GameFAQs Contests

You know for a match I knew nothing about my prediction was pretty good.

Too bad Mass Effect isn't doing a bit better and Left 4 Dead isn't doing a bit worse.

BGE2 - Today's Match: Fallout 3 > Halo 3 Points: 89/124

Fallout is underperforming a bit relative to expectations, but if anything, that makes the MGS4 > Fallout second round result even more locked down.

I seem to recall Fallout 3 rising to heaven after the opening vote in the GOTY polls so maybe it'll continue that streak here.

everything looks.. okay, I guess. Fallout 3's path is almost definitely sealed so there's nothing to see here.

If I remember correctly in the Goty Polls, Fallout 3 started off slow and then started going up after a couple updates.

Why do you say that? The NES and earlier divisions were worse (especially 1989-1991 - half of the division got either 10% or less!)!

Well, by 'top tier' I mean games people at least care about, not necessarily that MM2 and Tetris are going to be uber strong contest entries!

Metal Gear Solid 4 managed a good vote total, which makes it look like a high midcarder or something right now. However, Portal only managed about 26k votes and did not make the top 50, which doesn't bode well for it in round 2. After today the full list will be ready for reference!

darn it is this going to be my running gag now

I think MM2 > Tetris is still possible.....we don't really have a good gauge on the relative strength of DK/Punch-Out/Fodder I can't remember vs. Pac-Man/Oregon Trail/Pong. And it's possible that MM2 was hurt considerably by its picture.

Fallout 3 might go up, but I wouldn't expect as drastic a performance as in the GOTY. MGS4 and SSBB are two huge board favored games.

I'd say L4D has a good chunk to lose, though. I wouldn't be surprised when this is over if its in high teens.

Mega Man 2 did have a harder four-pack plus Pac-Man will probably hurt Tetris...

There were at least interesting games I cared about there, and a couple of strong games. I can say neither for the 2004-2009 divisions. I don't mind seeing blowouts- I've always enjoyed Link and Cloud blasting apart their competition for several rounds trying to one-up each other before their epic confrontation.
---
Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests.

One thing about Fallout 3, though. I can see it being the type of game to not pull in huge amounts of percentage, but still doing well in matches with "Stronger" opponents. Since Gamefaqs dosen't have the fanbase yet to fully support a game like Fallout 3. But if it has the power to pull in 35%, that might be good enough in closer matches.

Hmm, I suppose this could be true.

Indeed, most of us have.

Any match where Tetris can get break half the votes though is a pretty weakass match.

(hell that might be true even in 1v1!)

Both the old and new divisions are pretty bad I'd say. LoZ/SMB/SMB3>anything in the new divisions, but other than that I'd rather see the new divisions than the old.

Still not sure this means Halo 3 > Halo. Halo being hurt by KotoR and perhaps even GTA3 is a possibility. Not sure why Halo 2 did like ass, though.

DK should hurt Tetris as much as Pac-Man should, honestly. I won't completely rule out Mega Man 2 winning, but Tetris outperformed it by 20%. Is Mega Man's fourpack 20% stronger?

Ehhh.
---
http://www.court-records.net/animation/phoenix-superobjection.gif

CoD4 proved to be a potentially pretty strong game and it only beat Halo 3 with about 60% in both of its polls against it in GotY 2007

Of course, Call of Duty 4 > Fallout 3 has some pretty steep inclinations if you judge by GotY polls that are pretty hard to swallow such as putting Galaxy and Brawl back on par with each other. So nevermind.. I guess
---
A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice.

Tetris is going to beat MM2 easily. It's ****ing Tetris! Seriously, I think only Mario, Tetris, and Pokemon R/B/Y can use that argument. Everyone has played them, everyone loved them.
