The PC Port of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel is pretty good, too.
I don't understand the people who whine about clunkiness. It's like all the PB games. Your swings have to be timed properly.
Open the article and on the right hand side you find links to all previous GOTYs.Is there an archive of past winners somewhere?
As was mentioned earlier, 4 points go to your 1st place vote, 2 points to 2nd place, 1 point to 3rd place; and the % in the list is the % of points, not votes. So, if you voted D:OS2 for 1st place, it got 50% in terms of your personal points. Getting 38% in such a system actually seems fairly remarkable, it means this wasn't even a contest really. If every single user on the site had voted D:OS2 for first place, it would have had 50%.I am surprised DOS2 only got 38% of the votes. I played through that game three times; first with 3 origin characters. The writing for them was so good I immediately started a new game so I could pick the other three. Then did a lone wolf run. I have never played through a game three times before. More often than not, I don’t finish them at all, though I’m trying to do better about that this year.
Some people don't have the patience to try and fail a few times it seems. Which is a shame for them because they are missing out.
Reminder that 2017 was a pretty good year . Loved D:OS2, Elex, Prey, Torment, and many more.

Actually it lists all RPGWatch articles, but as there aren't any besides GOTYs, it results in the same.
Admittedly I do miss good games on occasion, based on initial impressions prior to purchase. However it's not about 'trying and failing', it's about time. I have a list of games I've been meaning to play, primarily based on word of mouth at this site-- which I trust when it's not BioWare-related. But when a game like Divinity OS2 takes me 200 hours (not at all complaining, it was awesome), the 'must play' list piles up. This list became unattainable sometime around 2010 and it's only getting worse.
I have no choice but to be more selective. As a result, games like ELEX will often fall down my list into oblivion. But this award makes me bump it up, so I will probably get around to it within a year or two. Or until I see another squirrel.
