MAJOR UPDATE:
I've just compiled the existing scores, and the voter turnout is officially terrible!
Two games actually have only three votes each, and that includes the votes I gave them today! That is too low. Any game that has fewer than five votes will get thrown out of the contest. I can't justify scoring averages when the diversity of opinion is this limited. Yeah, I could add in the row of fives to satisfy the 2/3rds rule, but that would actually bring one of the games up, not down. Not exactly fair to the other entries.
I can't justify closing the voting period on these numbers. If you haven't voted yet, please do.
I'm extending the voting period by at least another week. Please, if you've played these games, vote. I don't care if you've released a game for the contest or not. Most of the contestants haven't voted themselves. Just vote. I've given you guys five weeks to play these games (30 minutes each is all I require), and I'm still below the minimum required for me to close the contest.
Seriously. Vote. I'm not closing the polls until the majority of games has at least eight votes. As of now, only 2 out of 12 have eight or more, and one of those games is the only game that two of my voters has voted on.
That's bad.
Also, if you've participated in the 2014 in Review contest, and you've posted a review on any of the games represented here, then that means you've played them, and I would really appreciate you giving a vote so I can close this contest.
Please. The only thing more pathetic than this year's voter turnout is me having to beg for votes. Seriously. It's not difficult to think of a number from 1 to 10 to represent your feelings about a game you've played.
If you need help, here's a guide:
10 - Flawless; impossible to improve
9 - Nearly flawless; might have a spelling mistake or two, but otherwise excellent
8 - Flawed, but you loved it anyway
7 - Not necessarily your favorite, but still pretty great
6 - Competent in some areas, but the flaws keep it from being great
5 - Neither awesome nor terrible. Just kinda fun. Its pros balance out the cons.
4 - Not terrible, but it definitely needs some work in key areas. Just entertaining enough to keep it from being truly bad.
3 - Needs to go back to the drawing board. Competent as a game, but severely flawed, with major areas in need of revision or polishing.
2 - Terrible game; ugly, unpolished, probably untested, lame story, etc. Probably should be rewritten from scratch.
1 - Incompetent on every level; so bad that it should be scrapped entirely and erased from the public's consciousness. The very mention of its name would incinerate entire nations.
Hope that helps.
Thanks.
