I'm not planning on voting because this thread really hasn't been executed well. Sorry to anyone involved.

No one was voting strategically last year. The voting was fair, the results were fair. This year we've had a mid-thread locking, unlocking, and rules change, a bunch of people are going to have to revote, and the resulting system doesn't provide any real improvement from last year's.

Really? You get ten points, and you get to give one game 3 points and distribute your other seven by giving other games from one to two points each or if you want you can split the 3 points into multiple games but if you do that every game has to get two points or one point? *shrugs*

First of all, thanks timetokill for all the effort you put on making this thread.
And I missed the locked voting thread/the reasons it was closed, so I'm not sure what happened there.
But I think the previous rules worked better. No one comes here with the "strategy vote" in mind, what would they win by doing that?
That said, this year I find myself in a position where I can either give two/more games the same amount of points, or else the difference of points between them is 2/3 or more.
Going by my list of games I was going to vote for, I can't pick a game to simply give 3, while the others will get 2 points max, the gap is too big. And I also don't find it fair to give them all the same points, because there were some I enjoyed more than others.
I won't be voting this year, and I didn't come here to boycott the thread, just thought I'd give my opinion on this year's rules.

I'm amazed at how few votes CoD:MW2 is getting. Actually, it looks like Killzone 2 currently has it beat. I didn't vote for either game, but I didn't play MW2 as I'm burnt out on shooters. What happened with MW2? Does it suck compared to the original? It's just surprising given that it had the largest opening of any game ever with regards to sales. Obviously, sales does not equal quality, but I would figure MW2 would still put up a good showing here. I actually wonder if it will even be in the top 5...

I've never heard anyone quibble so much about something so insignficant as gaf's game of the year voting...As if it were supposed to be scientific or something.

It's a great game, but full of very specific flaws that ruin the experience for some people. Also GAF is full of weeaboos that can't embrace their inner bro.

what the hell do you want then, a system based on decimals and not whole numbers? Again, seems awfully nitpicky for something that is suppose to be a rather fun activity.

This is how I felt. The Top 10 style was fine. Even GiantBomb is doing this with their user GOTY awards. And I was looking forward to making my top 10 for GAF as well. (I'm still making one for myself, but still..)

 

[Neuromancer]

It's like a motorcycle trick game, like a 2D platformer but with 3D graphics. I think there was a PC version but also a XBLA version.
