If MGS4 gets to 45%, I will be flat out amazed. It hasn't even had a 45% update yet.

Yeah, I can't overstate my satisfaction.

I think 43% is about its cap. It will fall during the day most likely.

And Portal with it's best update since the freeze.

Aww yeah.

Wow.

This is like watching someone at a deli shave off a tiny bit of meat to test the slicer before digging in and carving stuff up.

God what the hey happened? Portal is a great game, but it is a bit short, and yet, it is beating a full-fledged FPS adventure??? Though my younger brother likes playing Portal (he likes FPSs, to be fully honest).

Okay, nothing TOO wrong with that, I suppose.

Now I will predict tomorrow's match, which is the last and final match of round 1. We don't know anything about Fallout 3, Halo 3, Left 4 Dead, and Mass Effect. I'm looking at Fallout 3 as the big giant right now since it's one of my friends' favorite games and won loads of Game of the Year awards due to its open-world gameplay and awesome story. After that comes the other competitors. Halo 3 was massively hyped, but since this is Halo the hype will probably backfire and contradict the great performances that Half-Life 2 and Call of Duty 4 put up. Because of that, I'm taking a risky direction and prediction Mass Effect for 2nd! I mean, Halo 1 almost lost to Knights of the Old Republic, and we can assume that Halo 3 and Mass Effect are proportional to their predecessors. Halo 3 will split votes will Left 4 Dead, allowing Mass Effect to sneak through! Wait, isn't Mass Effect going to lose votes to Fallout 3? Uhm, wasn't Knights of the Old Republic losing votes to Diablo II? Yeah, I'm game for a risky upset.

Prediction: Fallout 3 > Mass Effect
Fallout 3 - 35% Halo 3 - 20% Left 4 Dead - 15% Mass Effect - 30%
Bracket: Fallout 3 > Halo 3
Favorites: Fallout 3 > Mass Effect (don't really care about 2nd place, though)

and Ninja Gaiden.... maybe even Metroid

Seriously where will we get that with them gone.

...Speaking of which, the fact that a game can advance with less than 10% of the vote is a disgusting mockery of what these contests should stand for - and we have the division by generations to blame for it!

OK, but being the last match of round 1 means some weird **** might happen. That's how it was in every contest since Spring 2005.

At this pace, Portal is gonna have too big of a lead come the day for Bioshock to do anything about it.

Bioshock needs to step it up. Being down by 500 2 hours in is not a good sign.

Woah @ 58% picking CoD4.

Congrats to hochi on making it back home :)

Now that I look at the leaderboard, it seems to be more weighted towards FF7 than last time I remember.

I'm seeing this another possible wow/halo 2 thing. Portal might be just too strong that even during the day, Bioshock might do nothing but stall it

Well, Portal and BioShock are both tremendous games. I voted MGS4, but either one would be a great game to advance. BioShock would help my bracket though...

Yesterday's chart:

Time | CoD 4 | Poke. D/P | Galaxy | T. Fortress 2 | Demographic
EBV | 34.60% | 23.85% | 29.04% | 12.51% | (0:00-0:05)
PHV | 33.92% | 22.52% | 28.96% | 14.60% | (0:00-1:00)
FNV | 34.68% | 23.36% | 28.79% | 13.16% | (1:00-6:00)
BSV | 33.86% | 23.91% | 29.69% | 12.54% | (6:00-9:00)
DSV | 35.38% | 22.52% | 30.41% | 11.69% | (9:00-14:30)
ASV | 37.45% | 24.16% | 26.77% | 11.63% | (14:30-22:00)
SNV | 37.90% | 22.98% | 26.51% | 12.61% | (22:00-24:00)

Call of Duty has a strong board vote, but the morning vote was its worst time. Strong ASV and second night vote though. Man, did you ever think you'd see a major Nintendo game do so badly during the ASV? Galaxy really struggled there. Its best time was the DSV, a time when games with bad day votes usually thrive. D/P has a good ASV, like every other Pokemon, but it's pretty balanced all around. TF2 had a bad board vote but a good Power Hour. Strange combination. It did badly once we hit daylight.

Yesterday's stats:

Call of Duty 4 – 50.00%
Super Mario Galaxy – 44.30%
Pokemon Diamond/Pearl – 39.53%
Team Fortress 2 – 25.63%

Hmm... I'm kinda disappointed by Portal, it's not getting *quite* as close to MGS4 as I was touting (though it's certainly getting closer than most any other sane person expected it to). I'm most impressed by Bioshock though, never got a good read on it and thought it might flop on the level of LBP, whose performance here was pretty telegraphed.

MGS4 isn't doing much to inspire a reversal of that match against Brawl, but it's doesn't look like it's showing vulnerability to, say, Fallout 3. It'll need a big performance tomorrow to gain any sort of favorite status.

Bioshock is definitely showing day trends. It's even on the verge of dipping below 22% (who would have thought?!). Anyway, this is a pretty good showing from MGS4. I still think that GotY final was an overperformance and that Brawl would handle it more easily in a setting like this one, but yeah, Fallout 3 has to smash faces to be considered a realistic threat.

I, like clockwork, have been humiliated by hochiminh
Hochiminh is better than me. I was a numbskull for thinking I could defy Him.

hmm, Portal's gonna need to drop 2% *and* Bioshock's gotta rise 2%. Portal didn't die off like I thought it might.

I guess I'll jump ship and back Portal here. it'll have a comparatively bad day vote but nothing hideous, I think. conversely, Bioshock's not going to be a day god, just better.

Hi guys.

Computer has been on the fritz lately, so i couldnt get on for a while.

So I took a look at the matches I missed, so theres a GTA game that advances this time. Seems this site doesn't hate all FPS games as Call of Duty 4 advanced too.

Now today's match seems to have surprised a lot of people thought Portal was gonna be dead last but no it's in 2nd now above Bioshock.

To be honest i have not played any of the games in this match, but i would definitely try out Metal Gear Solid 4 if I didn't have to buy a PS3.

Oh yeah, Street Fighter 4 looked like ASS, struggling with frigging PERSONA (for the entire day, no less!) in a match where the lead never even got past 300 votes (between them, that is; SF4 beat Persona by a mere 7 votes). And Mario Galaxy embarrassed itself.

"Here I go! Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia

I see why The Orange Box boosted Gordon and why Half-Life 2 is looked at with such high regard. The final hour of Episode 2 is a great game maker at the height of their craft. There's no way HL2 as a whole didn't increase from that.

Am I off in thinking Fallout 3 has a chance to beat the percentage that Metal Gear Solid 4 has here tomorrow? I can see it SFFing just about everything in that pack to get a good score.

It essentially has elements of all three games it's up against, so I guess it's possible.

The Straight Up G
The Palace of Wisdom Hardcore Legend and Board 8er Masa/Hiko

It's not impossible, but Fallout 3 is a weaker game than MGS4, so its opponents will have to be a clear notch below these guys. There won't be any game as weak as LBP, and if GTAIV is any indication, Halo 3 might be the strongest Halo game, or at least right up there with the others.
