Well it is a popularity list so I'm not surprised by the results so far, and what might be the top 5. It's pretty much gonna be the same when the GOTY and the anticipation threads come around.
Yeah when BOTW was put up there heads exploded on if it was an "RPG" and why the their greatest game in existence was so low.

Kotor 2 is soo friggin good, despite being half-finished. Most interesting Star Wars game ever, both in its design, its excellent characters, its writing and the brilliant themes it was tackling with. Makes Kotor 1 look like a modern BioWare game in comparison.
Haha yeah but with every update it gets more fun :D As long as FF6 and Chrono Trigger are in the top5 it's fine for me though. I guess Witcher 3 will be #1...wich is wrong but that's the world we live in xDFinal Fantasy X above FF V, FF VIII and FF XII on Era's Top RPG List.
KOTOR above KOTOR 2, Deus Ex, both Kiseki games, Shadowrun and both Divinity OS games.
Xenoboob Chronicles 2 above Dragon Quest VIII, Mother 3 ad Suikoden.
I got into Diablo with 2, and trying to go back to the first afterwards was so hard. I could never do it. The slow and grid-like character movement was just something I had no patience for after the free form sprinting you got in Diablo 2.
There was a lot of propping up of Torchlight at the time of Diablo 3's release mostly due to backlash over Diablo 3's always online nature, but imo the Torchlight games don't hold a candle to Diablo, and no game since Diablo 2 has really managed to get quest design and pacing as good. Every other looty ARPG (including D3) just inundates you with quest after quest and so many of them are meaningless, Diablo 2 had a lot of unique rewards and gave most of them meaning for completion beyond progressing a story or ticking off another box.
After playing Lords of the Fallen, I'm not sure I even want to add this to my library.
Final Fantasy X above FF V, FF VIII and FF XII on Era's Top RPG List.
KOTOR above KOTOR 2, Deus Ex, both Kiseki games, Shadowrun and both Divinity OS games.
Xenoboob Chronicles 2 above Dragon Quest VIII, Mother 3 ad Suikoden.
Not sure what you were expecting from this place. It's most of the same people who made the gaf lists every year.
It's why I didn't bother making a list or even opening the thread to see the results. The real RPG list every year is from rpg codex. Despite the trashy forums they know their RPGs.
the finalist list better have X-2 and 4 Heroes of Light as the best FF games
also i'm ready to barf when Horizon or GoW take the #1 spot

It varies by game, but usually in one of:
- The game's installation folder
- My Documents
- Somewhere in C:\Users\YourLoginIDHere\AppData\ (replacing YourLoginIDHere with whatever your Windows login ID is).
In this case, a quick Google search brings up this: https://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Full_Metal_Furies#Save_game_data_locationon

Glad to hear you like it. Harebrained Schemes really did alright for themselves in their run of Shadowrun games; 1st one was stumbling, 2nd a triumphant, and their last one kinda spinning the wheels a bit I admit.
We still see plenty of decent weekly bundles, they've just not yet fully got back into their stride again after the Steam Summer Sale - don't write them off just yet.
Also, Fanatical have some very nice bundles fairly frequently. If you don't already own the bundled games, their current Anthology Awesome Bundle is superb: https://www.fanatical.com/en/bundle/fanatical-anthology-awesome-bundle
God of War being on the list is madness.......
But then Breath of the Wild is on there.....fucking a.
Horizon is number 75 or so on the list. Don't know about GoW though.
Just to add onto this, a couple more locations
%LOCALAPPDATA% (Local AppData)
%APPDATA% (Roaming AppData)
%PROGRAMDATA% (rare and stupid)
Your Steam userdata folder
At least check the list before going all woe is me. Horizon is 75.
God of War didn't make the top 100

Checking the Thread: Is there any other platform other than Steam where people would be happy that a game isn't coming to it?

I'm glad it's at least confirmed and out the way. Not really making me want to get this on release day cuz I don't want another launcher added to my desktop until I see some reviews for the game.
In other news, Dead Cells is officially out of Early Access. It's on launch discount for $19.99.
Wasn't gonna play it anyway. They probably got pissed at how poorly the paid mods went over. My only problem is if this is successful i'll likely not play another bethesda game because they won't be on steam.
Hmh not sure I'm feeling Chasm, while on paper just my kind of game, how it plays might be "anti me", in that I've only played it two hours but already screamed out loud several times. There is just something about everything being designed to be irritating, like it isn't fun to kill stuff and such. Might give a couple of more hours and then drop it. Decided to play it before Dead Cells because have a feeling that one will be much better.
I like seeing your posts in my feed. It's like my backlog is auto playing itself. Since you do like writing my only feedback would be when reviewing older games take time to consider the time they were released and how that particular time in the industry may have influenced certain decisions that do or don't hold up today.
This. Especially being in development, I really connect with how much people invest in these products big and small. I've always been that way though. You never know where you will find a cool little mechanic or interface solution.
This is so true.
Sometimes I know going in I'm not going to finish even if I enjoy it. I just don't have the time and would rather check out other things once I understand the gameplay loop.
I would like to borrow your time machine please. I tried to hyper focus like that a few times across consoles and it never lasted long so I respect your discipline.
I'm not surprised really, Bethesda's online games have never been on Steam on launch. From Tes Online to Fallout shelter and Quake Champions. They all ended up on Steam after a while. But I suppose a Fallout game made by BGS will be big enough that it may never release on Steam.

Is there any platform or store where people constantly complain about the cut it takes off sales?
Nope. You'd think Valve had pissed on peoples dogs.
What if I told you that.....
30% of what you don't say will go to Valve.
Only Hipsters prefer Kotor 2. Nothing beats the first since Darth Malak was actually cool in that game.
Deus Ex Mankind Divided is currently 4.50 on Steam and I'm wondering if I should get it or not. I've only played HR back in the day and enjoyed it but I read mixed reviews for Mankind Divided. Maybe I'm better off buying the original Deus Ex for a penny, which I've never played either lol.
