My daughter, age 5, loves this game. She struggles with platformers but also paradoxically believes she is the best to ever hold a controller, resulting in a low frustration threshold for her own failure. She is pathologically incapable of uttering the phrase “could you please help me” when it comes to any facet of her life.

I'm in this post and I don't like it

I was using the 2018 data to test my vote counting script and I think I found a few errors. The first is that three goons, cyclical, JBP, and Zephro weren't counted. Notably, if they were counted Pillars of Eternity 2 would be at #5 instead of #9.





The second, and more notable, is that in training had their vote counted as Monster Hunter World when it was for Monster Hunter Generations:

Wow, what a day. What a countdown. What a moment. I'm enthralled. An absolute belter of a top 10, Mario Wonder and FF16 coming out of nowhere to hit hard and of course a huge top trio with Baldur's Gate 3 being a worthy addition to our GOTY Hall of Fame. Truly the taste levels of this forum are off the hook. I just want to say a massive thank you to Veeg for delivering a top quality countdown. 2023 was a real rough year for ya girl Rarity and back in May I decided to pull back from gaming to spend more out in the world doing stuff - hence me not putting in a list or running this thread (although for the record from the few games I played last FF14 A Realm Reborn woulda been my #1). But I know how much effort it takes to manage this thing and VG has been an absolute warrior to make it happen. It's been really reassuring to know that my baby was being well cared for. I also want to say a massive thank you to everyone who submitted a list this year. I have read almost all of them, each one has brought me so much joy and really challenged my resolve to stay away from gaming. And the last few entries I still haven't finished, I promise you I will! Give yourselves a round of applause goons, it's you that make GOTY the delight that it is.

Mods, to celebrate this day I demand to be hit with a Nice badge sixer :colbert:

Just to give everyone some perspective on this quote discussion, that is absolutely the part of this operation that is the most work. Last year I spent the entirety of Jan 1st to Jan 3rd just reading though everyone's lists to pull out appropriate quotes before even starting the actual writing bits. Which don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed doing it but it's a huge time investment. I fully understand VG focusing on quality over quantity here.
