Walt the Dog Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 39 minutes ago, Floriiss said: First off let me start by saying congratulations to all of the guide winners! In the past year I’ve seen great guides that were very in-depth and overall very well written. It satisfies me greatly whenever I see such guides, as its evident that a lot of work went into it. Nothing but respect for people that go the extra mile. Next to that I’m quite in shock that my guide(s) have won! That came as a huge surprise. I’ve been putting a lot of effort in my own guides and creating them was far from easy, but then again I felt Crypt of the NecroDancer is such a niche game so it wouldn’t get as much attention as the other guides. Not to mention that a lot of great guides had been written throughout the year so I wasn’t expecting much out of it. I’m quite literally flabbergasted. Super excited though. Looking back at the nominations thread it warms my heart seeing the nominations I received. It’s always nice when your work is being appreciated. Therefore a big thank you to everyone who nominated me and commented on my guide(s)! I mean, I wouldn't say Crypt is that niche. It's pretty damn well known as one of, if not the hardest games to get platinum in, which would give it at least enough reputation that a guide like yours would easily get some nominations and subsequently get looked at by the judges for the award. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr2k_pdh Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Congratulations to all of the winners. I'd also like to thank the guide team for their consideration and everyone who nominated my guide for this year's awards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-River13 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 A lot of these guides are for games I'll never play so I won't ever use them but other folks will so thanks for that. Congrats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exsentry Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) Congrats to all the winners! Almost all my votes seemed to be fruitless, but wanted to show some of the unknown guides some love. Regardless, some outstanding work here.

Genjiff Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Congrats to the winners! I'm not writing guides frequently, so I was super happy that my DQ XI guide got nominated. It didn't win but all the winners were well deserved. Congrats again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristycism Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 1 12 hours ago, Beyondthegrave07 said: Not a bad idea in theory. Monthly nominations would probably be a bit easier to track and we'd have less guides forgotten. It'd be a ton of work though. Then what about quarterly? Guides from the beginning of the year are definitely often forgotten/don't get as much recognition come "Guide of the Year" time. It's no-one's fault, of course - every one of us remembers much more about how helpful a guide was that we'd used recently vs 10 months ago. Having nominations threads every three months (though no actual rewards until the end of the year, of course) would help reduce that to some extent, without having the work of doing it every single month. Then the guides that were voted for in each nomination period can be compiled together for the Guide Team to decide between for the end-of-year awards. Or something to that extent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post lilpain97 Posted February 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2020 Thank you to everyone who voted for my guide. Never would of thought I would get voted as it was my first guide and I can probably format it much better now. Huge congrats to all the winners and even those who didn't. Typing up guides can get tiresome and anyone who does it is automatically a winner for wanting to help others. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djippps Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Congrats to all the winners but also to all the guide contributors last year! ? ? ? We all know that each guide takes a while to write. But it also allows sometimes to meet new awesome players (thanks @GonzoWARgasm for the guide we did last year, it was great!), I strongly encourage guide writers to work together as a team, it can be a really nice and motivating experience. Last but not least, huge thoughts and thanks to the whole staff for all they do for the website ?. For a tiny example, the recent addition of a link to the base game guide inside the trophy list is pretty cool by putting into relief the contributions of guide writers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wavergray Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Since idea of how to make guide of the year more fair has come up in this thread a few time, I feel like this would be a good time to ask the following question. Would a simple "Guide of the Month" thread where the community voted on the best guide published in the past month and the winner of that vote would automatically gets nominated for guide of the year, actually help in making the guide of the year nominations seem more fair? With such a system the "popular games" problem could and probably will still happen, but with the guides of the "popular games" already nominated it would leave more "space" for nominations of "lesser known games" guides since the "popular games" guides would potentially already be nominated. The system would leave the nominations for main Guide of the Year looking something like this: The 12 "Guide of the Month" guides The X number of "wild cards" that would be chosen by the guide of the year nomination thread. (basically the current system). The votes for rest of the guide of the year categories would stay the same. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxIsa-GxX Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Congrats to all of the winners. This year had lots of great & detailed guides so it would be hard to pick those winners. My guide didn't have any chance against those tough competitors... But I want to thank to everyone who voted for the guide. Although it was my first time writing a guide and considering my English can be really awful/broken sometimes, I tried my best on this guide. Seeing it hit the 10K view mark is the bright side at least lol... I might try my luck again in future and come up with a second guide but until then, see you. And congrats to the winners once again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkshepherd Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Big respect to all writers and winners. Your time and effort writing is a blessing for gamers. Special mention to Jelloycat's Tokyo Xanadu one. Its my "next to play" (after DQ11) and i read the guide in advance and i already feel good about it. So thanks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually played through the game twice, once on a dummy account and once on my main account, just to make sure it was accurate. I did not expect to win in any category. Congrats to all the winners as well. Tokyo Xanadu is probably one I will play after Darksiders Genesis, yes I plan to make a guide for that one as well since I did all the other Darksiders.

I mean the text has broken Engrish, gets characters names wrong, and in some places still has Japanese text. It's a nightmare. It has a quest with such shitty text you don't even get context until you clear it, and even then they managed to make mistakes. Note: I'm shitting on the game, not the guide. I just wanted to make that 100% clear. I won't continue discussing it since it's OT. Edited February 10, 2020 by mako-heart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got that you were referring to the game, it is just that I haven’t really noticed it since I haven’t gotten too far in. My only beef is that a lot of stuff is missable.
