LOD
was Sony's FF7 and had a ton of hype. it sucked hard but a lot of
people played it. this site is still an RPG site first and foremost and
we love us some PS1 RPGs. just look at Chrono Cross hanging with the
big boys in Game of the Decade. --- xyzzy |

It
was actually a pretty big name RPG. It was advertised as "THE FINAL
FANTASY KILLER"(yeah we all know how that turned out) and it came out
at the time where RPGs enjoyed the height of their popularity. --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |

I
dunno but I find more and more people that have played it all the time.
But you know what? Nobody really even liked it. It may have had a
buncha people playing it but I only know like two that enjoyed it. --- http://8board.webs.com/sylar.jpg |

If
Mario Kart could only end the power hour with a TIE, then it has no
chance. Mario titles typically drop in percentage the entire day from
the board vote. --- AlbionHero http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |

From: NoDicePwn | #155 No, they don't. Mario games have fantastic morning votes, just like everything Mario. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |

No, they don't. Mario games have fantastic morning votes, just like everything Mario. I should rephrase it then. I meant they always drop from the % that it ends up after the power hour. So Mario Kart won't end up at 14% when the poll is over. --- AlbionHero http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |

I
think there's something to be learned from this though. LOD is
currently beating 2005's #2 game. sure, 2005 sucked balls, but LOD
presumably isn't even close to the top games of 2000. GameFAQs will
always be stuck in the past! --- xyzzy |

I
didn't think it was all that great but yeah, lots of people played it.

I hope to god he doesn't do this by year. Considering that we could only have 8 divisions of games in the bracket and the contest spans 10 years worth of games, there can't be one division for each year. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Dr_Football, Guru Champ! |

why's that? you could bracket off each year and combine a couple of years together to make it work. or worse yet: n64/gamecube division ps3/psp division dreamcast division ps1/ps2 division pc division gba division xbox/xbox 360 division ds division --- xyzzy |

LeonhartFour | Posted 9/28/2010 10:20:12 PM | message detail |
From: transience | #170 I dunno. If he's planning on doing things by year or by console, why wouldn't he have vote-ins of games only from the year 2000 or only on the Dreamcast? The fact that these polls all have variety seems to indicate there's no such grouping or it makes them kind of pointless (or if you got more noms than a game that won a vote-in but you were made in the same year then tough luck to you). Either way, I don't think it's happening. --- http://img.imgcake.com/ultigardenpngba.png |

n64/gamecube division ps3/psp division dreamcast division ps1/ps2 division pc division gba division xbox/xbox 360 division ds division You missed Wii in there. I suppose Wii could be thrown in with DS. But yeah, that's a bad idea. Tons of SFF matches would result from that. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Dr_Football, Guru Champ! |

I didn't miss the Wii, it's called the Gamecube heyoooooo --- xyzzy |
-LusterSoldier- | Posted 9/28/2010 10:28:54 PM | message detail |
I didn't miss the Wii, it's called the Gamecube I know the Wii can play GameCube games, but the GameCube couldn't play Wii games. And for games released for both the Wii and GameCube, those games would be placed into whichever division the game is best associated with. Twilight Princess had higher game sales for the Wii version than the GameCube version and it is more popular on the Wii, so that game would be thrown in the Wii/DS division. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Dr_Football, Guru Champ! |

anyone agree with me that having Jet Grind Radio here means that other

vote ins? --- AlbionHero http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |

LoD
is doing really bad in Europe. I know that votes will shift once more
Europeans start coming in, but MKDS is doubling it there. I'm not sure
that it'll be able to turn that one around. --- "Ahem! There is *sand* on my *boot*!"--Kefka Dr. Football beat me, Yesmar in the 2010 Guru Contest! |
-LusterSoldier- | Posted 9/28/2010 10:49:53 PM | message detail |
The
percentages for Europe can still change quite a bit over the rest of
this poll, because there are still very few votes from Europe. Which
you can tell based on a 3-way tie for first, and 2 other 2-way ties. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Dr_Football, Guru Champ! |

As
someone who thinks Mario Kart DS is a rubbish game, I have to say:
there's no reason why it shouldn't be in the lead right now. Seriously,
I honestly hadn't even heard of The Legend of Dragoon until today. (Voted for Ikaruga, by the way!) --- Watch Fox's RUNNING WILDE, airing Tuesdays at 9:30 EST! Will Arnett and Keri Russell in the same show - how can you top that?!? |

Anyone
else surprised at how well Ninja Gaiden is doing? Considering how weak
the original looked in the last games competition, this is kind of a
cool surprise. Also awesome: Jet Grind Radio isn't dying! --- Watch Fox's RUNNING WILDE, airing Tuesdays at 9:30 EST! Will Arnett and Keri Russell in the same show - how can you top that?!? |

How
Legend of Dragoon is winning this poll is rather astonishing to me. But
I'm glad SWBFII is in third at the moment. At least it's showing
strength by currently being close to one of the best-selling Mario Kart
games IMO. --- Elephant Talk: A New Kind Of Music Blog! http://elephantmusictalk.blogspot.com/ |
