[Umbra_Witcher]

congrats to all the winners and i want to give a shoutout to my buddy Celestial Requiem. he put his heart and soul in that sol cresta guide.

[kumo_mick]

Well done @Optinooby I've been using your Resident Evil guides on You Tube recently and have been seriously impressed with those. Started with Resident Evil and since you made that so easy for me I decided to start smashing through the rest. Wish me luck...

[Xillynoc]

Man, this was a truly stacked GOTY round, and that was after narrowing it down from a kajllion other solid guides to begin with! Round of applause to all the well-deserved winners, and an obligatory shoutout to @CelestialRequiem for taking home the overall gold (and likely questioning reality at this point).

[ZaPistol]

Congratulations, @CelestialRequiem!

[Optinooby]

Congrats to the winners and thanks to all guide writers for your amazing guides!

 

Also a big thank you to the whole PSNProfiles Team for everything you do here

[ShadowSkill]

Congratulation to all winners ?

Love to read the guides on PSNP they lead us to get more Plats! 

[Desavenencia]

First of all, I want to congratulate those chosen as winners this year in each and every one of the categories. You’re all the protagonists here today. Well done.

 

I want to thank those 234 authors for creating those 658 guides throughout 2022. It’s wonderful to see that there’re so many users personally involved in the development of guides that help our entire community and even beyond, since I’m sure that there’re a large number of people outside PSNP who come in daily to consult guides here. Something that says a lot about the reference point that this website represents. A great pride, of course. Thank you all for making it possible.

 

 

Finally, although this has nothing to do with the awards, I didn’t want to miss this opportunity to remember two people who have left us behind this past January and who belonged to our community. Many of you will already know, but on January 15 and 27, roosta_141 and OniWalker left us respectively. They haven’t been able to be present here this year. We’ll miss you both. Rest in peace.

Thanks also to all the PSNP staff for maintaining and taking care of the order of the forum. Special mention on this occasion to the Guide Team — @Charizarzar, @Dreggit, @Roronora_Zoro666, @Vanqishd — for helping at all times and facilitating the work of the writers.

 

And, since I have started to mention people, I will follow the desire of Dreggit and join in mentioning the participants to give them the good spam in their notification trays…

Congratulation to all winners and nominees and thank you for all the wonderful guides you have created. I would also like to thank the guide team for their effort in maintaining the quality of the published guides. 

 

I'm so grateful for being nominated this year and winning in 3 categories, I still can't believe it. Thanks to all who nominated my guides and special thanks to Charizarzar for all the help in the God of War guide, we had a great time working on this big project. 

 

Can't wait to see what 2023 has for us...and good luck to all the authors.

Wow I had no idea about what happened. Oniwalker's guides helped me out quite a bit, rest in peace to both of them.

[Leewor]

Congratulations to all winners. Thanks for your efforts!

[dieselmanchild]

Congratulations to all the nominees & winners this year, and a special shout out to @CelestialRequiem for taking home the big prize with a well deserved GOTY! ?

 

And to all of you who creators & folks on the guide team who spend countless hours writing, editing, and reviewing and contributing work to this amazing site, just let me say THANK YOU! You people don’t get anywhere near the kind of credit and recognition you truly deserve. Each and every one of you has done outstanding work. You guys are the lifeblood of this website, this community, and this hobby as a whole, and most of us wouldn’t be able to do what we do without your contributions.

[Kneekickers]

I'm very pleasantly surprised that I was nominated, congratulations to the other nominees and the winners. I've always respected people who take the time and effort to make guides, and that respect has only grown more now that I now firsthand what writing guides are like.

Shame I didn't notice the awards sooner, I'll try to remember to vote next year.

[TheBlaskar]

The difference between a guide and no guide is the difference, more often than I'd like to admit, between playing and ignoring a game. Thank you, guide writers, you really are amazing-- and congrats, especially, to those mentioned in this award post!

[igs63]

The biggest of congratulations to @CelestialRequiem for GOTY and all other winners! You have certainly set the bar for top quality guide writing and it has been proven that the niche games are just as important as the widely popular ones. 
 

Fellow authors, thank you for your hard work and dedication- whether you won a prize, didn’t win a prize, or didn’t get nominated at all.

 

A message to any readers who are considering becoming first time authors- if you have knowledge and passion about any game, don’t be afraid to share it! There is also an awesome community of authors ready and willing to help you out.

