I'm very surprised now. The list's placement of these games tells the full story.

GTA: San Andreas - #11
God of War - #48
Tales of Symphonia - #81
Oblivion wasn't released

So how the hey is San Andreas LAST right now? Especially considering that it already beat Tales of Symphonia in the GOTY 2004 poll. And how is Tales of Symphonia winning? The only thing I can think of is that ToS is the only game on a Nintendo console and the only one not rated M. Still, I'm confused.

Man, this fourpack really sucks.

4 terrible games battling out to find out who sucks the least.

Feeling good about WoW > Halo 2 next round.

Well guys, I've cracked the code.

ToS is the FFVI of the Game Cube.

Horribly weak characters.

Strong game.

Get this "Symphonia acts like Mega Man" stuff out of here. ToS has always had a good day vote.

Compared to a game that should pull a Halo? Really? Normally, I'd say that yes, ToS has a good day vote...but it's going against games that should have monstrous day votes. Its going to get pulverized on that time zone.
red sox 777 | Posted 4/30/2009 9:28:41 PM | message detail
This should show you all just how much the List and PotDs are worth! (Except for the ones saying that FFVII finishes last in round 4 because both CT and FFVI have beaten it in a PotD yes).

ToS is the only JP-developed title on there. So it's getting the entirety of the weeaboo vote. Makes sense that it's holding its own against the others.

ToS's placement was misleading since it wasn't in the drop down list. It got on the Top 100 primarily because of Board 8 support.

Bear in mind Tales was one of two write-ins to make that list, and the higher of the two (the other was Halo 2).

...Which should say something about its fanbase.

Try it again, get to the Tower of Salvation and stop crying. Yes the story sucks until then, but suck it up.


I really don't care about the story. From what I've seen about RPGs, the battle system trumps everything else because that holds the overwhelming bulk of all gameplay, and I thought ToS's was just awful. Couldn't get into it at all.

Games? When has Oblivion proven its day vote is anything special? Morrowind didn't do much with it.

Tales of Symphonia has 55.3% (and rising) on what we thought would be the strongest GTA title.
