Can’t do much about winners in threads (these or other types). All I can say is everyone has the option to vote for something available in the poll.

But, the user base is the user base. Sure, we can spice things up, but the final outcome is part of the fun, and even if your (or my) personal choice doesn’t win, it’s still fun to learn about this stuff for many and listen to ideas/views about game visuals from many people on the site.

In my eyes, the ‘winner’ is secondary to all of that.

Yeah, that used to be part of the fun for me, the first two times, but now we're approaching the 4th, and well, it's gotten predictable and stale for me. I voted for all my fave games over the previous years and they didn't win, so that took the wind out of my sails, and it's likely to happen again. There's no fun for me to have if I can't get anything out of it, either via my fave game winning or a new result that isn't just Sony winning. I'd kill a thousand souls just to see a PC or even an Xbox game winning 1-2 years in a row, because to me, that is the spicing things up, not Japanese 1st part A or Japanese first party B taking the lead each time.

I honestly do not think there is much for me to learn from this, other than me being a part of an unpopular group, who's choice doesn't matter, who's game isn't "popular", whilst another group that cements itself chooses the same option over and over regardless of spices on the menu.

Like we learn new stuff about tech all the time though, that's never going to be the sole part of this thread, as it's going to be regarded as accessible, standard information, not something only say, 5 devs know about for 5 years until they reveal something, which by then would become standard knowledge. 

I'm sorry I don't see this the way you do, but I'm a practical man, who gets bored of results repeating themselves. I take no joy in wasting my time to have results repeat ad infinitum. I'm the type of guy who likes to see things getting really shaken up, to produce brand new, fresh and unique results, rather than 4 years worth of one company always getting the same spot over and over. 

Next year I'm going to want RE3 to be GOTY, but it won't, because numbers game. If there was quality I disliked about our species, it'd be the masses swaying votes in their own favour, based on a collective bias. 



Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see

So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"
