I'm willing to call it a wrap at this point. It's been far ahead in all the polls and, despite coming from a smaller series, has the ingredients to be considered a GameFAQs darling. The few people who vote without playing a single poll option will be swayed toward RE2 because it got such rave reviews (from media AND fans) upon release. IMO, its biggest detriment is the fact that it's already 12 months old - had it released three months ago, I think it'd be doing even better.

RE2 winning GOTY is something I never thought I'd see happen.

It's as glorious as I'd have hoped.

I am fairly confident Sekiro would have beaten KHIII. I suspect that game would have tanked relative to March and Sekiro looks like it might have beaten it even if it stayed the same.

I hope Outer Wilds bring in all these polls convinces some people to try it out. That game is incredible.

I don't think the opinion on KH3 has significantly changed since March. If anything it might be more positive since people seemed to like the stuff in the DLC trailer which addresses some of the issues people had with the game.

Oh wow DQ11 collapsed overnight and Sekiro surged into 3rd. That will give Three Houses as fair of a shot as it can get, so no excuses now.

fair shot for what? Being able to beat RE2 on a three way poll only to lose the 1v1? RE2 will end up number 1 regardless even if its LFFd.

Fair shot as in it won't get LFF'd by the third option like it would have with DQ11 or Link's Awakening

I'm not saying it'll win but it at least won't get held down

it was going to Win GOTY as soon as it beat Kh3 in the best games of year so far back in March. Kh3 was only going to get weaker by that point and with RE3 announcement RE2 stayed the same popularity.

no I think FE could even win that three way. But if that happens there will be a final GOTY poll with just RE2 and FE. So its kind of pointless.

57 new posts? Wow, it's almost like it's contest season already.

Anyway, PlayStation Latin America published their top 20 games of the decade, as decided by... its users, I think (I didn't know the process, honestly). Here's the list:

RE2's performance today isn't too far off from what FFXV did to Pokemon Sun/Moon in the 2016 GotY poll:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/6574-

RE2 currently has 58.47% on Fire Emblem, while FFXV got 57.21% on Pokemon Sun/Moon in the overall GotY poll. The games that could have LFFed Pokemon Sun/Moon back then were only sitting around 4% (Pokemon GO and TP HD), yet removing those allowed the result to flip in the 3-way poll.

Fire Emblem has to deal with the fact that the 2 games most likely responsible for the LFF (Dragon Quest and Link's Awakening) are both over 10%, so it could see more of an improvement than expected in the 1v1 poll.

KH3 would probably be fighting for 2nd in this poll thanks to LFF, so I'm glad its staying away!

With that said...

I don't think this is true. The public perception of KH3 has been on a downward trend since it released and I doubt DLC released many months after the fact is going to make up for that.

Nah, there's definitely a lot of anticipation for the Remind DLC. I don't know that it would matter here, but it's still bad form for Allen to omit it entirely from GOTY.

I noticed both RE2 and Link's Awakening show up on the suggestion list on the nomination form, so I assume they're both eligible.

I already tossed in a nomination for KH3, because it's a crime that it missed out on the GotY polls, so GotD is the only way to see its strength in any kind of poll.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds is another game worth nominating, only because it never got into BGE 2015 to validate its strength from the 2013 GotY polls where it won GotY.

Actually, it does look like some things have been filtered out. OoT and MM 3DS are both absent from the database.

So maybe as long as they're in the database, they're eligible...?

If that's the case, Ace Attorney Trilogy, baby!

Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster is on the drop-down list and that's almost certainly not eligible, as that is pretty much a plain remaster. Numerous other remasters are also on the drop-down list besides that one.

That doesn't mean it's eligible, that only means it's in the nomination database. Allen has been evasive with these things before, most notably with Sonic 3 & Knuckles in 2015 (though that was a slightly different situation) and Spider-Man in 2018. Admittedly, I'm inclined to think it's actually eligible, but the only way to know for sure is direct confirmation from Allen.
