What game from BlizzCon and Gamescom are you most excited about?
Diablo 3 comes in second with 29% behind Star Wars the old republic with 31%.
Only posted since the other thread was closed. Sure it's not scientific, but I think it shows that gamers in fact want something new to turn their addiction to.
Not to join the line of people ready to throw Blizzard under the bus for taking so long with D3, but honestly you really can only wait so long between releases before a certain amount of franchise recognition is lost...
I do have to agree it has lost some recognition with the 11 year wait. I mean it's killing me alhough i was only 6 when it came out and 8 when LoD did, i started play when i was 9 in 03 stopped in 06 and picked up again once i saw this site in 06 quickly got acive on these forums as another name that was perma banned when i forgot my password to it and was foudn to have 2 accountants, against the rules, so i use this one created in 08 but i have stuck with diablo ever since i found out about it. It is my favorite game PERIOD. I think alot of people are liek me but i agree some fans just gave up. I think it's sad to give up on such a good company and game. But i do agree people have done it with diablo and it no longer is really popular, although i can almost guarentee when finally its out people will play. Im actually surprised at the lack of attention SC2 is getting with it being so close to release im so surprised it doesnt have more hits than D3

Not even Death will save you from Diablo Bunny's Cuteness!
im an active gamer, i play games, not log onto gaming websites everyday i had no idea the poll existed, and yeah, been waiting far to long for diablo 3 without even getting another expansion for d2,
Yet active gamers usually know about these kind of events and look around the web.
that is just what you think. i'm an active gamer and i don't visit that website
and i sure as hell am not alone in that fact

Plus, you can't deny the fact that every single person in that poll was a gamer to a certain point, as non-gamers are not interested in these things.
i've never said they are not gamers, just that they don't represent ALL gamers

Sure it's not all the gamers in the world, but if the amount of people voting was high, it's a good chance that it resembles the truth.
No.
just look at polls done by Fox news and MSNBC
they might be the same poll but the results are direct opposites
so which one is the truth?

That's how these poll things work, pretty much like any other thing where they test a subject, only 1 in 10000 people in the world get asked you know.
and that is why they are never accurate.
it is like going to a christian community and asking them what is their religion and the poll would say 100% all Christian.
does that mean that the entire country is Christian?
or going to a Hispanic neighbourhood and polling people on their race.
90+% would be Hispanics would that mean that the country is 90+% Hispanics?
polls are just a fun gimmick which hardly reflects the truth.
and should be taken as that, just something fun to do and not be taken as a factual representation.
the most that you can say about that poll is that "people that visited that website and bothered to vote in that poll is more interested in KoTOR MMO"

Bad analogy. Its not like that at all. The poll is listed on a website for gaming. Not a wow website, or d3 website, a universal one. Theres just as much chance of someone who plays wow or d3 to see the poll and decide to vote or not. No its not 100% accurate, just as any poll isn't. But it shows a majority who've been to the site, regardless of which game they play have chosen d3 over wow expansion. While their are ten times the amount of wow players as their are diablo players, I can believe that d3 is more anticipated than the new cataclysm.
Just don't say that polls are truth. I could call them a thousand things you probably already heard, and truth is not one of them.
Polls rarely reflects anything close to the truth, and its really impossible to know what the truth is. It has to be taken as it is. The opinion of those, and only those, that voted on the poll.
We can only "hope" that the people going there are all of varying opinions, and that the average of these opinions may be close to the real average, but my point is, there is no truth out of this.
The only good use I see out of polls, is to see when something is just -widely- accepted (thus a -great- majority of people vote on the same thing). The error margin for a random poll on the internet is huge.

most gamers don't even know that that poll existed and even if they did they might not have bothered to post their vote.
so to correct your statement, it is NOT gamers but people that bothered to vote in that poll
and even though blizzard sells games better than any other company, they still aren't "mainstream"
like say, EA and m$
poll does not factor in people who have standards and do not view ign
Sad truth.
The worst at the top.
