Finally, Mega Man 2 spike at 38.73% on that update. Soon, it should be hitting 40% updates deeper into the night.

It doesn't help that he's the leader of the Horde, and the majority of WoW players roll Alliance. Grom Hellscream is cooler, anyway.

Wait you guys pay attention to the plot in WoW?

There's your mistake.

Anyhow, I'm not giving up on Mega.

I really can't. I depend on him far too much.

Does Meg Man 9 mean nothing for keeping the series active!

My problem with the plot in Blizzard games is that it requires a bunch of outside reading to understand it fully. I really shouldn't have to read a book to know why Orcs and Humans want to kill each other.

This also goes for Diablo and Starcraft. You get some 3 line dialogue in the game based on a giant story in the manual.

Woah....whats with all the blizzard bashing? I've found their games to have some of the richest, most compelling stories and lore of any i've played.

Sorry Ulti, but just because you seem to want everything handed to you on a silver platter rather than actually taking the effort to, you know, read the manual, or heaven forbid, read a book, doesn't mean a games story sucks.

Sorry if that comes across as a bit harsh, but so many games nowadays have these ridiculously generic paper thin storylines. The last thing we need is people having a go at one of the few developers who actually put in some effort.

When did I say the plot was bad? I'm guilty of being lazy, but that's it. I play video games to have fun, not as an alternate English class. I love a good story when it's actually in the game, but Blizzard puts the bare minimum in their games. You have to go with alternate resources to get the full gist of things, which sucks.

I would hardly call this the bare minimum:

I won't put anything out of the question with Oregon Trail. if Mega Man was worth a damn, it's probably an easy second place.

Pac-Man's gonna probably ride this night vote to heaven, though, and then keep on going with the day vote. same as yesterday, really.

Has anyone checked out the Geolocation results for yesterday yet? It appears Punch-Out was a nothing outside of NA. It didn't win by much in the US or Canada, but lost everywhere else except for some unknown reason, Sweden where it trashed DK by 5%. Also, kudos to the UK,

I couldn't disagree more. Yes their games aren't filled with grotesquely long cut scenes exploring everything thats going on in minute detail, but theres a lot happening if your willing to pay attention and pick up on the hints and little details.

You seem to be pretty sure about what your saying, but I have no idea where it's coming from. In a long, long time of gaming I have experienced few games with more atmosphere, depth of lore, engaging plot, and genuine sense of place, than those displayed in the majority of Blizzards games.
