Main
thing I've learned from this contest is even after 10-ish years no
gaming corperation is focused and dedicated enough to spend time and
make a game of FFVII and OoT quality anymore. --- ------ --------- |

From: WarThaNemesis2 | #435 What do you presume comes out in the next five years that overtakes them? Nothing out now is going to get big enough, so you're gambling that something in the next five years becomes that popular? I can't imagine that - not with the way this industry is evolving. --- Meeks54's sig for a stupid pick that had no chance. I even had it coming in first.

And
really, I doubt we need to have OoT crowned a champion of anything
before removing it. Even casuals are smart enough to notice that it
hasn't even come close to losing to anything so far. --- http://thengamer.com/guru/ |

FFX has a slightly better Europe vote than MGS4, a much better morning vote, and a slightly better day vote. A few hundred votes is doable, although the 'clutch' factor is in MGS4's favor. --- http://thengamer.com/guru/ |

I've
thought for years that Division 32/64 was underrated (or the others
were overrated, those amount to the same thing). But how much that
generation was underrated suprised me. RBY, SM64, MGS, Goldeneye, and
of course FFVII and OOT- it looks like FFVII/CT and FFVII/SSBM really
were analogous to Sephiroth/Bowser and Sephiroth/Ganon- not just
smaller versions of what happened there, but really analogous. --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

If
it were one of the other MGS games, sure. But MGS4 has an amazing power
hour and comparatively weak overnight vote- you should be able to bury
a Smash game overnight even if Brawl doesn't have as unbalanced trends
as Melee. --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

Doesn't MGS typically have a better early night vote (1-4 AM) then FFX, though? Maybe. All I know is that FFX got to 1500 on RBY with the night vote, MGS4 couldn't do it against Brawl, whose night vote is worse than RBY's. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside."

What do you presume comes out in the next five years that overtakes them? FFXIII being a massive hit? It could reasonably be significant stronger than MGS4 due to being multi-plat, and it has the hype. --- http://www.philosophynow.org/issue58/58kirby.htm Currently playing: Persona 3 FES |

FFX
ended all of its matches either higher, or in one case, equal to its
power hour end %. MGS4 ended them all lower, except in the first round,
it raised .25, and that was in a match with Portal taking up most of
the power hour percent --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |

...This
just occurred to me, but does anyone else think it's almost impossible
for a bandwagon to form in a Games Contest? Characters are different.
People don't feel nearly as strong about characters as games; exciting
matches temporarily making them vote differently seems a lot easier in
Character Battles. --- http://thengamer.com/guru/ |

That
would be hard to go because if you wanted to try to include the major

I think a bandwagon could form, but only under very exclusive circumstances. Starcraft might have been able to do it if it had the right bracket placement that would give it the illusion of being much stronger than it was. As it was, it looked doomed from the outset, so there was likely no reason to rally behind it. That's the main problem for a bandwagon in general, you'd have to have bracket placement that doesn't cause people to write it off as "Oh well, maybe we can get it through a few rounds, but it'll be crushed in the end". L-Block was special, although you might be able to replicate it with something like... I dunno, Big Rigs, but again, you'd have to find it a place in the bracket where it could last a few rounds for this to kick in. But yes, I'd say it's much, much harder to form a bandwagon in the games contest. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out?

From: KamikazePotato | #485 I've thought this for awhile. I really didn't buy RBY being able to build a bandwagon. The thing with bandwagons is that a big aspect is appeal, and a Tetris block or a giant cube? Why, that'd be hilarious to vote for! Oregon Trail or Battletoads or even RBY just don't have that same appeal. Hell, even blatant joke games like Superman 64 or Shaq Fu wouldn't do well either since they aren't a big enough name. The only game I could see developing a bandwagon is Duke Nukem Forever, and even then I wouldn't have faith in it. And of course there's the possibility it'll never get released in the first place. --- Wylvane's current main account. |

Yes,
sir! True satisfaction! That's what discipline brings! Even the five
court ladies dancing to frog flutes and drums had it, and so did the
whirlwind of recycled paper! Computer graphics playing in my head and I
like it! I don't support Technicolor parfaits and those snobby little
petit forks that sit there uneaten, and my position on that is common
knowledge to everyone in Oceania. Now the time has come to return to
the great blue sky, where confetti falls like stardust and everyone
shaking around the shrine gates with the mailbox and the refridgerator
leading the hip hop festival! Anyone who is concerned about expiration
dates, step aside now! No one gets in the way of my glory train! They
need to really analyze all of the livers of the triangle goose party!
Ahhh! This whole festival was put together by twenty third-graders with
lotsa hutspa and one panda! You see?! Now I am... truly grand! The
ultimate one! --- The Ohio State Buckeyes 2005-2008 Big Ten Champions! |
