It's almost as if people are the problem.

and if you had it wouldn't have needed a tie breaker. SO basically it is ALL your fault.

That's because I didn't vote in any match-up where I hadn't played both games. Star Control 2 is one of my favorite games, but since I never played Mass Effect, I didn't feel it fair to vote.
edit: So I blame all of you that played both and thought Mass Effect was better.

Wait... if you have never played Mass Effect - how to you know for sure that it is not a better game than Star Control 2?Ralph-Wiggum wrote:Hipolito wrote:You ... didn't ... vote ... for ... Star ...

Should have followed my approach - only vote if you have played at least one of the two games or it was in a series/style you knew you liked (I've only played Civ/Civ Net - but I like them enough to know that other Civ games would beat out shooter games, racing games, most Nintendo games, etc in my book because I do not care for those kinds of games).

Yeahish. I only vote if either
1) I've played both games
or
2) I've played one of the game and thought it was excellent. I figure if I haven't played the other game, it's reasonably safe to vote for a game I know I really liked. If I played only one game and 'meh'd it then I don't have an interest in the outcome.

Because by almost all accounts, Mass Effect 2 is better than Mass Effect. And while I loved Mass Effect 2, it ain't no Star Control 2.Zenn7 wrote:

Re: Best Game of All Time Tournament - Round 1
I'm the same way. If I'm familiar enough with one of the games to know that it is of a type that doesn't really appeal to me, I have no problem voting for a game I love over it. This is, after all, a poll of opinions, not objective perfection.
I don't care for hardcore flight/vehicle sims. I have no problem saying that I prefer (for example) Deus Ex over Silent Hunter 3.

Re: Best Game of All Time Tournament - Round 1
In all honesty, I probably just saw Mass Effect on the line and didn't even read the name of the game it was up against. If I had realized it was Star Control 2, I likely would've gone against my policy and voted for it anyway.
