stop a travesty from happening.

And you know, not everyone thinks SOTN is wonderful. I played it again this summer, and I would give it a 7 out of 10, 8 at most.

Yes, but you've become jaded and now hate everything.

And the fact that Gamepy was one of the sites that scored Halo Xbox the lowest (85%) and Azurik the highest(88%). I am probably trying too hard to rationalise this.

probably?

I participated in the initial survey. To me, it was nothing more than a ploy, to get more people registered in the forums. You know it's pretty sad, when the survey has Soul Caliber (DC) going against Soul Caliber 2 as the best 3-D fighter and no mention of VF4.

if you'd actually read the site you would have noted that those were the pre-qualifying polls, and the one in question was specifically to pick which entry into the "soul ____" series would be representing it in the final brackets. VF4E was part of the competition from the get-go, because it's the obvious best game in the series.

as for it having to do with forum registrations, it doesn't. it has to do with pageviews, because pages serve ads and ads make money. =P sometimes the most obvious explanation (business want to make money) is the best one!

well, and the fact that we thought it would be fun. but i think we forgot we were on the internet where fun is outlawed.

in short, everyone here is as stupid as the people on the rest of the internet, but more arrogant. =)

I don't care about the poll, but this is sig worthy.

People thought RE on GC was polygonal because the backgrounds actually looked good enough that the character models blended in with them.

Isn't it the other way around? The character models finally looked good enough to blend in with the rendered backgrounds.

diffusionx is right.

RE2 +1

Make that +10.

I just wish I could vote for Spyro.

[AstroBlue]

Arghh.. I can't decide, Alucard and Claire are both such pretty girls.

I voted Resident Evil 2. I consider it to be the best in the series, it definetly lived up to the hype after it got canned that first time, the zapping system was novel (And actually WORKED!), Hunk, Tofu and all the other extras were great...It was just a very well put together game. Also, having just played through it again a few weeks ago, I can say confidently that it has stood the test of the time.

As for SOTN? Eh, I was never impressed with it. I like my Castlevania to be more like Castlevania, not like Metroid. Platforming over leveling, whips over swords.

God, get over it, people.

It's an INTERNET POLL.

You guys act like the results are going to be incorporated into the Bible and burned upon your firstborn son's scrotum whilst the RE2 fans delight in the lamentations of your women.

What will actually happen is the results will be displayed for 2 days on the front page of a shitty website, then disappear forever.

Christ.

Isn't it the other way around? The character models finally looked good enough to blend in with the rendered backgrounds.

Considering that all the characters and items were easy to see because they were sharper and brighter with a higher resolution then the backgrounds, no. They always stood out like they were pasted on.

Also, if you remember, the first videos released of REmake which most people thought were polygonal didn't have any character models in them. They were just clips of a bunch of backgrounds, like a teaser trailer.

I like my Castlevania to be more like Castlevania, not like Metroid.

Out of curiousity, does that really have anything in the slightest to do with if it's a good game?
