League Overview:
Welcome to Year 7 of the GameTZ Fantasy Gaming League! This is basically fantasy football with games. Each person picks 10 games and those 10 games make up your "team" for the year. The OpenCritic scores for your 10 games are tallied up at the end of the year to determine your total. Highest overall score wins. You also get 2 alternate picks (these should be safe choices) just in case one of your picks gets delayed into 2025. So if you shoot for the moon with a game like Marvel's Wolverine and it gets pushed into 2025, one of your alternates takes its place and you don't end up with 0 points for that game. The goal is to pick games that you think have a very good chance of releasing in 2024. Don't YOLO your way into a bunch of 0s lol.
The Rules:
1. No DLC or Expansions
2. No Ports or Remasters (full remakes are allowed)
3. Alternate picks can only replace games delayed into 2025. They cannot be used to replace games in your top 10 that review poorly.
The Prizes:
1st Place: A $100 Amazon Gift Card
2nd Place: A $20 Amazon Gift Card
3rd Place: A $10 Amazon Gift Card

League Overview:
Welcome to Year 7 of the GameTZ Fantasy Gaming League! This is basically fantasy football with games. Each person picks 10 games and those 10 games make up your "team" for the year. The OpenCritic scores for your 10 games are tallied up at the end of the year to determine your total. Highest overall score wins. You also get 2 alternate picks (these should be safe choices) just in case one of your picks gets delayed into 2025. So if you shoot for the moon with a game like Marvel's Wolverine and it gets pushed into 2025, one of your alternates takes its place and you don't end up with 0 points for that game. The goal is to pick games that you think have a very good chance of releasing in 2024. Don't YOLO your way into a bunch of 0s lol.
The Rules:
1. No DLC or Expansions
2. No Ports or Remasters (full remakes are allowed)
3. Alternate picks can only replace games delayed into 2025. They cannot be used to replace games in your top 10 that review poorly.
The Prizes:
1st Place: A $100 Amazon Gift Card
2nd Place: A $20 Amazon Gift Card
3rd Place: A $10 Amazon Gift Card

Done and done! I left off 2 that I wasn’t sure about even coming out in 2024, those being Avowed and Vampires the Masquerade Bloodlines 2 but watch 2024 will be the year that Vampires decides to release. 😑

Thanks, I'll submit as soon as I've done my research... I did well in the beginning but I want to try to space out enough to do better this year.

@Heavyd814life
I have a couple of questions before I submit my list. Where do we stand on Luigi's Mansion 2 HD, Mario Vs. Donkey Kong and Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door? I'm seeing more places refer to them as remasters than remakes, so they wouldn't count, right? I also am leaning more towards the remaster side, I think Switch's last hurrah were TotK, Pikmin 4 and SMB Wonder and from now everything else will be something they can just make a quick buck off of until the next console. But I just want to be sure before I officially exclude them.

Yeah, Nintendo games can be tough sometimes because they are so inconsistent with the way they title their projects. The wiki pages I've checked have both Mario vs Donkey Kong and Paper Mario as remakes and Luigi's Mansion 2 HD as a remaster so I think we should just go with that

Lol just shoot me a pm if you want to make any changes. Still plenty of time to reconsider. I can send you your list and you just let me know what you want to swap in.

Looking up multiple YouTubers' "2024 games I'm looking forward to" videos, it seems like 2023 is going to be a tough act to follow. There's only a few games (announced so far) I'd be excited about. I'm going to take a few risks on my list instead of just playing it safe. I put 4 or 5 games that I'd be surprised if they appear on anyone else's list. I might end up regretting that, but oh well.

2024 seems like we'll have more varied lists this time. A lot of questionable release dates. I'm planning to join but need to do more research

I just put what I know for sure is coming out in 2024 for like 75% of my list whether they do good or not. I rather take the risk of potentially lower scores vs no scores at all if a game that doesn’t have a firm release date or window ends up not coming out next year.
