I actually added that on LL a few years ago. It was how I was able to dig it up and find it. And Games =/= Characters, but let's keep talking about how Uncharted 2 doing as expected will give Drake one of the largest boosts in GameFAQs history! --- Not Wylvane |

If
his game wasn't too far off from ratchet's, then all he has to really
blame is appeal. Not even ratchet would get blown out by CATS. --- *is Dranze* Krahen Prophet did a fatality. |

Probably 50-60k. This hasn't been a great year overall for games though.

I'd
be interested in seeing the Game of the Decade extended back to 1990. I
know Gamefaqs didn't have GOTY polls before 1999, so let's go with this: 1990: Super Mario Bros. 3 1991: Final Fantasy IV 1992: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past 1993: Star Fox 1994: Final Fantasy VI 1995: Chrono Trigger 1996: Super Mario 64 1997: Final Fantasy VII 1998: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 1999: Final Fantasy VIII 2000: Final Fantasy IX (There wasn't a GOTY poll....I figure FFIX probably would have won if there had been one) 2001: Final Fantasy X 2002: Metroid Prime 2003: The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker 2004: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas 2005: Resident Evil 4 2006: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess 2007: Super Mario Galaxy 2008: Super Smash Bros. Brawl' 2009: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (or whatever wins) --- 6 years later, Crono's quest to defeat Sephiroth -- Round 1: Missingno 'Till shade is gone, 'till water is gone, into the shadow with teeth bared.... |

From: Lightslayer987 | #272 45% on this competition? This is like Altair's 43% against Guybrush, Isaac, and Lucario last year. Looked pretty impressive at first, but stick him against real competition, and suddenly, he doesn't look so good. Granted, if Drake is as strong as Altair, he beats The Boss, but I don't think he will be. Plus, there's characters =/= games and all that. --- "So cold. I am always by your side."

There ain't a single game in this poll besides Uncharted that would be anything than awful fodder. As a big R&C fan, this makes me sad, but it's the truth. --- "So cold. I am always by your side." "There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!" |

Well,
Uncharted currently has 86% on Ratchet and Clank. How weak is Ratchet
and Clank? If it's the games equivalent of CATS, that means Uncharted
is the games equivalent of........Cloud. --- 6 years later, Crono's quest to defeat Sephiroth -- Round 1: Missingno 'Till shade is gone, 'till water is gone, into the shadow with teeth bared.... |

Ratchet got quadrupled by Dante many years ago. Got tripled by Luigi when Luigi was only getting 40% on Squall. He's pretty bad. --- "I can set you free, mate." "My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |

Hate
to bring up the Gamespot goty poll again, but it did tell us Fallout 3
would beat GTA4 last year, and Uncharted 2 is dominating that goty poll

I'd
like to see the final poll before jumping to conclusions. Uncharted 2
has a good position because it'll be the only PS3 game, its PS2
counterpart (I already forgot what won the PS2 poll) is weaksauce, it
won't overlap much with the PSP winner, and MW2 and ODST should overlap
quite a bit. If it doesn't hit the top three despite that, it'll be a
bit of a letdown. --- Yoblazer: http://i38.tinypic.com/2s024p4.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

y'all are nuts. just sayin'. Uncharted 2's doing a nice job here but it's against a bunch of new IPs, weak IPs and ports. it's not a weak poll compared to the other system polls, but compared to the multiplatform GOTY this is kind of a joke. wait until the final GOTY before saying anything definitive here. this is far from the only PS3 game. only PS3 exclusive? sure. but that's like saying ODST or whatever wins the 360 poll is the only 360 game. there is going to be heavy overlap with Modern Warfare 2 or whatever wins the multiplatform GOTY. the only game that will really stand out is Mario Wii. honestly, there should be more than one multiplatform game in the final GOTY. RE5, Batman and MW2 all belong there. so does Dragon Age. --- xyzzy |
