From: The n00b Avenger | #402 Its not. But its only one of the factors. Plus look at the votals for the WoW match. Its one of the lowest we've had since the early generational days. Theres alot of room for rallying votes if needed. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/blue/Albion+Hero.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/threesome.gif |

From: KamikazePotato | #407 My point is that WoW easily beat Halo 2 on its own strength, with very little rallying. If there is a closer match, it has quite a bit of strength to gain from rallying if needed. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/blue/Albion+Hero.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/threesome.gif |

What game is WoW supposedly going to have a close match with. It only gets tougher from round 1. --- a metal slime appears |
MetricTrout | Posted 5/3/2009 9:47:28 PM | message detail |
7 > X > 6 > 8 >= 9 > Tactics > 1 >= 4 > 12 Not going to pass judgment on FF8 until it faces real competition. And Starcraft does not count. But did you see what Starcraft did in the 2004 contest? Yeah, and evidently no one cares enough about it to rally for it anymore. Honestly, right now, I would take anything with name value (Majora's Mask, FF9) to put up a similar performance against FF8's fourpack. Not saying it is weak; just that its strength could range from any number of values. I would like to see how it splits against FF9 next round first. As it stands right now, FF8's first round performance proves nothing. --- http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=147 |

From: PartOfYourWorld | #382 This, only make it first through fourth. This showing from Zelda does not convince me it takes first with ease.

Half-Life 2 is obviously bringing in a pretty decent fanbase and the only Xbox option Eh, I wouldn't really count Half-Life 2 as an Xbox game. Most of the support it gets definitely comes from the PC pool. But the exposure it's gotten on the Xbox (and by Orange Box extension, the PS3) has certainly helped tremendously. Not to mention the PC version of the game came out in 2004 whereas the Xbox port wasn't released until 2005 --- 82/108 points - The Best. Game.

Yesterday's chart: Time | Gears | KHII | R. Evil 4 | SotC | Demographic EBV | 14.22% | 32.67% | 35.54% | 17.57% | (0:00-0:05) PHV | 12.61% | 32.59% | 35.13% | 19.68% | (0:00-1:00) FNV | 12.97% | 31.97% | 35.04% | 20.01% | (1:00-6:00) BSV | 13.45% | 33.35% | 33.82% | 19.38% | (6:00-9:00) DSV | 14.73% | 34.56% | 33.66% | 17.05% | (9:00-14:30) ASV | 14.21% | 34.04% | 33.83% | 17.91% | (14:30-22:00) SNV | 13.47% | 34.20% | 34.61% | 17.72% | (22:00-24:00) RE4 is definitely a board vote, Power Hour, and night vote game. The difference between night and day isn't as bad as with the rest of the series though. KHII makes a 2.5% jump from the first night vote to the day vote, even beating RE4 outright during that time. SotC is a night vote game, but it still does well with the early morning vote. Why in the world does Gears of War have a board vote? Brackets? Bad, bad night vote, as it customary for XBox games. Yesterday's stats: Resident Evil 4 – 50.00% Kingdom Hearts II – 49.59% Shadow of the Colossus – 34.93% Gears of War – 28.88% So do you guys think 65% on FFXII or 65% on SotC is better?

Uh... Final Fantasy VIII Final Fantasy X Red/Blue/Yellow Super Mario 64 Twilight Princess Metal Gear Solid Kingdom Hearts Resident Evil 4 Kingdom Hearts II Top three are pretty close - I'm still struck by RBY beating MM nearly as bad as Melee beat Wind Waker, and I like FFVIII's performance on StarCraft a bit more than FFX's on MGS2. Twilight Princess can go up a spot if it pushes FFXII closer to what Symphony got on Mario 64, or down a spot if FFXII rises to what Tactics got on Metal Gear Solid. I'd give KH the spot over its sequel and RE4 based on KH doing just a tad worse on Prime than RE4/KHII did on SotC. I'm pretty down on Prime, but not that down. --- Mustache...and Green... http://backloggery.com/rpguy96 |

That's enough encouragement for another comparison! Half-Life 2's current percentage on Final Fantasy XII: 55.62% Crono's percentage on Vincent at this time, 2007: 56.44% Crono's final percentage: 48.58% Projection based on Crono/Vincent: Final Fantasy XII wins with 52.24% FFXII has a large enough cushion in the projection that it doesn't need this match to follow Crono/Vincent 2007. If it follows the much tamer Crono/Vincent 2008, FFXII will be right in it. --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |
