5 remain.

I have 100% confidence that my +7 will make it and 90% for +5. But I can see +8 going either way.

Yeah, it's fine. It's ZTD that relies more heavily on the player having played VLR/999.

---

The PS4 version is the best version of VLR and ZTD anyways, do you have one of those?

---

my list so far

+10 The Beginner's Guide
+9 Disco Elysium
+8 The Walking Dead: A Telltale Games Series
+7 ??? (99.99% sure this didn't make it)
+6 ??? (100% sure this made it)
+5 Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
+4 Gone Home
+3 What Remains of Edith Finch
+2 ??? (99.99% sure this didn't make it)
+1 Her Story

Currently playing through the remake Prelude to the Fallen. With as far as I've gotten (maybe halfway), so far it feels like the anime covered all the beats, even the slice of life segments.

I just wish Visual Novels weren't all filled with anime characters. I like the genre but get turned off by the stuff that's too anime-like.

I should probably play Disco Elysium.
