And it will be the best action games of the year.
Sorry Monster Hunter.
It's bizarre isn't it. It makes logical sense that a vote for the most anticipated games in 2018 is conducted as early in 2018 as is possible (or even before 2018 begins). That Nintendo chooses to announce their games later in the year is immaterial, because by definition gamers can't anticipate and be excited for games they don't know are coming. Other publishers will possibly have games scheduled to release in 2018 that stand currently unannounced. None of them get special treatment so why should Nintendo?...
Bluepoint deserves the recognition. The videos and info that came out of PGW and PSX gave it a big push.
Square's good at hitting their dates for the most part. Even FFXV they got the year right. It'll come out.
Time to post that SotC gif again!
Goodness! One more month!!!
... no it says most anticipated games OF 2018, not going into 2018. As such it's a bit weird to do it when a substantial number of the big profile games are being announced right after the deadline. Kind of like if you'd do "biggest megatons of the year" on March 31. It's not like waiting two weeks is such a big deal.
And why do I want it to accommodate for that? Well I think it's nicer if the rating of all the subcommunities are reflected when it says "Resetera's most X". That's what that title implies but more importantly I think it results in more interesting reading too. Bigger chance you see titles pop up you would have otherwise ignored. But we can also just call it most anticipated games going into 2018, and call it a day. I'm fine with that. At least I and surely some of the other people in this thread would be more inclined to join in on the voting again because it feels less like a farce. Anyway, I've said all I wanted to say and then some, so I'll leave it here.

The forest looked incredible. Have they confirmed 60 FPS for Pro users?
Tell Nintendo to hold their direct in December then.
Pretty. Like a moving painting

Ugh I'm going to end up buying this game and losing interest again for like the 4th time now aren't I? It just looks so damn good.
I don't see why you're still arguing about this, nor does it matter that much. It's just a fun little thing to do and discuss towards the end of the year. Some of you seem way too bothered about the fact that there's a lack of Nintendo games on the list. A farce? Really? You're kicking up a fuss and asking for the OP to change future deadlines to accommodate a January direct that may or may not happen. Honestly, it really doesn't matter. Jesus.
That may have come out harsher than I meant. More a bit pointless to vote.
I don't see how it's pointless. In an ideal world, everything coming in 2018 will already be announced. I wanted to put Battlefield 2018 on my list but EA hasn't formally announced it yet. Oh well, I just put the 10 games that are announced that I'm looking forward to the most. It's not that deep bro. Lighten up.
All this voting on games is pointless faff. Doesn't mean it can't be fun when you do it over a period of years and then look back, like Zelda never being most anticipated 3 years in a row and then being the GOTY juggernaut of the year it released.
And Fire Emblem Switch got voted in the top 20 based on nothing but an announcement, so I think this push back to the voting taking place at an inconvenient place in time is more motivated to not being able to boost your camp in this pointless platform war.
It's an reflection of what the people that have accounts on ResetERA and bothered to vote have a gameboner for in December 2017 going into the year 2018.

and somehow ppl managed to ruin even this.
Anyway thx for all the work you did. 2018 is gonna be amazing
You know, taken as it is right now- If you tell me all top 5 games on this list made it as GOTY 2018 nominees I wouldn't be surprised.
Well maybe RDR2... Because it would totally have MTX lootboxes...

Oh damn, that's right. It was by 6 points over Persona 5. I revise my statement and say this is the perfect indicator for quality and RDR2 will be GOTY. ;-)
But looking that up I saw the very same argument last year, except about the Switch Line-Up. I think that's why it was proposed to maybe do it every 6 months.
The problem with this logic is that you could keep holding off the vote for every planned and speculated announcement event on the gaming year calendar until it's just plain pointless.
"Oh wait a Direct is coming up!"
"Oh wait there's a rumour of something from Rockstar"
"Oh wait, GDC is soon!"
"PAX is around the corner!"
"E3!!!"
etc etc
Quite frankly you can't know the entire gaming line up of any given year until that year is already done.
So if it needs to be renamed to "most anticipated going into year X" as you say then so be it, as the alternative given is plain silly.
The most sensible time to do it is at the end of the prior year.
PS: this entire argument is going to look especially silly if the direct comes and goes with no big announcements, or heck if it doesn't happen at all.
What if Nintendo doesn't announce any major games in their Jan direct ? Should we wait till E3 to do the list ? There is a cut off date rule for a reason and op explained it perfectly in one of his posts which made complete sense .
On the other note, what if Nintendo 2018 is much weaker than their amazing 2017 ? Why do we assume they have an amazing 2018 ganes line up kept secret to reveal in the next few days ?

Here is something interesting :
Can you get the hit numbers of the YouTube trailers for the first 10 games on era list and let's see how era compares to mass market of YouTube ?
I will be extremely thankful to whoever that does it .cheers
Edit : list is in a post below

I mena it snot even a big deal at all these are the games people are anticipated why does this have to turn into some contest?
Atleast the Top 3
The most watched Youtube Trailers for each Game (counted all trailer with 1+ Mio Views)
Red Dead Redemption 2 ~ 75 Mio Views (Announcement Trailer)
God of War ~ 34 Mio (E3 2016)
Spiderman ~ 54 Mio (E3 2017)
That seems like something you could hit up Nightengale for. I think that's a topic he follows.
18 of top 20 are on PS4
Of which I'll be buying 15 of them 0_o
The system deserves another 20 million sales next year, it has had a consistently amazing line up of games every year.
Plus there's FFVII Remake, The Last of Us Part II and Death Stranding to come the year after (hopefully.)

Some damn solid games here...but let's just say this will also be a good opportunity to catch up on some 2017 titles as well...
Either I missed my chance to vote, or this slipped out from right under me since I didn't see the post earlier.
Can't say though that a single vote would have changed much considering the focus between RDR2, GoW and Spiderman. While it is nice to see MHW on the top 10, it is a bummer that DBFZ fell just shy of breaking into the Top 10.
It is going to be hard to be hyped for 2018 after what we got in 2017, but it should still be a fun year.

Yeah, dw we exist. Just not fun to talk about it too much precisely because of this. But the OTs for HR and Beyond where people actually play the game were generally very pleasant over at the old place. Well sourced criticism and appreciation without any of the dumb drive by posts. Im sure Detroit will be similar. For what its worth HR also got #6 at the 2010 GOTY voting and most of the people are here.

Yeah it gets annoying and sometimes I think it's the "cool" thing to do. I hope people know Detroit has multiple writers working on the game.
On a side note. Shenmue 3 at 19 is not bad considering they really haven't showed anything (ppl doubt it's even a 2018 title) and the marketing campaign has not even started.
