...the eagle eyed among you may have spotted that 37 points from 4 lists gives TLoU2 an average score of 9.25. That is high but it’s not the highest average in our countdown…

As I said before, this thread is fully responsible for me getting Blue Reflection: Second Light. I hope you’re happy thread :colbert:.

Ive literally just fixed a roof and already considering it in my top games of 2022.

let's see how high we can get it in 2022

I've been meaning to replay in NG+, beause the character relationship math works out to only being able to max out one or two people on ng and I want to see all the capstones

Uh oh, I do so hate to be the bearer of bad news but such is the harsh nature of our countdown. Some games will soar to success, others will crash and burn into obscurity. We’re not even in the top 50 and we’re already about to see the first big 2021 release make its appearance. Which game has failed to leave its mark? Could it be Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart? Or perhaps it’s Halo Infinite? We’ll find out now as we reveal your #52…

Oof, the official TGA Game of the Year doesn’t even crack your top 50. It’s an absolute disaster for It Takes Two. But then what other fate could there be for a game that expected goons to have friends they play video games with!

VG: Geoff Keighly just called me to tell me he is super upset about this and he will not let me back for the TGAs next year.

Only the second one, though. The first game is totally skippable besides of course the amazing OST which carried over into 2.

I said there were four FromSoft games in our countdown, this marks the third of them. That just leaves a certain katana-wielding ninja to carry their hopes as we move on to the top 50.

Oh my friends, I hate to do this for I know how impatient you all must be but your gracious host is in need of refreshments. The countdown will have to be paused while I take care of these needs but we will return at 7:00pm GMT/2:00pm EST with your top 50. And do not fret! In the meantime you will be entertained by our intermission act as performed by my wonderful co-host VideoGames who will be reimagining the plot of Final Fantasy VII in the medium of interpretive dance. Please enjoy the festivities, I’ll be back with you soon!

Only 2 not in top 75 and only 3 not in top 50. And I'm not remotely surprised considering I picked two obscure as hell games from previous years.

Half of my list made it, of course my #1 is out because I counted it as Heavensward instead of Endwalker.

I've only seen one of my picks so far, way down in the didn't chart category, but that's because I'm a boring mainstream gamer and everything else I picked is probably in the top 20

Looks like all of mine bar one are in the top 50:

10. Metro Exodus - Not on list
09. R&C Rift Apart -
08. NieR Replicant -
07. Bowser’s Fury -
06. Metroid Dread -
05. The Forgotten City -
04. Hades -
03. Returnal -
02. Hollow Knight -
01. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice -

Although my search function was being wonky earlier so maybe Hollow Knight isn’t in the top 75 either and it just wasn’t showing up

I have 4 picks that are at least going to make the Top 50, one that placed just outside that at #55, and the rest were pity picks. A couple might make the Top 10 still but they weren't my favorites. Probably my most antigoon hivemind year yet.
