Hey /vr/, /v/ here.

I am posting here because there's a poll on Gamespot to determine the greatest game series of the decade and well, we really do need help.

Good games like Viewtiful Joe and Geometry Wars are up against unfair matchups. Portal and Battlefield, respectively. We all know how well the tides were turned with the sidekick poll a couple years back, but /v/ didn't do it alone, They had help from other boards, so it would be much appreciated if you could quickly register and vote for the following

SAINTS ROW
STAR CRAFT
VIEWTIFUL JOE
GUILD WARS
NEED FOR SPEED
TRIALS
GEOMETRY WARS
NEVERWINTER
COMMAND AND CONQUER
MARIO KART
DRAGON QUEST
RESISTANCE
MAX PAYNE
FIRE EMBLEM
COMPANY OF HEROES
DEAD SPACE

We also made a script, but it wont matter if only three people use it, we need everyone using it:

You can simply use 10 Minute Mail instead of your own to speed things along since you do need to register to vote.

Pic related is how we want things to go down

I voted what I felt was true, which is the same as what you are trying force save for 2 or 3 titles (I can not believe you want a generic fps to win over souls, but it is probably impossible to get DaS to win even with a script). Sage for offtopic.

>> No.1027060

>responding to bait
Anyways, what is the point of a poll if it isn't legitimate? How does any of this effect you personally? From your post, it would appear you are hell bent on giving your favorite game the winning score.

>viewtiful joe
Casual.

>> No.1027061

>>1027054
In case you don't remember, the point is to not necessarily vote for the ones you like, but for the underdogs.

The whole point of the sidekick poll was to eliminate all the obvious choices for Launchpad or Einstein to win

>> No.1027102

>>1027060
You clearly don't remember the Launchpad/Einstein incident.

>> No.1027108

What you said
>Viewtiful Joe and Geometry Wars are up against unfair matchups. Portal and Battlefield

What I read
>Viewtiful Joe and Geometry Wars are up against more popular games: Portal and Battlefield

This is a popularity poll. The only people who don't realize that are the children voting. Who gives a shit?

>> No.1027116

>>1027108
>>1027060
The point is to incite rage amongst the younger generation that the more popular ones lost to underdogs, most of /vr/ is fairly fresh but a year or so ago gamespot had another poll for "best sidekick" /v/ pretty much brought Einstein and launchpad mcquack to the finals against them, launchpad one and along the way there was lots of shock and awe value to be had

>> No.1027124

>>1027116
See, that makes sense. And if I recall, it was mostly Reddit who did that.

This sounds like like BUT BUT MY CULT HITS WHY AREN'T THEY MORE POPULAAAAR

Go away /v/.

>And if I recall, it was mostly Reddit who did that.
/v/ blamed reddit and reddit was more than willing to take the blame.

>> No.1027131

People actually liked Veiwtiful Joe? Once the gimmick wore off it was a fairly generic short beat em up.
Portal would get my vote just for it's innovation alone (plus who doesn't love glados?)

That's not the point in the slightest.

Launchpad was funny because it was so stupid and out of nowhere. This just seems like being a hipster about your favorite game.

also lol @ Wii Sports being in there, that at least would have been funny to see win though

>> No.1027196

Also, well over half of those series were engendered and well-established well before 2000. XCOM, Tomb Raider, Rayman, Splinter Cell, Fallout, Final Fantasy, Legend of Zelda, Civilization, Resident Evil, Persona, Team Fortress, Smash Bros, Fire Emblem, Street Fighter, Dragon Quest, Metal Gear Solid, and Star Craft are all older than any idiot who's concerned about this.

>implying I'm mad
That's not how it works you know.
If it's funny then it'll stay funny even if it leaves 4chan.
If it isn't then you'll get annoyed with it after the first day like pretty much every meme.

>If it's funny then it'll stay funny even if it leaves 4chan.
No, as soon as it becomes popular it becomes unfunny.

A lot of memes are great until they go outside of 4chan.

this was funny when it was launchpad

this is just idiotic

viewtiful joe is a fringe game that only some people like

and it is certainly not retro

take this to /v/ where it belongs

btw if I were going to sabotage gamefuck again it would be on a game that deserves to crush generic garbage

except there are no games like that on the roster

no one laughs at costanza, its not even considered a joke anymore
Besides, the only meme's that stay on 4chan are the racist/politically incorrect ones that no one wants to be associated with.

/v/ is either trying to troll Gamestop or they have shit taste and don't like most of those games just because they're popular. I'm willing to go with the latter.
