Michael

I am gau

Kyle LeClair

Uh, Jade Empire isn't in the poll, there are only five entries...

YellaChicken

"we've chosen these 6 titles" Is the sixth one a secret? There's only 5 here.

Ryallen

Deep Rock Galactic is missing Not that I care, I voted Dangly Grandpa. But it's still probably worth a fix for fairness sake

Second Wind

Sorry, sorry! Poll was being weird, it's fixed now.

KadeGreene

Voting for Danganronpa because my boyfriend needs a win

Haxton Temeraire

Yeehaw for sailing on the seven seas with too many minigames that it'll put Mario Party to shame. 🤠

Will Beason

Hot dang I never thought we'd get to see Yahtzee play Factorio! Utterly out of what he normally seems to like, but one of the best

Kjata1013

These are all good choices. Except Elden Ring. Give the guy a break.

Chris S

Pirates! SO amazing. What a game. If you love it, vote for it. If you've never heard of it vote for it because a Yahz review will be a thing of beauty

ZhoRa13

I wonder... why Factorio? What would Yahtzee say about that game? He can't even complain about the narrative

Destapler

The factory must grow...

Trailminer

Deep Rock Galactic would be wild, ROCK AND STONE!

endlessmatt

Should add Star Wars Battlefront II to lean into the Andor hype.

Skyfall05

I would like pirates to win but i want weebs to lose more

Ryan Chisholm

Voted for Danganronpa, going off the idea that if it doesn't win *again*, it should be written off as a bad job, and Yahtzee should brave the "Reads The Lore" Gauntlet with the franchise instead!

Evan

Why not all of them

Tim Wilson

See if you didn’t want the weebs to win you should’ve put multiple weeb options and split the vote.

BiscuitsAndBBQ

ROCK AND STONE AND THE FACTORY MUST GROW....wait...

Fas

Danganronp, this will be the year!

Lord Huggington

Aw man, I haven't thought about Pirates in forever!

Tommy Salty

I'm sure our beloved sickos are pushing Daganrampa ;)

Patrick Likins

I don’t want Sid Meier’s Pirates to win, I want Daganronpa to lose

Dr.Medic

The Factory Must Grow!

Anders

Man I don't care about any of those games.

Charlie K

Factorio has one of the best organic gameplay loops in existence

John Aldrich

I know it's a pointless exercise, but I want the weebs to keep losing. Of the remaining options, only Sid Meier's Pirates holds even the slightest bit of interest for me despite the fact that I never played it, so there you go.

KirbySS44

First time pledging just to give Danganronpa the vote. We need Danganronpa to win.

Lux

I really just don't wanna see DanganRompa winning so let's see whos got the lead. Cool that one.

Bookworm776

I just think pirates are cool :P

LunarEagle1996

Factorio would drive Yahtzee mad. That's enough of a reason on its own.

Ford Prefect

Really want him to play TTH, even though in all likelihood he will maybe be able to get to the first trial in the time he has

Looming Dementia

Well, I guess I AM a fairly malleable bunch. And I seem to have Dissociative Personality Disorder. I just upgraded to the $5 tier. Admittedly, I had been planning on doing it anyway, but Yahtzee's nudge made me get off my ass and pull up the app. Actually, I sat down on my ass and pulled up the app.

threemondaysfromnow

the danganronpa haters arent thinking bigbrained enough i want yahtzee to suffer through danganronpa and watch the fireworks explode

Mako Grey

Joined just to vote for Danganronpa. A series I played and watched the anime over the summer. I want to see him talk about it

Steve

Yahtz should also wear a themed costume 👀

Mako Grey

Same played every game back to back. Felt like my mind exploded. Yet I have done that with other series like Kingdom hearts

Magikarp

Everyone else sheepily going on here after being called a Malleable Bunch and thinking "yeh. Yeh that's me", or just me?

Cameron Gore

Nice selection. It was hard to choose one!

Lucanid Landman

I voted for Pirates!, but I would be happy with that, Deep Rock Galactic, or Jade Empire. I'm surprised more people didn't vote for Nightreign.

WaltuhWide

Pirates is the game that Black Flag wishes it could be and it deserves the attention

Kale Perrien

Jade Empire was one of my favorite pre-shit BioWare titles, but no way is that gonna win, so weeb it is.

Kevin Wolfe

Sid Meier's Pirates! I also like Jade Empire but of the two I think Yahtzee will enjoy (hate less) Pirates!

Aaron Samuels

Not a weeb, but a lover of weird af games and media. I have no idea what the fuck Danganronpa is but it looks interesting.

Fenlig

I would love to see Yahtzee fine a new genre to appreciate with Factorio

Shilton Lineker

Sid Meier's Pirates does literally every aspect of a pirate's life better than Skull & Bones and other than graphics is at minimum competitive on the gameplay front with Black Flag and Sea of Thieves. I also have an accurate map of the Caribbean burned into my brain from playing it so much.

Swaggy

Pirates! is still good! It’s got some foibles from the era, but it’s still easy enough to pick up and play twenty-one years later!

Bpendragon

After not voting Danganronpa the last couple years I gotten do it this time. If Holo can finally win /r/anime best girl then Danganronpa can surely win Drought game.

Hyomoto

I'm not usually a brand chaser, I don't get paid for convincing other people the stuff I like is good, but hell, I'll vote for Factorio. I doubt it will win but there is a certain silly appeal to the prospect of yahtzee playing a game with no plot.

JDINCINERATOR

Sid Meier's Pirates is going to make Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc second best again!? Only Yahtzee can break this curse if we don't!

