"What was the Digital Turn-Based Strategy Game of the Year?"

TW:R2 is currently winning [:D]

See what I mean by skewed. Only a fanboy would grin like that because it's winning. Skewed poll. Makes no nevermind people will see Metacritic a lot more than that skewed poll. Who's winning that user poll of 3.9 there? [:D]

Until they can find and make a way a user can only cast one vote all polls online are skewed. Even Metacritics because I'm sure some deranged yoyo (not mentioning any names) would make up several email addresses and vote 100 times on the same game just to get it to win some insignificant poll. Last thing I believe in is honesty on the internet.....yeah AOL is full of honest people isn't it? [:D]

I read that as he was taking the piss.

The game is turn based as well as real time.

I enjoy it from time to time (though I have been too busy to fire it up for some time due to the holidays). It was pretty broke when it came out - from what I gather it's not in a bad state at the moment.

Weather it should be winning in any poll isn't really up to me - but I personally wouldn't vote for it in that category

So I was just laughing at it taking first place. I had to google your brit expression, "taking the piss", and I am still not quite sure what it means. When I think of TW:R2, turn based strategy isn't one of the things I would categorize it as. Not only that, and as you mention, it was pretty bad at release.

Now as to aaatoysandmore response, I find it funny that he brought metacritic into it like it was some form of proof of it being a bad game. So while he ranting or whatever that response was, he makes an idiotic move of using metacritic user reviews to "prove" his point about skewing polls, when metacritic user reviews is essentially nothing but that for big titles.

By taking the piss I did mean laughing at the fact it was number 1 on that particular category.

If you had bothered to read the rest of my post you would have seen I said just that. All online polls are skewed because one vote is just not the norm because anyone can make a 100 logins or emails and skew them. So who's the Idiot now? [:D] Just reading various forums not just metacritic is proof enough of it being a bad game. Which brings me back to a skewed and fanboy polls that would even allow Rome 2 to be on it.

TW:R2 is currently winning [:D]

Yep. And by the looks of the flies that this pile of sh!t thread is attracting from elsewhere, SEGA is either stuffing the Grogheadomites pockets with money or (more likely) with bath salts.

This thread stinks.

1) If you guys above are looking for The Hunters, it's recently back in stock at CoolStuffInc, at a really good price. Or you can do like me and order directly from GMT Games website. They have a LOT of other cool looking table top wargames, and a cool kickstarter type system called P500, check it out.

2) This Rome 2 discussion highlights one of my favorite things about wargaming forums, the difficulty in telling who is being sarcastic and who is actually insane.

Someone has a sock puppet.

[JudgeDredd]

You noticed [;)]

Rome II isn't really that bad a game. I'm not sure of the category it's in and winning, but I guess, as bayonetbrant said, if it's been nominated by one person and they nominated it in that category, then there it be.

I'm not convinced though - I mean it is turn based and rts combined but the turn based part is, well, very limited...not really the true meaning of turn based imo
