I voted for Mojang because I had them in my bracket going to the final four. Not that it matters though, since the rest of my bracket is pretty screwed.
I didn't. I'm amazed they're this far in the competition, maybe there is something with that game that hypnotizes people, I dunno. Good for Mojang I guess.
They messed up my brackets though... it's the whole Zynga-thing all over again, 'cept with Mojang! xD

They're an independent developer that had a huge success. They're a symbol for what other small developing companies could potentially become with a quality product.
Wheres the option for "I knew they would be successful and I wanted my bracket to win" option. It doesnt surprise me at all.GrizzlerBorno said:
Also, New Vegas sucks. Obsidian should be ashamed at the shear volume of bugs and glitches in that game. Pretty good reason why I voted against them.
Wow... why are people acting like Mojang is a joke or something? They seriously are the most impressive out of all of the devs. They're the biggest success story. Make a low concept game with a couple of guys and let people play it before it's actually finished. The only advertising done with Minecraft was through word of mouth. And Minecraft lets people be creative. More has been done with Minecraft than with any game that any other dev has made and every person's experience is based on their own choices. You can role play, you can build, you can gather materials... you can do more with Minecraft than with anything Epic has ever made and I'm a huge Epic fan. They definitely need to beat Obsidian, a company that seriously shouldn't have made it this far.
That, and the fact that we're probably just going to have another year where Valve is up against Bioware. *yawn*

Zynga won because they advertised their games to people who don't know the other companies and don't care about them. They had a swarm of people who couldn't tell you anything about gaming rush in and vote for them and then immediately leave. That's a completely different situation.Mistermixmaster said:
I honestly believe that Minecraft is better than anything Obsidian, Epic, and whoever the second one was made. I voted for Nintendo in round one, though.
Nintendo: Tough one, but then again I haven't played a single Nintendo game in about 13 years. Since I game exclusively on my PC, the PC developer has to get my vote.
Namco Bandai: Don't know who they are.
Epic Games: Unreal Tournament is alright for a shooter, which isn't saying a lot for me.
Obsidian: They've released one game I've liked (KotOR 2), and it wasn't finished. At least Mojang openly states the game isn't done yet.
Namco Bandai: Don't know who they are.

Right nothing changed in New Vegas at all. Except location, story quality, character depth, tone, gameplay tweaks such as iron sights, crafting tweaking and the humour that was present in the original Fallouts is back.CWestfall said:
So no changes at all right? As for the bugs, yes most of it is inexcusable as a AAA dev should have a better QA than they evidently use. However the Gamebryo engine is also far from stable so there was to be bugs expected. While I love Minecraft to say that they're the pinnacle of innovation is far from the truth.
I have loved Minecraft more than any games that the competition had put out. Nintendo bored me enough with the Wii that I owned it for two years, only bought enough games that I could count them on one hand, and then sold it. And while Epic is great, the only game of theirs I've really enjoyed was Bulletstorm. And it just had their name plastered all over it, they didn't really make it. Same deal with Obsidian, nothing of theirs is on my "Favorite games" list.
Holy beJebus, he got it in one.ultimateownage said:
Playing Minecraft in multiplayer is fun for a while, but there's literally fuck all to do once you've finished trying to set fire to your team mate.
Some of, albeit not all, of Nintendo's games are fantastic. Not just the games they've made, but those they've published and the consoles too, although i'm not sure that counts for the competition...
Mojang have made around 45% of a game, but because it's an indie developer, everyone wets their pants about it.
I voted for them against Nintendo because had both of them made a game that I knew nothing about, I'd be more likely to buy the one made by Mojang, because I didn't want to risk spending money on Mario Tennis 3000 or Wiijaculating, despite how good their other games turn out to be. Call me judgmental; if you're willing to make shitty games, you're not a good developer.
Against Epic Games, I voted for Mojang because I never really played an Epic game, so I'm in no position to vote for them.
Against Obsidian and Namco Bandai, well, I didn't vote for Mojang. The other two are just better developers and have made better games.

Also, the people going "WAAAAH MINECRAFT ISNT EVEN A FULL GAME" sounds as ridiculous as "LEGOS ARENT EVEN A FULL TOY YOU HAVE TO PUT THEM TOGETHER".
The developer consciously designed a system through which you can have fun by interacting with it in carefully constructed and outline ways. Sounds a lot like a game to me.

I voted for them for 3 reasons:
1. Because they were against Nintendo and I try to vote against Nintendo whenever given the chance.
2. Because MineCraft genuinely stands up against a lot of the other games in this year's MM.
3. Because if they win, it might encourage Perrson to get some work done on games other than MineCraft. I get that they are in development currently, but I'd like to see some early stages like we did with MC.

That poll is shit. It doesn't say anything about me thinking that they were better than the dev they went up against, just that they were the best in the competition.
OT: I voted for Mojang because I think that a popular game like Minecraft, that has been the talk of the Escapist forums many times, is so much better than a new Mario title. The game came from relatively nothing and has already cracked the millions before it has even reached official release. I think to create such a popular game deserves the recognition, especially when I prefer to play Minecraft instead of any Nintendo or Namco Bandai title.
Against Obsidian, I don't think they'll do too well and against VALVe, they will lose.

i voted for them in the first round only, and that was because they deserved it in that line up, even though i didnt like minecraft, i appreciate other people do so i voted them, but i honestly dont believe they deserve to have gone past the second round for numerous reasons...
