How often should we change the poll? -- PK2PK2 04:00, August 7, 2010 (UTC)
- I think it should be every month or two, to allow lots of people to vote. If we changed it every week, that would be too short and not everyone would get a chance, so the results would not be as correct as if we had 6000 votes. Gboyers talk 10:48, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

The present poll doesn't seem to be incredibly helpful. It's already established from editing patterns here that people generally care less about older GTA games, showing that the proportion of late newcomers into the series outnumber those who started out earlier as far as Wikia editors are concerned. Naturally, GTA IV receives less scorn, but the number of votes against GTA III is really distorted (far higher than GTA Vice City), which is unfair for a game from 2001 that actually help popularize the series. Choosing to ask a negative question is already a mistake to begin with.
When this poll is concluded, we should focus more on positive topics, such as the best characters (i.e. mob bosses), vehicles (sports car), or gameplay elements (side-missions/minigames in GTA IV would be an interesting aspect to explore). - ZS 15:47, August 7, 2010 (UTC)
- I chose this poll based on a user suggestion, since the "least favourite" is different to "worst", and I thought it would be interesting to see which people actively disliked. I excluded the older games because people would naturally vote for them (due to older graphics etc). However, it seems people voted for GTA III for the same reasons. Perhaps "Which game has the best storyline" would be a better way to separate storyline from graphics, features and other technical content. Gboyers talk 16:09, August 7, 2010 (UTC)
