The new product by best selling game company Steam.

You're right. It doesn't make sense either.
I would of voted for Mario if Nintendo didn't try and milk every last penny they had out of him.
Uh. I need to make an update to the program once the votes reach 100,000.

Yes cause Super Mario Galaxy's bland story, 2-dimensional protagonist, and embarrassingly linear stages are signs of aging well.
Oh shit 59.7-40.3
The fan boys are coming.
It's close, and I think we went into OVATIME
60/40 split, gordon on top.
Episode 3's coming out tonight. I can feel it with my brain.

Just went to a Mario fan forum I used to go to back before the Wii days and told them they deserved this. Those bastards are the reason I hate Nintendo fandom.
Actually even half the people there support Freeman. The ones that aren't are the guys who post in only one subforum, have atrocious spelling, and joined last thursday.
I see you there, fanboy.

I agree with your first two points, but I would hardly say that the stages were linear.
[QUOTE=Red Shift;17752175]I agree with your first two points, but I would hardly say that the stages were linear.[/QUOTE]
Cause they were round.
I'm surprised Gordon is actually winning.
[QUOTE=Lt Kyle;17755098]I'm surprised Gordon is actually winning.[/QUOTE]
I'm surprised Gordon even made it into the finale. Hell, even at the start I remember that one guy said "Gordon is a good hero, but he will immediately loose to MILLIONS of nintendofags."
Well, it has all changed...
Mario fails.
Wait sorry that's obvious sorry.
Guys, i think i need to go to the hospital.
Because...

They can't take the fact that their favorite character is losing.
[QUOTE=Red Shift;17752175]I agree with your first two points, but I would hardly say that the stages were linear.[/QUOTE]
You were forced down a single path that you automatically traveled through 30% of and were given an occasional fork in the road which led down an equally linear path.
Both Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine avoided this by having wide open stages that the player could explore any time he wanted. In Galaxy, half the time there were at least five places you could only visit in one mission. Galaxy was a step backward from 64 and Sunshine in terms of freedom to explore, among many other things.

Exactly.
If Gordon loses this match, i am sure we, as Gordon's fans, won't behave as bitchy as them. I mean, it is just [b]A[/b] contest, no need to pull out knives and fight amongst us gamers, right?
Peace.

I remember being able to explore a wide open space in Mario Galaxy and was actually lacking that in Sunshine. And if you're going to complain about linearity, why not throw Half-life 2 in there since it was originally marketed as free-roam. I still enjoyed it, but you can't deny it was basically a pipe-run.
I loved super mario sunshine, but that's it.
FOLLOW FREEMAN!

Freeroam? In MY Half-Life?
There are only places in the maps to explore, I never remembered that it was marketed as a free-roam game. Otherwise it would look like Wolfenstein (2009), except that you'd a map the size of San Andreas where everyone is trying to kill you and you have one wanted star at the beginning.
And yes, Half-Life (2) is pipe-run. Just like Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, Halo and about every other shooter in existance. Still, in most of the case you have to go to point A to B(more points there) to A to C(more points there) to A to D to E to F to E to G. Chapters "Blast Pit" and "Nova Prospekt" are the perfect examples of it.
That concludes that yes, Half Life series are pipe-run, but in a good and mostly un-repetitive way.
This just in boys:
The Mario Fanboy reinforcements has arrived.
From 40.4/59.6 to 40.8/59.2 IN 3 HOURS.

There were like 3 galaxies where you had one big planet to explore. Most of them were "fly autopilot from tiny planet to puzzle area that you only visit in this mission"

Yes I agree, but I remember when it was in the beta stages, Valve had marketed it as a free-run. I am not saying it's bad that it was linear, I think it contributed greatly to what made Half-life 2 a great game and its atmosphere, I just think that if you're going to tell me Mario has bad games and compare them to Gordon's games, you probably shouldn't be saying Mario's games are too linear since someone could just as easily counter that with Half-life 2.

Considering I haven't played Galaxy for like a year, it would be hard for me to prove you otherwise other than I remember it being less linear than Sunshine.
