Vyrastas Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 If you hadn't noticed yet, today is the site's 6th birthday (yay). So far we've posted our Fifth Annual Trophy Awards as well as the first of our Staff Custom Lists which can be found here. Now we have one more thing to announce... going forward for each game the staff will post Time to Plat / 100% Polls along with the normal Difficulty Polls that we do. Many people have suggested these over the years, but we've always demurred for one reason or another. However, we know many people have found the info in the polls useful, especially for things like THL, and we don't have an excuse not to do them anymore. I would like to point out that this would not have happened without the persistence of one user, sweett310, who first started making the polls over a year ago and never gave up on them, frequently asking us about them and getting us to sticky them. He has posted over 200 such polls (here are a few examples) going back to Feb 2013, but now his watch is over. So please give him a round of applause. We will start posting current games this week, and will post them in some older games as we have time (all PS4 & Vita, select PS3 games). The format will be the same as sweett310's, with the same poll options, etc etc. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fletchar2 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Awesome sauce, glad these are becoming official. I think sweett310 has done fantastic with these; they have been suggested many times but he had the persistence and determination to see the idea through. Top work mate!

technole Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Yep, these polls have had several proving runs with success. Considering it is the community that help make these guides and sections the way they are, the change is a no-brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth_Krid Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 sweett, you are awesome! Look forward to seeing these implemented, they're very handy and time to is arguably much harder to gauge by the guide writer than difficulty is, so they will help a lot in that regard.

solstice Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Somehow missed the posting of the Fifth Annual Trophy Awards, I'm gonna read them now. But on topic, I'm glad to see polls being "officialized". I always see sweett making them for tons of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 It's nice to see these made official as it will give people another info source to consult before buying anything . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweett310 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Thanks for the kind words folks, they were a labor of love that I'm happy to see become the standard. It was you the community that kept me persistent though. If not for the constant "We need this!" messages I would get, don't know if I could have kept them going. Know the staff will take good care of them and looking forward to voting going forward! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikebone Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 This is going to be a great addition to the site. I always find myself looking at the estimated time to platinum when I read trophy guides, so a poll to better calculate this time will be very helpful. Great job sweett!
