Also, anyone notice that the wording is different this year? It's best downloadable CONSOLE game.

I hope we don't get a downloadable portable poll.

Clearly this means Uncharted 2 is terrible. I mean, Comet Crash is doing worse against FFIV: After Years than against Uncharted 2 despite NO SFF.

Comet Crash, yes.


I'm glad this poll was ran again. If FF4:AY reaches the overall-GotY like MM9 last year, we'll get to see it fight with Dissidia and KH358/2...might be fun, maybe-sorta. If not, at the least, we'll get to see if the it can beat J&D or Sims 3 despite being the downloadable-GotY.

The MMORPG-poll will probably be run too since it's been a yearly tradition for awhile, so I hope the remake-GotY is cut (I can't say that enough).

5 votes actually.

its also a 50%+ win by WoW every year. boring.

Plus, the winner of Best Running MMORPG doesn't get to move onto the actual GotY poll.

I'm be comfortable with the MMORPG-GotY if WoW just got different competition each year, honestly...but it hardly ever changes. That's the nature of the genre.

It'll be interesting to see how some of these games predict FF4:AY to do against ODST and Uncharted 2.

The PSP poll was 4180 by the end of the first hour and ended up finishing at 49382. Today, we have 4280 at the end of the first hour, so it will probably end up around 50000-51000.

I hope Bacon puts Comet Crash into the Overall GotY poll as a joke.

Completely forgot about FF4:TAY. If I remembered that, of course I'd have predicted it to win. Shadow Complex isn't doing too bad, though, especially for being a downloadable game not from a big franchise like FF and Mega Man. I guess all that hype paid off. Still need to beat it myself.

Comet Crash appears to be doing a bit better in this topic. It's not even halfway into the poll yet and Comet Crash already has 153 votes, which is slightly more than half of the 295 votes it got in the PS3 poll. Granted, the PS3 poll's votals are going to be higher than this one. Of course, Comet Crash is doing only slightly better percentage wise here when the overall competition today is weaker than that of the PS3 poll.

Weird thing is that Comet Crash is performing almost exactly as expected. Using Fat Princess it is currently getting 1.06% on Uncharted 2, not far from the 1.09% it got a few days ago.

I looked it up, and its a strategy game that doesn't seem to have any characters sadly.

That may sound a good idea at first until you realize you risk having a good game with ACTUAL popularity not making it because you desperately want a new tanner.

Well gosh-darn.

On a side-note, just going back to the Altair/Ezio-argument, I noticed they're both two-seeds...considering they each have one game to their names as the star of the same new series, I think that's pretty impressive that they both got such equally big support. We don't know what Altair's seed was last year and we know nominations =/= strength, but it's worth pointing out.

I think Altair's seed says more about people remembering him but I don't think it says anything about him gaining considerably. Ezio/Altair actually might have similar strength by just looking the same.

Whatever ends up not making the contest because Comet Crash is in its spot was going to be a 16 seed and get first round beat anyway. May as well go for a record low percentage.

Halo and that's it.

And my point is that I'd rather take the supposed-to-be game entrant over Comet Crash because regardless of winning, it at least provides us with a more stronger field.

Besides, even if Comet Crash got in, it'd be out the door the very next moment once SB gave us the "Add/Remove" option again.

I'm not sure if I've ever seen a worse case of franchise voting than today's poll. FF4-2 is pretty horrible, but since these games are all new IPs or obscure, it gets the vote of people who are like "uhhhh I'll pick Final Fantasy"

waste of a day right here. Shadow Complex is the true most popular game here, woo.

Starcraft could still beat Halo and Wind Waker- they've probably fallen as far as it has.

And putting Comet Crash in Starcraft's 2004 spot would be the worst possible place for it. It'd get get like 20% just from Halo anti-votes there.
