I suspect the winner of BGE will be something retro. I could be wrong though.

I'll probably play it if I can. If it's something like Guacamelee, definitely. That game looks like it would be fun and interesting to play anyways.

Eh, it's easy to play games that look fun and interesting regardless! There are a bunch of them that I'll probably at least give a shot (Jagged Alliance 2, Opoona, EUIV, M&B Warband). But the challenge of the sacred BGE oath is commitment: if the community sees fit to deem a game worthy of the coveted title of "BEST GAME EVER!!!", then I trust them enough to blindly commit to playing it, no matter what it is.

But yes, it'll most likely be something relatively accessible, if the results from the past few years are anything to go by.

Quick every vote for the toughest hardest game. Or something like animal crossing which takes forever to truely beat.

That being said in new leaf I finished the museum after cheating the date. To get a couple of fish or bugs that I missed.

On a side not I'm going to try beat every top 10 game in the BGE. Assuming the title has an ending. If something like Team Fortress 2/Tetris/Space Invaders makes the top 10 I'll skip over it. (Not to mention I've played my fair share of Tetris and Space Invaders anyway).

I wish there was some kind of jokey finalist like Cheetahmen II that I could vote for just so that you guys have to play that laughable game.

If TF2 wins you have to win a round on 10 different maps.

Who else will join me in taking this sacred oath?

I will except I'll caveat that it must be available on hardware that I have access to. If it is not, then I'll play the next highest ranked game that is.

Basically I can't do a Nintendo, PC, or XBox game...

That's a pretty narrow range there

I'm hoping a solid PC game makes it into the top 10 list so I can give it a try.

It's likely that the top 5 games won't be from this gen anyways, so if I pick up a 360 I'll probably be able to play most of the games on the top 10 list.

To put it another way, I'm not spending hundreds on hardware just to play one game.

I am.

I'm confident that any game that makes it through this contest will be available on a system I can access, though.

I adhered to that oath, btw.

Now that a couple years have passed and we're gearing up for another event, are there any other games that people have played based on their performance in the 2015-16 BGE!!! project?
