You
can't possibly tell me that the reason this is close is because of
Gears of War. It's so pathetic right now that I doubt RE4 is affected
by it substantially. I think it's easier to say RE4 is just this weak. It shouldn't have been anywhere near KH in the first place. --- *is Dranze* BGE2 - Today: MGS3 > WoW - Points: 70/100 Vote: MGS3 |

Actually, let me take that back; There's a possibly we just simply underestimated KH. --- *is Dranze* BGE2 - Today: MGS3 > WoW - Points: 70/100 Vote: MGS3 |

I don't think GoW is really hurting RE4 (maybe 1-2% at most), but the opposite. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/blue/Albion+Hero.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/threesome.gif |

Wow, my faith in Half-Life 2 is going down by the second. Then again, isn't Gordon Freeman stronger than Marcus Fenix? |

Judging by your reactions, sounds like this doesn't bode well for RE4. --- "If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh." -Magus |

From: LinkMarioSamus | #254 Marcus (2007c) VS Gordon Freeman (2007c) Marcus has a strength of 20.84. Gordon Freeman has a strength of 19.89. Marcus wins with 52.28% of the vote!

So...it's
just a battle for third place, but what do you think about KH2 >
FF12 in R2? Because it's hard for me to imagine FF12 or HL2 trying to
do this. --- Prototype Shorthand, do you speak it?! |
MarioSuperstar | Posted 5/2/2009 9:45:38 PM | message detail |
Yeah, Marcus is nowhere near Gordon. I wouldn't take Marcus to ever beat Scorpion or Ganondorf --- *is Dranze* BGE2 - Today: MGS3 > WoW - Points: 70/100 Vote: MGS3 |

Yeah LFF is totally a creation of Lopen fanboys, gotta agree with BlACk TurTLE here. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

Half Life 2 will win tomorrow. I have absolutely no faith in FFXII. --- I may be fine and divine, but sometimes even contest know-nothings like Jose make better predictions than I...though not often |
HaRRicH | Posted 5/2/2009 9:49:10 PM | message detail |
I
wasn't aware it was consensus that KH2 > FF12! I figured the
majority of us would have stood behind their shared GotY-poll and took
FF12. --- Prototype Shorthand, do you speak it?! |
LinkMarioSamus | Posted 5/2/2009 9:50:48 PM | message detail |
Gordon's
game has my vote. Twilight Princess is somewhat of a rehash that is
missing quite a few Zelda staples (no Octoroks, magic meter, hammer,
etc.) not to mention that as big of a game TP is, some parts of the
game felt unnecessary to me, namely the beginning missions and the
statue quest at the end. I've watched Half-Life 2 on YouTube and every
part of the game seems polished. And I think Kingdom Hearts 2 is indirectly stronger than Final Fantasy XII for some reason. |
KamikazePotato | Posted 5/2/2009 9:51:04 PM | message detail |
I
don't think any of us have any faith in FFXII doing anything. The fact
that we're still considering HL2 over it should show you that! --- http://thengamer.com/guru/ |
LinkMarioSamus | Posted 5/2/2009 9:52:10 PM | message detail |
That's
probably because Gordon Freeman has already defeated FF12's most
popular character, and Half-Life 2 is probably stronger than Gordon
(since GF is a silent protagonist). I stupidly took Half-Life 2 for first in tomorrow's match, though. |

FF12 wins easy tomorrow. Show me one match this contest the only RPG didn't advance (outside of total fodder) --- http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/blue/Albion+Hero.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/threesome.gif |
The n00b Avenger | Posted 5/2/2009 9:56:29 PM | message detail |
By all accounts the game itself shouldn't be too impressive. The Final Fantasy name alone is probably enough to beat a Half-Life though... >_> --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
ZFS | Posted 5/2/2009 9:56:41 PM | message detail |
It
always amazes me how down people are on FFXII. People were just using
the GotY 2006 poll to prove that KH2 has no shot, now we're saying
FFXII can't take KH2. Can't wait until tomorrow -- time to silence the doubters and the make the Balthier comparisons stop! --- a metal slime appears |
KamikazePotato | Posted 5/2/2009 9:57:54 PM | message detail |
Who
needs Balthier comparisons? FFXII just flat-out isn't liked that much
among the FF fanbase. That's still enough to beat HL2, but anything
more...eh. --- http://thengamer.com/guru/ |

