SW Choice for Best NEW IP of the Gen - FINAL ROUND - voting now closed

AdobeArtist · 2012-03-11 12:02:26

This is it. For 4 weeks, System Wars debated and argued over originality, innovation, and the impact of those games that made their debut in this generation. This isn't just about the best game, but the best new entry of series beginning here that aren't a continuation from previous generations. And just like some exceptional titles of the past, these will be the new forerunners to make their mark and influence the landscape of gaming tomorrow.We started with 48 new series entering the arena and now only 3 remain. But it's not over yet because only ONE can be crowned System Wars Choice for Best NEW IP of this Generation!!! So which will it be? The physics defying Portal, the galactic odyssey that is Mass Effect, or the most ambitious game to ever bring an ink character to life in the interactive digital world, Batman Arkham?Now it's for all of you in the System Wars community to decide. Since this is the last round, there are no lists, no format, and no optional rules as it's come down to just one choice to make from the 3 finalists. But to make it all all official as a vote, for it to count you need to post a 2 paragraph summation as to why you think the game of your choice deserves this prestigious recognition. The criteria to be covered must include gameplay innovations, technical achievements, the projected influence it will have on future game design, and overall reception to its given gaming experience.Nahhhhh I'm just f***ing with y'all. Just say the game you're voting for and we're all good :P Oh and as throughout this contest, only Level 10 and above users are eligible for this. I'm sure it need not be said, my vote goes to the Mass Effect series. Now let's see what the rest of you have to say :)---And here's the recap of the previous round. With 101 total votes, Mass Effect received the most double (+1) votes, while only 3 people exercised the option to vote for both games in the competing match up.Portal vs Uncharted = 81/59Mass Effect vs Infamous = 96/35Batman Arkham vs Bioshock = 88/39VOTING FOR THE FINAL ROUND END SUN MAR 18

Better than bioware if you ask me.

Well Valve is the best developer in the world while Bioware is the worst so it's not so strange.

I hope you are kidding. You people are literally begging others to switch their vote. There is no comparison to the people picking ME and the haters. I do not care either way I just think it is funny how sad the haters look.

Mass Effect -- because 1 was a great start, 2 was a great improvement, and 3 is just downright fantastic.

[QUOTE="themajormayor"][QUOTE="TheEroica"][QUOTE="themajormayor"] No it isn't... Sure I got all day.

I know you do... probably have nothing to play. Oh and yes it is.

Yes, I just started playing Skyrim. And no it isn't.

And youd rather spend all day on a forum? Skyrim not doing it for you? Hope you didnt get the ps3 version.

I did a rough count do far between Portal and Mass Effect and Portal is up 31 votes to Mass Effect's 24. I may have done some double counts by mistake but I'm fairly certain Portal has the lead by a bit. Keep those Portal votes coming

Welp doesn't seem like Batman stands a chance looking at a few pages. Hmmm I really shouldn't vote because It wont help, but I really don't want Mass Reject to win. Battle of Good vs Evil. Save us GLADos!

We did? I thought we just listed our favorite games out of your predetermined list.

Also I want new IPs in the 3D fighting genre, we still seem to be relying on the ones from the 90s which is fine and dandy but it's due time we get a new 3D fighter, I mean a new game is born in those other genres every other month. 2D is too safe, come on devs grow a pair and give us new 3D fighting games!

Batman Arkham series.
The two other choices are factually wrong. My unopinionated scientific studies prove so. (That and Valve+Biodrones are the worst when it comes to blind loyalty.)
ChubbyGuy40

All 3 are wrong due to the simple fact that Demon's Souls and Vanquish were in this tournament (and NIER was left out, god that s*** annoys me!).

Outside the actual voting, there was a fair bit of debating, like some people arguing how Gears shold have won over Uncharted, or Uncharted should have won over Portal, and that did include quality comparisons.

Now quit raggin on my presentation :P:P

Multitasking mate, multitasking. Well not everyone has a high end gaming PC. At least I didn't get it on 360 and have to deal with screen tearing, extreme loading, jaggies and inferior sound.
