Popular Post Dreggit Posted February 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 11, 2021 (edited) Good evening one and all, to the long-awaited final selection of guides for GOTY2020. While I sincerely apologize for the gross delay, unfortunately, several events occurred outside of our control. It was appropriate to wait for all members to be present for the decisions to be finalized. Unlike previous years in which the community nominated guides, the staff has chosen the guides this year. In this way, we have tried to spotlight as many authors as possible to give a varied selection for you to choose from. In addition to this, all nominees will be receiving a badge of excellence from the team. This 2020 qualifying year was a very busy one, in fact, it was the busiest year we ever had on PSNP in terms of guide submissions. When the rules of the event changed, the task at hand to re-review all of the guides was a massive undertaking and to narrow it down was exceedingly difficult for the team. To put it into perspective, in the 2020 qualifying year we saw: 475 guides 249 unique authors Over 20 million unique guide views Nominated 58 unique guides Nominated 52 unique authors Needless to say, this is absolutely incredible and goes to show just how large our author community really is. I would like everyone to give all of those published authors a round of applause and to those published authors to give themselves a great, massive, pat on the back. It is not always easy to get your guide published on PSNP and takes a lot of time and effort for both the writers and the staff. With the sheer number guides under review, and many of them qualifying, we could not put every single guide that we wanted into this list. So in consideration to that fact, even if you do not see your guide here, or a guide that you think should have been here, please do not take it as a personal insult and that we sincerely appreciate all that the guide community brings to PSNP. Without our authors, PSNP would not be anywhere as good as it is today. Now, without further ado, let us get to the nominees for this year. The Nominees Gameplay Amnesia: Rebirth - Collectible Guide Coffee Talk - Drinks Guide and Recipes Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time - Full Collectibles Guide Dead Rising 4 - Trials Guide Dreams - Prize Bubble Guide Front Mission Evolved - Multiplayer Guide Grand Theft Auto III - 100% / Is That all You've Got?

