And it isn't that hard to see that MGS4 being in the poll didn't help. It doesn't help, but how much are we going to say LBP could be the difference of a weak to a mid-tier game based on it? I'm not making that jump just yet. --- *is Dranze* Dr. Football swept me. |

From: MarioSuperstar | #348 LBP looked great in the 2008 GotY polls. That's ALL we have on it, other than Sackboy looking alright this year. And again, Dead Rising looked weaker. --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |

difference of a weak to a mid-tier game based on it? I'm not making
that jump just yet. Well I don't think anyone in this topic is taking it over GTAIII so there isn't much of a problem. --- BOP Topic: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/56645390 BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls |

LBP looked great in the 2008 GotY polls. Which one? The Original Title poll has no notable strong games to me. And again, Dead Rising looked weaker. In which polls? --- *is Dranze* Dr. Football swept me. |

Though if we're talking about LBP/DR then LBP takes that rather easily, only thing DR has is DR2. --- BOP Topic: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/56645390 BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls |

Since we like to use GotY poll suddenly... Let's take Dead Rising's performance against Oblivion in the 360 poll, note that Oblivion was in the PC poll and in the first Game of the Year poll the game did noticeable better against Gears of Wars (as in it went from 33% to 45%). So Dead Rising was able to get 30% against the weaker Oblivion and going by the x-stats it would get about 59% against the LBP that we saw in 2k9. Going by the Oblivion that we saw in the Game of the Year poll (assuming constant Gears of War) Dead Rising is expected to get 45% on the LBP that we saw in 2k9. Another way by using GeoW's performance against FFXII and TP in the final poll we get 33% and 27% respectively against the LBP that we saw in 2k9. So overall, lol 4-ways, lol GotY polls. --- BOP Topic: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/56645390 BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls |

From: MarioSuperstar | #354 It doesn't need to. Anyway it put up a good showing with MGS4 in the PS3 poll. Also http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2626 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3692 This is all Dead Rising has. The latter may be a vote-in poll but it shows that the game has no name power. As an aside, why the hell was Oblivion in the 360 poll in the first place? It's not an exclusive, and was released on PC at the same time. --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |

From: MarioSuperstar | #335 Actually, we haven't seen ANY proof of this. It's had a grand total of ONE poll without being saddled by MGS4, and it dominated it. From: paulg235 | #325 I wouldn't be confident in Frank West beating Laharl, personally. --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future.

Laharl
actually looked really good(for Laharl) this year, only getting doubled
against Sora. I mean compare that to almost getting tripled by Yoshi... --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |

Actually, on that note. Doubled by Sora vs. Doubled by Ada Who do you pick? Yes I know lol 4-ways but still. --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |
LeonhartFour | Posted 10/10/2010 10:39:14 AM | message detail |
Actually, there's a pretty simple comparison. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2884 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2905 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3271 Dante triples Laharl, quadruples Frank West, using Balthier. --- "So cold. I am always by your side." "There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!" |
MarioSuperstar | Posted 10/10/2010 10:55:35 AM | message detail |
vs. Doubled by Ada You mean vs. 38% on Ama. That is Frank West's most recent contest. It doesn't need to. So this amounts to "because I said so" or something? he latter may be a vote-in poll I am not taking vote-in polls seriously. It's had a grand total of ONE poll without being saddled by MGS4, and it dominated it. There's no real read on any of those games it "dominated" and looking at some of the games in the same poll, they just happen to be incredibly weaker. While there's no concrete evidence on either side, I really think its growth without MGS4 in the poll is small at best. Not something huge. --- *is Dranze* Dr. Football swept me. |
LeonhartFour | Posted 10/10/2010 10:57:17 AM | message detail |
From: MarioSuperstar | #364 I don't think a lot of LBP either, but don't make sweeping statements that it's proven to be weak based on other polls when it hasn't. --- "Stay with me until the end. Please." "Not until the end. Always." |
MarioSuperstar | Posted 10/10/2010 11:13:35 AM | message detail |
Meh. The series poll was good enough for me at least in terms of its performance in 2009 not being surprising anymore. --- *is Dranze* Dr. Football swept me. |

Lightning Strikes | Posted 10/10/2010 11:46:54 AM | message detail |
From: MarioSuperstar | #364 No big difference, especially with Crono in the poll. When you have one powerhouse dominating a poll, the relationships between the lesser contestants can become skewed. No reason for Frank to boost either, unless Ada SFF'd him, but then what's to say Sora didn't SFF Laharl or Laharl SFF'd Sora? Same general fanbase(though Sora has casuals as well). No it doesn't, but you don't need strong competition to get a reading on something. But polls with the same amount of options and huge amounts of SFF, those are fine. --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |

unless Ada SFF'd him, but then what's to say Sora didn't SFF Laharl or
Laharl SFF'd Sora? Same general fanbase(though Sora has casuals as
well). I think the game just being out longer can boost him somewhat. I don't think Crono being in the poll makes THAT much of a skewed result, though. If not, a tripling from Crono is still better than being doubled by Ada Wong. --- *is Dranze* Dr. Football swept me. |

For what it's worth West was against another Capcom character in both matches. --- I have no idea how Metroid: Other M got any scores lower than 60%. |

I'll
go ahead and say this: Bacon could have switched Okami and CoD4 and
everything would have been for the better. They're the same seed, but
Okami/SoT would have been a good match, and CoD4 gets to fight Metroid
Prime. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/Mach+Tornado.png |
HaRRicH | Posted 10/10/2010 8:43:51 PM | message detail |
I'm
not convinced Okami would struggle with PoP:SoT...but it'd be closer
than what CoD4 will do to it, and CoD4 in MP's division would be
excellent for craziness. Also, talking about CoD: even though Modern Warfare 2 just won the GotY here in January, four other games from 2009 out-seeded it. CoD4 out-seeded it too despite MW2 shattering pretty much every sales record at launch except all-time sales.

red sox 777 | Posted 10/10/2010 9:38:23 PM | message detail |
I
mentioned this in KP's topic, but my opinion on Megaman 2010 has
somewhat changed. He put very some very impressive performances against
Cid, Zack, and Ryu Hayabusa, but the Ryu Hayabusa match was impacted by
the sprite round, and both Cid and Zack are FFVII characters. At the
time, MM looked very very strong based off of Zack and Cid, like Samus
level strong, but then we saw that Cloud and Sephiroth had dropped
dramatically since 2008. Cloud went from 56% on Snake to 52% on Snake,
and a similar drop for Zack puts Megaman only a little above where he
looked to be in 2006-8 (around the level of Crono/Vincent). --- Crono > Sephiroth. 7 years of waiting, and perhaps many more to go. Remain steadfast. |

wouldn't be surprised if CoD4 was stronger, MW2 barely defeated GTA: SA
in the Game of the 00's poll and was pretty crushed against FFX. --- BOP Topic: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/56645390 BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls |

I'm not sure what arguments people are making for God of War. That game isn't very strong.

"Pretty
decent" isn't really good enough for me. Half-Life 2 is better than
"pretty decent," I think. Give me "Beat FFXII" over "Lost to Tales of

losing that match. --- http://i43.tinypic.com/dgwh0.gif http://www.majhost.com/gallery/atukam/OHWD/snownd.gif |
