BFTD Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 (edited) Wow. This means that I wasn't the only one to vote for classic Doom this time. I may celebrate this change in fortunes the same way that I celebrate everything: by playing classic Doom. Edit: also means that five of my choices are now out. Anyone else had a more unpopular top ten so far? Edited March 21, 2021 by BFTD 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call of Duty: Warzone 9. Burnout 3: Takedown 10. NBA Jam 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) Fairly confident my top 4 will all be one voters from m. Will be kicking off if specific games finish above my number 5 anaw.

GiGi Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 My top 2 will probably be up there, certainly one of them will because lots of people will have voted for it, and the other because the few people who did pick it (won't be more than 3 I imagine) will all have ranked it highly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted March 22, 2021 Author Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) IN JOINT 69TH PLACE, WITH 9 POINTS FROM 2 VOTES Game: Doom Platform: PC Release date: 1993 Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFnOLFd_ByQ Poll-maker questions: This is on sale on the PS store right now for £1.70 or something. Is it worth it? Game: Crash Bandicoot N.

I don't know when I'll get to them since there's three of them and they're hard but it's there. Hopefully I have a better time of it than any of the times I've tried the original PlayStation versions of 1 and 2.

Gaz Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I'm maybe just being picky, but can a remake of a trilogy be considered "a" game? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on how much you need the £1.70 I don't know about playing it on a console, but it's still great fun on PC, and you've access to almost thirty years of source ports, mods, and total conversions. Frankly, if I was locked up for life (who'd be surprised) and could only take one game, it'd be Doom. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is actually two votes condensed as one It's the only case where this comes up and since it's three games on one disc and released as a standalone thing (you can't buy them individually), it's fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Thompson Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Only two of my votes have appeared so far. But given one of them was Shenmue and it finished below Destruction Fuckin Derby I think I win ... or lose 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SANTAN Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I think 4 or 5 of mine have been up, can't even remember my list fully tbf but I know Fortnite and Star Wars Battlefront 2 have came up however I am thoroughly convinced that my number 1 choice will win. (I say this but I didnt submit my list in a top 10 order so it might not even be my first selection but it would be top 3 and is easily my favourite game and will deffo win) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamish's Passenger Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 It appears I’m a bit of a sheep with my gaming as only 3 of my games have come out thus far. 5 - XIII6 - Gears of War 210 - Jungle Strike 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted March 22, 2021 Author Share Posted March 22, 2021 IN JOINT 58TH, WITH 9 POINTS FROM 1 VOTE Game: L.A. Noire Platform: PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC Release date: 2011 Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1VyskSNq2o Zero Punctuation review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2Z7EGPSfDE Poll-maker comments: I liked this. I still do, or at least like the thought of it. I'd like to play the PS4 version at some point to go through it all again. Game's lasting cultural impact outside video games: Game: Chrono Trigger Platform: SNES, PlayStation Release date: 1995 Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEcwtSkRz2Q Poll-maker comments: Another forum I post on did one of these polls years ago and this won by miles. I don't really know what it is, but the people who like it really like it. Game: Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back Platform: PlayStation Release date: 1997 Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmnq7yedAzI Poll-maker comments: I know it's a bit churlish to include this separately from the N.Sane trilogy but the three votes were all for these specific things. This is one of those games I have fond memories of despite never coming close to finishing it or getting the most out of it. Game: Assassin's Creed Valhalla Platform: PlayStation 4;5, Xbox One; Series X/S, PC Release date: 2020 Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FApX-M_DrDc Zero Punctuation review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65qhONjnOpQ User comments: "Vibrant world, AC finally have built a delightful RPG, raiding through England is something I never knew I needed."

Gameplay that melds multiple genres to suit unexpectedly deep storytelling. Multiple endings that makes it feel like 5 seasons of television spread across 30 hours of a game. Still surprised this exists and was so successful given it feels like a cult classic" Poll-maker comments: I don't have a fucking clue what this, but I know that lots of boys and girls on the internet like dressing up as the main character. Draw from that what you will. Game: F1 Career Challenge Platform: Xbox, PlayStation 2, PC, GameCube Release date: 2003 Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6T29yKWBRlU Game: Return of the Obra Dinn Platform: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC Release date: 2018 Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49raSPavxDI Zero Punctuation review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyGjG6F0ZQs Game: Divinity: Original Sin II Platform: PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch Release date: 2017 Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHD-PQHzNmE Game: Batman: Arkham City Platform: Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC Release date: 2011 Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efqVTukgYWY Zero Punctuation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfFljXE47wA User comments: "Arkham Asylum was a great game, and they somehow improved upon it with the sequel. Mark Hamill cements his place as the best Joker (f**k off, Jared Leto and Joaquin Phoenix), and Kevin Conroy is Batman. There's an immense amount of fun in skelping seven shades of shite out of goons and bad guys, then flicking a wee batarang at another goon as you exit stage left. There are drawbacks - it doesn't have the atmosphere of Asylum - but you forget about that when you rock up to the Mr Freeze boss fight." Poll-maker backlog status: I'm going to have to start these sooner or later, the steelbook is making eyes at me and realising that this game is nearly ten years old is just making me feel horrible.

Bought it again on Switch a few years ago, and couldn't finish it cos frankly it was pish. The dreadful port didn't help mind. Nier: Automata - another game I didn't finish or like. I really don't understand the hype behind it all, I didn't like anything about it. Return of the Obra Dinn - brilliant game. Very unique in its delivery and art style. Was a breath of fresh air playing it. Divinity: Original Sin II - This was my 2nd place vote. I can't believe not one other person has voted for this. I'm disappointed. For me it's the best RPG of all time. Bar none. 58th place is a tragedy. If it had been a top 11 I'd probably have voted for Divinity: OS2. I'll probably write more about it tomorrow, but rest assured I think it's fucking magic 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 LA Noire came close to making my top ten. I understand the criticisms that people have with it, but there isn't much like it around and it scratched an itch that I didn't know I had. Reminded me of a modern version of the Sierra game Police Quest, only written by James Ellroy. All about the characters, crimes, and setting, and it all clicked with me. Shame nobody's tried to have another go and improve on the formula. Incidentally, anyone playing on PC should definitely download the wee program that unlocks the frame rate cap, as it plays SO much better at 60fps than 30, and I'm by no means a frame rate whore. There's one puzzle that glitches out at 60fps for some reason, but you just drop down to 30fps when you hit it, then back again. Well worth your time. Really annoyed with myself that I haven't bought Return of the Obra Dinn yet, as Papers, Please is a tremendous game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
