What's stronger - MGS3 or KOTOR? Halo 2 or Halo?

You'll have to forgive me if I'm not waiting on bated breath for that match's result (other than WoW).

Hal has taken exactly 400 off D2 in the last hour. There are 6 hours left and they won't be as strong as that one. It may a damned good watch, but Halo won't win.

At this point, I'd be pretty shocked if MGS3 and WoW didn't advance there. They could both bomb and still finish ahead of Halo 2 the way things look.

It won't surprise me if Halo's next 2 hours are stronger than its last one. And like KH, it's not going to stop just because we hit 8 PM- Halo's SNV is its second best time, and really not that different from its ASV, frogs and carriers aside. I wouldn't be too surprised if it got D2's lead down to 1000 even.

But it should theoretically be beating or at least be close to Halo during the night even if it does bomb, since Halo does horrible at night.

H__RR____H | Posted 4/29/2009 3:04:01 PM | message detail
WoW also doesn't look great if D2 is only 53-47'ing Halo before the ASV is finished, too. Same goes for GTA3 getting 47.5% on Halo right now when GTA:VC barely beat MP-with-PM (whether PM hurt MP or not, GTA:VC's around MP's level and MP bombed). We also don't know about what GTA3 or SW:KotOR is doing to Halo here, either.

WoW's not clear yet just because Halo's looking bad -- neither of them look particularly good.

SSBB/SMG. I do wanna ask if you still want to continue with the bet if Pokemon D/P makes it into the match too though. I'm comfortable enough with it to go on with the bet, but I'm not crazy about it now that it looks like it has a legit shot of advancing with SMG. What's your take on that?

RPGuy96 | Posted 4/29/2009 3:17:13 PM | message detail
Better question than this WoW silliness: Okami vs KotOR? KotOR's got the name Star Wars attached, but Ammy is a good deal stronger than any of us thought she would be - she got doubled by Crono and was fairly close to Ryu in her recent outing; compare to HK getting doubled by Sora back in 2004. I honestly have no idea which is stronger between Halo and Halo 2...but if KotOR can give Halo a fight, why not Okami for Halo 2?

KOTOR would beat Okami easily. Most of Ammy's support comes from her design, not her game. She's like Dante/Kratos-lite.

A fair point, RP, but KotOR does seem like the much more classic, more beloved game. At this point, I'm willing to believe Ammy gets some support because voters misconstrue her as a secret Pokemon.

Not awe-inspiring by any means, yet I still somehow expect it to surprise. It is the only multi-platform game there, for whatever it's worth, and it's got the best chance of racking in some Wii-support.

Still, SW:KotOR should be the favorite over Okami. I doubt it does this today, and SW:KotOR is facing one of the worst games it could go against.

I'm not sold on how far design takes you when all you have is a white wolf head. And Okami was critically acclaimed in the same sense KotOR was and seems more relevant to the site, with a PS2 release in 2006 and a Wii release in 2008 - compare that to an XBox/PC release in 2003.

Against a 2500 vote lead instead of a 3500 vote lead Halo probably could have pulled this off, barring the rallying that Diablo 2 would probably have gotten when it became clear it was in danger.
