Sent in my votes, and here they are for anyone who is curious (why would you be?)
GOTY:
(5 Points) - HITMAN
(4 Points) - Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight
(3 Points) - Xanadu Next
(2 Points) - Dark Souls III
(1 Point) - The Witness
DLC:
(3 Points) - Dark Souls III, Ashes of Ariandel
I almost put Baba Yaga on the DLC list, but I actually don't like the game that much, so I would have been rewarding it for just coming out, which would have been dumb.
Didn't play any early access games in 2016.

Nobody tried for the Nighmares from the Deep and Grim Legends raffles? Shame on you, GAF, those are actually good hidden-object games...

Noo, not Spider-man! I even asked about it during the sale (twice!) and nobody responded...
Screw it, let's do this:
If it was anything but Spider-man, I'd never pay this much for this stuff. For the record, if anyone is looking to snag these before they're gone, Humble Bundle is the cheapest if you use the 10% off for subbing to Humble Monthly, and if you put 5% of the purchase back into your wallet for later (or split it up into 2 orders, like I did).
Doing it that way (buying the franchise pack first, and Shattered second) it works out to $71.99 + $23.00, with $1.50 left as wallet credit for your next store purchase.
$95 total -- that stings quite a bit (even if it's better than $110). Oh well, I'd rather have these now (even paying an exorbitant price for it) then regret not having them later.

I see. I didn't remember that specific part about the metroid games. The last one I played was Metroid Fusion on a game boy micro (on a side note: best.true.portable.system.ever) a couple of years ago.

It is spiderman.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
You can translate the post into SteamGaffese if you replace Spiderman with anime porn games.
Then it makes sense.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
I think the thread showing all the data for the GOTY voting is going to have to take a bit of a different format this year over previous years, given the trend I'm seeing so far in the votes.
Last year our GOTY voting had 131 games represented by 184 people. This year, I've so far processed 35 votes and already have over 100 games being represented (not counting DLC and Early Access games, just general GOTY nominations).
In years past, we've listed out all of the results in the thread and made charts showing the percentage of votes etc. With potentially hundreds of games represented this year, this doesn't seem feasible. I'll probably just do the top 10 games, and top three selections from the DLC and EA categories, then link to a Google sheets spreadsheet with all of the relevant data for every game. Maybe list a "top 50" games, since that's typically been a popular talking point in the thread in the past.
I think this has more to do with Steam expanding as a platform than anything else. Obviously with a huge percentage of games available on Steam releasing last year, there is a much wider variety for people to choose from in their GOTY voting.
We should have some pretty interesting results I think, I'm looking forward to sharing them with you guys when the voting period ends.

Hey, like I said, if it was anything else I wouldn't care. Even if they're "not great" (although I seem to remember Shattered Dimensions being serviceable) I'd still like to have them. I actually haven't played the Amazing Spider-man games, so I'll finally be able to do that (for better or worse...).
With my pre-existing Humble Bundle credit and everything else it'll end up costing me around $80 -- which, to be clear, is terrible -- but I'd rather spend that now and guarantee having them in my collection, than end up in some kind of Blur/Wheelman regret-fueled hell later on.
More games represented can only be a good thing. Hopefully we can find a way to show off as many as possible without making the thread a total mess. Top 50 and then a spreadsheet link for the rest sounds like a good idea.
Without giving anything away is there any game out to a big lead? It doesn't look like there would be just glancing through those posted here in the thread.

Test your luck mate
Oh btw how do you guys have your categories set up? This is mine atm
Wow that's a lot of categories.
I have it ordered by the priority I have for my backlog:

I just found out there isn't any time tracking feature on Uplay. Sigh, why. Not a big deal breaker by any means, but, why?

There are a few games that are rising up, but so far nothing has exceeded 10 votes among almost 40 ballots tallied. Needless to say, I think we'll end up with our usual eclectic selection in the top 10 at the rate we're going.

I think it's a case of them having been in a few too many bundles. I don't think I've bought any Artifex Mundi game directly on steam yet I seem to have most their catalogue.

For those so desperate to know my wise GOTY choices:
GOTY:
(5 Points) - Stardew Valley
(4 Points) - The Witness
(3 Points) - Doom
(2 Points) - Stellaris
(1 Point) - Deus Ex Mankind Divided
DLC:
(3 Points) - Pillars of Eternity White March
(2 Points) - Sunless Sea Zubmariner
(1 Point) - Stellaris Leviathans
EA:
(3 Points) - Slime Rancher
(2 Points) - Factorio
(1 Point) - Rimworld
This is cool - if I had the patience to do this for 1220 titles in my library.
I refuse to do it at the moment because I feel like as soon as I finish, Valve will announce an improved client or update that lets you search by tag / reviews / dev / series / categorised already etc. So I'll wait for all eternity.

listen to the mad man
I voted the following:
1. Obduction,
2. Firewatch,
3. The Sea Will Claim Everything,
4. The Turing Test,
5. Haven Moon
Above and beyond the fact that I liked these games a lot and among 2016 games they were perhaps the best I played, I am really glad to be able to vote for 5 small, independent teams all of whom made interesting, tense, and engrossing games without the use of violence or booth babes.
My guess is that the overall vote is some sort of 1-2-3 combination of Dark Souls 3, Doom, and Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen. I would guess of my votes only Firewatch makes the top umpteen.

I loved it. Its exactly what I want from a sequel to these type of games and I think it was the right transition. The game basically picked up right where the previous left off. I hope the next game they go even bigger letting BUD explore an entire solar system or something. I hope Ubisoft made enough money on them to make an even larger game next time. The best thing about those games is that they are fun, peaceful and relaxing. I don't want them to go make it hard or anything like that.

Rime looks very interesting and considering we didn't see it for so long I'm not surprised isn't a PS4 exclusive anymore
Yep. Although my friends list is clearly not as cool, as it is seemingly just me and R3n4ud that live a full life
What a glorious day - I am blessed with the Steam Hardware survey for the first time in many years. A sure sign that this year is the best year!
Sadly I'm still waiting on a better price so can't really vote for it. Others will surely ....

Seems the Steam Survey is a little more up to date than I was expecting
where's the "yes but it doesn't fucking help because the useless bad signal thing pops up like every 10 seconds regardless fuck this shit"
Does your Wireless Extender Base float like indicated in that picture? No? Then you're doing it wrong, man.
I haven't had problems with it so I went with "Yes as shown", but I always wonder what the point of these surveys are beyond hardware since they don't seem to take the opportunity to ask such questions which I can't imagine them not having use for - yet Valve gonna Valve
