Gamefaqs poll of the day.

I frequent GameFAQs and I can tell you immediately that there's no way it's gonna beat cult favorite Plants vs. Zombies and idiot favorite The Sims 3, unfortunately.

They should've made it "Best indie game of 2009" and it would've swept the board...

Jesus the Sims. Just goes to show the type of individual who frequents that website (no offence Nano haha).

None taken. Ugh. A victory for rehashed EA shovelware, IMO, means a loss for the industry. However, it does appeal to a much, much wider demographic. But there's no excuse for that glitch-filled pile of crap that was Empire: Total War placing high, while Killing Floor, Arma 2, and Trine eacy got less than 4% each. They released it with naval battles as a key feature...with an AI that CAN'T BUILD BOATS AS YOUR OPPONENTS! At least Dawn of War II placed decently...

Their polls are not to be taken seriously, as about half the users "Vote for the worst", and the other half are hopeless fanboys of certain games (*COUGH* Finalfantasy *COUGH*) and won't vote on anything else.

The GameFAQs forums are awful in general, though. The Steam forums are bad. You have an almost un-moderated environment where people generally act like morons. People hear about that, and go to 'em because of that. The GameFAQs forums are more heavily moderated, so you'd think that they'd be less troll-filled, but they definitely aren't.

The GameFAQs forums have what may literally be the closest things to PROFESSIONAL trolls on the internet this side of Somethingawful/4chan, and they've been at it longer. We're talking users who have been on there 10-15 YEARS and learned to troll in a pretty heavily-moderated environment while getting away with it. These guys make Steam forum trolls look like chumps.
