Big Brother. Obviously.

I don't think it was released this year though.

I don't have time to play games. And when there is a game that makes me want to make time for it, it's a buggy mess or is unplayable on my outdated computer.

So yeah. Big Brother it is.

If most time played meant anything at all Solitaire would have been my GOTY 1998-2006...

People can spend tons of time with trash games. Some quality games can be completed in a day. I am surprised that 2018 is about to end and people still measure game quality by hours played. It is not the 80s anymore people.

Well said.

Believe me I'd much sooner get sucked off by Emilia Clark for 15min and spunk all over her pretty face, than spend a lifetime married to Melissa McCarthy

But he said people can spend tons of time with trash games. So Melissa would be sucking you off for 4 hours.

What is this? IGN? The year is not over yet.
This so much. Making a GOTY poll before the year has ended is something a modern "game journalist" would do. Perhaps OP should reconsider his life choices.
:decline:
There really aren't that many RPGs left on the horizon though. December is probably going to be a fairly dead month besides Mutant Year Zero, Edge of Eternity, Jagged Alliance RAGE! and possibly ATOM RPG if it actually releases. I personally don't really have my hopes up for EoE or Jagged Alliance.

What a valid and interesting point you have there. :retarded:

Also, I joined on Nov 26. It says it right there. It's not hard.

It says "Nov 27" for me as well. I think different time zones are taken into account. It's not hard.

Regardless, lording "old guy" status over people isn't really a valid argument.

I haven't played a single game on this list except for Kingmaker, which I played for like 2 hours total so that doesn't count.

I voted for Fallout 76, because even without playing it, all the drama surrounding it gave me some entertainment.

If a large percentage of the votes headed towards F76 are like yours, then I accept and respect the position.

I felt the same way after the Diablo Immortal "announcement", where after the whole auditorium booed Activision-Blizzard off ("Do you guys not have phones?"), they actually handed out mementos and keepsakes to all attendees. --- That was entertainment in its purest form. :)

Grab the Codex by the pussy Codex USB, 2014 Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
Interesting to see Pathfinder leading by so much, I take it all the bugs have been ironed out? I am holding off on the purchase until it is in a finished state.

Of the games on the list, I went for PoE2. Would have been Kingdom Come, but first person perspective just makes me dizzy these days.

It still has bugs, but it's just a really good game despite them.

Pathfinder, because it is a decent game with a decent story and the devs actually seem to give a fuck about their product. Is it the bestest shit ever? No but it is the best RPG we are gonna get any time soon.

The vast majority of people who voted Kingmaker haven't even touched it yet...

They give so many fucks about their product that they released a pre-Alpha version and every patchlog is longer than a wikipedia entry...
