Sign-Ups are still open! | The Official Thread | The Discussion Thread
ONLY POST ONCE IN THIS THREAD. Your ONE post should be edited with additional games as the event progresses. If you're interested in joining, please go to the Sign-Up Thread before posting here. If you break the rules intentionally and post multiple times here, you can and will be moderated... I hope. I mean, I'm not a mod, but I'll talk to one! So please read the rules, and also follow them.
Welcome to the 15th Annual Greatest Games Event! On November 12th, there will be 50 days before the end of the year. To celebrate, we will be posting our 50 favorite games of all time, one game each day all the way until December 31st, when we'll each be posting our #1 favorite game ever!
This thread is for those of you who signed up and have created a list of 50 games to post. If you haven't already signed up, well, you can just post here directly and it's okay, but I'd rather have everyone doing it over at the Sign-Up Thread. Every list should be posted here in this thread, so, make your one post and let's have some fun.
If you haven't read the rules yet, please do! (I'll keep them in a spoiler tag so this OP doesn't get too excessive)
Basic rules:
• The Official thread and the Discussion thread will be posted on November 10th.
• In the Official thread, you will ONLY POST ONCE. All other posts should be in the Discussion thread, and your ONE post in the Official thread shall be edited to update your list accordingly.
• Starting on November 12th, you will begin to post your top 50 ever games, one each day:
• On November 12th, you will post your 50th favorite game.
• On November 13th, you will post your 49th favorite game.
• This will continue until December 31st, when you will post your #1 game of all time.
• If this sounds a bit too daunting, you don't need to come here every day, of course! It's totally fine if you have to miss out on a few days. If that happens, just do some catching up and update your list up to the point everyone else's gotten to.
• If you just want to post your top 50 straight away without taking part in the daily interactions, that's okay too, but only if you post the list on the Official thread or message it to me directly. If you post it anywhere else, it won't be accepted.
What games can you pick?
• You can pick any game for any system. It doesn't matter if it's a mobile game, single-player or multiplayer, free-to-play, everything is allowed! ...With a few exceptions, as listed below:
• Games that release after October 31st, 2024 will not be allowed.
• This means no Mario & Luigi: Brothership, Assassin's Creed Shadows, Marvel Rivals, and so on.
• Dragon Age: The Veilguard barely scraped by with the cheeky October 31st release date, so that's eligible.
• Game collections are also not allowed.
• This means you can't list something like Mass Effect Legendary Edition, and instead should list each of the games in it separately.
• Fanmade games are allowed, but mods aren't.
• Expansions, DLCs, or anything of the sort will be included with their base game, so you can't list those separately.
• Remakes, remasters, definitive editions, or anything of the sort should also not be listed separately from their original release.
• However, certain remakes that differ from the original significantly are allowed. This includes, for example, the Resident Evil remakes and the Metroid remakes. This works on a game-by-game basis - if you're unsure about a specific title, ask me!
Things you should do:
• Please include the platforms you've played each game on (and only those you've played on!). Even if it is an exclusive, still list the platform, it helps me out a lot!
• Reboots often have the same names as their originals. If you have one such game on your list, please specify whether it is the reboot or the original, or add information on the release year.
• For example, if your list has the Doom reboot, list it as "Doom (2016)".
• For your ONE POST in the Official thread, please don't include images or descriptions. Keep your list clean and to the point - if you want to show images or talk about your favorite games at length, the Discussion thread is the place for that.
• Whenever you finish your list, please send it to me via PM as soon as possible! The earlier I have it, the earlier I can start working on the results thread.
• If you change your mind halfway through, it's okay to make alterations to your list, as long as you make them BEFORE December 31st.
• However, if you sent me your list via PM, please message me again with the new alterations, otherwise I'll be using the outdated list.
If you have any additional questions, send me a message, post on my wall, or mention me in a post. I'll try to get back to you ASAP.
