The kickstarter big Three and a half poll

[hiver]

Presuming everyone had their fill of the big three kickstarters, it may be time to poll them against each other by their main features.

You have 12 votes to assign or responses to click on, so dont go voting for the titles themselves because that will be a vote less for features. I had to set the poll like it is because there are no other options i can see.

Vote only for the main features as listed, not in relative sense but as choice between the three games.
Use all 12 votes or less as you see fit.

Quest design includes the narrative and C&C of quests.

Combat includes mechanics and encounter design.


- if anyone can set up the same poll in a better way feel free to do so.


NO NEED TO VOTE FOR THE TITLES. THAT IS POINTLESS. VOTE FOR FEATURES ONLY.

 

[Sranchammer]

Who are the Big 3?

 

[SCO]

Poll is missing dragonfall.

 

[hiver]

Maybe some other time in some other poll.

Nice to see someone wasted a vote on a titles of the games already.

 

[AMG]

Pretty obvious, combat goes to Divinity, everything else to Pillars. Also didn't Shadowrun raise like double the amount Divinity did? Seems weird that you picked Divinity over it as "the big" kickstarter.

5 votes for wasteland 2 quest design... will be substracted because of obvious trolling.

Poll is missing dragonfall.

 

[hiver]

You guys are ruining my rule of three schtick.

 

[Tigranes]

Art: POE hands down, because the rest are
Plot/Story: POE, but it's not really amazing in any of them.
Combat: POE and DOS are pretty good for very different reasons. DOS would win for innovation if it didn't become so trivially easy and if the character system was complex enough to support more than 1.5 playthroughs before showing everything.
Quest: Decent, not amazing, in all of them really.

 

[thesoup]

All on Divinity: Original Sin. Claiming otherwise is for fags.

 

[A horse of course]

Using Dragonfall is cheating. It should be vanilla DMS.

[Darth Roxor]

Combat/quest design for D:OS, Art style/main plot for Doragonfall, although I had to think for a while between DF and PoE when it came to art style.

 

[PhantasmaNL]

DOS combat, POE artstyle, DF main plot and story.

 

[Commissar Draco]

Combat for DoS, Art Style for PoE and Main Plot and quest design for W2; Shadow Run was cool tablet game but doesn't simply the production values to even be compared to Big Troika.

 

[Bleed the Man]

Combat goes undeniably to Original Sin. Everything else goes to Pillars very clearly, in my opinion, although I liked the four games on the poll very much.

 

[hiver]

Ok, all the votes that went to the titles of the games will be subtracted from the feature with most votes.

 

[Brutan]

Dragonfall for the combat and Pillars of Eternity for everything else. Wasteland 2 was very good on quest design too. As far as D:OS is concerned, it way below the other three. I don't even consider it a proper RPG. It's more of a hack and slash/action game.

 

[Ovplain]

Dragonfall had everything IMHO.:S Wasteland 2 misses out on 'art style', D:OS misses out on 'main plot & story' and PoE misses out on everything except 'art style'.=(

Relatively speaking, IMHO.:'(

Using Dragonfall is cheating. It should be vanilla DMS.

You are right. Votes will be taken off.

 

[Xathrodox86]

Pillars of Eternity take it all. This game rocks.

 

[Infinitron]

What an unusually designed poll.

 

[Bubbles]

There is no genius without eccentricity.

 

[hiver]

What an unusually designed poll.

Is there any way to do it better?

There is no genius without eccentricity.

Or insanity. That works too.


I think i should remove the dragonfail completely, really. it wasnt even the original kickstarter project. the problem is i dont care and i find this whole deal ridiculous.

 

[Aenra]

edit: Not so Nice poll hiver though i do not expect any surprises, outcome-wise
should have added two more options in my opinion [if possible]:
- Interactivity (D:OS for me)
- Sense of character progression (PoE for me)
As it is, bit of an injustice come to think of it

Voted D:OS for combat and quest design
(quest design in the sense that at least from the three listed, a) i have the option to complete some objectives in a manner of different ways that do not limit themselves to dialoguesque C&C, b) unlike the other two and hence the vote, it allows for a 'pseudo' non linear approach; ie you can find yourself having skipped parts of the main quest, moved on to later areas and still be able to backtrack, pick the main chain up)

PoE for pwetty graphics and story. A shockling turn of events, who'd have thought! Play once, shelve until Weidu2 is invented. Hopefully. Before i am too old

Wasteland 2 deserves no vote. Had you listed an option such as 'begun KS craze, all hail the new hope, that it should get by right.

Shadowrun i never finished. Cheap, tablet-esque shovelware TB-slap-on-so-it-will-sell unworthy of purchasing. Indies going for free have done better
