The sample is the same. 1245 votes.
  • Wasteland 2 has 813 votes from which 75% are positive
  • Heroine's Quest has 165 votes from which 79% are positive
813 is not equal to 165. Do you understand what 'sample' means? Habla Inglés? Fucking moron.

Wrong thread, buddy. Nobody here cares for your opinion regarding statistics. Now stop being a faggot and STFU, because some people actually made some effort to put this together for us.

Also, demanding "unmisleading statistics". Now THAT'S RETARDED.

Nobody care about your opinion either which means we are equal. Even with the correct methodology, if the data is incomplete then the results are shit.

Bottom line is this: More people enjoyed Wasteland 2 than people which played Heroine's Quest in total. That's the only fact in this discussion. Now you know what you can do with your statistic.

1245 people took the same survey with both Heroine's Quest and Wasteland 2. Not rating the game was a vote itself, you retarded asshole. The data is complete.

Proved :butthurt: about favorite game losing to an underdog. You don't defend any point, you're just bitching because results are not the way you wanted them to be. Cry me a river, faggot.

As of statistics, more people didn't rate Heroine's Quest lower than Wasteland 2 (at least 1133) than people which played W2 in total. That's also an undeniable way to put it, but that's a perspective beyond your limited comprehension. And don't try to prove your retarded point with statistics when you called them misleading yourself, you lousy hypocrite. Just quit and save yourself more humiliation.

HQ wasn't really an underdog, it was pretty obviously the best game of 2013. If anything, it got screwed over by getting bumped into a tougher year.

toro makes a good point, a lot of the games on the list weren't left unplayed because of their obscurity, I was aware of them, but what I read and saw didn't interest me remotely, I won't rate it a low score because I have no real experience, but the game has no appeal, and that's the real reason it's underplayed.

That, and: "resulting in 1245 votes. For reference, the Top 50 RPG voting last year only had about 360 votes" Really? Lol. So many lurkers. :retarded: Someone(Not me) should make a genuine poll, not even to change the results, that's done, but just to see how many real votes there would be.

Nice list. Most of the new releases this year have entirely left me behind as I caught up on old games I missed. This will be handy in the future.

So? How toro's point is any good? Since when popularity and quality are anyhow related?

Oh man, I had so much trouble doing this survey, and all I had to do was ask you! Next year we should just use the "Onholyservicebound got interested or not" criteria, that's clearly all there is to the popularity of a game.

Seriously, what an ego trip...

Good result overall - I'd rank Blackguards higher, personally, but I can see how it's not for everyone. What a great year, though! :incline:

Also, someone should tweet this result to Larian - I'm sure they'd be more excited about this award than the GameSpot one. :)

They of course already recognized it

Only devs who wore the hazmat suit and spent ages tormenting themselves by reading what the RPGCodex forums had to say about their game will understand how proud we are of winning both the Reader's Choice & Editor's Choice awards on the RPGCodex! Quite possibly the award that means the most to us.

So many lurkers.

Not that this survey was unproblematic*, but even a year or so ago we had thousands of unique visits to the front page per day/week (I don't recall exactly), and the numbers have grown significantly since then, so >1000 lurkers is far from improbable - if that was your point.

* The main points of contention here being, among other things, whether lurkers should vote at all, the possibility to "rate down" a game, or how many people are, um, "dedicated" enough to vote 15 times (e.g. Andhaira, you, and maybe a few others.)

Then you surely can explain how you correlate Wasteland 2 data with Heroine's Quest data?

I like the outcomes. As for the entries i played myself, it pretty much mirrors my personal ranking. Makes me feel this is the right place to hang out when it comes to gaems.
Also provides more stuff that initially slipped under my radar and now gets put on my list of games to ruin my next midterm exams.

In order to have a complete set of data then each voter would have to play all games and rate each one of them. Only then the data set would be complete.

Of course this is not possible because people will not play all the shit from that list. But there are other way to make sure that the input data is *somewhat* correct.

Allowing to any retard to vote on a unspecified number of games is simply retarded. The data set is far from complete therefore the results are shit.

Proved diagnosis::buthurt about favorite game losing to an underdog. You don't defend any point, you're just bitching because results are not the way you wanted them to be. Cry me a river, faggot.

Yes, I'm very butthurt about your fantasies.

The thing is you are just a poseur ... a pathetic one I might add. Do you think that adding codex memes to your posts is validating them or some shit?
