Forums - Sales Discussion - The poll on the front page is ridiculous

It's "what will be the big game of  the holidays"

 

And currently the standings are:

32.03% Modern Warfare 2

29.42% Uncharted 2

21.05% New Super Mario Bros Wii

10.20% Halo ODST

5.38% Assasins Creed 2

1.91% Left 4 Dead 2

 

Now, if we assume by "big". we are talking about sales in the poll, which it almost certainly is, just by common sense, as well as the fact this is a sales website then..which title is vastly out of place?

 

The PS3 exclusive, of course, It's nearly #1.

This isn't surprising..go to gametrailers and see how the PS3 fanboys rate down nearly every video of a 360 game for example (while PS3 exclusive games videos maintain very high ratings). Or youtube in the comments on videogame videos,..etc etc.

 

Anyway, seriously? How can ANYBODY think Uncharted 2 will sell more than ODST??? Even worldwide?? Or even AC2 for that matter??? Or Super Mario Wii? Or Left 4 Dead?

 

The only one Uncharted 2 even has a CHANCE of beating is L4D2...

 

This is madness..

BTW if anybody thinks Uncharted 2 will beat any of those games except for L4D2 (and it may not even beat that) in sales in 2009, I'm open for bets

 

I have to say, I hate this site and it's constant blogtv bashing, but there is something too this. Let me elaborate..

Blogtv's mods have gotten worse and worse. The funny thing whenever *I* flag a show, such as when the person on cam admits they are 14 (in blogtv adult), the mod never comes.

However when a bunch of jackass 4channers flag a show as revenge for a girl not showing, or just because they dont like her, well suddenly the mod comes immediately, isnt that funny.

In a twisted way the mods are actually giving 4chan power. The 4channers and jbtvers know if they mass flag a girl, she's more than likely going to get deleted. In many ways they use this power to punish girls who ARENT doing anything wrong, who ARENT flashing. The phrase is "flag her, she didn't deliver". However again, when I flag a show, almost never does a mod come. This is unacceptable. Their has to be a better way than giving 4chan power to delete who they want, blogtv.

Basically, the blogtv mods appear to be real jackasses and mostly, just plain lazy. They usually dont investigate anything, they just block on sight. I guess it's easier to just block any girl who looks under 23, even if she isnt, so thats what they do. However, it's just laziness.

Another thing is the bullying behavior some of the moda engage in, usually they dont talk at all, but the other day I saw mod ray literally "yelling" at some girls to "put some clothes on right now!" (they were wearing bikinis, nothing worse) the instant he came in their room. First of all, he aint their fucking daddy. He should be polite. Of course, then he immediately blocked them after about a whole ten seconds of waiting for them to respond to his tantrum. I have emailed Kara Hannah before, and it's funny how she treats the shitty low paid mods on this shitty low paid website as if they are some formal boss we are supposed to pay great respect to. I feel like telling her, really lady, it aint that serious. Blogtv mods are nobodys daddy. They have their powers to block and ban, which they use liberally, and we have our powers to come back to the site in multiple ways. That's about it. They're not kings or something, and this is not our job.

Another thing, is how the mods are often vindictive towards flaggers. I've seen them do things such as say "next person who flags this room gets banned!" and such. Really, I'm often scared of flagging, as often as theyve muted me. I have no doubt they WILL mute if they just dont like your flagging or are being lazy.

All that griping aside, I understand, the BTV mods dont make SHIT moneywise, and they cant be expected to be quality because of that, really. These are people basically making minimum wage, of course they dont care about their job. Still, it really doesnt seem that hard to me to behave fairly and have some fucking common sense, which most BTV mods do not.

Alsom blogtv junior IS pretty damn creepy, and when I've been there, it ISNT moderated well at all. You'd think they would want extra moderation there, it actually seems to be LESS.

I really think blogtv junior was a bad idea, it just segments the kids into a place where it's easier for pedos to find them.

It might be a good idea if, as would be common sense, it was MORE heavily moderated, but it isn't. It's less if anything. As things stand now, I think it would be better to have the kids back with everybody else. At least then it's out in the open.


Now lets talk about Tabitha, the owner of this website..if this dumb bitch cares about pedophiles, she wouldn't have spent countless posts praising the biggest pedo of them all, Michael Jackson. Also, she would concentrate on stickam, where it's pvt room feature allows shit that would never DREAM of happening on Blogtv to go on every day. I've told her many times, Blogtv is NOTHING compared to stickam. Not too mention, the minimum age on stickam is 14 (I think). It's   13 I think on youtube. The point is, blogtv is hardly alone.

Great.

We just had this same thread yesterday. "BIG" doesn't mean sales for everyone. Some are going by what they feel is their biggest game this year.

Deal with it and move on. This "Sony games can't be BIG" crap is stupid.

Do I feel MW2 is the biggest game this holiday season? No. For me it is Ratchet and Clank but you don't see me whining about it not being there now do you?




iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

For me, "Big" doesn't mean "Best sales".

Each person has its own concept of "Big", Lol.



When has big ever meant best? and this is a sales site.



Why would VGChartz want to confuse us? If it was about sales, they would just have wrote "What game will sell better?"



Around the Network

Big = Assassin's Creed 2

Wouldnt the game that has very high sales be talked about the most?

anyway we'll never know for sure what the poll means unless the person who made it tells us.

Why would VGChartz want to confuse us?  If it was quality why wouldn't they have just wrote, "What game will sell better?"

see what I did there?

What does quality have to do with sales?



I mean to say which game will be the best. but I concede defeat.
