Question of the Day, April 18, 2010

Where's the "No, I've never played it" option?

I went with the 2nd option, since I guess that's the closest I can get.

 

[Lim3]

Haven't we had this poll before?

And i've never played it and that wasn't an option. I selected hate it though since i hate facebook.

 

[Lamorian]

I played it once. Didnt do much for me.

 

[Contun]

Farmville, in my opinion, is the epitome of fail.

Once again, that's merely my opinion.

 

[twcblaze]

I can't say I've tried it, but I don't hate it. There are very few things in this world that I haven't tried and am still able to hate, but farmville doesn't exactly look like it's something I'd enjoy.

 

[Brad Shepard]

You got to play somthing to see if you hate it, i tried it for a while, but it got stupid fast.

 

[Silva]

None of the options on the poll apply to me. Consequently, I'm not very impressed with the way the options were written. They're not encompassing enough.

I haven't tried Farmville, and so I don't play it. I'm not interested in it, though I do play three other Zynga games (Mafia Wars, Vampire Wars and Pirates).

 

[dex-dex]

i don't play facebook games nor am i on it that often i have only been on it more recently because of the end of them term and that is the only way to contact people

 

[Davrel]

To quote almost exactly from myself:

I used to play Farmville, until getting people to harvest cotton from my perfectly formed Swastika fields lost its entertainment value.

 

[King of the Sandbox]

Farmville is a poor, poor, POOOOOOOR man's Harvest Moon. Let the casuals have it.

 

[MNRA]

Arn't we missing a "never tried it" option? Someone needs to think through their polls before posting them.

 

[The Cheezy One]

i played farm TOWN which did actually come first
although most of the games are re-releases of each other

 

[0p3rati0n]

LOL the stats for "yes" haven't even gotten to 20 yet! XD While "no" is almost to 1000! That made my day. Good thing too because I'm about to go to school and it's MONDAY (S.S.D.D)

 

[UnravThreads]

This!

 

[Dommyboy]

I hate Farmville, and have never played it. Just makes me want to play Harvest Moon.

 

[The Lizard of Odd]

LOL this just goes to show that most of those votes for Zynga during the March Mayhem were people scooting over from Facebook to a site they never otherwise read or comment on....
God I hate Zynga.

 

[fmatthew5876]

It looks like a waste of time to me. If I have extra time to play a game I'll play a real one.

 

[dragontiers]

I know it's been said before, but whoever on staff is putting these up should really come up with some less polarizing options. What about those of us who don't have strong opinions of it? I know people who play but don't "love" it, just use it as a distraction, as well as people who don't play it, but don't "hate" it, they just aren't interested. This is the third poll in a roll I've felt like no matter what option I clicked, it would be wrong. I love the poll and getting the communities general opinion on things like this, I just think that sometimes these polls misrepresent the community because of the lack of options.

God I hate Zynga.

And it also shows that the zynga hordes didn't even stay afterwards (whereas getting more readers was the ultimate goal of the contest afaik), they just came, voted and left.

Maybe if they had had to vote again and again every few hours for their vote to count, they would have felt more like home on the escapist ?

 

[coldfrog]

See, I can't honestly say I've tried it, but I've watched my girlfriend play it a couple times and that's enough for me.

Though I don't understand how she can play that when she likes other games, but maybe it's just enough to work.
