You people are freaking insane if you think Sunshine is doing anything. Look at how Galaxy bombed, then multiply that by about three.


Yeah, but these are the people who are picking Pac-Man over Halo, so here's what you get!

From: UltimaterializerX | #396
Have you played Demon's Souls?

Not saying it matters or anything, but I'm inclined to believe you. Okami feels like the right pick.


I have not.

But I'm not confident it even beats MM9 yet.

Man, the more I look, the more the Northeast Division scares the **** out of me. ToS/GoW could be much closer than I expected, GTA3 could be on MP's level, and HL2 looks more impressive than I thought.

Time to compare how Oblivion and HL2 did on TP!

If it was up against practically anything but Halo, I'd agree. But then I couldn't help myself. And then I had it against SA2. I didn't have much choice!

I was trying to pick against Sunshine, it just kept facing Halo games.

Halo failed to beat Wind Waker with Melee in the poll. Halo 2 trailed Okami until the morning vote. Halo 3 lost to Portal.

Demon's Souls isn't the most well-known thing, but if you're on GameFAQs and don't know about it, that's your fault. It sold 500k+ around the world, most of that in America, and won GameSpot's GotY award.

Its division? Nothing that I can see. For a moment I picked Metroid Prime over it in the division finals but then I came back to reality and had it winning again.

Losing to Portal isn't a bad thing.

I would take SFFd Wind Waker over Sunshine in a heartbeat. Sunshine could be Bottom 10 in the bracket.

Not necessarily with ease. It's not a guaranteed win over Prime, I don't think. 47.78% on FFXII is hardly "unbeatable."

Preach on, brotha RP. If you thought Halo cemented its legacy against Hayabusa, you ain't seen nothin' yet. Seriously, this is tailor made for Comicus Maximus. Just put Mario in your brackets now and save yourselves the heartache. It'll be much easier to laugh when you're getting bracket points as well!

Hmmm, a quick Wiki and looking at that GotY poll:

- PS3 exclusive
- Sold like crap
- I've never heard of it and I consider myself a pretty hardcore gamer

Yeah, no thanks. Mega Man 9 is going to destroy it then go on to eek out a victory over Okami.

It totally could. When I said I feel terrible about picking SA2 to win any match, I mean it. I may have it in Round 3, but I expect it to bomb in Round 1.

...Yes, this means I'd have no choice but to expect Persona 4 to beat SA2 as well. It wouldn't shock me!

Uh, no. That's factually wrong. Demon's Souls sold over 500k, that's probably more than MM9 did. And MGS4 is a PS3 exclusive too, that doesn't matter that much anymore.

R3: Oblivion got 38.96% on TP.

Maybe in its worst match. RE4 nearly beat TP in their Round 2 match. In fact, HL2's 39% on TP looks a lot worse when you note that it only got 41% on KHII. TP stunk up the joint in that match.

if LOLVgchartz is to be believed, Demon's Souls has sold 750,000 so far, 400k of that in America.

Point on HL2, but Metroid Prime's performance was way worse than anything it did. The real struggle will be against ToS or GoW.

MGS4 belongs to one of the top 5 series on this site. Mega Man 9 also does. MM9 definitely sold more than 500k across all platforms, and has since also had MM10. Okami beating it is a decent pick. Demon's Souls however is not. inFamous, Uncharted 2 and Demon's Souls are probably going to be in the bottom 30 of the stats when it's all said and done.

I just took Crisis Core over FFXII entirely because it had Final Fantasy VII listed in its name in the bracket. If it was just "Crisis Core", I'd take FFXII easily. But I'm willing to believe that the mere presence of FFVII will turn the SFF tables upside down.

...That's definitely a pick I might switch on later when I actually start thinking about the matches.

If Kingdom Hearts is >= KHII, then that's not far off from TP either. Plus, Prime had Paper Mario as an excuse, at least.

Of course! I don't do these things halfway, you know! When I make my bracket-ruining picks, I make sure they're costly enough to actually ruin my bracket!

For example, I then took it over Mass Effect to eventually lose to RE4!

Half-Life 2 pretty much equals Oblivion's performance on TP, and Oblivion edged out GoW.

It's definitely not concrete that HL2 > GoW, but HL2's got good reason to be the favorite. Hell, I think ToS beating GoW once is enough to make it the favorite for that match.

Because even if it took a lot of things coming together (IMO) for Symphonia to beat it in a 4-way, it still actually happened. I wouldn't have taken HL2 to lose if you had swapped it into that match.
