ToMAYto, toMAHto. He referred to HF2 ep. 1-2 as HL3 interchangeably. They can put out an announcement about how Half-Life is done if they damn well pleased. Unless Gabe has a gun put to his head, he is under no obligation to release installments every X years, or even release them at all.Gralian said:
People are going to buy any old thing Valve throws out by the millions, whether it's immaculate or shit. They have plenty sources of income.
/facepalm
Just stop whining OP. I voted for Valve and now I'm voting for Bioware and they seem like they are about to be swept away but so what? It's just a insignificant popularity contest with no pretense of objectivity (if objectivity can even go anywhere near discussions about what game is better). This year it is Mojang, last year it was Zynga and year before that it was Turbine - people always throw hissy fits when their pet developer loses but it but it only serves to make them look ridiculous to an outside viewer.

You had to pay for Minecraft's Beta...And many companies don't Beta test because they have hundred man teams which simply test the game for hours on end. Alpha testing is important, and no company would release a game without any testing. The problem is the variety of systems in existence and the complexity of the programs: Catching a bug that happens every single time you do a series of common events is simple. Catching a bug which never appears in the same place twice, or comes about from an incredibly specific and ultimately improbable series of events is extremely difficult. The reason many games seem to be bug ridden nowadays is a combination of several factors: Devs trying to push out more games in shorter time-frames, much more complex coding, the sheer number of players playing the game and reporting the bugs, and the lack of players reporting a lack of bugs. Very few people are going to post in forums telling folks they never encountered a bug. It would also be impossible for a dev to hire enough folks to test their product as thoroughly as a Beta would. Betas bring their own problems, however.Enslave_All_Elves said:
Kinda digressed there, but you get the point...Not even sure why I was making that point, mostly just defending the devs I guess.
For the record, Minecraft isn't really all that original...But people enjoy it, so I'm not gonna argue with the votes.
eh, people only value what they are playing at the moment, but a little recognition of a successful indie dev kinda' is awesome. THough I of course wish my pick, Blizzard, won.
Ugh there are a lot of people not from here voting minecraft. Yeah mojang deserves a lot of respect an indie developer with only a few employees makes that large of an impact on the market. Not to mention the game apparently appeals a LOT to the old farts. Of course there are a lot of good indie developers that succeed to an extent but units sold I don't think many of them could beat mojang.
I just was surprised (and maybe a little perturbed for them heavily [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/global/tournaments/mybracket/5/DustyDrB] screwing up my bracket) because I hadn't been hearing much about Minecraft on this site for months. I'm not trying to put the game down by saying this, but Mojang was just an afterthought when I filled out my bracket. I knew the game was somewhat popular, but I didn't think it was that popular here.
Oh well. I don't really need a new laptop...

I'm tired of these threads where people get so upset that something is popular or more popular than what they like.
This just happened to me when I called Darksiders "Darksiders: Zelda Evolved" I got "You can't be serious Zelda is better" and I disagree, I personally hate Zelda. I've played most of them and I've yet to like one to play through.
But how dare I find a game more appealing than Zelda or Mario! It's an opinion.

Can we please stop with these threads Mojang getting so far doesn't mean its better and even the people that voted for it may not think its better.The march mayhem thing is just a glorified poll to show which game is most popular at this exact moment in time that doesn't mean its better than valve or Bioware please stop acting like its the end of the world.
Yes. It's better than any Mario game of the past few years.Eri said:

Mass Effect came out in 2007 and was ME2 that much better?Eri said:
2009. The sequel is considered a step down.Eri said:
So could I.Eri said:
No. They had sequels. (Except for Borderlands.)Eri said:
Minecraft is new.
I admit, I think Blizzard deserves to win, even though their biggest game they made last year was an expansion. However, they also practically own a genre to themselves. That's huge.
Given their competition, Mojang deserved to be in the top four.
I wouldn't say the best game ever, better than any other game, but what it has going for it and why it's so popular, is because of it's originality and it appeals to everyone's imagination and it's replayability is beyond any other game that comes to mind.
That is true, but Minecraft is at what I'm guessing to be the height of its popularity. Not to mention it gets a lot of updates. My point is that Mojang is winning to due the popularity of its recent game. Bioware on the other hand has not realeased anything that is as popular as it is now. For the record, I love both developers, I can just see why Mojang is winning right now.Trolldor said:
Just because the game isn't going to be abandoned doesn't mean its not a clone You cant compare games based on development stages........if that were the case then literally everything is a clone like you said, in some aspects it takes a lot from Infiniminer.....so you could consider it a clone because most things are the same......the only differences being Infiniminer being team based most of the game, and in Minecraft its hey! go do what ever you want........In all fairness the game is great, original and its really fun. But This March Madness is about the Best Delveloper.......And in that regard Valve has a great history of games and catering to there fan base. Of course this is my opinionGralian said:
