Yup, GTAV is out and this thread is officially bullshit.

I dunno, look at my sig, over half my most anticipated games are doing well. The only ones out are 360 exclusive/favored, and The Last Story.

GTA is a largely over-rated franchise, but the games are good.

OP should of made a rule stating, one vote per day rather than 3 hrs...

Maybe, but I would have to rethink the strength of the votes and initial HP. That would be more fair though, but then the game would take a long time to end.

Also everyone lives in a different region, I would have to define a start time.

Would be more complicated, but fairer. Maybe in future games.

GTA is one of the biggest franchises ever. GTA games are most of the time among GOTY nominees and the biggest sellers of their release years. The trailer also got an insane amount of buzz when it came out. But that is not enough to finish above niche JRPG's on VGC. I'm sure they'll all be great, but most anticipated? 

I, for one, am anticipating them way more than GTA, I'm sure I'm not alone here

That doesn't matter. Being a great selling game doesn't mean it will be the most anticipated game for the small niche VGC comminity. GTA, like Call of Duty, and New Super Mario Bros, sell well because they have a larger audience of people who are interested.

It's a good game, but sales =/= quality, and this game only represents what the VGC community like. According to this game, they really hate Halo and Mass Effect (Why weren't you throwing a fit when Halo died?), and they love JRPG's.

Heck, so far, this list really looks like my more anticipated games, so it's doing a great job representing me.

 

....

It's also, just a game.

I wasn't because I'm not looking forward to it, obviously, and I don't have a 360. But the point is, GTA is not just sales, it's quality too, even if it wouldn't sell as much as it does. Every console 3D GTA has had an average around or above 95. GTA not being in top 15 is an absolute outrage. I'm going angry to bed!

 

And is the metascore for Halo that much lower? Halo 1 is the best rated FPS ever, and Halo 3 and Reach are still above 9/10 for metascore.

GTA is a great franchise, but being good doesn't mean it's representative of the VGC community. Mass Effect 3 will also likely get a metascore above 95/100, but it died early too.

People on VGC want to do more then just shoot hookers....they want to save the world from monster and swing a sword around being a good guy.

psshh people don't want the option to be a bad ass here, were all goodie two shoes.
