Alright guys! I bet nobody ever thought of this, so here's the first one of them: The Tri-Versus Thread. Today in the first of the Tri-Versus thread series, I want to talk about the three best sites that I know. First of all, here are the rules: 1. If you want to debate, make a small chart like the one below and mark an X in the site you prefer, then, you compare the sites and you share with other people why you prefer that site: [ ] Armor Games [ ] Newgrounds [X] Kongregate
Armor Games: The +'s: - Lots of games +1 - Different game genres +1 - Ranking system +1 - Pre-Set Armatars +1 Armor Games: The -'s: - No Flash movies -1 - If a guy wants to make his own avatar, he can't -1 - Where did all the multiplayer games go? -1 Armor Games: Total: 1
Newgrounds: The +'s: - Lots of games and movies +1 - Music system +1 - Different game genres +1 - Private mail system +1 - Movie/Games awards system +1 Newgrounds: The -'s: - Limited points system -2 - Slow and not much ways to get points -1 Newgrounds: Total: 2
Kongregate: The +'s: - Lots of games and genres +2 - Badges system +1 - Points system +1 - Quick messages and Private messages +1 - Chat system +1 - Customized avatar system +1 Kongregate: The -'s: - No music nor movies system -2 Kongregate: Total: 5
Newgrounds for old games (like Demonic Defense, Ray, Johnny Rocketfingers... *reminisces in old flash game nostalgia*) and flash clips/movies
Kongregate? Well, all they got is the shitty games that Armor Games doesn't sponsor, or the games that are out on Armor Games, only they come like months later on Kongregate.
Oh, and the whole idea of badges and achievements is stupid. I go to a flash game site to play the games, if it's a good game, I will play it regardless of whether it has achievements, and if it is a bad game, I won't play it even if it does have achievements.
Basically, Newgrounds+Armor Games>Kongregate in my opinion.
AG has a unique community feel, kong has much better tools and overall design but doesn't have the games AG has. NG doesn't really cut it for me though. It has a terrible, terrible layout, and no good games that can't be found on other sites.
Armor games easily. It's really organized. Just doesn't have a instant messaging system like kongegrate where it pops up immediately. You gotta hit refresh on your profile. Kongegrate i tried yesterday, it was confusing as heck. But it's my first day, and firetail got me to play batallion arena lol.
Actually, you forgot that the only word censored in Newgrounds is N*gger, thats not to offend anyone, just putting it out there, and of course, there's lots of hentia, anime porn. So AG is the best cause it's much more kid friendly but not extremely strict.
Kongreagte has a great chatroom and badges. Also everygame is put on that site first and then gets on here. AG is the best for better points system,forums, and friendly users.
As you can see, none of them are top ranked either. I'm fairly sure all games over the rank of 9/10 came to armor games first.
Armor games gets teh best games first generally, but eventually other games sponsored by other sites make it to Armor Games. If you havn't noticed, Kongergate doesn't sponsor that many games, it takes games that are independently made or sponsored by other sites, meanwhile Armor Games sponsors creators like Krin and ConArtist.
As for newgrounds... well, eventually everything makes it to newgrounds, eventually...
But at least newgrounds has the old flash games for the nostalgic value.
