Title: Greatest game of the decade

Sonic Adventure 2 is just 5% (700) votes behind Street Fighter 4.

Given that Sonic Adventure 2 is my favorite in the series, I would love it, if it won.

From 5% the difference has dropped to 4% but the votes needed are now 800 to break SF4.

I love SF4, but SA2 is SA2.

it narrowed down to 680. I'll be damned if SA2 isn't better than SF4.

Do we need two threads for this? Weren't there enough Sonic threads? What the fuck...

We've got about 8 Sonic topics on the first page of SEGA news, I'm not sure I understand why.

Bayonetta and Virtua Fighter 5 are the best game of the decade, along with Uncharted 2.

Sonic Adventure 2 lost. What the fuck. This is the most bullshit poll of always.

The tons of Sonic topics are due the fact that 4, Colors and Free Riders all released within a month of eachother. Things'll calm down after Colors releases. Sonic is so hot right now.

Sonic Adventure 2 lost by 1%, to a game that came out last year.

Despite all the criticism Sonic has received as of late, and people criticizing Sonic's jump to 3D as a whole it was nice to see it almost defeated SF4.

@Aki-At: I am sorry for making another Sonic Thread, delete or lock it as there is nothing left to talk about here.

Personally, my favorite fighter of the last decade was BlazBlue.

Don't feel too bad, though. A lot of games which I consider to be memorable have "failed" on all accounts other than being a brilliant game. ;)

I think Street Fighter IV is more important and a better game overall than Sonic Adventure 2.

Having said that, I think that even Street Fighter IV getting GOTD is strange.

That is like....your opinion man..

And how is it "more important"? lol
Title: Re: Greatest game of the decade
Post by: Barry the Nomad on October 23, 2010, 07:30:00 pm
GOTD is really hard to decide, either in a poll or a personal decision. When you consider that "decade" spans everything from the Dreamcast through to today, you've got a hell of a lot of decisions. Then you've got dozens of genres, so again you have a lot of choices. So my point is, "game of the decade" is impossible to figure out.

*cough*Shenmue 2*cough*

Note i qualified it with 'I think'  :P

But yeah it does come down to opinion. As for 'more important', Street Fighter IV had a much larger impact on gaming than Sonic Adv 2 did. For good or bad it really did give a kick-start to the fighting scene again and bring it back to the masses. Sure it was still doing well before, but SFIV really kicked it into another gear.


In the end though I agree with Barry, ten years is a long, long time for any medium, especially video games. There have been so many important releases that are so different to eachother it's really almost impossible to pick one game that can be declared the best.

Oh wait, Shenmue II... disregard my last paragraph.

There was still a fighting game scene that remanined after all these years (well, at least till SFIII).
It's crazy. Since Capcom dropped SF for a time and SNK was just coming out with subpar rehashes and BS, people were still having tournaments with SFIIT and KoF '98 and pretty much anything that still had cabs avaiable coast to coast. I was amazed.
Personally, I'd say Arc Systems Works (and to an extent doujin fighters like Fate/Stay and Melty Blood) keep the people at bay for fighters and gaining momentum till Capcom said "oh, hey, let's check back with that fighting franchise that used to really popular over a decade ago!". Then we got that Chun-Li movie - just like old times!

Only time will decide on these things. I wish there was a legit history book about games.

"Note i qualified it with 'I think' :P "
I know dude, I just found interesting why SF4 would be more important lol

I think I have to disagree though. SF4 is a great great fighting game, but I think the genre was far from dead.
Still, besides being one of the best games on the DC/GC SA2 isn't 'important' at all per say..
Title: Re: Greatest game of the decade
Post by: MadeManG74 on October 24, 2010, 04:14:57 am
Pleast note, I never stated the genre was 'Dead'. I know the genre was still alive and well so all I said was it gave it a big shot in the arm, which is hard to deny.

Some/most of the fighting games that have come out/coming out since may have still been around if it weren't for SFIV, but I do honestly believe that it helped the popularity of the genre by having SFIV be such a major release. Hell, I know it got me back into fighting games after not really taking them seriously for a long time.

Shmups are seeing a bit of a revival these days, too. Now that was a genre that you could barely feel it had a pulse since... what, mid 90s?
Title: Re: Greatest game of the decade
Post by: crackdude on October 24, 2010, 09:07:11 am
Well, yeah I can agree on that Made..

I still think that either of them really belong on this poll, even with SA2 being my favorite game.

There were great shmups on the Dreamcast, so I'd say they faded out in the early 00's. I think PSN and XBLA made them come back a bit, but it's still very fresh. We need more Thunder Force, Mars Matrix and GigaWing.

Most shumps now are dualstick shooters. They are like half of the games on the XBLA even. Kind of tiring.

On the topic of Sonic Adventure 2 and Street Fighter IV. I prefer Sonic Adventure 2 greatly, but do have to agree with MadeMang that SFIV really did help the genre out a lot.

That said, I do not really feel either should be considered for being the best game of the decade. I mean, they are not even Halo Reach.

Post by: SOUP on October 24, 2010, 09:36:45 pm
I really don't think I could pick a single game of the decade. There've been so many amazing titles released.
I'd probably put Resident Evil 4, Rez, MGS3: Subsistence, and Elite Beat Agents on my short list.

In a few hours 'Shenmue' will face off 'Zelda'.

Let's all vote for Shenmue!

I wouldn't be surprised if a Final Fantasy or Zelda game wins this thing. Those games always seem to win the GameFAQs polls.