 

It was an absolute privilege to be nominated this time around and I will strive to improve and achieve this feat hopefully again some time in the future  What a wonderful community to be a part of. Thank you authors, thank you guide team, thank you readers, thank you everyone!

 

Here’s to 2023!!

[JayLatte]

Congrats to all of the winners!!

[Terra]

Congrats to everyone. Really good guides this year

[Deadly_Ha_Ha]

Ok let's take this from the top! @CelestialRequiem and I have been friends for over ten years now and it's important to understand that in all my life I have met extremely few people who are as driven and dedicated as he is. He does not seek glory, or recognition except from those whose own lives have, for him, helped drive his aspirations further. People like Hideki Kamiya, for instance, or - heh - me. But anyway his life has in many ways been shaped by PlatinumGames, not Platinumgames or Platinum Games alright? For him, then, it only makes sense to dedicate his all to giving back to P* in any way he can, and to show his appreciation for what they have given him by sharing all that he has taken away from them with other people who are willing to experience real, true quality. He does not seek to live someone else's experience for them, or to simply tell them what to do, or to play for them, but instead to allow for the best informed experience they can possibly have. I was privy to the goings-on of his writing the Sol Cresta guide and I can honestly say that I was humbled by the effort. Without a single resource to help him, he got every available trophy in all four stacks of this game, and effectively busted down P*'s doors with the help they needed to fix the bugs in their own game until the platinum was achievable, and he did none of this for clout or favor, but because he loved Sol Cresta so much and wanted P* to benefit from what they had given him in whatever way possible. 

 

In reality, it is because of him that this platinum is even achievable, and he continues to not only be the most informed source for anything Sol Cresta, but the only one anyway. Let's just be clear then: This guide deserved to win because, simply put, it is the singular resource one can find for this game, and its quality and its author's expertise are unmatchable at this time. Nothing against any other guide to have entered in this year, but hand to God, what CelestialRequiem did for Sol Cresta and what he put into ensuring that he was qualified to write this guide, I doubt anyone else has ever done this before on this website. When we did the Armored Core Verdict Day guide we put a similar level of dedication into it, but the available resources already helped with that. For this, CR went into no-man's land and weathered difficulty that no other game had ever presented him (he didn't even call Sol Cresta a 10/10 in the guide because he respects difficulty ratings), total information unavailability, and an impossible platinum, and fought tooth and nail to fix the game, plat it on every region, and craft a simply incredible piece of writing.

 

I don't care how close it may have been, I'm thankful that this site recognized him as being the one most deserving of the GOTY award. And may I say, I also wish we as a community had offered roosta_141 a posthumous honor for being a guide writer and member of this website who died tragically.

[BilalElOtmani]

Congratulations!! to All the winners ???

[GanseySargent]

Congrats, guys! Always fun to see everyone's guides. Keep up the good work ?

[SquidGeneral10]

Feeling absolutely honoured to have taken first place in the formatting category - it wouldn't have been possible without my amazing co-author @Uzi_wad, with bonus shout-outs to highly encouraging PTH legends @Flynnerigan, @ZackisNb1, @IDiivil, and everyone else who inspired me to keep on a-writing, or giving me those warm fuzzies from seeing a guide help people unlock trophies.

 

Damn near every guide I peeped at this year was of fantastic quality, so the guide team really deserves a special mention - for helping new authors find their footing, to helping existing authors find their spelling errors and over-use of the word 'simply'.

 

Here's to a great 2023-and-beyond, and remember - if in doubt, add more tables! Cheers!

[visighost]

I want to congratulate, but mostly THANK from the bottom of my heart all guide writers, on this site and elsewhere, as well as the volunteer staff who are tasked with the hidden work of editing, formatting, and… guiding. It takes a tremendous amout of time and effort, and it does not go unnoticed!

 

So again, from someone who was mailing in guides to magazines some 30 years ago before the internet was a thing, and now only has time for random mini-guides of unknown games (hopefully they have been of help to a handful of people!), THANK YOU!

Excellent work Squid, thoroughly deserved! Thankfully I was able to get through Spelunky prior to the results of voting! ?

[Aboelsas]

Congratulations to all the winners. It feels great to be among this community, and hopefully, our new guides in 2023 will be even better. Long Live Play
