well, Portal looks good but it's not over.

lol LBP, guess I was wrong about it not getting killed by MGS4

though I guess this could be its natural strength which means I'm even more wrong

Hmm, good start for both Portal and MGS4. Depending on how much Portal falls off from here, Bioshock still has a great shot.

woo mgs4 and lol lbp

Let's see how things go on the next update. BioShock is still within reach and it basically stalled Portal after the first couple of minutes.

If Bioshock doesn't at least start doing some major percentage shifting at the next update, it's done.

Bioshock stalling at the last update?

MGS4 looks bad here, Halo 3 > Fallout 3? Maybe, but wait until after the board vote.

I don't see why anyone would object, but there is actually a slight chance he'd get modded for that.

For the record, Big Daddy beat Balthier outright with the ASV, so yeah, BioShock should be fine.

BioShock is doing fine right now, as it's pretty close to what I predicted for it in the Oracle. Though, my MGS4 > BioShock pick can still happen here.

MnMZero | Posted 5/6/2009 9:10:34 PM | message detail
Actually, never mind. Hadn't looked at the poll since the first min. Bioshock is doing fine so it must be LBP.

One thing I have to say about LBP. As much "hype" as it got, and for it being based on user-made content, it still is a PS3 platformer. I mean, all of the PS2 platformers were weak on GameFAQs... why wouldn't LBP follow suit?

Portal died off just a bit, but hardly any of it went to Bioshock. I still think Portal's got a huge edge at this point.

LeonhartFour | Posted 5/6/2009 9:11:39 PM | message detail
Big Daddy did pretty much the same after his board vote until the DSV, when he jumped up noticeably, and then even more with the ASV. Sure, it's different from BioShock itself, but I doubt it's much different.

And that update didn't tell us much of anything.

I find it funny that people think this way. Portal and Bioshock were the two biggest games to come out in their year. Why did everyone expect them to be weak?

Typically, things are looking bad for your cause if you're counting on the ASV to bail out something like Bioshock.

All it told us is that it mgiht not be as big of a win for Portal as the board vote, not that Bioshock still stands a chance.

That was only a 41 vote gain despite the fact the board vote should still be pretty strong right now. This could turn ugly later on once we get near the end of the Power Hour.

Partially, yeah. I'm willing to admit that Portal and BioShock are probably stronger than I thought, but still, I'd consider it disappointing if it didn't break 40% here.

Those are the 2 5 minute updates. Naturally it's not getting the 40% it got after the poll opened.

Good news! I'm still at 95 points, tied for 50th right now. If MGS4 > Portal remains this way, then I should finally make the leaderboard and gain some credibility around here.
