The EZA Community Top 25 of 2008!
-
I did the impossible and narrowed down my list.
Ultimately, I voted for games that I think hold up today.
For example, I loved R6 Vegas 2 at the time. It was quite honestly my favourite co-op experience in an era where every single game had a tagged on co-op or multiplayer mode. But I played it recently in 2021 and it just isn't fun anymore. Everything from acting, graphics, controls, AI, and structure just don't hold up.
Same goes for SOCOM Confrontation. It's an all time great game for me, but in 2008 it launched a broken and buggy mess and was lucky it received some generous 5/10's instead of 1's and 2's. It shaped up into an amazing game but basically impossible for me to argue for it in 2008.
-
Before I gather my list I was prepared to say this was a weak year but there are still nice ones so I won't say that
Still, I can put this one in 2012, 2014 category I guess.
-
@scotty I don't know-2008 had a more defined GOTY winner whereas in 2012 and 2014 it was a toss-up and no game really stood out. You wonder why GT picked Hearthstone in 2014 and X-Com: Enemy Unknown in 2012-who thought either of them was going to win and deserve to win? I think the best years in videogames either have a clear-cut GOTY or there are several very strong contenders. the latter was evident in 2013 and 2011-there were so many great games that came out in those years.

One more week to vote! Get your top 8 submissions into me ASAP!

I agree about this but I don't have the same passion about 2008 games comparing to more recent years.

I still have not received any votes from @Capnbobamous @Oscillator @yoshi @DMCMaster @E_Zed_Eh_Intern @Mbun @B-Cell @MiserablePerson @Chocobop @Danjin44 @Hazz3r -there are probably several others I haven't mentioned but if you have a top 8 for 2008 you have two more days to PM them to me.

Wow, 16 games for this year for me. Now to cut them down.
-
Today is deadline day and I have 19 votes. I require at least 6 more votes before we can proceed, so if you can't get them to me today I am willing to grant an extension. I will not begin this list until I have at least 25 votes so please get them to me ASAP.
-
@jdincinerator you could try DM anyone that usually votes.
-
@paulmci27 I have tagged several of them already.
-
Ok im here will send my votes in soon

-
We have 20 votes 5 more and I'll close the voting and count up the votes before the countdown begins. I'm going to grant a two-week extension here, so please get them to me by July 22nd. Also the voting will close when I have 25 votes-so yes two weeks to make another 5 votes. I will close down the community vote on July 22nd if there still isn't 25 voters.
-
Can I make an alt account and vote again?
-
@neocweeny You probably should have done that without telling me because then I wouldn't know.
-
Sorry, been on vacation, will do this tonight.

Just a reminder-there's 10 days left to vote or I'll have to abandon it altogether. I still only have 21 votes and require a further 4 to proceed.
