GameFAQs Contests

MGS3 had to deal with Halo 2. Not much difference.

When I'm sure of something, I'm right more often than not.

I wonder how many times you've been sure of something. I'd say every time.

BGE2 - Today: SMG > CoD4 - Points: 86/112 Vote: SMG

Pokemon = huge day vote draw. Too bad MGS1 has to deal with Pokemon for another round. But after that it's smooth sailing...I hope >_>

92/120 points - The Best. Game. Ever 2009 Contest
NP: Metal Gear Solid 4 > BioShock | http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=4

yeah, this looks over. Portal should win by about a thousand votes.

also, I think MGS4 would have different trends than the earlier ones thanks to the whole PS3 thing.

FO3 will be interesting tomorrow. Its main competition in the GotY-polls was MGS4 due to sharing the PS3, and I think it's safe to say MGS4 got the overwhelming majority of that fanbase. Now that it's going against three major 360-games with no PS3-competition in sight, tomorrow might have something funny happen...and I don't know how good or bad that is for FO3 yet. I figure the 360 means more to FO3 than the PS3 so a bigger demographic of FO3's fanbase should be in question, but it's shown it can dominate a multi-GotY poll before though and these games are 360-exclusives outside of L4D on the PC...and none of them are on MGS4's level.

It probably won't amount to much weirdness and I don't know how we would try to measure it anyway, but it intrigues me.

Shorthand, do you speak it?!

Both MGS1 and 3 lost a little over a percentage point from their nighttime peaks. It looks like MGS4 will fare a bit better, but that's not puzzling given its competition. Replace Bioshock with Pokemon, and it would be bleeding right now.

It could. This match doesn't bode well for it, but my first theory was that it would be even more night-centric because I thought the PS3 as a whole would be a night-centric console.

So...MGS4 versus SMG, who ya got? It's worth mentioning SMG beat D/P worse than MGS beat G/S.

1v1 in a contest sitting, I take Galaxy. We've only seen two examples, but I get the feeling that new Nintendo can get really crippled by fanbase splits, and Galaxy had a big one yesterday.

From: R0YKEANO | #460
what

The ownership percentage is still comparatively small, it's the most expensive console out there, and it's not really marketed toward youngsters. I just figured it would be more popular at night, although it looks like I might be wrong (not like we have any other examples to look at apart from the Nathans' contest trends, though).

I know it looks like MGS4 is winning, but the poll is a lie.

*Grin*

I would suspect the PS3 to be night-heavy too. Doesn't it do pretty well at night compared to the day in the "Got PS3?" polls and such?

PAH! Portal has gained 2 votes in the 4 hours and 10 minutes.

Nonsense I say!

I'd say overall this is an underperformance for MGS4. I expected 45-48%

Becoming One

This match is horrible. Tomorrow should be a good one tho. i got Fallout 3 > Halo 3. i think halo is barely beat Mass Effect

this is tougher competition than Brawl had (albeit not by much) and MGS4's got a similar percentage. it's pretty much an expected result.
---

What a boring match. Good to see Portal advancing though. I didn't really care for Bioshock.

I don't know if I'd call 5% less similar.

That pic looks cluttered as hell.

http://thengamer.com/guru/

Is this competition really better than Brawl's? GTAIV shouldn't have any trouble with Portal, and P4 would beat SFF'd LBP just fine. SFIV likely loses to Bioshock, but that doesn't compensate completely for the other two games.
---
All the stars in the sky are waiting for you.

Portal = GTA4
Bioshock > SF4
LBP >= Persona 4

yeah, I'd take this pack.
---
xyzzy

Normal LBP beats P4, perhaps, but SFF'd LBP doesn't stand a chance. And GTAIV would crush Portal.

If CoD4 can easily beat Halo, I don't see why Fallout 3 couldn't. Not the same genre I know, but it draws from the same systems. I think Halo definitely gets hurt more by the other games in the poll than Fallout.

Hmmmm, he picked the "me experimenting then realizing how bad it was" pic I did for Mass Effect.

Sigh.

I like my Fallout 3, though.

Actually, that's ironic. I submitted the box art so that he wouldn't pick my other Mass Effect pic, and he ignored it.

The one time I want him to use the freaking box art... Oh, well.

When did it start showing your tiebreaker under "Check your entry"? I just noticed that.
---
Better to ask than to speculate

Wasn't there a petition recently for Bacon to add that? I didn't notice it was changed.

As for tomorrow, either Halo wins it in a close one, or Fallout absolutely embarrasses Halo. I can't see it being a middle ground.

I think that was added today. I remember checking my score shortly after today's match started and the tiebreaker wasn't there.



Oh hey, it's Halo 2/World of Warcraft RELOADED! Portal's lead has stayed around 1600 for the past 6 hours.

Popular at school, but still not as cool as FastFalcon05, Guru Champ!

And GTAIV would crush Portal.

Based on what? I wouldn't take GTA IV to crush BioShock OR Portal with any confidence. I'd take GTA IV > BioShock, but I wouldn't take it over Portal with any sense of confidence.

Hey guys, how long has the "MY brakcet page told us our tiebreakers". Because I don't think it did before some point today.

Nice addition.

Good stuffs by SBAllen.

Looking forward to next round...Anyone think Mario 3 can destroy its match enough for Sonic 1 to still beat SFII anyway? I'm kinda considering it.

I can seriously see SMB3 getting over 55% again. More if it SFF obliterates Sonic.
---
It's going to be scary impressive.

I can see Mario 3 getting upwards of 60% honestly. It's stronger than Zelda 1 already, and while Mario 3's fourpack IS better, Sonic 1's gonna get hurt and Monkey Island's gonna seriously only get 5% of the vote.

Mario 3 is gonna SFF Sonic 1 while Sonic 1 SFFs Monkey Island
