Welcome to Game of the Decade of the Year! Here we will throw 200 games into a voting blender to see which one can come out unscathed and be considered Board 8's Game of the Decade of the Year. This contest follows a similar format of User of the Year, a contest etched in the lore of this board, with slight modifactions to some of the round formats. If you want to read more about it, I direct you to the wiki page: https://board8.fandom.com/wiki/User_of_the_Year

In short, there will be eight rounds, each with different matchup and voting rules. Each round will eliminate a chunk of the games from the contest before the remaining games are grouped up for the next round.

This topic will serve as the unveiling of matchups for each round as well as a record of the results of said matchups. Voting will take place in dedicated voting topics. This topic can also be used to discuss the results or anything loosely related to the contest.

Here is the format for each round. I will explain them more in-depth when the groups are announced and in the voting topics themselves.

ROUND 1 (200 games remaining)
--Twenty groups of 10 games
--Voting format is +3, +2, +1, -1, -2, -3
--Bottom three in each group is eliminated
--The winner of each division gets a bye in round 2

ROUND 2 (140 games remaining, 120 competing)
--Groups from Round 1 are paired up and the games within them face off based on Round 1 results
--2nd vs 7th, 3rd vs 6th, 4th vs 5th
--Voting is split 5-0, 4-1, or 3-2 between the two games
--Winners of each individual matchup advance

ROUND 3 (80 remaining)
--Eight groups of 10 games
--Ranked voiting +10 through +1
--Top five in each division advance

ROUND 4 (40 remaining) (aka World Cup round)
-Ten groups of 4 featuring round robin matchups
--Voting format of 5-0, 4-1, or 3-2
--Scores from matches are aggregate with winning a matchup netting +10 additional points
--Top 2 from each division advances

ROUND 5 (20 remaining) (aka Boot and Immune round)
--Two groups of 10
--Voting over five days. Each day users vote to boot one game and immune another
--Game with most boots on a given day is eliminated immediately. Game with most immunes advances immediately

ROUND 6 (10 remaining ) (aka Golden Parcel round)
--Five 1v1 matchups
--Voters rank all remaining games +10 through +1 one time
--Once a day, voters can hand out a golden parcel worth +5 to one game
--Loser of each 1v1 matchup is eliminated

ROUND 7 (5 remaining)
--One group of 5
--Voters can choose to distribute 10 points among the five games -OR- subtract 5 from one game
--Voting last three days. Voters get one vote per day.
--Bottom two eliminated

ROUND 8 (3 remaining)
--One group of 3
--Voting format is +1, -1
--Winner is champion

I will begin drawing the divisions for Round 1 tonight. The top two seeds + the four best performing three seeds (RE2, Xenoblade, Portal 2, Pokemon HG/SS) in the GotD bracket will get separated into their own divisions. Everything else is randomly drawn in. The games in the contest will be posted in alphabetical order following this post.

The 72 games that aren't in the GotD bracket were determined over a two week nomination period. There were 30 games that tied with three nominations that were fighting to make the above field. Four needed to be cut to get us to 200. In lieu of a boring round of tiebreaking involving games that are, let's face it, not in good position to go far in the contest, I decided to eliminate the four games with the lowest Metacritic rating. It's simple and not emblematic of what Board 8 thinks, but it's the most efficient way to trim the field to get us into the contest proper. In the interest of full disclosure, the four games that got cut by this method were Deadly Premonition, Resident Evil Revelations 2, Spec Ops: The Line, and The Wonderful 101. I apologize if a game you really wanted to see in the contest was one of these games.

I also reserve the ability to do two voting topics at the same time if my schedule calls for it, but we'll start out at one division per day.

I decided to rank the groups twice, once based on my personal opinions about the games within them, and again based on my opinions about their strength:

Personal Preferences: 9 > 1 > 3 > 8 > 10 > 20 > 19 > 11 > 12 > 16 > 13 > 14 > 7 > 2 > 18 > 4 > 15 > 5 > 17 > 6

Group 9 has both my second and third favorite games of the decade, plus a game I've had my eye on for quite a while. Group 1 has my favorite game ever, but its depth is weak with only one other game I care about; 3 is close behind with its strong depth. I've played too few games to consider it worthwhile to vote in any group below 11, and in fact, I haven't played any of the games in Group 6 or 17 at all.

