Don't even need to look at mine. Only had 5 games counted and two of them weren't going to get too many votes. So the people with Deus Ex, Witcher 2, and Bulletstorm are my buddies.

Edit: Kind of funny to see how few of the people with similar votes included UMvC3 at all. My list was mostly platforming games and RPGs, so that's where most of my similarities probably come from.

Yeah, that's why I want to implement an alternative weighting scheme that places a higher importance on games that are rarely mentioned. Otherwise titles that "everyone" has on their lists can dominate the selection.

Not surprised the similarity score was higher for me. Other than Terraria and Shogun 2 I picked pretty common games (not my fault they're great!)

Fantastic work y'all!

What a fabolous list of this years greatest games, a few upsets here and there (MK 7 ... ) but overall completely spot on IMHO.
 

Dark Schala

Eloquent Princess
Regular Edition

Unsurprised with some of the similarity results here. :D

Hipster Nerd Edition:
Fantastic.

I'm not in anyone else's top 10 most similar, hahaha.

I made one guy's list! I guess it's because I only voted for 5 games, because with 3 of my 5 games being in the top 5 overall, you'd figure I would have a better "score".

I like Durante's idea to weigh games higher the less overall votes they receive.

Well..

The winner of the "most attuned poster of 2011" award is Refreshment.01 with a similarity score of 75529.

The winner of the "most eclectic taste of 2011" award is GhaleonQ with a total similarity score of 1018.

So I guess your adjustment to the hivemind is above average. Whether that's good or not is for you to decide :p

I see myself having the best taste ever, so others are simply conforming to a superior opinion. :p

How did I manage to completely miss the voting thread for 2011, lol.

I agree with the top 10 list in general, nothing I wouldn't have had besides like 1 I didn't play.
Awesome to see Deus Ex so well received, god I hope they sort out a sequel.

Same. My list is closest to Zzoram's, but even with him I only share three titles. Never consider my taste to be as unique as, for instance, GhaleonQ's, but I guess it is somewhat outside the GAF norm.

I don't know who any of these folks are, but by God they've got good taste.

Edit - Tell a lie, according to their avatars I do recognise a good 3/4.

Good job tabulating all this. Portal 2 was Valve's best game since Half-Life 2. Totally deserving of the top spot. And a much better winner than last year.

Deus Ex's placement just makes me even more annoyed at having my progress halted by a bug. Awesome game until I got stuck on the helipad in Montreal. Would have been in my top three if not for that.

I don't recognize any of these [fine] folks.

EDIT: Hmm, even the guy who is first on my list has 4 games that are different than my choices.

Hey, I've been here like a million years. Consider your taste classy :)

I proudly present the user affinity list - hipster nerd edition.

Basically, when aggregating it weighs games with the inverse of the square root of the number of mentions the game received. This results in weights like 0.035 for Portal 2, 0.13 for Dead Island and 0.5 for Hyperdimension Neptunia. (I just love making shit up like this)

Personally I find the results of this version more useful, but YMMV.

Agreed, though I had to laugh at what I knew would happen when you did it this way:
