Also the history of remakes not doing so well in GOTY polls,

The NJ numbers for Zelda are much lower now. It's still disproportionately high (38%), but it might have just been a flukey early vote. California's Astro Bot numbers for example are also lopsided, but in the other direction.
Those numbers don't sound so lopsided to me.

You know I just remembered about the map

kinda funny seeing 100% countries and what games they picked (Tunisia had Star Wars Outlaws, Macedonia has Trials of Mana, Uzbekistan has ZZZ)
I live on, THROUGH THIS SEASHELL!

I'll be surprised if it holds out. The Nintendo worship in America will probably see Zelda over the line.

AB is going to win today’s poll. We will see how it does against Final Fantasy.

WOW. I see what I did wrong. I accidentally confused EoW with Tears. Okay, this makes much more sense now. Still pretty crazy though.
snake_5036 1/3/2025 5:22:53 PM#262
Zelda losing isn't that crazy. Minish Cap and Skyward Sword got obliterated in their GotY polls. Echoes is at least keeping it close!
You felt your sins weighing on your neck.

I want Astro Bot to win, but I haven't actually played anything on this poll so I'm abstaining.

That said, Astro's Playroom was f***ing awesome and I wanna play Astro Bot eventually.

I voted for Zelda because I played it. But I'm almost certain I'd like Astro Bot more.

Hey, they learned from their mistakes.

Also this poll is so much weaker than the last two.
It's Reyn Time.
MacArrowny 1/3/2025 9:42:19 PM#268
Haha yeah it's sad that Fall's the one that gets two polls this time. #2 in each of the past three would crush Dragon Quest 3 Remake I think.

Also I guess people didn't care for Brothership huh

Indy came close, but not close enough.

Do we have any data at all on how strong Dragon Quest III is?

There's probably at least a series poll out there I guess

A good showing from Indy for a fame that released in December, though I would like it to be winning. That game is fantastic.
I just decided to change this sig.

Infinity Nikki is a gacha game which puts it in the "bad" category by default.

Yeah yeah, I know it's probably fun and all, but still, gacha games are kinda cancer. And I say this as someone who beat Chapter 2 of Genshin Impact.

Or it's the return of the New Jersey vote stuffer again (after not stuffing yesterday's poll).

We'll have to wait for the poll to reach 500 votes so we can check the Geolocation results for signs of vote stuffing.

Astro Bot vs 4 remakes. If only SMRPG came out 2 months later.
My bracket looked like random picks compared to his.
Congrats to azuarc for winning the GotD 2020 Guru Contest!

Metaphor: ReFantazio suddenly jumps up 4% on that update. Now that looks like a possible stuffed update.

The bomb is Path of Exile 2. With how the internet speaks of that game you’d think it was the second coming of Christ himself.

Or at least, the second coming of Diablo 2. It’s good, but it isn’t THAT good.

It seems Denmark registers 13-14 votes a day. Wonder who the others are lol.
