POLSKA PRZEJMUJĘ TĘ ANKIETĘ!!!* ;)

And now seriously - I came, I saw, I voted. Good luck, CK2!

* -> Poland takes over this poll!!!

Poll... Land... Poland... Get it...? Just kidding. :cool:

Voted twice, people should vote for CK2, it deserves it so much more than any of the others. This is Paradox's moment, let's help them out, especially now that we're getting the Republic DLC!

There are 3 games on that list that I really enjoyed (CK2, Endless Space, FTL), but CK2 is the best of the lot.

Endless Space is terrific for a first game, and the space 4x genre hasn't been flooded with games lately. The publishers have been doing a good job of supporting it (they've put out 2 free expansions), so I'll give it another try soon.

FTL is quite fun, but doesn't really have the depth to compete with CK2. It was definitely worth the price, though.

My computer doesn't have the horsepower to play XCOM, even though it looks quite good to me.

I've played and enjoyed all the Civ games up to Civ 4 (bought Civ I at launch!), but never was interested in Civ V.

Too bad that an award from IGN is worth nothing.

It garners attention to the game. More attention to a PI game could result in more sales. This will give PI a larger budget to play around with and improve the quality of the games even further. Winning this award, as remote as the chances may be, can only be good for PI.

It was supposed to, but it didn't. :( The first time you play, and you will never want to play anything else. Second time and you will think it's okay. Third time and you quit in the middle vowing never to play again. (This happened twice for me. Once with the GOTY version, and again with Gods & Kings)

I loved Civ IV to death.

I bought Civ V on release, and after one game I never picked it up again. There were just so many things that were wrong. The thing I hated most though was the absence of religion. That is one of the things I found very fun to play with. So, they do not have it in the base game and now asked me to pay 30 dollars for it to get it in finally. No thanks

Well from the fact that I was enjoying Civ until CK2 came out and havent been back to Civ at all (or really any other 2012 games) speaks volumes. (FTL was fine too, but cheap game with very little content, artificially difficult and its all about luck really, good game though for 6.99 or whatever it was)

Voted for CK2, GOTY bar none, not just in the strategy section.

I haven't enjoyed civ properly since total war, and I haven't enjoyed any total war properly since paradox games(for me, starting with eu3). In case it isn't clear ck2>civ4/5 as well.

And me fool also bought the addon, one month after release ... first, I wanted to resist, but resistance is futile .. and it's still such a worse game. They made some changes, but the game has problems in the basics. And well, xcom-enemy unknown shall be only reminded in the 1994 version.

Anyway, what if PE games are only bought by disappointed customers of other so called strategy games ? Then, maybe a win for a xcom could make them think, that their games are strategy games and good as well ... And more and more players will enjoy PE's grand strategy games.

So or so, PE wins ;)

Voted for CK2, naturally. The editor's one will almost certainly end up being X-Com, though, and I imagine the popular vote will swing that way too, though possibly with FTL/XCOM.
