Support NeoGAF

[Rickenslacker]

I'm super happy with the outcome. The rightful #1 game won. (At least from the few games I had time to play in 2013)

Even with its lack of AAA high production values?

 

[Locust]

You should run the 2014 vote sometime in 2016 so every nominee gets their deep discounts. :v

 

[Tizoc]

What's that Mario gif from?
Also if the top 20 Steamgaf games are already posted, could someone type them please? At work and the images don't open up =/

 

[Whools]

Great work to everyone who put together the GOTY list, The pictures are especially impressive.

 

[NaM]

I see what you did there.

The banned GAFer who keeps on giving!

Did I miss something?

 

[sprinkles]

It seems weird to me that old games are making it on the list just because of them being released on Steam in 2013.

That was kinda the point of this GOTY.

But I admit I had trouble at first finding five deserving games that I played actually released in 2013. Most of my gaming time went into the backlog, my "real" first choices I played last year would have been Dark Souls and Mark of the Ninja.

 

[Wok]

Did I miss something?

I think he voted five times for Bio.

 

[zkylon]

Its going to be $3 for those of us with coupons. Can't wait.

oh yeah for 3 bucks you should totally get it

it's also really short, you can go through it in one sitting (took me 3 tho ). I know people like their games long but I kinda like that

This entire vote was Steam specific to begin with. Why wouldn't any game released during the past year on Steam not qualify for a Top Steam Game for 2013 list?

 

[NaM]

I think he voted five times for Bio.

Who is "he"?

 

[Dusk Golem]

Holy hell, you guys are posting They Live In A Castle GIFs. I didn't realize it was getting popular. Several of the people working on it are long-time friends I've known for ages. So happy for them. <3

 

[oipic]

System Shock 2 at #17

Not bad all things considered.

Happy with this.

I wonder how many of those who voted for it had played it for the first time, as opposed to those, like me, who may have had nostalgia-tinted glasses on?

 

[Grief.exe]

Who is "he"?

He got banned.

Was a huge troll and jerk

 

[denx]

Balls, I forgot Duke Nukem 3D released on 2013 on Steam.

shit

 

[Turfster]

Who is "he"?

Iseeyou I think it was.
You know, the dick that ignored everyone that disagreed with him.

 

[Freezard]

Happy with this.

Having played it for the first time, a lot of it has to be nostalgia.

 

[cicero]

I'm going to get something to eat, there must be an error or two in there, the data is all there if you want a have a gander.

I vote that you bring back your old avatar...

 

[Kanokare]

Never played Rogue Legacy, but I can agree with the top 10. Well done on picking a balanced (imo) list, GAF.

 

[I H8 Memes]

Amazing! Must be one hell of a game!

Soon, if not already, there will be more people playing Dota 2 than every other game on Steam combined. I thought gaf was better then this. Turns out Steamgaf's vote wasnt much different from every other game website. For shame.

Some day we will have to answer to our children for this!

 

[Smash88]

Even with its lack of AAA high production values?

I voted based on what I played in 2013. If I had the time to play and try every other game I might have gone with something else, such as Bioshock Infinite. I just never had the time to try Bioshock Infinite, so it never made my list.

If I had played it, it would be #1 now. As Rogue Legacy was in my #1 spot.

 

[ArjanN]

This quote makes it seem like like BI is a great shooter, but the actual gunplay is just OK. It's only really the story and art direction that lift it above the crowd.

 

[corrosivefrost]

For anyone interested, Amazon sale list has been updated. Including this little gem:

Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons [Online Game Code] - 7.99

Yes.

If I liked it more, I'd buy some copies for $3 to give away. But...

Time to go check the list for something worth buying!

 

[KenOD]

Thanks to this list I see that Neo Scavenger is the difficult, complicated, you will die, story driven turn based game that I've been looking for on Steam for a while.

Early access so I will give it a while before I buy it, but I do believe that the demo should provide me plenty to do on this plane ride in a bit.

[Widdly Scuds]

If the voting took place after/during the Steam sale I'm sure the results would have been different. I didn't vote for LLTQ or CSD because I hadn't played them at the time but now that I have, I would have had them in my top 5.

