Re: Voting for best RPGs of 2015
The end of the year is approaching and soon we'll know the names of all the titles released this year and be able to perform our annual top three poll from a huge list of potentials.
However…
This year has been quite a big year for RPGs and there's already two that are shoe-ins for the no.1 and no.2 spot. I don't think we even need to poll for these two other than to find out which one takes 1 and which one takes 2 - those being Witcher 3 and Fallout 4 (as if you even needed to be told their names).
Then when you consider Pillars of Eternity was also released this year, that game is likely to be the standard neutral's vote for 2nd or 3rd and will sweep 3rd place quite easily.
So shall we actually bother with a full poll this year? Shall we just have a vote for no.1 versus no.2 and assume PoE for no.3? It would save a lot of pointless arguments and unnecessary dragging up of really, really over-worn topics.
Or can you honestly think of another game which will legitimately challenge this obvious result that goes beyond your own personal opinion?
Now that we're flooded with RPGs again perhaps it's time to again separate the poll into two categories, one being well known publishing houses and one being independent productions (the separation criteria decided by some form of generally accepted logic) (if we actually want some excitement from the process)?
