MM3 was expected to lose, but that score it put up was pitiful. MM2? No Excuses. Vast majority picked it comfortably over Tetris. --- DFF |

Mega Man 9 completely revitalized the franchise. Since then we've had MM10, MML3 announced, and that upcoming Mega Man Universe. If this match happened last year when Demon's Souls was still somewhat relevant, I'd probably agree with you. Some crap game that came a month before the GotY polls on an exclusive starved system that STILL managed to get tripled by Uncharted 2 (whose main character lost to CATS and The Boss of all people) certainly doesn't inspire any confidence. Especially since it's now a year later and half the people on the board have never heard of it. --- http://i49.tinypic.com/2ry672r.jpg |

From: XxSoulxX | #400 Tetris isn't strong. And MM9 isn't going to be anywhere near the level of MM2 or 3. You have to understand this. --- "So cold. I am always by your side." "There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!" |

MM9
is pretty darn weak. the "Mega Man" part of the game is what scares me;
people who haven't played either will probably give Mega Man a vote.
MM9 itself is a pushover. --- xyzzy |

Mega Man hierarchy is definitely MMX > MM2 > MM9 > MM3 MM2 would at least double Demon's Souls, and I'd definitely take 3 over it. --- http://i49.tinypic.com/2ry672r.jpg |

MM3 was expected to lose, but that score it put up was pitiful. Yeah, judging how strong the game is based off a SFF beatdown. Do you think CATS can beat Ganondorf as well? MM2? No Excuses. Vast majority picked it comfortably over Tetris. The vast majority was wrong. There's nothing more to it. Tetris is a legendary game that is well respected by any gamer out there. Tetris would beat anyone in that division not named FF, Zelda, or Mario, and would do so easily. I think you guys just don't know how to gauge those classic games. I don't mean to sound like an elitist douchebag, but there really wasn't any way MM2 could beat Tetris back then. Tetris was loved and played by all. MM2 wasn't. It was played by the MM fans, but it was never as classic/legendary as Tetris. MM2 had votes from the MM fans, while Tetris had votes from every other gamer. Tetris is similar to Pac-Man in that if it's facing unknown/not as popular games, it will beat them based on respect voting alone, but throw it against another well-respected classic game (SMB, LoZ, FF1), those votes will disappear. MM2 just isn't in that same tier, and if you looked at it that way instead of the "oh man it's Mega Man so it has to win", you would have thought MM2 performed up to par as well. Now with that said, I know you're going to turn that quote around on me against Demon's Souls, but I legitimately think MM9 is the stronger game. It was released on every console, and was well received. DS was just released on the PS3, limiting the potential fanbase. When it comes to close games like that, the whole recognizability clause comes into play. More people have played/seen/heard of Mega Man, so it should get the casual vote. --- "Calling Pokemon RBY a top 10 game was the most insane contest jibba-jabba ever Woe unto he who sig bets with the near-invincible Lord High creativename |

From: XxSoulxX | #412 If Mega Man 9 wins, it won't be because it's legitimately the stronger game. It'll be because it has Mega Man in the title and not enough people know what Demon's Souls is.

Otherwise, I'd be taking Dissidia over MW2 and Crisis Core over FFXII. But, you know, neither MW2 nor FFXII would be worth much without Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Final Fantasy in their names. MM9 is supposed to be a mainline game like those, though I agree it won't be near MM2 or MM3 of course. --- Crono > Sephiroth. 7 years of waiting, and perhaps many more to go. Remain steadfast. |
LeonhartFour | Posted 10/6/2010 7:26:35 PM | message detail |
From: red sox 777 | #416 Nah, I don't think that's true. Mega Man 9 would fold against any game people know because it's a game a lot of people haven't played. A large chunk of this site doesn't play downloadable games. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3357 MM9 not even being able to triple Braid is a bad sign for it though. Braid will probably be #127 in this contest, right ahead of Mother 3. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3363 LOL Losing to Persona 4 and easily at that So if this game beats Demon's Souls, it's franchise voting and nothing more. It'll have nothing to do with MM9. --- Support Otacon (Metal Gear Solid) for Character Battle IX! http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/1950/banner4otacon.jpg |

From: red sox 777 | #420 Yes, but the FF name is worth a lot more than the MW name, and FFVII is worth a lot more than FFXII. Of course, these games get played because they have the brand name, but MM9 wasn't that widely played. Although this is akin to people taking Sunshine over both Halo games because it's Mario. --- Support Otacon (Metal Gear Solid) for Character Battle IX! http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/1950/banner4otacon.jpg |

I have more confidence in MM9 bombing than Demon's Souls bombing.

I
found a loose long-distance way through multi-option polls to compare
MM9 and Demon's Souls...take it with the grain of salt it deserves: --> MM9 got 70.47% on Braid here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3357 --> Lost Odyssey got 63.82% on Braid here (MM9 has 40.81% on LO thus far): http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3360 --> InFamous got 56.33% on Lost Odyssey here (MM9 has 46.73% on InFamous thus far): http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=4049 --> Demon's Souls got 51.08% and 60.28% on InFamous here and here respectively: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3724 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3718 If these were taken to be the truth, MM9 get 59.19% on Lost Odyssey, 53.27% on inFamous, and -- depending on which poll with Demon's Souls you take -- either 52.24% or 41.5%... ...so, we don't get to see very much, and with all the hoops I jumped through to get here, it's hard to take either side very seriously anyway even if we knew which poll with DS and InFamous was more accurate. Either MM9 wins in a difficult battle or DS takes it with each...and that's a DS without Europe, apparently. That said, since neither of them are well-known, if you don't like MM9's position number-wise, you gotta decide how much its name-power means and how much Europe means to DS. tl;dr - nothing conclusive other than there's probably good reason for it to be close.

From: LeonhartFour | #425 Nope, so it's hard to disagree with you on this. Braid will definitely be bottom-tier. I might have taken it against Persona 3, but P4 should be too much unless its releases on the PS3 and PC considerably helped even though they came well past its original hype. --- Nominate Epona...or else. http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg |

The big question is: Who wins this 4-pack? (5) World Ends With You (12) Dead Rising (4) Persona 4 (13) Braid Currently I have Dead Rising as the winner (hey, I actually played this one), but I think it's more likely for the universe to implode than to see any of those make it to the third round. Do you think Persona 4 is the better choice? At least we know that one matched SFIV in a poll, for what it's worth. Or, maybe WEWY will pull through, though I doubt that looking at how poorly some of its characters did. On another note, Dead Rising was doubled by Oblivion and quadrupled by Gears of War in the GOTY polls... interestingly, Oblivion is much stronger than Gears of War in a contest setting. --- "Ah, a party!
