List view from least to most popular:
I reached out to the mods to do a little 12 days of gafmas countdown based on the most popular threads of 2024. Thought it would be interesting to reflect and see how the year unfolded. I'll update it each day. It is a snapshot of like an hour ago so a couple may move slightly, but in the meantime:
On the first day of Gafmas, M mortal gave to us.......the FFVII: Rebirth OT and what a follow up it was as well to Remake. Highly acclaimed and with the PC announcement also just made, it looks like there will life in this thread into 2025
On the second day of Gafmas,
R6Rider
gave to us, the Dragon's Dogma 2 OT and what a beautiful well crafted thread it was too. A game I've still got to get round to playing:
On the third day of gafmas,
Draugoth
could not have possibly known the explosion that would arise from the Hellblade II Review Thread. A divisive game where the steam charts were monitored, game length was discussed and the quantity of gameplay.
Rocking up on the fourth day of Gafmas is concord being taken offline on 6th September, also started by our resident
Draugoth
- who could have thought at the timeit would lead to such a long thread. We all thought it needed to be done but didn't know how big Sony's balls were and they moved swiftly.
On the fifth dasy of Gafmas, Kabrutus started his movement that would resonate across trhe gaming landscape and the thread was started by
GrayChild
- it's still a hot topic today and spawned many discussions on gaf the last year: https://www.neogaf.com/threads/stea...-if-sweet-baby-is-involved-in-a-game.1667887/
On the sixth day of gafmas,
Lunatic_Gamer
started the PS5 Pre-orders go live thread. The drama of the queues, the lack of 30th anniversary edition availability etc. made this a fingernail biting time for gaffers but we all got one in the end I think it's safe to say!
On the seventh day of Gafmas,
HeisenbergFX4
started to compile the popular 'List of PS5 Pro Enhanced games'. Each game listed and catalogued and discussions about various patches and their impact.
On the eighth day of Gafmas,
Draugoth
gave to us TGA OT which surprisingly delivered this year. Big reveals with Naughty Dog and CDPR both revealing their next major project sneak looks. A new Okami in production. Ueda's new project came in clutch, Fares' new co-op game looks like it will deliver another best in class for the genre and Elden Ring proved it's still not done yet!
spons
startesd the innocuous looking Phil Spencer announcemennt thread in February which exploded as Xbox announced a few changes in strategy as they went forward. Leaks, speculation, tears and blinking eyes of disbelief were all evident as we got confirmation of the first four games that would make their way from xbox exclusivity. These were Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, Pentiment and Sea of Thieves.
Coming in at number 10, was the Helldoivers II OT, made by yours truly
cormack12
- who would have thought this PvE co-op shooter would have had the legs it did? Genius greenlighting by SIE when we've seen so many similar attempts fail (Second Extinction, Back 4 Blood, Earthfall, Payday 3 etc)
Roaring into the eleventh day of gafmas and proving a contentious topic that took only a week or so to enter the largest threads territory was the reveal of Naughty Dog's Intergalactic title from our very own
Draugoth
And on the twelfth day of gafmas, the mpost popular thread of all the year goes to
jm89
who started the post about the PS5 Pro leaked specs being real and being released in 2024. With a whopping 125 pages which went from excitement and imagining marvellous new hardware to quizzical on a controversial price.
Happy Gafmas everyone!!
