Forums - Gaming - Amazon's Poll is Invalid and Bogus

Yeah, more people played it. Skyrim is pretty great though I don't get all the hate it gets.

No but he's saying it's just a popularity contest. If game x was played by only 100,000 people but every one of them consider it by far the greatest game of all time, it still wouldn't win.

I think it's kinda normal for a popular game to win game of the generation

So people liking a game that is on multiple platforms is wrong? I agree.

You're looking at it from the wrong perspective. Because it is a popularity contest, it's meaningless, so it's nothing to be concerned about either way.

In my opinion Amazon's poll for the game of the generation is not valid and it is completely bogus because Skyrim is a multiplat game, more people have played it so more people can vote for it, in comparison to exclusive games.

What do you guys think?


I agree. Let's ask ND to make The Last of Us multiplat so that the game can win this Poll.


I rather Skyrim win than that happen.



 

Playstation = The Beast from the East

Sony + Nintendo = WIN! PS3 + PSV + PS4 + Wii U + 3DS

It was called much too soon. TLoU didn't even sink in well yet. There will be other polls later, so no need to fret.

That list had one Wii game and no handheld games.

No kidding it;s a popularity contest, it's a poll on opinions. Are you saying if 100% of 100,000 gamers love TLOU it should over rule 90% of 1,000,000?

It's not my kind of game, I wouldn't vote for it. PS3 gamers have a right to despise the game, so many bigs it made it almost unplayable. I hear most of it is ironed out but still buggy as hell. x360 had issues with it as well but nothing like ps3 players had.

Yeah I agree. It actually broke my launch PS3. I'm playing it on PC now though and it's pretty great.
