From: ZFS | #295 This is a surprisingly accurate description of the Silent Hill series, although Silent Hill 1 and 2 are only very loosely connected. --- Meeks54's sig for a stupid pick that had no chance.

From: redrocket | #298 And you see Vault Boy constantly in Fallout 3, as in every time you go to the menu. Anyone who's played FO3 will recognize him, and his character design is unique and distinctive enough to get other people interested and vote for him. He has more appeal than just FO3 voters, which is already a decent base to draw votes from. --- Wylvane's current main account. |

Not
to mention you see Vault-tec posters everywhere with him on them, plus
you can collect 20 vault boy bobbleheads in the game, and his icon
appears everywhere. He's the symbol of the game, like Cube is the
symbol of Portal. --- http://www.xboxlc.com/cards/blue2/Albion%20Hero.jpg http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/kotaku/2009/04/scorpion_wb.jpg |

From: MyWorldIsCrono | #310 Except Vault Boy's around from the very beginning of FO3 while you don't even meet WCC until the latter half of Portal. He'd also be a lot of fun for pic-makers, since there's a lot to use even with just achievement/trophy pictures, all but one of which includes Vault Boy. That's more than even some of the biggest characters here. --- Wylvane's current main account. |

Plus
with alot of popular western games, they lack a central character
people can vote for. Like we see how popular CoD4 is, but th eres not a
character you can really vote for from it. But Vault Boy I'd consider a
good proxy for Fallout 3 fans. I mean he's not gonna be a powerhouse or
anything, but not fodder either. --- http://www.xboxlc.com/cards/blue2/Albion%20Hero.jpg http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/kotaku/2009/04/scorpion_wb.jpg |
The n00b Avenger | Posted 5/28/2009 10:25:32 PM | message detail |
I
really liked the first Shadow Hearts, had a really interesting
atmosphere for an RPG. Overall a pretty twisted plot with slight humor
thrown in there. Reason I didn't like 2 as much is because they took the interesting dark humor and atmosphere and turned it into a bunch of toilet humor --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |

So, am I just crazy, or does this actually look pretty good for OoT, all things considered? I mean it has 39% right now, will probably rise to heaven with the ASV, and all this in spite of RBY at 24%, which you would think would have been at the expense of OoT more than anything else in the poll. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out?

MyWorldIsCrono | Posted 5/28/2009 10:26:42 PM | message detail |
From: xp1337 | #331 It will likely fall to like 37% over night, then rise back to 39% --- http://www.xboxlc.com/cards/blue2/Albion%20Hero.jpg http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/kotaku/2009/04/scorpion_wb.jpg |
xp1337 | Posted 5/28/2009 10:27:51 PM | message detail |
Even
if it stayed at 39%, RBY is still putting up great numbers, which
again, you'd think would have "hurt" OoT the most, and in spite of
that, 39% isn't that bad. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? SC2k6 (190/240) 99.4958 Percentile |

This is a weaker 4pack yesterday though, so I would have to still see low 40s to see it compare at all to FF7 --- http://www.xboxlc.com/cards/blue2/Albion%20Hero.jpg http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/kotaku/2009/04/scorpion_wb.jpg |

If OoT fails to match FF7 despite FF8 doing this unbelievably atrocious...well, let's just say it ain't impressive. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
KamikazePotato | Posted 5/28/2009 10:29:12 PM | message detail |
Although,
be forewarned: SH1 is very archaic. Nothing game-breaking, and
everything else more than makes up for it, but don't except any sort of
seamless gameplay. --- http://thengamer.com/guru/ |
LeonhartFour | Posted 5/28/2009 10:29:16 PM | message detail |
So...barring a Diablo II upset tomorrow, we'll likely get OoT/RBY/SSBM/FFX. How does that one go? We know FFX used massive Nintendo LFF to its advantage to do very well in the Game of the Century poll, but that thing's worthless here. --- http://www.court-records.net/animation/phoenix-superobjection.gif |

2005? was that before or after 2 came out. I have no idea when I got it. |

If OoT fails to match FF7 despite FF8 doing this unbelievably atrocious...well, let's just say it ain't impressive. Admittedly, that does offset it a bit, yes. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? SC2k6 (190/240) 99.4958 Percentile |

Gameplay
isn't a make-or-break in RPGs for me. I'd have never made it through
Skies of Arcadia otherwise! It's all about story and characters! --- http://www.court-records.net/animation/phoenix-superobjection.gif |

Leon
likes FF8, I don't think it'll be a problem. SH1 is a PS1 RPG through
and through. if you can still play FF8, SH1 will be no trouble at all. --- xyzzy http://img.imgcake.com//chewing.jpg |

Huh, lets say there is a Diablo 2 upset for whatever reason. Now thats gonna be an interesting match.. --- http://www.xboxlc.com/cards/blue2/Albion%20Hero.jpg http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/kotaku/2009/04/scorpion_wb.jpg |

I played SH before FFX. It was the 2nd RPG I played on the system >_> --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
LeonhartFour | Posted 5/28/2009 10:32:21 PM | message detail |
I'd
have a hard time seeing KH upset FFX tomorrow. That's about the least
likely result, I think. SFF situations usually don't turn themselves
around. Heck, Sora still couldn't beat Squall by throwing Cloud in the
mix. --- http://www.court-records.net/animation/phoenix-superobjection.gif |
ZFS | Posted 5/28/2009 10:32:57 PM | message detail |
And
OoT > FFX should be the favored result there. I think it would've
been no matter what happened today, so long as FFVIII lost. --- http://i41.tinypic.com/30djz83.gif |
