Thanks to those who participated in our main poll, we have a better idea of what games we want to focus on as a community. However, we do have some "runoff polls" that we would like feedback on for stuff that either didn't make it into the first round or was not ready at the time to be included. Right now, we are focusing on two categories: RPGs and Looter/Shooters. Any other games we want to add to these two categories? (need a nomination and second) Here is what I have so far: RPGs: Borderlands Divinity: Original Sin 2 Final Fantasy 14 Guild Wars Monster Hunter World Path of Exile Star Trek Online World of Warcraft (Classic) Looter/Shooters Anthem Apex Legends Destiny 2 Division 2 Shadow Warrior 2 Warframe I will give this until the end of the weekend for people to discuss and then we will open these polls up for voting. Please stay tuned for more details.
Allow me a moment to remove my "admin hat of impartiality" to promote a few games in particular that I think would be a great fit for our community: Division 2 is arguably the best playing and best executed Looter/Shooter on the market currently. The game can be played equally well solo or with friends. The game has many interesting modes for both PvE and PvE. There is a ton of content here. There are "cosmetics only" microtransactions, but nothing is pay to win and the MTX store can be ignored entirely. I'm not suggesting you go out and buy it right now, but about half a dozen of us already own it and we would recommend you keep this game on your radar for the future. The next big content update (all updates are free forever) will feature 8 player PvE raid missions; a perfect fit for our group. === Shadow Warrior 2 is "Your Favorite 80s Action Movie: The Game". It is an intensely fun game that plays like Doom, but is even MORE over the top and has enough character and weapon customization to also qualify as a Looter/Shooter. All this AND the whole campaign can be played in 4 player Coop. And yes, this is easily the most "OVER THE TOP" modern Shooter out there. Not many games can claim to have a giant brass dildo-sword for fucking up demons, but this game does.... and much, much more. Honorable Mentions: Moro is currently leading sessions for Borderlands and STO JP and Audit are organizing for the release of WoW Classic I am currently coordinating with our Warframe players to plan an organized play session every 1-2 weeks.
Fair enough. For the sake of comprehensiveness, in these "genre-specific" polls there may be a little overlap. The idea is to get as much comparative data as possible.
