It's not exactly drowning in votes, though. It probably would have been if it had been rather better.

Rather more worrying is that someone nominated (and 8% have voted for) Space Hulk as digital wargame of the year. I can only assume none of them bought anything else. Which is really the problem with that sort of poll; nobody has bought everything, or even close to everything, and just tend to vote for a favorite from those they did buy.

Really, really, pleased to see Flashpoint Campaigns: Red Storm doing so well, though. Certainly my choice for digital wargame. It's just silly comparing it against my other overall favorites there, Spelunky and Call of Juarez: Gunslinger.

We collect the nominations for the readership throughout the year. Even if just 1 person nominates a game, we include it, as the whole point of the poll is that it's the Readers' choice, not ours.

If it's a total dog, then it won't garner any votes in the poll. If it rocks, it will. We have faith in the process :)

Has anyone here played The Hunters board game? Looks really cool and is clearly very popular.

Edit: Wow, after watching this I must have it. The guy calls it the Das Boot of board games. Just look at all the cool little details! And the ships you sink are from a list of ships actually sunk, and you keep a written log of your career. I love it!

Edit 2: Ordered, can't wait.

It's a fun game! If you like solitaire games, I also recommend "Navajo Wars".

But, your poll became skewed when you allowed Rome 2 to even be on the list. How can a broken and flawed game get on any goty or game of a catagory list? Clearly this is a biased choice by the forum admin. You can SAY anything you like about how it's a readers choice but everything someone says isn't always true. Another fanboy poll basically.

C'mon.

The guy explained clearly enough; if one member nominates it, it gets listed. Seems fair enough to me, and I don't see where any 'bias' comes in - quite the opposite. You get bias when someone starts deciding what should or should not be included based on their (or other people's) opinions of what is 'broken' or 'flawed'.

It's not a board I frequent, but the votes for Command and Red Storm certainly suggest the members know their wargames.

I'm with this guy.

Just another fanboi poll paid for by the big corporations like SEGA and you know who.

Should have called it the Crackheads Readers Choice poll.

It looks great. As a player who left board games long ago. This one looks
manageable. You could easily put it on a small table. Many board games designed
for 2 or more players Often times end up with both sides being played by a
single player. I still would not mind seeing this in a computer game

What the hell does it matter that Rome 2 got nominated? It's not like these are the Oscars where the nominations themselves are supposed to be filtered - if the noms are all user-submitted, then it's pretty clear that it got there because some people have terrible taste. Save your righteous outrage for when it actually wins (spoiler alert: it won't)

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?

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?

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?

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.

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.

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
