I'm
still trying to figure out Batman's strength in this contest. It's
pretty much given that Batman will beat Psychonauts. PN is a pretty
cult game that basically get nominations but never votes. I have it meeting TF2 in the second round, but TF2 was pretty mediocre in the games contest and I'm wondering if the whole Goddamn Batman Factor is enough to beat TF2. --- Don't tell me what I can't do! - John Locke |

Well,
no, that's actually a bit different. NSMB is one of the best selling
games of all-time, MM9 not so much. I do agree with what you're trying
to say, though. --- The whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land; it is at last to set foot on one's own country as a foreign land. |

to say, though. While thats true, MM9 is probably the best selling downloadable game this generation, though. http://gamrfeed.vgchartz.com/story/2096/channel-surfing-mega-man-9-sells-60000-in-its-first-day-on-sale/ 60k is significantly more than Demon Souls sold its first day, I'm sure. And I wouldn't be surprised if combining all 3 systems, Mega Man 9 has outsold Demon Souls. --- http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |

From: NoDicePwn | #200 Let's name something with a brand name that actually sold less than Tales of Vesperia instead of something with 10 times the sales numbers. --- "Hold on a minute!

I'm
still going to call Demon's Souls a cult game as well; gets nominations
but not votes and the fanbase is more loud than powerful. I've played
it and it is NOT a game for everyone hence why it's still cult. --- Don't tell me what I can't do! - John Locke |
NoDicePwn | Posted 10/9/2010 2:36:04 PM | message detail |
Guys,
Demon Souls is at Atlus game. Atlus is cult by definition. And yes, I
would take Tales of Vesperia to beat Demon Souls... its at least got a
series with fans to back it. I'm not sure Demon Souls really has that.
Do people forget that Demon Souls did absolutely horrible in every poll
its had here or something? http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3622 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3718 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3724 It seems to be close to Infamous, and would any of us take Infamous to beat Mega Man 9? I sure wouldn't. --- http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |

I thought Capcom released something last year about MM9 being around ~900,000 in sales. I hope I'm not just making that up. --- Nominate Epona the very first chance you get! http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg |

No, because its not an RPG. Everything I've heard about Demon's Soul is that its an RPG, though. "Demon's Souls (%u30C7%u30E2%u30F3%u30BA%u30BD%u30A6%u30EB?) is a fantasy action role-playing video game developed primarily by Atlus (with assistance from SCE Japan Studio) exclusively for the PlayStation 3." What about it makes it not an RPG? --- http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |

From: KrahenProphet | #061 If you look at their performances in 2009, they look pretty similar, but Wind Waker has such a stigma attached to it that I have a feeling any other mainline Zelda would crush it. --- http://i49.tinypic.com/2ry672r.jpg |

running some of the matches I'm debating through last year's x-stats, I
can almost guarentee Bacon set some of the matchups using our stats. MM
and WW are nearly equal, and so are Brawl/Melee. --- http://i49.tinypic.com/2ry672r.jpg |

BlAcK TuRtLe | Posted 10/9/2010 3:56:13 PM | message detail |
IMO,
base strength alone, you have to consider RBY vs Melee, which I think
is a pretty close match. But the fact that Wind Waker is really the
black sheep of the Zelda franchise, I can't see it holding up well
against any other Zelda game. --- http://i49.tinypic.com/2ry672r.jpg |

I
just seen the Social Network, and I've reading the past 40 something
posts in the lead character Mark Zuckerberg's voice and speed. The
hyper-nerdity is amazing(yep, just made up that word, you can thank me
later), including Leon's awful, awful comeback against the daily
inanity that comes out of BT's keyboard. I think I might have to go back and read this whole thread this way. --- "You brought your *****, to the waffle hut?" |
