This is 2008 IGN readers favourite games ever

FF isn't as strong on that site as here....i don't have any user lists from Gamespot but they favour Western games a lot more. Undoubtedly OoT would be the no.1 game on both sites though.

Gamers love to say this, but they're lying to themselves or in serious denial.


Don't misunderstand, I would LIKE my hobby to be more widely accepted as "normal" or what have you. But that doesn't mean that I'm going to change who I am, or go out of my way to convince people who are close-minded enough that they need convincing in the first place.


Good luck finding an attractive girl who thinks this way.

No seriously, good luck. You'll need a crapton of it.

I'm going to say under 29% since it seems a lot of people with brackets are really underestimating Japanese games or just don't realize how big they are here. I'm going to guess 17% for this match.

*Shrugs* Whatever Ulti. I would prefer to stay single than date somebody who I had to hide my gaming from just to be accepted. I feel sorry for you closet gamers that feel the need to hide your hobbies to avoid the horrible "shunning" of the public.

ITT people complaining that games that they like don't perform as well as they want them to.

GameFAQs isn't that different from other sites if you ignore jrpgs/PC games. Pokemon/Smash Bros. probably aren't as strong either.

I'd take Bioshock to beat MW2 pretty easily (like 56-44), but the fact that KH is tripling MW2 is way more impressive than what KH2 last night.

Bioshock would definitely take that match. It depends on whether you think it would take it 60-40 though, since that's about what it would need for KH2=KH1

Which... I don't think is THAT far fetched, really

This match is a good indicator of what I feel Bioshock vs. Modern Warfare 2 would look like, to be perfectly honest.

Although, here's an honest survey: Kingdom Hearts I or II? Which one does the mass audience tend to prefer? I liked One more, mainly because II's story got so screwy towards the end.

As someone who gets with a lot of gamer girls (Because that's the only kind of girls I'll hook up with), I can say there are lots out there and are more than willing to support your hobbies. Just gotta be looking in the right places.

Saying that being a gamer won't get you a GF is ridiculous. I've met 3 through DDR alone and you'd be shocked at the amount of women playing WoW.

I... honestly don't know.

I'm sure the board has been polled on which they liked more at some point, do we know the results? I have a feeling the board prefers KH1, but I'm not sure if that reflects the general population.

Personally, I prefer KH2 by a wide margin, but I have no idea if that's a majority or minority opinion, or by how much.

695924 | Posted 11/28/2010 12:07:28 PM | message detail
I like 2 for the smoother gameplay and no crappy underwater/flying mechanics that the first one had. But most people coming here to vote are the nostalgic kind, so 1 wins.

I'm not sure what's worse.

People who would lie about their hobbies(and in general, themselves) out of shame

Or people who shun others for simply having a legitimate interest

The attitude is absolutely vile. This goes for anything by the way, not just games. There should not be any kind of societal bias against something like that. Especially with such immature, incorrect reasoning as "trolololo all attractive women hate games".

So anyway. That contest.

2009 sucks it up again!

Most of the KH fans I know like both games evenly. It seems pretty split up on B8 though. I'm not sure if KH1 or KH2 is liked more here. I know a fair amount of people on this board hate the series in general too. I like KH2 more myself.

Nah, Soap is never even seen in MW1, and is only in a couple cutscenes of MW2, and MW is a multiplayer series first and foremost anyway. Big Daddy is the icon of the Bioshock series. He has a lot more reason to be strong than Soap did.

So you have proof the prototypical "girl everyone wants" will pick a GameFAQs type of gamer over other types of men? I have said nothing incorrect or out of line here. Of course gamers on these forums will deny this, but you all know I'm right.

I'm not sure whether to dread or anticipate this match. I'm going with San Andreas in both brackets right now, but one could make a great argument for either game - this is a true toss-up.

Or go to LL, or hell just check B8/PotD/CE/etc's first page every now and then. Legions of people who don't get why the girl they're in love with lets a revolving door of *******s into her life. The problem is fairly obvious, but people choose to deny it exists instead of fix it.

Which is awesome for guys like me and realo and Shoto, I suppose.

This is blatantly wrong on so many levels that I couldn't even decide where to begin. So, instead of just debating this with you, knowing that you're just going to make up ridiculous reasons why you're right in your own mind and spew them in the hopes that you'll "win," I'll just smile and nod and say this:

Many a defeated user have said this to make themselves feel better, yeah. Doesn't change the fact I'm right, buddy. You can deny my success with women all you want if it'll make you feel better, but the fact remains I have success with women and you don't because you'd rather adhere to some ridiculous standard of self-worth on the internet. Congrats, I guess?

Which is fine, I'm not bashing you for it, but don't go around pretending it'll help you. As a note, everyone who says that comic is wrong is the guy on the left. I've yet to see a single exception.
