Popular Post Dreggit Posted February 2 Popular Post Share Posted February 2 - THE RESULTS - Hello PSNProfiles! It's that time of year again, the 10th annual results for the Guide of the Year Awards. As with previous years, we award the top 3 guides a special seal on their guide, then award the 21 winning guides in the excellent categories. In the event of a tied position, or a winner with collaborators, the awarded prize money is split evenly. In the past year, the author community was able to beat several records such the record for most trophy guides published in a single year, most guides published in a month for, June, July, September and October. The record for most guides published in Summer (Jun-Aug) and Autumn (Sep-Noc) was also broken, well done everyone! We continue to see a rise of PS5 publications and a fall in PS4 publications, and expect them to be about even in the next publication year, and for PS5 to continue to be the most published platform in future years. We had 226 unique authors this year, 294 days of publications, and 628 overall guides published. Now the moment you've all waited for, the winners! 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 seen incredible heights and proved hard to decide for the community, but these are the bunch that stood out the most from the nominations! Here are the winners! Each non-staff member will receive a $100 (1st), $80 (2nd) or $60 (3rd) prize, or split the prize where applicable amongst winners! 1st Place Borderlands 2 - A Vault Hunter's Diary by HuntingFever 2nd Place Dead by Daylight - The 100% Dead By Daylight Guide by pjcooper2012 3rd Place (tied) Final Fantasy VI - Pixel Remaster Walkthrough by RaveNScythE18, AquaNSky, jermthejerm, The_Kopite, and zekunlu. Hogwarts Legacy Trophy Guide by Argandalf_01, Charizarzar, Dsr8002, and MohandGamer7 The past year has been a difficult year for voting, so much for we had to extend the categories to include more authors, but even then, we couldn't fit in all the amazing guides written this year. Please do not feel disheartened if you did not win the Guide of the Year Awards, 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 Five 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! As always, we have our 5 mainstay categories and 2 wildcard categories, and as is traditional now, all nominees received the EHQ seal. 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.

Popular Post Lil-Gameboy123 Posted February 3 Popular Post Share Posted February 3 OH MY GOD, 1ST PLACE!!! I want to say thank you to everyone who voted for my Red Dead Redemption guide in this competitive year. Writing a guide for this beloved classic was something that was long needed as a modern update to the original PS3 guide. I'm grateful for the love and support it has since received since its publication. This past year also saw me collaborating a lot more, a risk that i'd never see myself doing. But I otherwise had a great time working with some of the most experienced and passionate authors this website could ever have. With that, I want to thanks all the authors whom i've had the pleasure in working with in 2023: @The_Kopite, @X_RaceKing_X, @Ghost-Zeus514, @SzzMN, @distressedjazz, @Wheat_YT, and @Bird But a special thank you in particular to @Roronora_Zoro666 for teaching me a few things during our time on Sonic Frontiers. It is with your guidance that I was able to push myself further creatively and deliver the best I could in 2023. With all that aside, congratulations to all the winners! . 2023 really was a tough year overall, but you all made yourselves shine with some of your best works and I look forward to seeing what you all deliver in 2024. I want to also congratulate the authors who made their debut this past year, knowing that their first few guides weren't gonna be easy, but manage to pull through and present themselves creatively with the games they have covered. Congrats again everyone and good luck in 2024! 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
