It’s time for the 2018 Quarterlies! Vote for Quarter to Three’s Best Game of 2018

@Jack_Howitzer

Lamplight City

I’m intrigued by what you said about this game, I’ve been a long time P&C sceptic, but I do look to have my mind changed. Last year I played both The Red Strings Club and Unavowed (ninth and eleventh respectively on my GOTY list) and I thought they were both innovative examples of the genre, did you play them and how does Lamplight City compare?

I feel like my votes are throwaways for the most part so I kinda don’t know why I am even posting, but I guess it’s good to put something in for the record.

@Brooski

My votes are definitely all throwaways. Still fun to vote!

I enjoy reading what others played, and sometimes something I may not have heard of is mentioned and I wishlist it!

Wait, I thought you wishlisted every game on Steam?

[lordkosc]

Anime, VR, and most visual novels are never wishlisted!

[NuclearWinter]

I like seeing everyone’s picks, especially the more obscure ones that I wasn’t aware of (Scavenger SV-4!). I don’t think of them as wasted at all.

[Chappers]

@arrendek would you be willing to run a quarterlies maybe with people’s picks of their best games of the last 5 years? That way we can revisit games from previous years that maybe people didn’t have a chance to play in time for the quarterlies. Maybe we could limit the options to the top 10 of the last 5 quarterlies if easier. I would certainly be interested in this.

[jsnell]

@buzznaut, your formatting is wrong and the votes won’t be counted. You need to bold just the game name, not the whole line.

[arrendek]

I certainly could. The script won’t take much work to adjust to a top 10 and it’s still fresh in my mind so it should be easy to work on right now.

I’d be down for this. I only got around to trying Shadow Warrior long, long after it came out, and I would totally consider it for a spot in some sort of top ten list of the last five years. I didn’t know what I was missing. And there’s other titles I didn’t try until significant sales started 12+ months after a game’s release wh8ch kept them off the timely lists.

[Jorn_Weines]

I think this is a good idea since it would mitigate the “five games I played” element.

[arrendek]

Hey everyone! Voting ends tonight (in 13.5 hours?)! So get those votes in!

So far, turn out this year has been much better than last year. The scores are pretty high comparatively.

@J_Thomas

But after skimming the thread, it was depressing that Subnautica didn’t show up more often on people’s lists.

I have a feeling you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

It took a lot of willpower to not vote Castlevania Requiem as my GOTY. Which is partly a testament to how few 2018 games I played last year.

1. Dead Cells
2. OOTP 19
3. Forza Horizon 4
4. Magic: the Gathering Arena
5. Donut County

@Chappers

@arrendek would you be willing to run a quarterlies maybe with people’s picks of their best games of the last 5 years? That way we can revisit games from previous years that maybe people didn’t have a chance to play in time for the quarterlies. Maybe we could limit the options to the top 10 of the last 5 quarterlies if easier. I would certainly be interested in this.

Gamers With Jobs lets people pick their GOTY from any game they played for the first time that year. I think it works pretty nicely.

[CraigM]

Yup. Though I don’t post there that often, I do peruse that thread among others. I personally prefer that, but that may be because I am personally always a few years behind ;)
