My friend thinks that WoW is the greatest game ever. Ok, that fine by me. But then he goes on about how its the most played game right now, but he won't understand that its not. I just want to show him something to prove him wrong. :lol:

don't have any ideas for your argument but my most played game (on xfire) is FlyFF :D, But i've only had xfire for 2 years maybe (when we got rid of Dial-Up for DSL) and my PC sucks so I do most of my gaming on Consoles.

EDIT: after looking at Lifeisbetterwithketchup's post i realized my most played game (on any system or PC) is Dragon Warrior Monsters for GBC :). I have several copies with over 60 hours on each. :mrgreen:

I would actually argue that pocket pool is more played.

My most played game right now is Team Fortress 2. I don't play it a ton, but I've played for a few hours just about every week since I got it. Most played game ever? Pokemon Silver. :mrgreen:

Another "Team Fortress 2" vote from me, but on the PS3... does that count?

If it's only PC games, then "Half-Life."

Probably Super Smash Bros Melee.

As far as your arguement goes, you should be able to easily present the Wii's sales, followed up with Wii sports(isn't it included with every wii?). Or some Xbox 360 title, like Halo or something.

I got the joke...:P

"Wii Sports" is included with every Wii... except for the ones in Japan, oddly enough. I think I remember reading that that was the best-selling game of all time because of that.

Ya. His counter-arguement is that sales don't mean plays. (Which I don't understand at all) Wow only has 11.5 million in sales, but he's saying that RIGHT NOW, it's the most played game. (As in more people are playing it now) And he doesn't consider Solitaire, I already tried.

Does anyone know how to find out how many people are playing WoW at a given time? Would make it a lot easier to compare if we knew what we're comparing to. Halo 3 currently has about 180,000 players online, and games like Gears of War and COD probably have similar numbers.

"WoW is the best game ever because it has the most players!"
Image

"So JUST because WoW has more players, you think it is the best game ever?"
Image

"Yes."
Image

"And you claim that the more people play it, the better it becomes?"
Image

"Precisely."
Image


"Did you know that the average WoW player spends 14 hours a week?"
Image

"Yes, of course."
Image


Did you know that Runescape has 8.5 million players, and they spend an average of 17 hours a week?"
Image

"Ha! So?! How does that fact infringe on the fact that WoW is best? It is still the most played!"
Image


"Ah, but you miss a large factor: Partially due to power levelers and hardcore players, and partially due to the powerleveling and gold farming market... There are an average of 1.4 accounts per player for WoW, and only 1.1 for Runescape!
Image


"Which means... Runescape is played more than WoW!"
Image


"BUT BUT BUT BUT... Runescape is FREE! IT DOES NOT COUNT!"
Image


"O RLY? Explain to me, then! How can a FREE game be more popular than WoW, where you have to hand over enough to buy a daily espresso?"
Image

"PPHSHSHHSHSHS! No! WoW is best! I cannot be wrong!"
Image


"Take that! Eat my debate skillz, WoWFag!"
Image

" :headexplodes: "
Image


"I aknowledge your superiority. Not only do you beat me in this pointless, prizeless battle of wits over an MMO, you are also far smarter than I could ever hope to be. In addition, you are more handsome and attractive to females than any other male. You are also not at all fat."
Image




That is what you do. You will win.

Excellent