GotDotY Strength: 16 > 6 > 20 > 12 > 2 > 19 > 18 > 8 > rest > 5 > 9 > 17 > 15

The juxtaposition of Groups 15 and 16 is pretty funny. There's seriously nothing in 15 other than The Last of Us, which even then might very well be the weakest of the group toppers. On the other hand, 16 looks like the division of death, with a whole handful of legitimate B8 favorites, and I'd probably favor even its weakest games over anything in 15 below the top. Group 9's not much better than 15 - somehow we have a group where two of F/GO, Fortnite, Heavy Rain, MK11, and Thumper will advance a round - but at least there's two third-round shoo-ins in Celeste and Dragon Quest XI. Likewise for Group 17, only its top two aren't as impressive as Group 9's frontrunners, in turn for its fodder being a bit better. Group 5 depends heavily on a middling selection of indies.

Groups 6, 12, and 20 comprise the next tier below 16 for me; all of them look strong, though 12 is a bit worse due to all that JRPG LFF. Then comes Group 2, which is deceptively weak for being the only group with exclusively GotD games; ME2 is the only actual B8 favorite in it, though the rest of these games all at least seem to have decent fanbases here. Group 19 has a little bit of everything, with lots of feasible-looking result permutations besides a pretty set bottom two. Group 18 has quite the gulf between the haves and the have-nots; on balance, I think it's a bit above midpack. It's admittedly late and I don't feel like sorting through the rest now, but I will say that Group 4 is very even-looking because it might as well not have a group topper.

I'm hoping to see some discussion of the above ITT, and I'm certainly looking forward to GotDotY as a whole, even though I won't be voting that often myself.

Without going through and examining them all, I can say my favorite groups are 16 > 8 > 3 > 12. Anymore after that and I have to choose between a lot of groups with a lot of games I've never played and know little about. I had a little trouble voting in Group 1. I can't imagine how hard Group 16 is going to be. I'm also curious to see how votals look once the GotD bracket is completed.

I'm also interested in seeing which group toppers don't end up winning their division. I think 4 has the best chance, but 12 might have a shot at seeing the topper fall as well depending on how well Three Houses has aged here.

Round 1 tiebreaker criteria is as follows:

I didn't expect anything to beat GTA V in that division because Dota was an obvious magnet for negative votes while there was enough variety to shake up the positives that nothing would stand out. That's 2 division leaders that have fallen so far.

GTAV is not exactly the most beloved game here. I'm personally more surprised that New Leaf barely staved off elimination; if I had to bet on one game to win that group pre-contest, I would have picked New Leaf.

Also, three division leaders have already fallen, just barely in all three cases.

Legitimately surprised at the three games that got eliminated, but looking at the results I don't know what games I expected to be eliminated. RE7, Splatoon, and Dark Souls maybe?

From a personal interest perspective I wish I hadn't because it eliminated Dead Cells, but I figured I was in a good position to allow it since I didn't know where things stood and thus couldn't be swayed and it was barely ten minutes after the 24 hour mark. Since the topics aren't being posted at a consistent set time, I didn't want to be too nitpicky in the face of more votes.

I can take a harder stance on this if that's what people want to see.

The fact VLR is out while 999 moves on is the real tragedy. (999 is good to and I gave it a point but I thought VLR was so much better).

Also division 7 was so much better than 8 for me. I didn't know what to give the -1 to in division 7 because I liked all of those games, while at the same time I didn't know what to give the +2 to in division 8 because I had either not played or disliked everything other than Undertale. I didn't even like Undertale that much but it wound up with the +3.

My best guess is just lack of familiarity, making them very easy to throw negative points at.

Yeah this, also it's just a niche genre so a lot of people are going to automatically gravitate to giving those negative votes because it's not their type of game, whereas I don't think there's any other genre of game prevalent in this contest that's like that.
