Now that I think about it, they probably insulted Starcraft so that angry people would post their dumb list on forums and spread it for them. Any "top n" list that requires you to manually click through every page to reach the end is just trying to generate ad revenue. It probably took them an hour tops to write the whole thing and it will net them a lot of traffic. Starcraft being better than CoH is EXTREMELY debatable. Personally, while SC is more of "my cup of tea" I'd readily embrace CoH as the better game overall. And fuck yeah Dota 2 smacks LoL, TL community knows where it's at!  | ||

Why are there actually people who vote for THPS 3? That game was so bad compared to 1+2. | ||

If Deus Ex doesn't make the final then I will know for sure that the collective opinion of TL is not to be trusted when it comes to video games. Oh god...more vomit reactions available to me: the fact that TL has chosen STALKER over Resident Evil 4...that's galling. And the fact that obviously the majority of people who voted in CoD haven't actually played CoD 2. Which is about 100 x better than every other CoD and should be an obvious choice for the best in the series. Instead of a contest to find out TL's favourite video game, this is more a test or a case study to find out how many good games TL netizens have actually played, or maybe even the average voting age. For example if Dota 2 or WoW win the contest, we can assume the average TL voter has not played many of the video games on the list. It kind of highlights the problem with the statement 'all opinions are equal'. That is only the case if everyone is equally informed. Unfortunately on most matters of opinion this is not the case.

This is a classic example. If Diablo wins it will just be evidence of how few people have played the clearly superior game, BG2. | ||

My thoughst on votes so far: + Show Spoiler + pokemon red and blue vs final fantasy 7 This collision of games feels most weird of all to me, can't wait to see who is gonna take it^^. arcanum,virtua fighter,Quake 3 Sad to see 3 of my favourits go so early. I have to admit I didn't know the games arcanum and vf were up against, so I should probably go check them out! As for people voting UT over Quake 3: stfu noobs. Even though it hurts to see them go I can accept that. Freelancer over Privatee This is bullshit. Not that Freelancer is a bad game, no, not at all. But I feel ashamed to be part of a community as tasteless as ours. How can a soulless remake win over one of the most atmospheric, deep and rich games there ever was? HOW? THPS 3 over Skate 3? Are you kidding me? DO NOT GET me wrong. I grew up with THPS. THPS 2 is the reason I started skating. I played through THPS 3 so often that I unlocked EVERY extra character without cheatcodes (thats about 1 million times). Now I do realise that most of you arn't consoleros, but fuck you. One minute spent with any game of the skate frenchise and you just have to realise it is the best capturing of a real life sport over to a virtual reality ever. Ever! Skyrim over Vampire the Masqerade I just was really mad when I saw this, now I realise it ain't bloodlines. Why isn`t Bloodlines in the votes? Bloodlines would kick skyrim's ass anyday. Go, play it, get it, install the most recent patch. Yes this game is still patched by a die hard fan community. Bloodlines is the Twilight of Computergames for vampire freaks, if Twilight would be good and read by men instead of teenage girls too dumb for the hunger games. Real-time-strategy I haven't played Evil Genius, so Dungeon Keeper 2 over that I agree on. But other than that, there is not a single round one vote I agree on. LoLs. Maybe my taste is to weird. Maybe there are people who actually enjoy collosi and chainfungals and deathballs and swarmhosts after all. You guys are weird. So weird. wth. srsly. Stealth This whole bracket, I could agree on, yay! AWESOME FINALES, great games overall.  Vampires the Masquerade 2: Bloodlines was posted by me and at least one other in the original thread, quite early, even, but it must have been overlooked, or so...don't know...and yes, that was one of the games, I was talking about.  | ||

They were released pretty close to one another, like within 2 years. edit: I'm completely stupid and neglected to realize people may have jumped into the series midway through, which was completely stupid to overlook as I myself have done that with several series re: Pokemon vs FF7: Maybe this community favours competitive games and Pokemon has more of a competitive aspect | ||

I even remember that MGS3 gave me a huge advantage during a history test about the cold war MGS has done so much less for gaming than Deus Ex and is a game with less dimensions. It's really good but if it beats Deus Ex it will be a travesty. Deus Ex is simply a better game that offers more. | ||
