Popular Post Dreggit Posted January 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2022 - THE RESULTS - Hello PSNProfiles! It's that time of the year again, the 8th year in a row that we've posted results for the Guide of the Year Awards. Like the past three years we award the top 3, then give 21 more guides some love as well. This has worked well in the past and continues to ring true! The winnings this year will be split between all authors on a winning guide. Guide of the Year Winners To start off as we have from the beginning, the first awards we'll give are for the top three guides this year from all of your votes for this category. The quality of guides this year has been incredible, but these are the bunch that stood out the most from the nominations! Unlike last year though, there is only one tie! What a surprise it was, even after 127 valid votes, that there was still a tie and some of the tallies came quite close even after we double and triple checked the votes! Here are the winners! Each will receive a $100 (1st), $80 (2nd) or $60 (3rd) prize, or split the prize where applicable amongst winners! 1st Place Final Fantasy XIV Trophy Guide By Rebourne07, MakoSOLIDER, and zekunlu 2nd Place Hades Trophy Guide By Argandalf_01 3rd Place (2-way tie) The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV Trophy Guide By RaveNScythE18 Control - 100% Trophy Walkthrough By Optinooby What a year it has been. Honestly, who knew we would have had such a successful year! We started what seemed like ground zero but rose from the ashes to form a stronger community than ever before. It was a record breaking year on several fronts and over 1,000 reviews were issued this year. Quite an achievement! Please do not fret though if your guide did not win GOTY, all guides that were nominated could have equally won this coveted prize and are all deserving of the highest of praises. Please! Pat yourself on the back for all you've achieved this year and join us in celebrating the winners this year. The Exceptional Guide Winners Three years ago we started the format of awarding 21 guides with the exceptional awards and it has done well, and has been well received by the community! This year we've decided to do that again, but also decided to continue last years choice of awarding an Exceptionally High Quality badge to all nominated guides, recognizing their efforts in going above and beyond in the work these authors created. We thought it made more sense to do this since all guides submitted were of incredible quality. Along with those however, your community votes will lead to some lucky authors earning some sweet cash prizes of $50 for 1st place, $40 for 2nd place, and $30 for third place in each category! Well done to the winners, these guides are incredible. Exceptional Trophy Guides These are guides that are impeccably well crafted to help earn the most dastardly of platinums. Hades Trophy Guide by Argandalf_01 Final Fantasy XIV Trophy Guide by Rebourne07, MakoSOLIDER, and zekunlu Persona 5 Strikers Trophy Guide by BeforeJam, LuckySlime, and ObsiEez Exceptional Gameplay Guides These are guides we've felt really shine with their organization, details, and ability to guide you through your games. Every year, it's been absolutely mind-blowing to see the quality rise. (tied!)

Congratulations to the lucky winners below! @zizimonster @pathtoninja @Mr_Wright95 I would like to congratulate all guide writers this past year. Not just the authors that got published, but the writers too. I know that this year started rough with obscene delays of months to get a review, and it took a long time to get things back in control. Thank you for your patience and trust in our transition into a new team and thank you for all that you do for our community. It is no small task to write a guide and is often a far bigger undertaking that anyone initially realizes. If you have ever started writing, or have been writing a guide, I applaud you. To want to create something so to just help those around you is an incredible thing and deserves to be celebrated. So thanks to all of you out there, writers and authors both! As to all of our nominees, and those that did not make it into nomination, be proud of what you created and I thank you for all you do for this community and its members. Please join me in congratulating all of our nominees and winners!

Popular Post yanderegogeta Posted January 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2022 Wow... honestly blessed to have gotten first on the retro guide and second on the gameplay guide. Slime and I put a lot of work into the Persona 4 Arena one, and I put my all into the Resident Evil 4 one. To be on the same level as the Control and Persona 5 Royal guides is insane to me. Congratulations to everyone who was nominated. This year has been my favorite of using guides since the quality has been really exceptional. Here's to another great year 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tentativeuser Posted January 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) I am truly honored and grateful for the amount of support from this community. It was already a privilege to be nominated among nearly 500 incredible guides, let alone winning both Guide of the Year and Exceptional DLC Guide. I would like to sincerely thank the guide team, my fellow authors, and the PSNProfiles community at large for helping me discover a passion for writing guides — it's been an incredible experience and I can't wait to see what everyone has in store for 2022.

Popular Post Lil-Gameboy123 Posted January 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) Since joining back in 2017, I will say that 2021 was one of the greatest years of guide writing I’ve ever seen. Congratulations to all who were nominated and won! You guys really gave it your all this past year and really crafted these guides like works of art. I’m glad to have been a part of this, although I didn’t win. See you all next year and good luck everyone! I’d also want to shout out to Xillynoc and Argandalf on their numerous and tremendous guides in 2021. The amount of time and effort they put into all of their guides was outstanding and I hope they continue that trend for 2022.

Popular Post Shikotei-kun Posted January 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2022 I've said it in the Writer's Discord, and I'll say it here again: Getting nominated for writing an exceptionally high quality trophy guide is a victory itself. My first guide here (Xenon Valkyrie+) got so much more attention than I expected, and I'm very grateful for it! It's like getting an invitation to join the starting line of a competition you never even considered entering. Congratulations to all who got nominated, and an applause for those who voted! I couldn't pick 2 of each category, they were all just that good. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