Curse the uninformed voter.

Only three? I'm not sure whether to be impressed or disappointed.

 

[NaM]

Thanks guys, I didn't know (or remembered) he was banned.

 

[Pops Maellard]

Nah, it's a great shooter. Whole package is indeed incredible though. Glad to see that it really is only a vocal minority on GAF who dislike it.

[Khronico]

Eh........ Pretty dissapointed guys. No Teleglitch? No Euro Truck? No Ys Chronicles??? NO TELEGLITCH?????

Edit: If you take the top 20 as an unordered list of good games this year it's pretty good except for a few outliers.

 

[legacyzero]

 

[Nzyme32]

It seems weird to me that old games are making it on the list just because of them being released on Steam in 2013... Where's my King's Quest guys??

This is a GOTY entirely steam related. It doesn't matter how old they originally were, it only matters that they were released in 2013. To some, those games are new, and to others the games are old. You could claim that people might vote for older games just because of nostalgia, but I'd argue that others don't vote for those games specifically because they are older and not as fresh for those people. I am one of the latter.

 

[Momentary]

Valdis Story getting 32nd place... Sounds good. It didn't start picking up steam until the last week of the sale.

 

[chubigans]

I'd like to thank everyone who voted for making this possible. 2014 will be the year that my next game will get to #67, or even #65.

Since the developer of Rogue Legacy couldn't be here today I am also accepting his first place award on his behalf.

I am looking forward to this one in its finished state.

 

[Dr Dogg]

Mucho gracias Señor Naranja.

Great inaugural awards.

 

[Arthea]

Mr Orange, good work!

Quennie would be higher (a lot) if vote took place after the sale.

The reason why I find DOTA2 not being in top 5 funny: it is one of most played games on steam, if not most, considering playing hours and amount of people, but I guess it's true that DOTA players not only have no time for other games, but for steam thread and voting too!

edited: just noticed how high Path of Exile is! Is it really that good?

 

[Tesseract]

haha. I hope you made a bundle during the Steam flash sale!

This quote makes it seem like like BI is a great shooter, but the actual gunplay is just OK. It's only really the story and art direction that lift it above the crowd.

I must one of the few that really loved the combination of Vigors and Guns and the Sky Rails. Mixing it up every time, never stopping, always moving.
Shadow Warrior is very similar in the way you combine guns, magic-like Karma powers and of course your Sword Abilities.

Must be why both games are #2 and #1 on my list. Liked the story in both, loved the gunplay and graphics.

 

[Jørdan]

Some day we will have to answer to our children for this!

Jshackles gets laid though, that's what he did with the other 2053 hrs.

Thanks for the all the work you put into the awards Mr Orange, much appreciated.

My votes:

5. Papers, Please
4. Gone Home
3. System Shock 2
2. Final Fantasy VIII
1. Final Fantasy VII

 

[Momentary]

Shouldn't there be a separate thread for the SteamGAF awards. It's pretty notable if you ask me.

 

[Burgerface]

Nah, it's a great shooter. Whole package is indeed incredible though. Glad to see that it really is only a vocal minority on GAF who dislike it.

Couldn't agree more, picked it up during the sale and just finished it a few days ago. What a great game, and that ending.

 

[Lain]

I guess I was the only one to vote for 99 Spirits. That's too bad =p

 

[Turfster]

Since the developer of Rogue Legacy couldn't be here today I am also accepting his first place award on his behalf.

If the vote had been after the sales, you'd have shot to number 1, or at least the top 3 with a bullet. Your game is amazing and you should feel damn proud of it.

Shouldn't there be a separate thread for the SteamGAF awards. It's pretty notable if you ask me.

Mods asked to keep it in the thread so as not to muddy the waters with the overall GAF GOTY (and have people clamoring for extra GOTY threads per system)

 

[Slyjss]

Great job with the SteamGAF GOTYs, MrOrange. Those graphs were specially nice. I managed to get 4 of my votes into the top 10, only Proteus was left behind. Like, position 102 behind.

More importantly, no risk of rain?! Seriously, so good and addicting.
