Any suggestions?
Yeah, all the games that have been in the finals of these polls that you said you haven't played. ;)

My issue is that a 6-year old game managed to win our GotY. I'd be griping about this here if Guacamelee managed to win, too.
I'll share some of the blame for that as I think it was my vote that caused it to win. Out of the options presented, and with two votes available combined with the fact that I could view the votes selected to date, I blatantly pushed it into the lead knowing full well I was voting for repackaged dlc. Guac was another repackage, I didn't think much of Shovelknight, and haven't played Mario Kart 8.. My reasoning? Wolfenstein: The Old Blood. In this community, between what would have been the tie-breaking games, I can't honestly believe that it would get much more support than it has. A quick death was chosen.
I was also partially responsible, but I won't share any "blame." Of the games presented, the two that I felt were best and that I enjoyed most were this and Guacamelee, so they got my votes. This is why we have the old "what's a repackage" discussion (which comes up every year) before the BGE starts.

Damn, somehow I forgot to nominate one of the GOATs: L.O.R.D. - Legend of the Red Dragon, a fantastic ancient asynchronous BBS multiplayer game. LORD.

I forgot to nominate Dead Space 3 - one of the best PS3 games out there.
I’ve been waiting for the sun to come up. Waiting for the showers to stop. Waiting for the penny to drop. One time. And I’ve been standing in a cloud of plans. Standing on the shifting sands. Hoping for an open hand. One time.

Wow, this has been one of the first rounds (Top 1024 Week 6) in recent memory where the higher seed has won in (almost) every single bracket, with the only exception being Metal Slug X beating the best game in the Fire Emblem series in poll #32. So close to a clean sweep!

Wanted to note the egregious lack of Alien: Isolation and of The Persistence. What was I thinking? I didn’t know any better at the time…I’m fortunate to have since enjoyed those amazing games.
