As the title says, and I'll explain:
We've had two different votings in the past, with two different systems. The first one was the Top 70 PC RPGs. Users had a limited amount of points to distribute among different games they thought to be the best RPGs of all time. The second voting was the Age of Incline: 2012-2016 GOTY. Instead of distributing points, almost every popular RPG of the past four years was voted using a 1 to 5 point system. You would assign scores to every game you had played (and even those you hadn't played, just to troll), leading to a very nice representation of the Codex opinion on those games, or at least, as accurate as it realistically gets.
So I wondered: given that the latter voting uses a more appropiate system, as opposed to "list RPGs you think are great, while other people list different games just not to clutter the voting with the same games over and over again", what would happen if we were to poll the following games, using the Age of Incline system (rate each game you have played 1 to 5)?
(Dark Souls and Heroine's Quest are present in both the Top 70 and the 2012-2016 poll)
Overall, I'm very interested in what would happen if everyone would voice their opinion without having to adhere to a pesky voting system of point distribution. Considering this makes 95 games in total, if I'm not mistaken, it's already less of a pain in the ass when compared to the 190+ games polled in the 2012-2016 voting. So yeah. There's a lot of untapped potential here.