Beanpole

Considering that Pirates! was the first video game I actually owned, it holds a special place in my heart. I should try playing it again

David Doornbos

I was not expecting the spread of votes as of 830pm utc

Arvind Kuruvilla

the danganronpa haters on here lack vision. yahtzee would probably hate danganronpa and his suffering would be exquisite for us

Inverse Skies

Still not a single vote for Elden ring as I write this, how odd.

One Stop Co-Op Shop

I would have voted for Pirates! If it was the Sega Genesis "Gold" port of the original game. I played the heck out of that one :)

Alex Adams

So happy to see my pick in the lead. Sid Meijers pirates is a game I’ve never played for long but still constantly go back to and start new saves on.

Ubersupersloth

It’s looking like Danganronpa will be second place once again.

B5Alpha

Forever the victim, never the blackened

The Shadow Novus

I know its not going to win but I'm happy to see Jade Empire on there at all. Such an underrated gem that I desperately wish would get a remake/remaster.

Joshroom

Aw man, would have loved a Jade Empire review, but, after voting, looks like its trailing the pack. Poor Danganrompa though, possibly 2nd again!

Robert Bevill

I feel like The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy would be a better spot than Danganronpa (also it just released this year). I also feel like Higurashi When They Cry would have been good, since its writer is working on Silent Hill F.

Kjata1013

I’ve certainly been called worse.

FjordExplorer

The biggest argument for voting Danganronpa is that a.) it'll likely return next year once again if it doesn't win b.) ergo, you're not going to stop hearing about it until it does win. Free yourselves from the purgatory. Vote Danganronpa.

rhekke

ROCK AND STONE!!!

Phartsandwich

I'd really love to hear Yahtzee's take on Factorio, a game that sits perfectly in the bullseye of "things that are totally my thing". Failing that, Pirates!

Ollie Moore

Keep an eye on those weebs pushing Danganronpa !! HOLD FAST

Freekskill

I picked Pirates. Good ol’ summertime Pirates

Jordan Brown

Voted for Factorio because I hope it'll appeal to him after his love of Minecraft.

Emily Webb

Just curious: 1) Does Patreon allow a ranked-choice vote? And, if so 2) Would the outcome be different than that of this first-past-the-post? I'd be curious to know what the aggregate consensus is/was.

Howdy_McGee

Factorio - but I'm putting my super Patreon vote toward Faith: The Unholy Trinity.

James Verner

How long must you prevent yatzze from the CRINGE of DR? its a Landmark title

James Verner

i bought the vote tier subscription level JUST to get DR. it better win

Morgen T Barker

Words cannot describe how much I want Danganronpa to win.

Slade B. Kenney

I don't have a single horse in this race, I'm just here to test Yahtzee's love of seafaring and piracy.

Angelnickl

I honestly don't really have any of these I need yhatzee to play, so Pirates it is. By process of elimination it was that Dangonboopers or Jade Umpire. He didn't express much interest in the others and Bumperonpa has been like a grim reaper sitting behind him for years.

Angelnickl

Faith would have been my vote if I saw it. Maybe next year.

Robert Freeman

How do I vote for: stop talking about Nick in your videos?

hairyson94

I just think it'd be funny if Danganronpa lost again

Skjoldrhorsa

Pirates ftw. In fact, I'm going to see if I can dig out my own copy to play this weekend

Brokastel

I need Danganronpa to win so we can clear up the weeb slot to put Yahtzee on Caligula 2 next year (delusional)

Shua

Honestly want Danganronpa to win but Sid Meier's Pirates would probably make for an interesting review as well so I'm not mad at it.

Sammich

Honestly curious if he'll love Pirates! as much as I did when it came out.

KingDead42

I'm voting Sid Meier's Pirates! just so we can get a whole video of Yahtzee just shouting "PIRATES!" every time it comes up.

melchar

Jade Empire IMO is the best game of the 6 - & the best-looking game of the 6, with the exception of Elden Ring Nightrein. Sadly, ERN has the flaw of being, well, Elden Ring.

LackOfLifestyle

Pirates! will definitely be a fun review but I voted for Factorio not because I think Yahtzee will absolutely love it, most likely not, but because I both want to hear his opinions on it and give the game more exposure via FR. Maybe Yahtzee will have a revelation, like he did with the Souls games, maybe he won't, either way it would be fun(ny)

Rq52

Danganronpa is a game that you can finish the first 2 and then drop it and get on with your silly life.

Radical Dog

I thought I was a Yahtzee fan, but I have voted for his suffering. Danganronpa.

Jordan Smart

Pirates! I whittled away many an hour playing pirates when I was still in school

SteelCladGamer

Yarrr! Sail the high seas on the good ship Yahtzee.

rani24

I see you are a man of culture as well

Ed Brzychcy

As classic as Sid Meier's Pirates is, Yahtzee, I totally want to hear your take on Factorio.

StephieF

If Danganronpa doesn't win, that'd be an excellent one to make Yahtzee read the lore from someday.

OperatorError

It's almost impressive how Danganronpa manages to make me hate almost every character. Besides Sakura, she rules.

Second Wind

And the winner is - SID MEIER'S PIRATES!

Jason Ferro

The lack of rock and stone support is saddening

Xander

Id love to see him do a retro review of I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream

J. W. Benjamin

I'm just waiting for his opening line now: "Did you assholes *know* this game is nothing but quick time events when you voted for it?"

TV4Fun

As much as I'd love to hear your opinion on Factorio, I know you wouldn't be able to properly appreciate it in the time you could give it for a game review. Obviously the only real choice is Pirates!

Marc Luu

Please be Danganronpa.
