GameFAQs Contests

Hey guys let's completely ignore GotY polls even though the entire reason CoD4 and Fallout 3 have any bracket support whatsoever is because of GotY polls and you're ignorant if you think otherwise

I've said before that I think those polls underrate Fallout 3.

Also CoD4 was a GOTY winner. It doing well in those polls probably helps the bracket support but it's not like it wouldn't have had any.


Based on their last log in times, they may not have even seen the match results yet. Give them some time. Also thanks for convicing me to seriously cut back on my oracle prediction on SMG.

Huh if he convinced you I wonder if he would've convinced me. Probably not too much but I might've lowered it a point. I didn't read any of this topic though.

What was BT's argument?

yeah, that's game.

interesting result. I hope people aren't drawing conclusions for anything outside of Galaxy here.

Why were people giving BT flack for Brawl > Galaxy?

That seemed obvious enough to me.

And just looking at the sales for CoD5 is pretty telling.

This is the Pikachu thing all over again. I reserve the right to be as obnoxious as I want because of how much flak I took for this and Brawl > Galaxy. Let me have my fun.

Heh yeah. I don't even know what exactly you were arguing but kudos :)

Also BT>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Albion.

I don't see how anyone can really feel too good about Galaxy being stronger than TP or Brawl at this point.

I don't know why anyone expected Galaxy > TP since it couldn't beat it in the GotC poll with WW there. I always thought Brawl was dubious, too. I think Brawl and TP are close though.

Brawl > Galaxy was always the favorite pick here, and not everyone said Galaxy was a lock to beat CoD4. You were completely right in your analysis, though, yes.

Not even 10%? What is wrong with you people? At least SMRPG and Goldeneye moved on.

I dont.

I think Brawl crushes TP.

Except now we're talking about games directly, which are much more affected by sales than characters.

Call of Duty was a pretty mediocre franchise until CoD4 came out.

It's basically the RE4 or FF7 of Call of Duty.

mediocre sales wise or quality wise?

Good sales will almost never transfer to GameFAQs and you know it. There was no reason to take a first-person shooter that sells well over Mario Galaxy WITHOUT first seeing how GameFAQs views it.

Nobody would take stuff like GTA and Halo over Mario, so what would make CoD different if we didn't have polls?

And I mean both, at least comparing CoD 1-3 with 4/5.

Modern Warfare 2 is going to be the big holiday game this year.

Because CoD overtook Halo, and is in PS3 as well.

2 demo's.

4 even has internet support in Mac Millan.

I'm still surprised that a FPS is winning so easily on GameFAQs.

Of course, the reason why this board took Galaxy is because of the GotY polls. No other reason - not an indifference toward FPS, nor an inclination toward Nintendo and Mario and particular, nothing else could have factored in to such a conclusion!

This is some of the most flagrant revisionist history I've seen. "Yeah, I totally didn't need the GotY polls to believe in Fallout 3!" No one is fooled by lies like this.

Read my writeup. I said something along the lines of CoD4 is like the love child of Halo and Half-Life, satisfying both casuals and hardcores.

Hello? Hi? I lost? Can I have my sig now?

Huh if he convinced you I wonder if he would've convinced me. Probably not too much but I might've lowered it a point. I didn't read any of this topic though.

He actually did convince me to move my CoD prediction up 1.5% and Galaxy down the same amount. Should have moved them a lot more though!

So all he said was Brawl>Galaxy? I never got dragged into those debates because I thought that was pretty obvious too.

Didn't expect Galaxy to be this weak, although I'm not stunned or anything, CoD4 is well respected. Might be hard to really get a read on Galaxy though - this is the start of what's going to be ton of LFF heavy matches.

I took Galaxy because it was the 1st legit Mario game in years.

Oh yeah, just like your usual arguments that involve some strange analogy about how people view games that makes no sense and isn't taken seriously.

Anecdotal evidence and all, but the guys in my dorm played Call of Duty like every night. It's just a really popular game among people our age.

Oh, and what's this about silent acclaim being better again?

You have not heard the last of me...
And you never will...

The question now is, how badly does Brawl SFF Galaxy into the ground?

I'm guessing a fair bit. GTA will be closer to Brawl than to Galaxy.

But Halo is hated while CoD is not. GTA isn't well respected either. Respect means a lot, this has always been clear.

While it did help, but I would've taken Galaxy > CoD4 regardless

This is true, I would've taken Halo 3 > Fallout 3 is it weren't for the GotY polls.

I still say Diamond Pearl is doing some crazy leeching, and with the way RBY and GSC performed, it looks likely. But nonetheless, CoD4 is at least proving itself to be a good midcarder at the very least.

Yeah, without the GotY polls people probably consider Diamond over CoD4 for 2nd (before PokeFEAR) and Fallout 3 has an epic fight for 2nd with L4D and Mass Effect.

I'm guessing most of the people that are really surprised that CoD is doing well were living under a rock for the end of 2007/beginning of 2008. I don't own the game, but I played it with friends and really enjoyed it. I plan to pick it up sometime this summer to play what I heard was a really good campaign.

Call of Duty was a pretty mediocre franchise until CoD4 came out.

I seriously hope you are joking. Call of Duty 1 and 2 (PC and 360) got scores in the 90s and won some PC GOTY awards. They also sold 4-5 million each. Perhaps you played the Treyarch Call of Duty games.

Funny thing is, remember that L4D, ME, Halo 3, and Fallout 3 is the last match of the first round. Those never go according to plan, despite all logic to the contrary.

Because Halo is hated here, thats no secret when the Main of Halo loses to Frog and Sub-Zero.

GTA.....Remember Warcraft?

I think his argument (or at least how I read it) was that there was no way Call of Duty 4 dropped off more than Galaxy since the end of 2007. That was the height of NintendoFAQs.

I took Halo 3 > Fallout despite the GotY polls. I still think Halo 3 is leagues above Halo 1 and 2, if only because the 360 is so much more accepted on this site than the Xbox ever was.

Not really. I knew it was popular, but there's simply no reason other than a GameFAQs poll to believe that it is loved on GameFAQs looking at their history with first-person shooters.

What are you going on about? Every single Halo has bombed and Gears of War looked like a dog turd. While there was reason to believe CoD4 was stronger, nothing would suggest that CoD4 should be this much stronger.
