The EZA Forum Hall of Greats (September 2022)
-
Yes! Thanks to @Capnbobamous for continuing to keep doing this each few months! Very tough choices this time as all the games were grand! Will likely be looking for that Chronicles of Riddick remaster! All the others I actually have and some I even want to replay soon, like What Remains of Edith Finch! Thankful for the votes I got and am looking forward to the next one! Thanks people!

I anyone has ability and interest to share this on Community Showcase, the submission post is up.
-
I don't see the post so I think I might've left that tier at some point.
In terms of how frequently to do this, January seems fine. That's 4 months away. I never really know what games to bring to our Hall of Greats tbh but I do like shining a light on some of my favourite games that I feel don't get enough credit among the more "serious" gamer crowd. Respect to Bruno for brining Madden last time because PS2 era Madden was phenomenal and I don't think annualized games will ever get the long term credit they deserve outside of outliers like NHL 93/94. But I'd like to go back and play some of my favourite sports / racing games and really try to formulate a case for them.
-
@Capnbobamous I know you typically reveal it at the top of the next HoG, but would you be interested in doing the updated showcase image of the winners now? I'd like to share it on Kyle's Twitch stream with my next resub in about 10 days.
-
Sent it in for The Community Showcase!
-
@oscillator Sure I'll make it as soon as I can
-
Here you go @Oscillator
I have to compress it to get it to fit on the forum, so if you would like a larger version DM me and we can figure out how to get it to you.

It's great, actually slightly better quality than the last one. :)
Thanks for expediting!!

@bruno_saurus Here it is:

Kyle and his Twitch chat react to the inductees:
-
@oscillator hahaha that was such a vintage Kyle reaction. Also apparently I've been using the wrong FF7 box art the whole time lol. Whoever put the PS1 logo on the Remake box art did it just to confuse me.
-
Damn Kyle hatin' haha.
I think our list is pretty solid tbh. It beats an exclusively Mario and Zelda HOG.
Now to get some cult classic gems in there...
-
Hey folks, just a reminder that we're doing this again next month. Wouldn't hurt to start thinking about it!
-
@capnbobamous I have a suggestion. The forum was down last couple of days, so let’s add a formal rule: if forum becomes inaccessible during one of the phases, the phase gets extended for the downtime period.
P.S. I know I promised to bring a game you'll likely will not even consider voting for, but I’ve pushed that back, because I want to bring something else first. Slowly working on my presentation, hopefully you’ll like it and I’ll finally get my nominee in.
-
Mmm, I hope a good crowd shows up, with how shaky the forum's been lately. :-\
-
@oscillator If there will not be enough participants you can try invinting Kyle. He seemed very passionate about our Hall of Greats in the clip you've shared earlier.
-
@ffff0 What clip?
-
I'm always thinking about the next HoG or GOTY thread. I'm set with nominees and lists respectively for a WHILE...
And to the point about the Forums being down recently, it had me concerned for this very reason, because with how little traffic this place gets, it has me legitimately wondering if whomever makes the final call on this place decides to close it down for how few of us remain. So I concur on (and am all for) adding a permanent extension to any segment (presentation/cross-examination/voting) that is forcibly delayed by the Forums going down.

@jdincinerator From this post: https://forums.easyallies.com/topic/6684/the-eza-forum-hall-of-greats-september-2022/107#
Seems like it's no longer available, so let me give you the summary. Kyle was presented with the list of our winners and his reaction for every second entry was "Dude, come on! COME ON!!! Eight best games and THIS is what you've picked?!!!"
-
@brannox I don't think recent downtime was intentional. I've told Blood about it, he quickly forwarded the issue to the admins and soon everything was fixed.
