"All Time Greatest Video Game Hero" at Gamespot - Link vs. Gordon

[Onyx Oblivion]

All four kinda suck...of those, Samus.

 

[suhlEap]

it is looking very close indeed. i went and put in my vote for gordon so we can hope i suppose. i don't really see the big deal about mario. link's alright but you know... so yeah go gordon!

 

[KiLl_RoY]

GORDON FREEMAN!!!!!!!!

 

[The Bandit]

Gordon Goddamn Freeman must win.

(Sorry about the double post. The first post didnt manage to pop up at first and now its too late.)

It's OK. It needed to be said twice, anyway.

 

[destroyer383]

im voting for gordon never liked zelder

Also, how is it possible to have a contest between two games not even in the same general? That's like having a vote on which is better, puppies or apples...

[/quote]I think you meant genre, but yes, I see your point.

Let the record state that puppies > apples.[/quote] i disagree apples>puppies

EDIT: 2nd quote diddnt work

(Whose average age I would estimate to be about 7-8, and thus are too young to witness the awesomeness that was Half-Life)

find this comment offensive and unnecesary, please rephrase in a different way i love nintendo and would chose Samus or Link over Freeman any minute, i am 23 years old and have all the half life games

please dont make unnecesary assumptions or statements that could be considered offensive, an edit would be nice please

What this guy said. You may make your love for Half-Life known, but not through the detriment of Nintendo fans.

Oh, and Samus, Mario, and Link have been around since the '80s, just FYI.

Really? You guys are REALLY offended by that?


Wimps. I mean come on. Thats the worst insult ever!

Gordon FTW! He could shoot Link and Mario in the face, and if he can take on multiple strides and hunters at once, he can beat Samurs.

HA

 

[lord canti]

link is currently winning by 11 votes.

 

[park92]

gordon all the way!!!

 

[gigastrike]

Why is this even a competition!? How can you possibly say that a scientist, who still hasn't quite saved the earth from an alien empire, is more heroic than Link, who saves the world every other year!?

 

[Joshimodo]

Link.

Selfless, brave, well-travelled and the star of the only game series ever to have a perfect track record.

If most nintendo fanboys are aged 7-8, they haven't seen any Zelda either. Zelda Games are fucking decades older than half life. Yeah, half-life was a cool game, but let's face it, it wasn't Mr. Freeman who made it good. Infact, he didn't add anything to it at all.

Totally agree with you on that one butwouldn't that equate the same for Link? The only Zelda games I have ever played was Oracle of Ages and Link could have been replaced by a mushroom for all the good he brought to the storyline.

But Link has so many other games, he at least has a growing story with him. With all the shit that guy has been through, you don't NEED to speak. Gordon Freeman has 1 game (that just has a trillion parts) that hasn't even been finished yet by Valve. He hasn't yet earned the right to be awesome without ever talking.

It's not so much the insult than the broad generalization. Which is wrong. It's like if I said that everyone who likes any Final Fantasy game enjoys reading poorly written and extremely corny scripts.

I mean, at least for me it is. I guess I should have made that clear.

Ah, well see I can agree to that.

Generalizations are annoying.

 

[ohgodalex]

My interest in this competition died with Bub and Bob's chances. I'd pick Freeman, though.

 

[S-Unleashed]

Can someone tell me what all the fuss is over GORDON FREEMAN?
Link rules. Still wish Sonic made it to the finals F*** this Freemen guy.

 

[awsome117]

Sad that Issac from GS didn't make it, but not like it matters at all really. I'm not voting, but if I would want someone to win, it would either be mario or Link. Ah, childhood memories...

 

[Glover09]

Yes I've seen that. I bet the final battle will come down to Link and Mario. I voted for Samus myself although it was a tough choice.

Oh, FYI Link doesn't wear women's clothing. A belted tunic was standard dress for men in the middle ages.

I voted Samus and Gordon.

You know, I've noticed that the Escapist community is very quick to condemn the average users of youtube for being immature etc, but I've been observing my fellow Escapists in this thread and others and I have to say you guys aren't much better. Just putting that out there. Reflect on it.
