Lamp, broken circa 1988 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 okay no update on a subforum request, so... HELLO WELCOME TO GENERATION OF GAMES 7 Rules!1. Eligible systems are Playstation 3, X-Box 360, Wii, DS and PSP.2. Please keep pimping in their related threads. Since this board is largely US-centric, use the United States release date as the relevant year.3. Create a ballot (minimum 20 games, maximum 50 games) and submit it to have your votes count. Suggestions!-Wikipedia wont always have the data you need, so if you want to double check a release date or a developer, GameFAQs and Giant Bomb are pretty reliable.-Maybe don't start system wars shit? -If it's a multiplatform game, just bring it up in the thread of the system you played it on. SEND BALLOTS TO dvdvr.generationgames AT gmail.comDUE DATE IS AUGUST 15TH, 2014 but I am willing to extend it if people want more time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Just a clarifying question Are you considering DS and 3DS one and the same? If not - are you considering 3DS part of the "next" generation (ie: would eventually be lumped in with XBone, PS4 and WiiU)? You might have discussed this elsewhere but I figured I would ask now. Oh and someone will definitely have to remind me around mid-August to submit a ballot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamp, broken circa 1988 Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 I'm considering 3DS as belonging to the current generation (w/ Wii U, Vita, PS4, XBone). The DS was the first system out for this generation, and so too was the 3DS for its generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salads Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 ^This is why people should always use gen numbers. No ambiguity and much quicker to type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustronaut Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 This is all just stealth marketing for Guardians Of The Galaxy, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSC Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I'm considering 3DS as belonging to the current generation (w/ Wii U, Vita, PS4, XBone). The DS was the first system out for this generation, and so too was the 3DS for its generation. Well shit look at that, I guess I have a next gen system after all.

Lamp, broken circa 1988 Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 Just thought I'd say that we're coming up on ONE MONTH LEFT for ballots, so if there's anything you want to replay and stand up for, get to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I don't remember if we answered this or not. If a whole series, say, Mass Effect, was exclusive to this gen, can we could the whole Trilogy (it was released/sold as a complete Trilogy eventually) or do we have to eat up possibly 3 spots for it?

RIPPA Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I have no problems using three slots for it Partly because one is further behind the other 2 Partly because it helps some of the hole left by me never getting a PS3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Some of it is that I might want to use the other two slots, the other is that I fully believe that the Series is greater than the sum of its parts. They're good games on their own, its an epic masterpiece taken as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamp, broken circa 1988 Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 given that there's one good mass effect* i think using multiple slots for your ballot cyanide pill is totally acceptable. Also because voting for an entire franchise as one slot is crazy. Like, if voting for gears also means voting for gears judgment, i would not vote for gears. *it's the second one EDIT: worth noting that I played ME on PCs, and ME1 was JAAAAAACKED. Like, if you have a multicore processor it would crash hourly, and if you overheated a weapon there was a high percentage chance that it would just never cool down unless you reloaded a save. I don't think Bioware ever patched that. And then I just never wanted to play ME3 after seeing the story leak and seeing I'd only be able to get it over Origin and fuck that (at the time, it's better now).

RIPPA Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 YOUR LIST HAS NO CREDIBILITY!!!! God - it is kinda sad that I realized that this fucking poll is the thing that is going to get me to go through my pile of shame since I have basically like two weeks now to play stuff just to see if I want to vote for it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously. EDIT: That moment when I manged to get around 45 games I'd rank, then realize that included is all of Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, Uncharted, and inFamous.

RIPPA Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Another clarifying question Is there a cutoff for games released on the system? or maybe I should ask - if a game was released for both XBone and 360 (or PS3 and PS4) - is it no longer eligible? I don't think I am considering anything that falls in that category - but playing the Destiny beta on the 360 made me realize that if the vote gets delayed a couple of weeks, Destiny would technically be eligible (depending on the answer to the question) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamp, broken circa 1988 Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 If it's physically released in the eligible period, it's eligible for the list. Now, I might send you a picture of someone side-eyeing someone out of frame if you put Destiny on the list of best games of the generation, but I'll allow it. And if the ballot gets delayed that might be trouble, because it would be delayed into after the start of my semester. So it'd be neat if we didn't need that, but if we do it's fine.

Lamp, broken circa 1988 Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 ONE WEEK LEFT I'm going to start checking the gmail account now so if you sent me a ballot already I'll shoot a confirmation back. Just to make the stakes clear, my schedule from September to mid December is a fucking nightmare, so if we have to push this back so people can get it done, it'll be to late december/early january Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamp, broken circa 1988 Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 I got one ballot. Due date is now December 10th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirSmUgly Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I am glad that this got extended; I just saw it. This gives me a chance to give Alpha Protocol the recognition it deserves in at least one tiny arena, damn it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Considering I've now played a few more games, I'll have to be revising my list (since I was the only submittal!!!!) At least to fit the Dead Space games in there somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Well I didnt feel right submitting one since I had never played PS3 stuff That changes THIS WEEK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
