GameFAQs Contests

Bioshock got 35.47% against CoD4 in 2007
Bioshock is getting 36.02% against MGS4, it will probably be lower by the end.

Also Portal is dying again.

Board 8 got stomped by the casuals.

Again:

B8: 0
Casuals: 1

The score is waaaaaay worse.

Epic Portal collapse, but like before, none of it is going where it needs to go. It's almost like Portal wants to be third and Bioshock is like "I'm cozy here right now."

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

Team Fortress's performance did worry me, if just a bit. They were both packaged together - even if Portal is stronger (and it clearly is), there's still a limit as to how much stronger it can be.

OK...But how much worse? Exactly how bad are we talking here?

They were also packaged with Half Life 2 which beat FFXII.

Okay, time for the vote totals. Call of Duty 4 ended up with over 40k votes, and currently seems to be the strongest PC/Xbox game by a pretty good margin. Super Mario Galaxy, on the other hand, managed unnaturally low vote totals compared to the other games in the series. Methinks the same is true with Wind Waker as well, and the only explanation is that both games were SFFd or LFFd to the ground, preventing us from seeing their true strength. According to vote totals however, Super Mario Galaxy would still beat every GTA and Halo game, as well as Final Fantasy Tactics/IX/XII, but would lose to stuff like Mortal Kombat II, Diablo II, Half-Life 2, StarCraft, Metal Gear Solid 2, Link's Awakening, etc. There's no way that SMG is actually this weak, especially when you look at how the rest of the Super Mario series did with vote totals.

But Half-Life 2 sold millions before the Orange Box.

I dunno, I recall the casuals destroying us on Sonic > SF2, Doom, Contra, etc.

And if you pair up GlaDOS's trend with Big Daddy's, BioShock likely wins this easily. I'm just happy Portal didn't turn out to be some joke flop like some people thought it would be.

Oh, and I guess to compare Portal to GlaDOS, the Power Hour was by far her best time. She didn't drop off big time until morning though, which is when BioShock should get going. Portal should be safe for tonight, so we'll have to see what kind of lead it can build. WCC has joke trends, so forget that.

You mean like how WCC dropped 3-4% in every single one of its matches?

Turtle's going to be gloating about Call of Duty for a while. Yet for some reason he wants us to give him a counter example not even minutes later.

I was wrong; Bioshock's a day thing.

hmm. 50/50 match, I think.

Team Fortress's performance did worry me, if just a bit. They were both packaged together - even if Portal is stronger (and it clearly is), there's still a limit as to how much stronger it can be.

TF2 being an online only game is a huge disadvantage.

I think I deserve it for correctly calling both Brawl > Galaxy and CoD > Galaxy

And I'm liking this CoD/MGS4 matchup. As long as Halo isn't there, should be a close match.
