GameFAQs Contests

Also, five minute updates are bad enough (fifteen minute updates are ideal)

I have always been a fan of five minute updates.

let's not try to derive too much from sporadic one-minute updates, shall we?

GameFAQs has been known to hiccup sometimes and throw out updates when it shouldn't, such as a one/two/three/four minute update instead of the standard five minute update.

Shall I take you with me? To the place in this town where wishes come true...

You can't count Halo out here. Rallying has a finite ammunition and this is Halo's worst time outside the deep night vote. ... oh wait.

Still liking Halo to end up owning KotoR by the time the day hits.

No problem!

Diablo II has Albion, you should know now that Diablo wont give up his Annihilus charm so easily.....

Diablo isn't exactly bad in the day either, it's not Starcraft. If it keeps doing this to Halo in the night, it has first.

Demyx is better than Axel.

diablo 2 to round 3 IMHO

Halo wins the day vote, but it's not like it's going to be able to manage anything more than an 800 vote comeback or so. KOTOR has a decent day vote.

The sauce is weak with this one. But...if he could be churned, he would make a powerful stir-fry.

Starcraft isn't bad during the day either for that matter- it did better against FFVIII there than in the deep night.

Halo should be the favorite next round. KotoR is likely hamstringing its support here. You've gotta remember only about 50% of the site has an X-Box, so it's one of the few systems I'll buy system LFF for.

Even though I voted for Halo, I kinda wanna see SW:KotOR beat it. It would be too classic. CoD4 beat Halo 3 at its own game, sure, but the Xbox IS a Halo-machine. It losing to any non-Halo Xbox-game would be crazy.

I think we can stop calling KH strong thanks to yesterday's performance after seeing GTA today.

But yeah, this match makes me not worry about WoW not advancing anymore. Blizz does still have strength and Halo's top game can't even beat Diablo 2

The Force is strong tonight!

The surest bet here is last place - GTA seems determined to secure that one. Diablo looks good to win this, and call me delusional, but I think second place isn't certain yet. We haven't seen KotOR in a long time.
---

If KOTOR makes it, all the better - it, too, would probably be on its way to a comfortable win without Halo's presence. Unless Diablo puts some serious distance behind this opposition, I gotta favor Halo/KOTOR next round.

Halo's top game can barely handle KOTOR. this is not inspiring for World of Warcraft outside of it being able to beat Halo 2 in round 1.

Diablo 2 >>> WoW on this site, I'm pretty sure about that.

The fact that Halo is almost beating Diablo 2 with KotoR leeching it should make you feel really bad about WoW's chances.

and I'm not even sure I'd compare Diablo to World of Warcraft.. totally different situations there. GF likes Diablo, not World of Warcraft. the difference there is the rallying. let's not put a blanket on all Blizzard games because they're really not all that alike.

The only thing I can take from this is that this four-pack sucks.

Seriously, KOTOR, great game. It also has no business being this close to any of these guys.

WoW has a pretty high rally factor possibility, and the format of the contest makes it pretty hard to anti-vote (I suspect WoW would be a pretty big target for anti-votes).

WoW and Diablo are alot closer then Starcraft and WoW. Both games are rpgs focused on building up your character by questing and dungeon crawling.

Yeah, I'd agree with that. This doesn't say much about World of Warcraft- still expecting that to be weak.

You know what would be hilarious? Diablo II falling off after this, followed by Halo and KOTOR making double comebacks with the ASV.



It could happen!

Back when everyone was jumping ship on Diablo after Starcraft flopped, I was telling people to keep the faith - "Never underestimate the heartlessness of a choker" :) Halo is Halo, and Halo will always be Halo.

Too bad we never got to see FF8 and Diablo II back in 2K4. Those were my top two snubs at the time.

Halo should be the favorite next round. KotoR is likely hamstringing its support here. You've gotta remember only about 50% of the site has an X-Box, so it's one of the few systems I'll buy system LFF for.

I question this. Not only does Star Wars also have the PC (although the XBox support probably matters more), but they're *such* different games.

I'd almost think it had almost as much overlap with Diablo as with Halo. Or that GTA was hurting Halo worse than Star Wars is.

Really, I don't think we can say anything about overlap here with much confidence. Halo's got a shot at placing above Diablo next round, but I don't know if it'll be the favorite. Especially if Diablo has any bandwagon effect at all.

In order for Halo to be the favorite this match would have to end closer than I'm expecting - I think Diablo will pull away some overnight.

So far, this match certainly doesn't make WoW look any worse. However, I'm not even trying to compare Diablo to WoW - I'm just looking at what might be Chief's strongest game do really poorly.

I'd usually call LFF between a game like Halo and KOTOR nonexistant, but this is a very special case.

I don't think the Xbox has any worthwhile exclusive games besides Halo and KOTOR.

Yeah I posted earlier about how 60/40ing VC wasn't overly impressive.

Kingdom Hearts is strong, but not a powerhouse.


Diablo 2 >>> WoW on this site, I'm pretty sure about that.

I wouldn't put 3 arrows :) but yes I would've always said Diablo 2 is stronger that Warcraft. I have Warcraft placing above Halo 2 but I have MGS3 in first. I didnt expect Warcraft to impress, I just didn't think Halo 2 will be worth much.

Heck, I really only voted for kotor because I think all 4 games are evenish in quality and I thought kotor was gonna get stomped.
