Poll: Quality or Quantity?

[DM.]

Now this is a question I haven't seen here.
Which do you prefer when it comes to what?

When it comes to Games, Quality.

When it comes to Money, Quantity is really the only option, anyone who picks a pristine 20 over 10 tattered 5's is a moron. Or they have OCD.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

Quality. I would rather developers put all their time into one game at a time and make it as good as it can be instead of working on five crappy games at once.

 

[Cpt_Oblivious]

Quality for games.

 

[Legion]

Quality for most things. Although I accidentally clicked quantity.

 

[Agayek]

When it comes to games, you really need a blend, leaning towards quality.

Yes, time needs to be spent making it as good as possible, but if it takes a decade or more to be released, all that quality just goes to waste. It needs to be done, and done well, but also done quickly.

but money isn't the end, it's merely a method of standardised trading.

In everything but food, quality first. I'd rather play 2 hours of Portal than 20 hours of Terminator Salvation (which is what, 4 play throughs?). Of course quality and quantity is awesome, GTA manages it but then GTA cmes are heinously expensive to make, I think GTA4 clocked in at something like $100million development costs.

In food it's relative, I'd rather eat half a kilo of average Spaghetti Bolognese than 50 grams of perfect Sushi, the Spag will get you further.

Quantity for games.

i.e. I like just cause better than CoD4 cause the single player lasted me more than 10 minutes.

 

[Cuniculus]

Quality, no question. I'd rather wait five years for Half Life 2 Episode 3 and have it completely rock then wait two months and have it leave me questioning why I liked the series in the first place.

 

[Yoshi_egg80]

Quality I'd pick one mario vs. an army of goombas.

 

[Ghost]

When it comes to posts on this site: to most people it's quantity.

Sorry couldn't resist.

But for games, I'd rather have a great game that drags on forever...

 

[DazZ.]

Quality for games and almost everything.

Sweets i'd probally prefer quantity, could munch down loads of sweets and never really care if they are those old fashioned amazing "2 for a shilling" ones. (Cant think of a really quality sweet, Quality Streets dont count)

Oxygen is the only other quantity thing I can think of right now.

 

[traceur_]

When it comes to games I want both, like FFX, quality game and it was very long.

 

[Skeleon]

Quality.
What good is having 20 billion [insert worthless currency here] if it's worth less than 20 Euro Cent?
I also tend to play very good games repeatedly instead of playing many, many bad games.
Repetitive, maybe. But enjoyable nonetheless.

 

[Fairee]

Overall I prefer quality, I'd rather get something better that'll last than lots of cheap stuff that gets damaged/has to be replaced a lot.

 

[Fingerprint]

It depends on the what it is. Like the OP said money etc. then quantity for obvious reasons.

For games I always go for quality - if a game is long and s**t then your doubly screwed if you want or need (for whatever reason) to finish it.

 

[Cylem]

With games, quality is the way to go in pretty much all regards.

I don't own very many games, like, half the number of my other gaming friend, but I own games like Portal, Okami, The World Ends With You and other games I absolutely adore. In fact, I've only got like, two games total I can say I flat out don't like.

 

[Duck Sandwich]

Quality. The majority of the food I eat comes in either a bun (sandwich/burger) or a bowl (beans, salad, rice, cereal, oatmeal). But damn, it's good stuff.

I focus on only a few hobbies (martial arts, games), but I'm known among my friends as the best at pretty much every game (except X Box FPS's), and I train in cardio kickboxing, mixed martial arts, and kenpo.

I get around 5 games a year, but I usually only get a game if I'm sure I'm going to be spending a lot of good time playing it, or it's cheap. Last year I got Brawl, Devil May Cry 3 (5 bucks for the best game I've ever played? Awesome!), Devil May Cry 4, Counter-Strike, and $60 worth of Wii Virtual Console Games)

Thats probably the best answer.

 

[Drakmorg]

Quality is the best option. Hands down.
