The results can still be inaccurate. For example, maybe there are more November releases than what's on the poll. And one of the ones on the poll is not the one you're looking most forward to. Then they get inaccurate results. Technically, it should be written as which of these November releases are you most looking forward to. Then choose. If it's none, then don't vote. I don't think anyone actually cares about the result numbers, It's just a fun little poll. And it's not like the none of the above option fixes all. It just gives one less place for a game.

true. But 'not voting' votes aren't counted. So you aren't getting a clear answer as to how many people aren't excited for any of these games. By simply adding a 'none of the above' option we get more accurate results in a fun little poll.

It's something I am honestly curious about as I am curious how many people genuinely are not interesting any of these titles.

Probably a lot. I feel it would be less fun because there are a bunch of people who don't play games on this site. And a bunch of people would pick none of the above for many reason. It's better to see which game people are more excited about rather than find out like 75% picked none of the above. It's better to see which games of the ones chosen do people want more. I could see how you would think it's better though since you don't want to choose a game. But I feel the none of above option would only be ok in some polls. And that's just when they literally have nothing else to put up there... If they wanted more accurate results, they would also have to put other. And putting both other and none of the above would mean they have to take away two choices... But that's just how I feel about it. When it ask questions like this, I read it as, out of the choices available. So, just read it like that. If you still don't have a choice, I would just not vote and move on...

The poll isn't for people who aren't excited for any of those games. It wants to find out which of those particular games is more anticipated by the people visiting g this site. You not being excited for any of them isn't the info that poll is trying to gather.

the poll isn't even asking if you are excited for any november games. it's asking which you are most excited for out of the list.

none of the above does not apply when they are asking for most excited.

That's all right. It's a pretty strong sign of the sad state of the industry, anyway, that the two top voted games are remakes rather than original entries. I know GFAQS doesn't represent a large majority of the gaming population by any means, but it's a large enough focus group to get an idea of what's popular within the bigger picture still.

The sad thing is I'm one of those voters. Spyro is not only the best thing coming out in November, it's one of the very few release in 2018 that I'm interested in and will be the first game since Sea of Thieves that I actually pickup on launch day rather than waiting for price drops.

usually I feel the same, but still, there must be one that you're slightly more excited for than the others (or at least slightly more not-excited)
