Just ignore it - this poll is a joke this year... I voted for Soul Calibur VI on PC/Xbox because it wasn't available to vote for on the PS4 poll (and neither were any of the other PS4 games I bought this year).Any specific reason as to why Red Dead Redemption 2 isn't on this list?
As far as I remember the Xbox version is the best looking one and the only one that runs at 4k resolution.

Because RDR2 already had its representation on the prior list?Any specific reason as to why Red Dead Redemption 2 isn't on this list?
That was basically my goal in this. No repeats so every game gets its time to shine a little bit. They'll all lose in the end, but really, this is just for people to discuss what games they had their most fun with, not a hardcore serious vote to the death.Whoever put Cross code on the list:
Thank you!
I know that game won't win it but giving smaller releases some attention is great.
Then why not just one poll with all the releases on it?Because RDR2 already had its representation on the prior list?

Splitting them in more recent years seems to have gotten far more positive reception in general. Large polls also had people focus only on the major games, too. Some games will admittedly fall through the cracks, we're not omnipresent. I'm open to hearing what could be bettered for next year's list, but just saying the poll is junk helps no one. Keeping a singular poll looks clunky and ends up limiting discussion, while multiple polls gives a wider variety, end up with more varied posts about games, yet lead to a mix-matched list. I don't see any reason in listing RDR2 twice over--what if it won both categories and thus two versions of RDR2 end up against each other in the end? This is a non serious thing for fun and for people to talk. It doesn't have to be mega serious and have strict rulesets.Then why not just one poll with all the releases on it?
I understand the challenge, but found it extremely annoying that literally all of the titles I'd bought for PS4 this year were missed off the list for that system and only one of them found it's way onto another list (this list, which I wouldn't ordinarily even look at as I've not bought any Xbox/PC games this year).Splitting them in more recent years seems to have gotten far more positive reception in general.

I thought about multiplatform, and I like the idea of it, but there's far, far more of those than exclusives. Splitting it between genres seems like a good compromise, though! That way there's lots of options for everyone to pick and discuss, but not all clumped together in a mess! I'll definitely think about that one next year.Perhaps next year there should be a separate poll for multi-plat releases, allowing console exclusives to shine... what would be even better would be separate categories for each genre per system (limited to a short list of titles within those genres).
