Title: Destinies as candidat for hype-o-meter!
Post by: Jerrot on March 06, 2006, 11:56:59 AM

Hiya,

if you're not a regular visitor on "adventuregamers.com", you might have missed that "Destinies", one of the most promising future WME games, did it into the votings for their well-known "Hype-o-Meter". So if you're a registered user and - of course - if you ARE excited about Destinies, check out this link to vote for it: http://forums.adventuregamers.com/showthread.php?t=13619

Of course you can vote for whatever you really want, I just found this topic, because *I AM* much more waiting for Destinies than for BS4 (they really hit me down to ground with BS3...  :P)

Greetings, Mr. J.  8)

I knew that neverwhere will spread after I was convinced to read it. Just my luck...

AG updated the Hype-o-Meter but destinies is not in the list althought it was at the third place when I checked yesterday (along with other two titles with 37 votes). I start to wonder how important that poll was to the AG staff and what was the meaning of it if they have already decided to not take it into account.  ???

EDIT: I'm in no way want to be harsh against the fellow adventurers at AG but I am confused about the meaning of the poll in the first place.

The rankings are determined based on a combination of forum polls, reader feedback and the assessment of the Adventure Gamers team of preview material and press demos.

I have read that. But a 3rd place in the poll is still very high.

EDIT: And I guessed that by giving me the choice to vote for destinies that it was into their minds for the hype-o-meter. What more did they want from a 3rd place?

The quote above means that basically that they can do whatever *they* want (which is understandable, really). The poll is merely a recommendation they may or may not take into account.

That's exactly what I said in my first post.
"I am confused about the meaning of the poll in the first place."

You were confused and I explained to you ;) If you want to argue about it, go to argue to AG forum.
