Oh, there will be cake.

From: KamikazePotato
I've been backing RBY>FF8 since Day 1, yo. Not sure if that's the same as MGS, but it's close enough!

Also, ngirl, I notice you managed to make the writeup without mentioning the cake. Considering the internet has beaten the cake into a fine chocolaty mess, I applaud you for this.

Yeah, I used pretty much every other line in the game though. Cake however had no place in a serious analysis.

It was so much fun to write.

Completely unrelated to the topic at hand, but man...

How awesome would it be if the next round was Mario 1/Zelda 1/FFI/Ninja Gaiden? Seriously, how would that play out?

And would Ninja Gaiden get more than 1%?

FF1 > SMB1 best result

---

I seriously think all three of those games are in the same general range. Zelda 1 got 43% and FFI got 40% on Mario 3. I couldn't imagine Mario 1 doing any worse than that indirectly.

Portal gets closer to MGS4 than it does to Bioshock book it.

Obviously. 1st HAS to be closer to 2nd then 3rd. That's how math works.
---
*Roll eyes*

Ninja Gaiden will get votes from the people who don't want Zelda/FF/Mario to always win. I think Zelda 1 (top 10 game believe) can give FF1 a good fight despite Mario being there.

I've got a good feeling about Bioshock. we'll see what happens.

Sounds good to me!

Bioshock got enough critical acclaim and sales that I fell confident it comes second here. Portal is just too niche. Just another case where Board popularity is trying to make a match where no match exists, although of those examples so far, this is probably the most likely to do anything (lol failbound and persucka)

Except Guitar Hero is insanely popular everywhere. I had the right logic going into that match, I just thought that game strength would translate into character strength, which obviously wasn't the case. I'm still shocked that no Guitar Hero games made the bracket.

I'm smelling an MGS4 underperformance here, to the benefit of everything else.

Guitar Hero would lose to Portal, book it.

Seriously, "popular everywhere" means almost nothing. If it did, Chrono Trigger wouldn't be in the top 30, much less top 4.

I think MGS will go pretty big here. no Nintendo helps.

How the hell is CoD4 demolishing Galaxy here? This is pretty crazy... what's everyone going with, Galaxy flop or CoD4 is godly?

---
He who shall not be named.

I could see MGS4 not doing so hot here. Still a clear win, but if it can't put up 40% it wouldn't surprise me.

---

I think it's a bit of both, but probably more on the Galaxy flop side.

No real reason, just a feeling. I don't think MGS has been all too impressive so far, but I'm probably in the minority thinking that.

For the record, a semi-annoying guy making a stats topic but posting in it a lot is better than someone making these and never posting in them at all. a la whoever the hell paulg is.

Of the last 50 stats topics paulg235 has posted in nearly twice as many of them as Meeks54. <_<
---
Shall I take you with me? To the place in this town where wishes come true...

Yeah, MWC doesn't really contribute much in these topics unless a Zelda game he likes is involved.

And MGS has done well so far, but not great. You can find problems with each of their performances so far.

MGS4 is getting 50%, lets do this.

BGE2 - Today's Match: SMG > CoD4 Points: 85/116

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't MGS4 the only Japanese-made game in the poll (LBP?)? That alone should push it around 50%.

LBP is english made but japanese published

Albion would win the posting award with ease

this is not something to be proud of!
---

I'd argue there not being cake (in the pic) would be bigger spoilers.

That's probably the best point I've heard you make to date. Kudos.


Anyway, go Portal!

I don't know I think I'm at least in the top five over say the past 50 topics.

Do you manually check or do you have a list somewhere? I'd like to see who posts the most.

I have Windows search through all of the saved pages for a particular name followed by a "|" character. This gives me all the pages that the use posted in or had someone quote them and kept the "|" after their name. This method doesn't actually tell me how many posts a user made, just if they posted in a topic. I've throwing around the idea of writing a program to count how many posts each user has made but I'm not sure when I'll get around to it.

I love you too. But you won't be so self assured when Portal is dominating MGS4.
---
<_<

I just realized that Bioshock and Portal are two of the most quotable games of the last few years (quotable in that non-Resident Evil way, I mean).
---
I, like clockwork, have been humiliated by hochiminh
Hochiminh is better than me. I was a numbskull for thinking I could defy Him.

MGS4 is pretty quotable too. and LBP is voiced by Stephen Fry.

hmm!

I am Andrew Ryan, and I'm here to ask you a question. Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? 'No!' says the man in Washington, 'It belongs to the poor.' 'No!' says the man in the Vatican, 'It belongs to God.' 'No!' says the man in Moscow, 'It belongs to everyone.' I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose... Rapture, a city where the artist would not fear the censor, where the scientist would not be bound by petty morality, Where the great would not be constrained by the small! And with the sweat of your brow, Rapture can become your city as well.

Can't get enough of that. Bioshock is hauntingly atmospheric.

I'm still not sure which game to vote for. I think I'll hold it and vote for the clear third place so I can give the other one a vote next round.

Damn sometimes I amaze even myself.
