I don't thnk anyone should cast a vote in such a shady poll. We should only vote in polls that have an impact...

I'm sorry, i can't do that. They make completely different games and i believe neither is superior. If someone put a gun to my head i WOULD say BioWare because of originality. They translated the AD&D system perfectly into a game engine and are the true fore-runners of Western RPGs. Blizzard make extremely polished games, but i have yet to see them innovate!

Some people came a lot later to gaming than 97 or 99. So if i started playing starcraft in 2005, it won't look innovative for me, because I've only played 2005 games.

Now for someone who started gaming in 97, starcraft is really innovative and same is with diablo and warcraft series.

If you played Starcraft in 2005, and thought it wasn't innovative, then you must not have realized it was a 7 year old game.

yes, but that was my point exactly. How would some know if it was innovative in 98, 99?
Some people will hear it was innovative, will come to forums and websites like this and find out, but most people won't and will regard it as just polished, because thats what most review sites tell them, they don't mention what was unique and innovative in them.

Guys... the Escapist rigs its polls to get attention. We've been through this before. Last time we tried to mass vote on an Escapist poll, the admins there literally just removed about 1000 TL votes. We watched in dismay as the vote count changed constantly to keep a ridiculous loser 'mysteriously winning'. I don't remember the games/companies involved, but it was definitely something as stupid as Valve losing to Zynga...


edit: and if you get on their forums and point out the corruption they'll ban you.


Or maybe they were just removing some of the millions of duplicate IP votes caused by people voting 50 times each?

If that was the case it would be likely they wouldn't necessarily have to resort to bans, but can counter arguments on their forums with their reasons.

In any case, setting up the polls in the first place is a naked grab for pageviews, it wouldn't take much more for them to rig the votes in hopes of getting even more.

My point exactly, and besides, just like I don't want to say SC2 or D3 will be better than the other 'cause they'll be my two favourites for sure, I wouldn't vote for Blizzard or Bioware since they are my favourite game makers.

What says they can't both be top-notch? Starcraft, Diablo, Warcraft, WoW vs Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, Mass Effect, Dragon Age: Origins. See anything disapproving among those?
