yeah I'm pretty excited about seeing what's next---don't care about FPSs or MMORPGs or PS3 games, and kinda hope the top 15 are all Flash games. I wish I'd have voted for that flash basketball game that we were playing a month or so ago.

uncharted and mw2 that low seems hilariously challopsy in the true vein of ilx polls. the mw2 thread seems to be the most active thread on the board, so someone is playing it.
the uncharted=dragon's lair thing is really false. uncharted has extremely well employed triggered events but that's not the same thing at all. a closer modern equivalent to dragon's lair is a rock band/ddr style game.
― aarrissi-a-roni, Tuesday, 9 February 2010 20:59 (fourteen years ago) link
so glad uncharted didn't place higher.
― toastmodernist, Tuesday, 9 February 2010 21:05 (fourteen years ago) link
I'm almost exclusively a casual gamer that would rather through Frisbees at video game dogs rather than blow up aliens, but I played Uncharted 2 for a few hours the other day and it was pretty fun. I liked the sniper mode shooting parts the best, the jumping puzzles the least.
― Jeff, Tuesday, 9 February 2010 21:06 (fourteen years ago) link
Jumping puzzles are the 2nd worst thing in games ever. FPS' that involve jumping are 1st.
― toastmodernist, Tuesday, 9 February 2010 21:08 (fourteen years ago) link
Well apart from jumping in good platformers.

uncharted has extremely well employed triggered events but that's not the same thing at all.
Dragon's Lair is like an entire game of triggered events! But yes, Uncharted also has some good gunplay parts and some (incredibly easy) puzzles.
― Your body is a spiderland (polyphonic), Tuesday, 9 February 2010 21:29 (fourteen years ago) link
i guess the difference is how you are able to respond to the triggered event, which in uncharted is usually a lot more open than, say, qtes (dragon's lair being the grandaddy of qte as a 'gameplay' tool). i tend to dislike triggered events because they are usually done so badly or lazily, but uncharted really makes them stitch in seamlessly. i have been very impressed, enough so that i think this aspect of the game is a huge plus instead of a potential flaw.
― aarrissi-a-roni, Tuesday, 9 February 2010 21:34 (fourteen years ago) link
They are incredibly well-implemented in the game. Uncharted was in my top 5, for what it's worth.
― Your body is a spiderland (polyphonic), Tuesday, 9 February 2010 21:37 (fourteen years ago) link
most surprising thing about Uncharted 2 finishing so low is that it didn't get any 1st place votes.

Not really - everybody was pretty hyped for it, then it came out and there was a huge wash of disappointment about it being an RTS or some such thing. Sounds worse than the bad platforming in Psychonauts.

― antexit, Wednesday, 10 February 2010 03:02 (fourteen years ago) link
I think # of voters really made a difference here - for example, I've given up on shooters so no MW2 and no Uncharted 2 on my ballot.
― EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 10 February 2010 03:12 (fourteen years ago) link
Still, with the amount of chatter on that thread you'd think ONE person would have voted it GOTY. Even Episodes from Liberty City got a half vote! Maybe everyone suddenly soured it on it the last month? TBH that's what I thought would happen with SFIV and nobody would vote for it since it came out so long ago, but that doesn't look to be the case...
― Nhex, Wednesday, 10 February 2010 03:22 (fourteen years ago) link
Everyone still loves it! I'll bet everyone on the MW2 thread still puts in at least six hours a week. Somehow the amount people enjoy games no longer correlates to how they rate them. Imagine if this happened over on ILM! It'd be like everyone voting for the The Knife opera or whatever the eff and they secretly listen to Nickelback ten times a day.

If: If we're just going on what I spent the most time on this year I think this might just about get it. The temptation to go online for one game and just keep playing more is immense; especially when someone keeps offering you a rematch and you just know you could beat them again. The refinements from the already impressive 09 are really noticeable. The way that the ball bounces around and deflects off players feels remarkably realistic and pulling off an awesome long ball down the wing, Arshavin chip goal from a stupid angle, or cynical foul to avoid a certain equalizer, is more satisfying than ever.

If even 60% of the demo's fun quotient carries over through the rest of the game, it will unambiguously be my #1 game of 2009 (even tho I didn't even touch the demo until 2010).

i have the feeling a bunch of people warmed up to borderlands just after they voted in the poll, obv craigG upthread and i think mordy as well?

― 3:16 (jjjusten), Thursday, 11 February 2010 16:14 (fourteen years ago) link
i am working thru borderlands hells slow because i am doing it coop with a friend and we can't get on as much as we we would like. anyhow, we only recently got past the first area and the game has finally kicked in now. before i was thinking that it was a super average game that i was only playing cos of the coop but now i am loving it and thinking of starting over 1p to quell the frustration of our glacial coop progress.
