MGS4 needs to stay PS3-exclusive so I can laugh at the vast majority of you while I play it!

Whatever floats your boat. I couldn't really care less what system MGS4 lands on. Besides, I'm sure I'll get my fill of the game just by hearing you people blab on about it! :-P

Your FACE isn't a loller, Ulti!


Hahaha-oh... oops.

Oh, so while I'm doing crazy stuff.

ITALIC PREDICTION: MGS4 will NOT be PS3-exclusive, and will be announced for the 360 no more than 6 months after it comes out on the PS3.

I really have no idea why people keep on insisting that when EVERYONE involved with the game says it's going to remain PS3-exclusive.

Just a question outta curiosity since nothing else of note is going on: Where do you guys think Tidus is now? We didn't get a good read on him last year, but what do you guys think of him? How would a matchup with Auron, Yuna, and Rikku (not at the same time, obviously) go for him? Who's the strongest character you'd take Tidus over?

"Four of you have tried to kill me in the past. One of you succeeded."
wavedash101 | Posted 3/21/2007 12:59:39 PM | message detail
I'd take Auron to crush him, Yuna to beat him, but I cant see Rikku taking out Tidus TBH...

I remember the FFX-poll where Rikku barely edged out Tidus pre-FFX-2, ha...plus, was Rikku in KH/2/CoM? I know Tidus was barely in the first one...

...not saying I'd take Rikku over Tidus, but there's room for argument.

Tidus was in 1 and CoM, Rikku was in 2...both had bit roles, though Tidus is more visible since he is one of the sparring partner you have in the first level...

Well, I guess Squall DID get 42% on the Snake on steroids.

Tidus got 35 or so on Squall? Past the SFF, that's still only decent.

I'd probably pick Shadow over Tidus now, and I'm really starting to doubt taking him over Auron now...

Oh, and since I'm posting here again, just remember. I don't often have the most logical of points or good reasoing.

In fact, my reasoning is almost always terrible and disproved by someone right away, but hey, just reminding you guys to get used to me again. =P



So, Crono beats Sephy now because of that 3rd CT game right guys? >_>

So if we had a standard games contest, 64 entry style, how many Zeldas, FFs, and Mario games get in...?

Also do all three MGSs make the bracket? Same for both Halos and all three GTAs...

And what does WoW seed as?

Miss_Rydia | Posted 3/22/2007 4:59:45 PM | message detail
I'd say 3 zeldas, 5 final fantasies (with tactics), 2 marios, both halos, 2 metal gear solids, and with divisions of 8, I'd guess WoW as a 5 seed.

Hopefully a limited of all of them. No idea how many would actually make it -- nor do I want to imagine what the front page people are capable of doing. <<

Miss_Rydia | Posted 3/22/2007 5:00:59 PM | message detail
and those numbers are assuming that it's all determined only by number of nominations and not by cjay mixing things up.

Now Playing: Disgaea 2, Final Fantasy, FF6A
KleenexTissue50 | Posted 3/22/2007 9:46:52 PM | message detail
Let's see.

Zelda - LttP, OoT, TP...maybe the original.
Final Fantasy - FFVI, FFVII, FFVIII, FFX. I wouldn't bank on any others being definite.
Mario - SMB, SMB3, SMW, Galaxy (assuming it's out by then). SM64 is a maybe.

I can see all three MGS games and both (all three?) Halo games making it.

WoW gets a better seed than most would predict, I think. 4th, maybe 3rd.

KT, I'd be stupefied if the original Zelda didn't make it, and SM64 makes it long before the original Mario. Might even make it before World.

KleenexTissue50 | Posted 3/22/2007 9:56:16 PM | message detail
Didn't SM64 get subbed from the original? I don't remember, not having been here for the contest and all.

And the original Zelda...meh. I think a lot of people will end up overlooking it. If it does make it in, I can't see it being anything more than a 6th seed.

Haste_2 | Posted 3/22/2007 9:57:37 PM | message detail
I say we should have a 128-game bracket... and have two matches per day for Round 1, and maybe Round 2, as well. Whenever you entered the site or refreshed it would randomly pick one of the matches. The casual visitors would randomly vote in one of the matches and move on, while the more diligent contest participants would refresh until they voted in both matches.

SM64 got smashed by OOT in the second round. that's why you've never heard anyone talk about it, unless it's just "how the crunk did SM64 lose worse than Super Metroid?"

HaRRicH | Posted 3/22/2007 10:28:02 PM | message detail
Yeah, when you smash a Saturn game before you're SFF'd hardcore, the only thing really left to mention about it is that LoZ:OoT, GE007 and PD were N64 games that were seeded above you. For as much as I love PD, I don't understand how it outseeded SM64 -- even with GE007 out-seeding PD.

Not like SM64 wouldn't beat PD to a pulp or perhaps even beat GE007, but that seeding is still weird. I should just assume CJay tampered with it and move on, ha.....

Ngamer64 | Posted 3/22/2007 10:56:06 PM | message detail
That's an okay enough idea, Haste, but I'd hate to see good first/second round matches earning only 60k votes. I think what we should do instead is to have two Polls, one right on top of the other. HOWEVER, every time you visit the page one would randomly be picked as the top poll, and might switch on a refresh. That way both polls ought to be noticed, and in equal numbers. (I can already hear complaints of "StarCraft only didn't finish that comeback because b.neters coming to the site only noticed the Devil May Cry/Perfect Dark match on top!")

Also, the vote results page ought to read "Vote accepted. Now vote in StarCraft vs Kingdom Hearts 2."

The one thing that I would see happen with Haste's idea is that the contest-faithfuls will have a bit more of a say-so in the match-ups. I wouldn't mind so much, but as if this year isn't going to be crazy enough...

...I do like Ngamer's idea though.

ZFS | Posted 3/23/2007 12:25:08 AM | message detail
As for that other question about which games from these series make it in, here's what I'd go with...


Mario
Super Mario World, Super Mario 64, Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario Bros.


Zelda
Twilight Princess, A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, The Wind Waker, The Legend of Zelda, Majora's Mask (?)


Final Fantasy
Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy XII, Final Fantasy VI, Final Fantasy VIII


All three Metal Gear Solids, both Halos, WoW gets in and faces FFVII for supreme justice.

I enjoy the fact that there are more people who consider themselves to be the most loyal to Sony than people who own a PS3 right now. It doesn't necessarily mean a lot plus the poll still has a lot of time left, but...still, enjoying that tidbit.

It should also be noted that since Square is easily the biggest on Sony consoles, it steals a lot of Sony votes.

Lastly, I think ditching the last option would also have benefited Sony IMO, since their fans generally seem less extremist, but that may just be me.
