Vote for your favorite http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[Lord Of Storms]

For me it has to be MTW between playing and modding it is a game I do not get tired of...

[MacGregor]

I wonder whose gonna win?

[BDC]

MTW

Where is Rise of Nations. That game is sweet http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[Shahed]

LOL

I think Splinter Cell will win this one ??

[Gaius Julius]

I know it just came out, but it couldn't hurt to include Praetorians.

[Big King Sanctaphrax]

I've always wondered why people do these, as this is a MTW forum.

[MongolWarrior]

I never really thought about it.......

[Demon of Light]

I hereby nominate the Sims be the official none of the above choice. Not like anyone here would play the Sims, right?

[MongolWarrior]

Thats why I put lol after it http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[Baron von Beer]

Someone start a poll to see who is going to loose by the most in this poll http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif I voted MTW, but only because I did not see my true gaming passion, Barbie Fashion Designer, on there... (I therefore proclaim this poll to be a sham&#33http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

[pdoan8]

I only play 2 games on the list STW and MTW. I love both, so I flipped the coin to decide which one I will vote for.

STW won.

[SmokWawelski]

The poll is bogus, though it builds up morale here http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
Would you expect to go to, let's say Toyota factory and ask workers which cars are the best and expect them to say Mazda, Chevy or Ford? That's, I am sorry, naive.

Ah, the quality of polls on this site..........

[Baron von Beer]

No, I would expect a Toyota worker to say Lexus. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[KukriKhan]

I have a side question: There are a half-dozen or so of these 'favorite game'-type polls, reaching back to December; anyone have a problem if I delete some (or all) of those?

Trying to get the replied to count down below 10,000.

[ShadesWolf]

I think we might be a little biased

[MongolWarrior]

Wow lots of mtw votes. I have posted Game Poll 2 & 3 in the tavern for all junior and senior members http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif

[Swoosh So]

I voted for sims... hey what did u expect? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/joker.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/mecry.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/idea.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif

[Ktulu]

Medieval of course.

Why im here if not??

[Lechev]

Any game i've bought and played never last more than 2 months....and I'm still playing MTW since release. Go figure

[Maedhros]

Love medieval, I'm not even close to being tired of it.

However I voted for Shogun. If only because I loved the feel and style more.

I really miss the Geisha, and throne room animations.

Transitions between modes, and sequences felt more fluid and dramatic.Everything tied together well, the music, animations, and even colour sequences. The game had better finish work than Medieval.

[Dogmeat]

well its not exactly a close poll, but oh well.
MTW definatley...

[A Nerd]

Only MTW has maintained my interest for a long time. The others got boring (well the ones i havew played anyway) after awhile.

[Michael the Great]

Hey Mongol Warrior I had a poll like this some time ago......and guess who won?
http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[Fragony]

Where are Sacrifice and Homeworld????

[Portuguese Rebel]

Voted MTW this time, but between it and shogun could go either way.

[FesterShinetop]

Why lol behind the Sims? I know it's very hip these days to not like the Sims and I agree that the extension packs are becoming very tedious by now. But the original The Sims was an absolute top-game (and yes, I am serious) and I spent hours behind the computer playing it and enjoying it I think I have played more of the Sims then I have played MTW http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/shock.gif

And I read a preview on The Sims 2 on Gamespy yesterday and I am afraid that one is going to cost me a lot of long nights behind the computer as well.

The Sims is an absolute classic and a brilliant game, there I said it. And in my top 5 of best games ever it deserved a spot, behind MTW though, so I still voted for that http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[Longasc]

Go ask the same question in a Warcraft III Forum.

Kind of a very sensible poll... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/rolleyes.gif

Warcraft III adds nothing new to the gaming world... Still enjoyable though.

[vortex]

Yeah, in a MTW forum, i think that MTW will win. Anyway, that is my favorite game - I have been playing and modding for about 6 months now, and I have not gotten tired of it at all.

[Hakonarson]

Well it ain't mine - where's Combat Mission, or DBAOL?? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

But of het choices I guess MTW will do

BTW this is NOT a MTW forum - it's a TW forum, for all the titles

[scsscsfanfan]

STW and MTW are the games that stay in my hard disc all the time. Others come and go.

beside, I do have A Centry of Warfare on my PC all the time as well. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

[FesterShinetop]

Judging your name scsscsfanfan I would think you are a big Sim City fan? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

Just kidding, but what does your name mean? Or is it just that your cat sat on the keyboard or something? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/joker.gif

[HawaiianHobbit]

MTW of course http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[The_678]

Not much of a contest eh?
Where is Final Fantasy VII the best game ever made?

[TheSilverKnight]

MTW ALL THE WAY http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[discovery1]

MTW, of course. Within a week of buying Age of Mythology and its expansion, I was back to playing MTW http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

So true http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/eek.gif

I tottaly agree http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/eek.gif


In my opinion STW takes the crown for several reasons:

-Defining the original concept;
-Pioneering the battle engine;
-It is a COMPLETED game (not like MTW - so much missing);
-The amazing ambience;
-The attention to all details;
-The videos and music;

It is game making elevated to ART


As for MTW:

-Extremely complex, therefore harder to CA to complete fully (I still think it was rushed to the public http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif )
-Gameplay improvement, strategic and tactical wise;
-Allowing much variation - cultures, units, etc...;
-More rewarding as a game in the long run - more replayability;
-Less attention to the ambience (no videos) and therefore less completeness in the whole feeling of the game (less perfectionism);


As for the other games, comparing them with the TotalWar series:

Who knows? Who cares?... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

...except the Homeworld series. Very good one indeed. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif
