Blah, Dark Souls. Now I can no longer approve of the top 3, thanks

 

[SykoTech]

LBP2, Sonic, and Ultimate Marvel 3 (barely) are all in the Top 50.

I'm good.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Blah, Dark Souls. Now I can no longer approve of the top 3, thanks

 

[Cheesemeister]

Cheesemeister:

107. [PSP] Persona 2: Innocent Sin (Atlus, RPG) = 15 points, 1 honorable mention

and

196. [PSP] Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 2: Innocent Sin (Atlus, RPG) = 4 points

are the same games

Thanks, fixed.

 

[Derrick01]

lol, oh well. At least Skyrim is still far ahead, and that's the one I know eats at them

 

[Dark Schala]

The full statistics are up! See post 4.

I am pleased with this. Tactics Ogre, Sonic Generations, Yakuza 4, and Trails getting well-deserved recognition.

Tactics Ogre should also be #1 Best Remake (besting Ocarina!)

Yep.

Speaking of which, I guess that'd rank it at #5 between Pokemon Black/White and Ocarina of Time 3D in the handheld awards category.

Edit: checking the stats file -- nice to see Corpse Party at #4 in the Horror category with 22 points.

 

[Dabanton]

23. [360][PS3][PC] Bulletstorm (EA, FPS) = 219 points, 16 honorable mentions

Nice. Hopefully just like vanquish when next year rolls around this will be top 3 in the LTTP Award.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Bubububu Dark Souls has plenty of praise, Deus Ex deserves attention

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Deus Ex robbed.

Also Rez, I was going to do the civil war quest in Skyrim. What are your thoughts on it? Wanna know if I should bother.

 

[Pie and Beans]

Yesssssssssssssssssssssss. Will the OP be edited now the delicious truth has been unleashed?

 

[Cheesemeister]

As soon as timetokill gets a chance, yes.

 

[Augemitbutter]

there is a god after all.

 

[jj984jj]

So what happened to Tactics Ogre before? From the looks of the handheld list, the game just wasn't included.

 

[sixteen-bit]

BOOM. Top 3 for Dark Souls.

NeoGAF just got a little bit better.

So good.

 

[The Librarian]

Why are Cheesemeister's results different from Timetokill's?

 

[Des0lar]

NO. DEUS EX NOOOO

 

[WrenchNinja]

I never asked for this.

 

[Cheesemeister]

Why are Cheesemeister's results different from Timetokill's?

Because I've had more time to go over the data. It takes time to gather data for lots of games that get only 1 vote each. I also verified odd ballots to see if they were following the rules. A bunch of ballots once shown as having gaps, disqualifying the remaining portions, were resolved.

Ah.

Looks like I need to try Dark Souls.

 

[Struct09]

Other changes:

Xenoblade got bumped above Saints Row, and Bastion got bumped above Gears 3

 

[John Harker]

Dark Souls Top 3 - Vindicated!

 

[JaseC]

Sad to see Serious Sam 3 so low. I don't think I edited that in on time but I was going to add it to my top 10.

I would have voted for it, but I don't vote for games I haven't completed (and that is entirely my mate's fault as he hasn't yet bought the game). I'm afraid that Serious Sam 3, despite being the second-best FPS this generation, will have to settle for a LTTP vote during GAF GoTY 2012.

 

[mxgt]

Dark Souls top 3!

Victory!

 

[ultron87]

Other changes:

Xenoblade got bumped above Saints Row, and Bastion got bumped above Gears 3

I don't like this recount anymore.

(I haven't actually played Xenoblade yet, but I really want to.)

 

[EmCeeGramr]

What a shame.

 

[Durante]

Corpse Party, Atelier Totori and Jamestown (3 of my 4 most "out there" picks) are in the top 100. I'm content. Though Sanctum only got 3 points

I should have the user affinity table up in an hour or so.

Hey, PC exclusives got more points in total than 360 exclusives.

 

[duckroll]

I see great justice being delivered here.

 

[Hawkian]

Tough call, they're SO hard to compare. Actually, I agree with the #1, #2, and am happy with either game at either #3 and #4. Well done indeed, GAF.

edit: For the record I personally enjoyed Dark Souls more as the sense of community in that game is goddamn unparalleled. Dat OT... and dat OT2

On the other hand Deus Ex's setting, atmosphere, plot and voice acting really clicked for me.

Don't lynch me, but I'd love a game with a hardcore sci-fi atmosphere and aesthetic but with the From Software gameplay design and online community ethos.

 

[Rumble19]

Praise the sun!

 

[Stumpokapow]

Dark Souls is the Rick Santorum of GAF's Iowa.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

"Dark Souls is... santorum[.]"
gaf mods 2012

 

[Wallach]

Dark Souls is the Rick Santorum of GAF's Iowa.

lmao, best first post to read in the morning.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Dark Souls is the Rick Santorum of GAF's Iowa.

Pretty sure this was a Sufjan Stevens song title

 

[Dresden]

Do another recount, it's bound to go up to #2.

 

[rollingstart]

We can settle this peacefully. Swap Skyrim and Deux Ex. Everyone is happy!

 

[timetokill]

Fantastic work, Cheesemeister.

I'll be updating the results through the course of the day. Thanks for your patience, everyone!

 

[Durante]

Here's the user affinity list.
Like last year, find your entry by searching for "$$[yourUserName]" (without the []).

This one uses the exact same algorithm as last year. I'm not that happy with the results for me personally, so I'll try to implement another one that weighs games that are rarely mentioned higher. (The idea is that popular games are likely to appear on lots of lists anyway, so the less popular ones are more significant in determining user affinity. Sounds flimsy but it's just for fun)

While I adjusted the script I noticed that for these users: RurouniZel, LuchaShaq, GABDEG, b.mak
the 2010 vote wasn't picked up correctly (formatting issues).

 

[TheFightingFish]

[PC] Streets of Rage Remake (Bombergames, Action) = 6 points
2. (3 points * 1 user) Sixfortyfive
4. (2 points * 1 user) _dementia
8. (1 point * 1 user) TheFightingFish

Sixfortyfive, _dementia and myself holding it down as gamers of truly classy taste.

 

[Lionheart1337]

Somebody please round up the two people who voted for Idolmaster to be drawn and quartered.

Also, congratulations to windfish for having great taste.

[ShironRedshift]

Looking over the full results, it seems that Sequence should be the #4 Rhythm Game:

Rhythm Game of the Year: Child of Eden (Ubisoft) = 99 points, 9 honorable mentions

2. Dance Central 2 (Harmonix) = 17 points
3. Rocksmith (Ubisoft Montreal) = 14 points, 1 honorable mention
4. Groove Coaster (Taito) = 7 points, 1 honorable mention
5. Rhythm Heaven Wii (Nintendo) = 4 points

138. [360][PC] Sequence (Iridium, Rhythm) = 9 points, 4 honorable mentions

Anyway, thanks for all the great work, timetokill and Cheesemeister. Now, it's time to see what else I can find hidden in there~

 

[HamPster PamPster]

I nominate Dungeon Defenders at 107th place as neogaf's snub of the year. Deserved way higher!

 

[Durante]

hmm

Something looks broken there. I'll look into it.

Edit: actually, no it's fine. You only voted for Dark Souls, and all those other people also had it in first place. Your fault for not providing more data

Well..

The winner of the "most attuned poster of 2011" award is Refreshment.01 with a similarity score of 75529.

The winner of the "most eclectic taste of 2011" award is GhaleonQ with a total similarity score of 1018.

So I guess your adjustment to the hivemind is above average. Whether that's good or not is for you to decide
