My first order of business is barring the use of any PotD polls in discussion of any kind.



Yeah about this



Why in gods name do you people still do that.

Yes, with no sweat.

Match 30 - Bracket: SMG > CoD4 - Vote: SMG (81/116)

Brawl will win that because it stands out so hard, not necessarily because it's the strongest game there.

So...would Galaxy be winning this one-on-one?

I knew that Galaxy was practically forgotten and CoD4 was still well-played and popular, but man...


Before this, I'd have given it to Galaxy in a squeaker, but now, I'd say CoD takes the cake. You also have to remember that TF2 is probably hurting CoD a bit as well.

No, it might be winning now 1v1, but we're still in the first 5 minutes here. CoD is just going to go up while Galaxy falls.

Yeah, no question Brawl wins. Though CoD is actually impressing me here. Should be an interesting match with it and MGS4.

Nintendo has made some excellent games since 2002. Namely, this one that's disappointing everyone now, which is on the short list for "best game of the past decade."

no, KH is completely right - the only reason anybody had any faith in COD4 was the GOTY poll. if we never saw that, this would be HUGE.

instead it's just mildly surprising and not really that important.

Fallout 3 you have a case, but CoD4 is the biggest game on the 360 not named Halo 3, and is incredibly popular in its own right. You don't need a GotY poll to know this.

This, of course, is a reason why I'm really doubting Fallout 3 in the final match, and am considering arguing for a Halo 3 > L4D result.

Most logical people would have gone lol FPS on GameFAQs and would've taken Galaxy if they didn't look at past GotY polls.

I beg to differ. CoD4 was HUGE. It topped the XBL usage for most of 2008 and didn't get knocked off until CoD5 came out. And just looking at the sales for CoD5 is pretty telling. Without the GotY poll, most people wouldn't have blindly taken Galaxy in this topic and would have had a better read on site preference trends.