Only guides published between December 2nd, 2019 and December 31st, 2020 were handpicked and selected by staff in the chosen list. Only guides in the nominations of this thread qualify. Please do not vote for anything not in the nominees list. The voting thread will be closed after two weeks. The top three guides of each category, and the top three guides overall, will determine the winners of each of the categories and the overall GOTY winner. Staff member guides are not eligible to win the GOTY. However, Co-op guides with staff members will be eligible. In case a co-op guide ends up in the top 3, the non-staff writer will get the whole prize. In case a guide has more than 1 writer, the prize will be split between all guide contributors, so long as they contributed a meaningful amount to the guide. We track all edits, so this will be checked. All participants must give at least 1 GOTY recommendation and 2 selections for every category above. If you do not at least cover these two requirements, your votes will not be counted. Edited January 25, 2022 by Dreggit 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Frosty Posted February 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 11, 2021 I'll start off strong with my GOTY... I believe the Persona 4 Golden guide should win this year, in fact, I think it's probably one of the top 5 guides on the site. It does such a great job explaining what you need to do each day, making it compact, and (for the most part) easy to read, really made my replay of P4G (on PC haha) a breeze, the only thing I'd say is a bit off is that it mixes the unimportant quests with the mandatory quests, and I just wish those were separated from the guide in some way, otherwise, this is a great guide! Onto gameplay, my two picks would have to be the Crash 4 Collectible Guide and the Persona 5 Confidant Guide, with Crash 4 taking a slight edge. We all know how hard Crash 4 is, so seeing these two make the effort to compile everything from each level and give detailed notes, and videos made on their own, with timestamps and everything, that is such a commendable feat, further note, Tropy replied fairly quickly to my responses in the comments of his videos. Leaving the Persona 5 Confidant Guide, while it's not entirely important for this guide to exist, I'm glad it does, and I wish I had it before I started my playthrough, saving me some mindless google searches and some not so certain dates for when certain confidants appear, which could make or break a playthrough if you mess up. Walkthrough: This goes to Demon Souls and Persona 4 Golden, for Persona I already stated above, while I'm not a huge Demon Souls person, I can definitely tell how much work, effort, and overall knowledge of the game was is there, while I can't attest if it's truly one to one with the game since I haven't played it, the guide surely looks the part, and not just on a surface level. Niche: I'm giving this to I Am Bread and Subnautica, these games both have this mysterious air around them, in Subnautica's case, it's relatively hard to get started, even harder to keep going after that, but this guide is the perfect resource for people starting this game out. And the I Am Bread guide breaks everything down so well that it makes me feel like playing it, and makes me feel like I could potentially take it on (or not haha)... DLC: While I'm not very knowledgeable in either of these (any more that is) I give my votes to Minecraft and Kingdom Heart 3. I voted for the Minecraft guide as it is really in-depth with its explanation of items, and how to get things, stuff like that, Minecraft becomes a much much harder game once you put it down for a while, so many new changes, but it's up to the guide writers to break it all down, which this guide does greatly in my opinion. While I know even less about Kingdom Hearts, I can safely say, this guide seeps with so much information, there's only so many ways I could say "This guide has a lot of stuff", but in this guide's case, it breaks down every single possible aspect, whether someone would actually have problems taking on the challenge or not, which I think people should take notes on, even myself, you never know what people will struggle on... Formatting: This goes to Doom Eternal and Trails of Cold Steel 4. I liked the Doom Eternal guide because it feels like the writer has some personality, while also being able to explain everything well. For the Trails of Cold Steel guide, I was enamored by the sheer greatness of it all, it has a great look, extraordinary detail on every little thing, yet I still know nothing about this series, it looks nice, and I can't truly attest for the actual quality of the info, but it does seem like a game a walkthrough like this would be much harder to make compared to something like Persona... Imported: My vote goes to Nocturne and the BlazBlue: Chronophantasma - 追加トロフィーグループ「ココノエ」, at this point, I will be repeating my words a lot, saying these all have a lot of info Original: This pick will go to the Persona 5 Royal and Trails of Cold Steel IV guides, a lot of the reason why I picked Persona 5 is that it fits so much of the new stuff into an easy to sift through and easy to read guide, and for trails, it just has a lot, there's no way someone would be dissatisfied reading through it 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuber6969 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 (edited) Walkthrough - Persona 4 Golden ^ I really wish there were more JRPG walkthroughs like this. I was able to fully enjoy the story and gameplay without having to click all over the place to make sure I got everything. DLC - Persona 4 Arena Ultimax ^ Really made that combo challenge trophy (comparatively) less of a headache. I didn't use any of the guides in the other categories, so I can't vote for them.

Definitely, what’s the point of giving “visibility” when people are going to vote on their favourites or the ones they used, not like they are going to glanze at all those guides (not blaming here). And even then, some guides were lost there. So much effort wasted by the Staff in my opinion (well except for the fact that the nominees get a quality badge, that’s good) Not to mention the fact that some guides repeat on categories most of them the future Walkthrough goty’s, I think that wasn’t a thing last year, so even less opportunities for less popular guides.

Yeah I can understand that point of view as well but usually the same thing ends up happening when most players end up nominating guides that they personally & then it just becomes more about how popular the game is & less about how good the guide is. Plus a lot of the more niche guides that are super well detailed & written get over looked since there isn't enough people talking about it because it's so niche. I can understand both sides & the pros & cons of each so it's really hard to balance it out. I think the best way would be to incorporate a mix of both systems in. Where some of nominees are decided by the users & some are decided by the guide team as to try & maximize on the pros of both systems & minimize on the cons Edited February 12, 2021 by ObsiEez 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kallume Posted February 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2021 Good luck to everyone nominated this year. For me, simply being recognized by the guide team, which consists of respected members of this community, is enough. (Though the badge is a nice accolade). I did not start writing guides for myself. I did not start writing guides to win any contest. I hope I speak for many guide writers when I say my inspiration is you: the players. I'm passionate about the games I represent, but I'm empowered when I know that my guide has helped even just one of you. I hope to continue providing you with quality work in the future and guide you through your library. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
