" This thread disgust me, you could at least tell us what the polls about. "

Aren't they just asking what game people like more?  What's the problem?

What about the lists? Those suck worse than any poll.

Hey I love all of those games
This doesn't trouble me at all
:]

I don't understand the problem. What's the question?

Surely Resident Evil 4 is the best of those games. I'd rank them this way: 
Resident Evil 4, Shadow of the Colossus, Gears of War, and then Kingdom Hearts 2. Honestly, I thought KH2 was pretty freaking awful, and I never cared too much for the original Gears of War. I definitely wouldn't consider either to be one of the best games ever.

" This thread disgust me, you could at least tell us what the polls about. "

What are they voting on?

there are far worse things to be disgusted by. 

"People will often choose the shiny new games over the older ones...."

Also a fan of Resident Evil 4, that would probably be my second choice. The one I can't fathom is Kingdom Hearts II but apparently it has a strong following.

I'm voting SOTC right now.

50 Cent: Blood on the Sand better win!

Aaaand... that's one more vote for KH2.

Thanks for reminding me.

Who really gives a shit what other people vote to be the best game anyway? Do you really reckon anything less than 90% of the people that voted on that poll are probably under 15 and no nothing about anything anyway?



.... Plus Shadow of the Colossus is awesome btw, to the person early who claimed it wasn't..... so is pokémon lol

Kingdom Hearts. XD

"This isn't the finals though, is it? Isn't it a huge ladder tournament thing?"

"Gamesfaqs is a website for game guides. RPGs/hard games tend to attract more people to go to their site looking for answers. They see a pole and vote. "

If you are suggesting that RE4 doesn't deserve those votes than....I disagree!!! Sure, I though SotC was one of the best games I played on the PS2, but RE4 is probably my favorite game ever. Of course, these are all opinions, and, whaddyaknow!, this poll is just an opinion too. No shame in voting for whatever title is there....except Kingdom Hearts II ;)

These aren't the finalists for best game ever, if thats what you're whining about.
These are 4 games in the 2004-2006 quarter finals. Theres 16 games in each year group, heading right back to 1972. This page explains it

Oh and RE4 deserves to win that quarterfinal

Edit: Sorry, the next round is the quarterfinal. This is the 'Battlers' round

I actually have been following the poll. The favorites are ff7 and Ocarina of Time. Earthbound got knocked out in its first bracket. Lost to Super Mario World 2 and Chrono Trigger. Each round has 4 brackets. Each round goes by a certain time range (for this one its the 4th and last bracket of 2004-2006). The top two votes for each bracket go to the next. I have never played shadow of the colossus and don't fully know what it is. But I am surprised Gears is in last.

Also some of the gamefaqs listed favorites on the site page (not the official one because the official one every single vote if ff7 or ocarina of time with the exception of one for link to the past) which have been knocked out:

God of War
GTA: San Andreas
Tales of Symphonia
TES IV: Oblivion

Tales and Oblivion won

Halo 2
Metal Gear Solid 3
Okami
World of Warcraft

Mgs3 and WoW won. Surprising that Halo 2 got least.

Tomorrows Poll:
Final Fantasy XII
Half-Life 2
Phoenix Wright
Zelda: Twilight Princess

I advise most of you to go check out the poll. It is quite interesting.

Well, nice to see most of you correctly assumed my issue was with Shadow of the Colossus' poor showing and not something else entirely.

I understand polls are for people to express their opinions, I guess my love of SOTC just caused a momentary flush of internet rage when I saw that there were actually people that preferred Kingdom Hearts II over it. I beat Kingdom Hearts II, its okay but I would classify SOTC as extraordinary so there is no question in my mind which is more worthy of the title of "Best Game Ever". Really though, I just had a pretty bad day so I decided to take out some anger on strangers who never experienced SOTC or at least failed to appreciate it.

Oh, and I prefer Burgers and Fries over Fish n' Chips as well and I don't know what Team ICO's next project is but I hope the curtain is finally lifted on it at E3.

1. It doesn't completely add up to 100%, just 99.9%
2. They took our Game Logo Contest idea?
3. A few years ago they decided  Final Fantasy VII as the best game of all time?
4. Shadow of the Colossus needs 80.61% more of the vote?

Man, I really wanna know what's wrong with this poll.

Whats wrong with the poll is that Kingdom Hearts II and RE4 are beating Shadow of Colossus by a wide margin."

"Changing the point of discussion entirely, what do you think Team ICO's new project will be like?"

funny, because the latest GIANTBOMB poll disgusts me:

Poll: Fish & Chips vs. A Burger & Fries. The Ultimate Showdown!

Eh, who cares its a poll...

When did polls ever mean anything.

Chill out, and ignore silly stuff like that.
