Greetings! Welcome to the Games Forum Sheep Game: "Yeah, We're Doing Another One Of These" Edition! This is how the game works: I will post a list of 16 statements. Your job is to provide an answer that you think is the best for each statement. BUT! The object of the game is not necessarily to guess the most correct answer. Rather, the object of this game is to give the most common answer that you think will be given by the rest of the players. For each answer you give, you get a number of points equal to the number of people who also gave that answer. If you say "red" and 10 other people say red, you get 11 points. If you say "blue" and no one else said blue, you get 1 point. The poster with the most points at the end of 16 rounds wins! Note that it is in your best interest to not discuss the game in other threads or IRC, lest you tip your hand on what your answers will be! Our esteemed mod VideoGames has offered free avatar changes for the players who come in the top 5. Want to participate? Great! Please follow this two step process: 1) Submit your entries via email to SASheepGame@gmail.com (NO PMs PLEASE). The subject line should include your SA username and "Sheep Game Entry" (e.g. "Closed-Down Pizza Parlor sheep game entry"). Your answers should be in the body of the message. Please submit your answers with one answer on each line, in order, and with no numbers and no questions. This will save me a bunch of editing time. 2) Re-read Step 1 and make sure you didn't gently caress it up, or you'll probably get disqualified! The deadline for entries is approximately one week; I will post a 24 hour notice before I stop taking submissions. Once submissions are closed I will determine a reveal date. This will be done "liveblog" style, i.e. I'll reveal each round of answers one at a time over the course of a few hours. Once again: DO NOT INCLUDE THE NUMBERS OR QUESTION TEXT ON YOUR ENTRY FORM! Got it? Okay. Here are the statements. 1. This video game console is the greatest console ever made. 2. This video game console is the worst console ever made. 3. This person is the one I have the most respect for among people who are/were involved with making video games. 4. This person is/was a blight on the gaming industry and never should have gotten involved with making video games. 5. This video game company is the one I look on most favorably in the gaming industry. 6. This video game company is the one I look on most unfavorably in the gaming industry. 7. If I could bring back one now-defunct video game company and make it successful again, it would be this one. 8. This recent trend in video games needs to end more than any other. 9. This video game series is the one I am most disappointed about not receiving a sequel recently. 10. This currently-running video game series was once great, but is now a shadow of its former self, and needs to be ended more than any other. 11. This video game brings back the fondest memories of playing it with friends. (Answers from the same series will be lumped together for this question.) 12. This video game had a greater long-term impact on gaming as a whole than any other game. 13. This video game is the prime example of a great story in gaming. 14. This video game has the single greatest soundtrack of any game. 15. This video game is the most disappointing video game of 2017. 16. This video game is the greatest video game of 2017. Once again: DO NOT INCLUDE THE NUMBERS OR QUESTION TEXT ON YOUR ENTRY FORM! Undying gratitude goes to TheOneAndOnlyT, who ran the original one and whose OP I plagiarized a hell of a lot. Good luck!

That last question is so much harder than last year's. There's too many to choose from.

How do you define "currently running" series for question #10? Does it need to simply not be officially dead, or is there a statute of limitations on how recent the latest game in the series must be?

# ? Oct 12, 2017 20:22 |

Just sent mine out. I admit it was kinda hard to not go for what I wanted and instead to go for the most popular. The story and music choices took forever.

This list seems tougher than the last one. Probably because 2017 has been such a great for games and a bunch of new Metroid stuff has come out/been announced.

10 was difficult. Many series that suck now but actually wanting them to end instead of just no longer caring is weird. And I pretty much just guessed 14 since that's something I have no real sense for whatsoever.

for what it's worth, the soundtrack question was the one I was least sure about; I don't know whether it's a good or bad thing that people seem to struggle with it.
|
# ? Oct 13, 2017 16:01 |

I'm probably an outlier in that, mind, don't really have a thing or "get" music in general. To me a soundtrack in a game is something that's just there but I don't notice unless it's particularly bad, but I know other folks can gush about that kind of thing.

some people seem to be interpreting the last question in a very curious way, so I'll mention: i intended it to mean games released in 2017

2017 has been so crazy filled with good games so far this year, and it's even crazier to think that if you waited a month to post this, there would be 2-4 more contenders for that.

All right, y'all ready to do this? I'm about to do this. I'll take a page out of TheOneAndOnlyT's book and do them one post at a time, posting the scores between each one Most of the answers were pretty clear cut, but there was one question in particular that I hemmed and hawed for a really long time over whether or not to combine a pair of answers; you'll see when we get there. Also, each question preview will have a couple of images of possible answers. Please note that these may or may not have anything to do with how many people gave that answer. The images are meant to give an idea of what some people selected, and to get you thinking about possible answers you might have forgotten. Question 1: This video game console is the greatest console ever made.
