Strange line of thinking. And I already thought so in the previous thread where you said something similar. Why would someone have to vote for Call of Duty just because a bunch of sequels sold great? It was a great game like I said, one of my favourite fps's, but "in hindsight", Knights of the Old Republic (in my case) is better. I vote for what I think is the 'best' game, not for what its sales potential is (or turned out to be a generation later). I wonder, did you, by this logic, vote for Fifa back in 1993 then? Or will you vote for Candy Crush come 2012, that was a big catalyst in the rise of mobile ftp games after all? |
I applied this logic to every vote that I've cast. But, it isn't about sales. It's about significance to the hobby of gaming. As I mentioned in another comment, this is based on the OP's answer to me when I asked what criteria we're supposed to use for voting.
I don't think I voted for FIFA. But, I don't think it is comparable to CoD in terms of significance anyway. It may be more comparable to Candy Crush, in that regard. I'd have to see what games are going up against Candy Crush, but I don't think I would vote for it. It has been significant to the gaming industry, as it's a big seller. But, not so much to the hobby. It is more of a time killer, taking a dump, riding the bus sort of thing.