Approaching the end of the Power Hour and RE4 seems to have managed a 260 vote lead over KH2. Think RE4 can get a 1500+ vote lead within the next 8 hours? --- "If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh." -Magus |

ZFS | Posted 5/2/2009 9:59:26 PM | message detail |
FFXII hate is overrated as anything. There are no doubt people who do dislike FFXII, but most do
consider it a good game. It's not the strongest of Final Fantasy's by
any means, but it'll hold its own against real competition for sure. --- a metal slime appears |
-LusterSoldier- | Posted 5/2/2009 10:00:26 PM | message detail |
Think RE4 can get a 1500+ vote lead within the next 8 hours? RE4's best time will be the night vote and also the dead zone, because KH doesn't do well in Europe. It might be possible. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but still not as cool as FastFalcon05, Guru Champ! |
BlAcK TuRtLe | Posted 5/2/2009 10:00:41 PM | message detail |
As bad as Resident Evil typically is with the day vote, RE4 should be leagues ahead of all the other games in that sense. --- http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/020/b/f/Ariel_by_lolita_art.jpg |

honestly I think RE4 needs 2500 to feel safe I wasn't all impressed with Halo's ASV against Diablo. Halo's ASV didn't quite seem as strong as Master Chief's ASV, which is about on par with Sora's. 1500 should be enough to possibly survive the ASV, but 2000 or higher to really be safe. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but still not as cool as FastFalcon05, Guru Champ! |

From: -LusterSoldier- | #279 why does halo vs. diablo, who had much lower %, thus less total votes to worry about, have anything to do with this match --- http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/blue/Albion+Hero.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/threesome.gif |

Half-Life
2 is toast. The original had every single advantage in the book over
IX, and it still couldn't come close to pulling it off. This has just
been an excellent contest for the traditional draws (the Square and
Nintendo heavies) and an awful one for the draws we thought this site
has become more accepting of (FPSes, anything from the Xbox sans the
RPGs). The fact that gears is getting absolutely humiliated by Colossus
isn't exactly instilling me with confidence, either. How badly can
Half-Life beat Gears? Can it beat SotC at all? Yeah, my heart and bracket are with Gordy, but safe money is on the Square rep tomorrow. --- I, like clockwork, have been humiliated by hochiminh Hochiminh is better than me. I was a numbskull for thinking I could defy Him. |

PartOfYourWorld | Posted 5/2/2009 10:17:16 PM | message detail |
I'm
also regretting taking Call of Duty 4 into Round 3, although at least
the Nintendo reps can still kill each other with SFF there. --- I, like clockwork, have been humiliated by hochiminh Hochiminh is better than me. I was a numbskull for thinking I could defy Him. |

I'm not sure CoD4 gets into Round 2. Diamond could very well be stronger than Galaxy. --- http://thengamer.com/guru/ |

yeesh. if FF12 is still stronger than KH2, it would have beaten RE4. good thing KH2 is there next round. --- xyzzy http://img.imgcake.com//chewing.jpg |
PartOfYourWorld | Posted 5/2/2009 10:22:52 PM | message detail |
Neither
am I, because I'm expecting CoD4 to be weaker than what it showed in
GotY voting, and also because Team Fortress 2 is a pretty similar game
that will probably do what Okami and SotC have done the past few days. I fully expect Diamond/Pearl to be several notches below the Pokemon games we've already seen, but even that might be enough to get the job done. --- I, like clockwork, have been humiliated by hochiminh Hochiminh is better than me.

From: PartOfYourWorld | #290 Plus DP is the only RPG in the match. The only time we've seen the only RPG in a match not advance was Dragon warrior 3 cuz its uber fodder.

The
only first person game that hasn't disappointed thus far has been
Goldeneye, and I think many would still call its performance
unimpressive. Mass Effect wins. --- I, like clockwork, have been humiliated by hochiminh Hochiminh is better than me. I was a numbskull for thinking I could defy Him. |

Well
i suppose this is way too early to be looking at the next match, but
