Fun times as always, thank you to the hosts and participants. I can’t help but feel like I let down Griftlands. Maybe we all let down Griftlands.

exquisite tea posted:Great job Rarity and VG hosting a GOTY thread in a year that didn't even have any video games. I don't know how you managed to pull it off, but you succeeded. Already looking forward to 2022 where I believe experts have predicted there will be some games. Apparently there will be exactly one (1) game and its name is Elden Ring

Bayonetta 3 is hopefully coming in 2022 and I might have to buy a Nintendo console for it. Horrible I know.

I don't even have the brain space for new games. My 2022 list is probably going to be FF7R (I'm most of the way through and loving it), Yakuza 0 if I ever actually finish it and a ton of Switch games if I make good on that purchase. Plus Disco Elysium again

My personal anticipated GOTY 2022 top three is: AI The Nirvana Institute, Final Fantasy Stranger of Paradise, and Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak. We'll see how those three end up doing in the end...Jay Rust posted:If anyone wants to take the time to repost their 2020 list and talk about whether they’d change any of it, a year later, I would eagerly read your thoughts Here is 2020 HM: Miles Morales 10. Lonely Mountains Downhill 9. Animal Crossing 8. Personal 5 Royal 7. Tony Hawk 1+2 6. Yakuza Kiwami 2 5. Dark Souls 4. Paper Mario Origami King 3. 13 Sentinels 2. Yakuza LAD 1. Hades 10 through 4 are fine I think (maybe Animal Crossing and Kiwami 2 go up--I'm judging Royal based on what I had played by that point, not the third semester content), but I don't think I got the top 3 right. I recognized the Hades was the technically superior game of the three, but in the time since I've started identifying "game of the year" with "most personally significant game to me." In that case, what have I continued thinking and talking about this year? 13 Sentinels, baby. So 13 Sentinels would be my #1. Not sure if I'd put Hades at 2 or 3. I am proud to name 13 Sentinels as my 2021 2020 Game of the Year. wuggles fucked around with this message at 16:24 on Jan 9, 2022 |

My Top 6 in 2020 were:quote:6. Vigil: The Longest Night In revision, I would have taken CP2077 off the list and left everything else the same. SOR4 is such a banger and it's only grown on me since.

You lose it when you have finished the 3rd expansion Shadowbringers and all its patches and have played at least 300 hours.

What Remains of Edith Finch 9. Frog Detective 1+2 8. The Last of Us 7. SYNTHETIK 6. Paper Mario: The Origami King 5. Grim Dawn 4. Outer Wilds 3. Monster Hunter: World - Iceborne 2. Anodyne 2: Return to Dust 1. Control In hindsight I placed Control and Paper Mario too high. I found the RPG system and battles in Paper Mario extremely boring so I never finished it. Control starts out super creepy and mysterious but quickly turns from David Lynch to Christopher Nolan. Still really good, but I was hoping it was going to be a little more scary instead of just strange. Monster Hunter's gameplay stood the test of time and Anodyne 2 is super good in its own right so either of them should have been GOTY. Synthetik is tight and should have swapped places with Paper Mario at least. If anything this massive BLUNDER has taught me to never again rank a #1 game that I haven't finished.

hey i got on the "nobody's blues but my own" list i love this game, and it has legitimately my favorite cast of characters in any 2021 game. the combat is a bit wonky, the sidequests are really undercooked and there's some jank, but the music and presentation is top-notch and i actually did get into the combat after some practice.

That and the 2 hour long queues. After awhile I had to mute Shout, FC and my hunt linkshells chats because they kept spoiling zones and dungeons.

My 2020 list was 10-Hollow Knight 9-Frog Fractions 3 8-Carrion 7-Timespinner 6-Spelunky 2 5-Horizon's Gate 4-Control 3-Disco Elysium 2-Animal Crossing: New Horizons 1-Hades If I were to order these 10 games now, I think I would move up Hollow knight, and move down Carrion and Time Spinner. All three are metroidvanias, but Carrion and Time Spinner are the shorter, punchier experiences. Hollow Knight is a bit more sprawling than it really needs to be in my opinion, but it does linger better in my mind and so probably deserves the higher spot. I would also probably switch Disco Elysium and Animal Crossing. It's been a year since I visited my island and I've basically never thought about it if someone else didn't bring it up. Didn't even seriously consider revisiting after the big content patch. Meanwhile, it's been more than a year since I've visited Revachol and I think about it at least once a month.

I've done a bit of data exploration! First, I really liked the ordinations someone did last year--a kind of graph that shows how closely aligned different variables (in this case, votes) are with each other. There's a bit of a snag though--the way the math works, an ordination only really works if the data is kind of predictable. In this case, that would mean something like, if you know how someone cast three of their votes, you have a decent-ish guess as to how they cast the rest. But you goons are just too dang unpredictable for that to be true. In order to have a reasonable chance of guessing how you ranked Metroid Dread, I'd need to know how you ranked all nine of the other top ten games. Still, graphs are fun, so here's an ordination, with that big grain of salt. The way you read this is that arrows pointing in the same direction are correlated--if someone ranked one highly, they were more likely to rank the other one highly (but not by very much, because of the aforementioned unpredictability). The dots represent where all the goon votes fell in this view of the data. Second, I thought I'd test Stux's hypothesis: Stux posted:do a tally of how many ffxiv posts were less than 10 games vs how many non-ffxiv posts included multiple over the 10 bcos it was hard to choose. the results will be [dr evil finger] Interesitng Checking which lists had over 10 was a pain in the rear end cause the dataset I had didn't record those, so I just checked people with the full 10 votes vs having less than 10. And the results are... No statistically significant difference between the percentage of XIV voters who cast the full 10 votes compared to the percentages of non-XIV voters who cast the full 10 votes. The fisher test returned p=0.29, well outside the bounds of rejecting the null hypothesis. It seems Stux is the one who needs to read another book...a statistics book. The actual exciting part of the data exploration coming in a minute, it'll format better as two posts
