Bleh, Assassin's Creed is so mediocre. That game belongs nowhere near the contest. It might be the worst game on this list. I can only hope multiple games per poll get in.

Hmm, if this is a 64 game contest, I think we might only be looking at 4 days of vote-in polls instead of 6 days like with the last contest.

Thinking 64. I'd imagine AC and DMC would easily get in a 128-game bracket.

Rome: Total War is in this poll. I wonder what that means about Medieval: Total War? Hopefully it made the contest without vote-ins; it's a really really great game and I doubt it'll do well in a vote-in based on how RTW is doing.

I'd say 128. Only AC and DMC here seem like games that would be locks for a 128 game bracket.

Not to mention with the sheer number of games listed, I doubt it's 64.

Plus, Bacon likes 128 contests.

This also confirms that we'll get a 128 game bracket.

We're on GameFAQs, man. None of the Total War games are gettin' in, which is a shame but what can you do.

Actually, this poll makes a good case against generational divisions!

I would think DMC3 and AC2 got more nominations than either of the two in the poll anyway.

Possible chance that we might get Wii Sports in one of these polls, depending on if it got enough nominations to make the vote-ins, but not enough to get into the contest without going through the vote-in process.

Seriously, the release dates for these games are all over the map. There's no way it'd make sense to do vote-ins like this unless there were no generational divisions.

So we've got that to look forward to at least!

It was based on raw percentage overall, I think.

Which basically means we won't know until all the vote-ins are complete for the last handful of games.

Vote-ins!

AC's looking good, but after AC2 in the GotYs and Altair/Ezio's last contest, this shouldn't be too surprising. We finally get a read on DMC, too...and, well, it's nothing to go crazy about at this time, but these are just vote-ins. Phoenix Wright might live to see another match to impress with the board-vote, too...depends on the other vote-ins.

I'm still not comfortable buying AC and DMC as games on the fringes of a 128-game bracket. Both games are pretty popular here even ignoring this poll, and I wouldn't necessarily rule out all these other games being closer to reaching the 64-game nom area than the 128-game area.

I'm not sure about that. The 2 5th placers that didn't make it had the lowest out of the 5th placers and none of the 6th placers defeated a 5th placer from another day.

As long as there aren't other Nintendo-games in that poll or face a stacked poll, it should do well enough to place.

DMC does bad in almost every game related poll, and I'm sure the majority of the DMC nominations would have went to 3, not 1. AC is probably because most people nominated the 2nd one, not the 1st. None of these other games I'd expect to be anywhere close to sniffing the 64 game bracket, so thats why I think its 128.
