Drake
won't beat Boss. His appeal is simply too lacking in appeal. His lack
of design appeal is almost appalling and certainly unappealing. --- Yoblazer: http://i38.tinypic.com/2s024p4.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Come on Dragon Age, you can do it. I'll post some Crono/Vincent comparisons as encouragement! Dragon Age currently has 45.22%. At this time, Vincent had 40.80% on Crono in 2007, and finished with 51.42%.

And
TP still won GOTY big time and still did fine in the Games Contest.
Twilight Princess had no choice but to be a massive disappointment
after all that hype though. There was no way it could live up to that.

So, if Dragon Age still does its usual rise after the board vote........epic 3-way battle for Game of the Year? Aww yeah, a possible repeat of last year's GotY. woah all 3 games tied at 75 votes for a second And then again at 228 votes: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 33.33% 76 Dragon Age: Origins 33.33% 76 Uncharted 2: Among Thieves 33.33% 76 TOTAL VOTES 228 Also lol at yesterday's poll failing to out vote the multiplatform poll. The 9-way/10-way polls kind of suck at pulling of good votals, while the 3-way one does better at that. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as KrahenProphet, Guru Champ! |

site was Nintendo/Square happy so why does the GotY poll hold water now? I think Midna probably would have beaten The Boss in a goodie, although not Balthier. --- *is Dranze* Krahen Prophet did a fatality. |

Midna
didn't really disappoint. She ended up equal to Mewtwo, which is about
as much as anyone should have expected. If people were taking her to be
a near-elite or something, well, too bad for them. --- 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.... |

Both those games were still seen as massive disappointments. So is Modern Warfare 2 and look who's losing to it. Again tell me why GotY polls or even games is a good indicator for character strength when that has been disproven for years. If Nathan wins it won't be because Uncharted 2 did well in the GotY, that's a coincidence, it will be because people like the guy. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB8%20BOP.xls Submit bracket here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=52670380 |

At
this point, I think the only argument for Boss really is to bring up
that CATS poll. While Drake did shockingly bad there, I think this
situation calls for a rousing chorus of LOL OUTDATED 4-WAY STATS. --- 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.... |

can also bring up the fact that no normal looking person has ever done

Drake beating The Boss isn't LOL XSTATS territory either. That match is all about "How much did Uncharted 2 boost Drake?" --- "Spoil it for me. I'm never going to play that game so I want to know if he's going to be another Auron or another Sin." - Soul about Jecht vs. PW |

Sure
Uncharted 2 being so popular *should* help Nathan, but it's not like
Uncharted 1 helped him as much as it proportionally *should* have
either. There's no "underestimating casuals" here. People's logic is
based on what we've already seen. --- "Heh, heh...The wind...it is blowing."--Ganondorf This is Yesmar. |

This
poll is far beyond Uncharted 2 not flopping. All three of these games
are Western developed. Gaming has trended Western and casual, and

Well,
the thing is...GameFAQs still loves its old school games, but this gen,
it does tend to support more casual or western games. For example, CoD4
whooped Galaxy, but nearly all of the strongest games in the Games
Contest were old school Japanese-made games. --- "Stay with me until the end. Please." "Not until the end. Always." |

This
is the second time the final GotY poll didn't feature a Japanese game
(2K4 with San Andreas, Half-Life 2, Halo 2, and Prime 2). The funny
thing about 2004 is that today, the biggest Japanese game from that
year, Snake Eater, is stronger than all the finalists. --- Yoblazer: http://i38.tinypic.com/2s024p4.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Japanese
games are dying as a whole; many of them are even starting to model
themselves after Western games because thats where the money is. I'm
looking forward to 10 years when Japanese style games are but a relic. --- http://i48.tinypic.com/24ytvz8.png Albion Hero is the Cream of Lolicon Fanboyism |
