Morrowind did pretty good in the day and it doesn't have the benefit of being a 360 game. I'd expect Oblivion to do pretty well come daytime.

day vote probably goes GOW > Oblivion >= TOS > GTA.. kinda weird to think of GTA as being the worst day vote but eh.

I'm not saying there was anything fishy there (random stuff happens all the time), but this is a horrible way of detecting cheating. Different time frames can have very different vote sums. Just because a game's votes stayed constant while everyone else dropped does not imply a lack of rallying/stuffing.

Well, the past two days have all but confirmed that SFF/LFF/Stand Out Factor are indeed applicable in this contest and were just waiting for the right matches to show up. Also, we're quickly learning that the PS2/GC/Xbox generation has, like, four games with any real strength.

Like I said, it's hard to find typical SFF in the older parts of the bracket because everything overlaps so much that you don't see a Nintendo split for example. Get towards the newer games and the games are no longer universally played.

There's only so weak you can put this games. San Andreas was a GotY, and Morrowind already provided a high floor for Oblivion.

ToS got a distant second place to MP2:E, which was a distant third place to GTA:SA, which won 2004's GotY.

Now ToS looks like it may be able to beat any GTA or MP game.


What a shift in the site.....

I'm beginning to wonder if TOS:DOTNW had any influence on this game's strength.

This is certainly not what many were predicting.

Then again i may be just thinking too much.

Tales of Symphonia vs. Metroid Prime

The alternative to accepting ToS > MP is to accept that VC is a good deal stronger than SA.

Eh, replace any of the three Western games with Prime, and Symphonia would be in last. It's not like there's a large gap between first and fourth right now.

I'm beginning to wonder if TOS:DOTNW had any influence on this game's strength.

I think that only sold around 100k which I think still made it the second best selling Tales game in the US. It wasn't too well recieved, though. But with a match this close, it might have been what tipped ToS into first.

I don't think God of War rolls over ToS with the day vote. Kratos has a great day vote, but great vs. good doesn't mean you can make a large comeback.

Which means START BUILDING A LEAD TOS

I have GTA > Oblivion here. With GTA out of the running, it means I have to either cheer Symphonia to told on or cheer God of War to overtake everything. Sue me, but I can never get over how hilariously flawed this scoring system is.
