Given the existence of WoW affecting that poll...I can think of no assessment. --- At least Dark Link is more of a character than L-Block...Kinda. ~Zen you mean, he's got LINES? ~voltch |

NoDicePwn | Posted 10/18/2010 5:40:40 PM | message detail |
That's not really impressive competition. The point is that it tripled Morrowind, which is the only game Warcraft 3 has a chance of beating this contest, so I'd say its plenty relevant even if the competition wasn't very good. --- http://i56.tinypic.com/o5thna.jpg http://i51.tinypic.com/33kbvba.jpg |

Yeah, but 7 years is a long time. Who knows if Oblivion created more old school players than WoW. I guess that's good enough to put Wacraft III as the favorite. Maybe. --- *is Dranze* Dr. Football swept me. |

NoDicePwn | Posted 10/18/2010 6:15:50 PM | message detail |
I'm
predicting at least a doubling for Warcraft 3 in that match...
Honestly, Warcraft 3 has significantly more reason to boost since that
2003 poll than Morrowind does. Many many WoW players have gone back and
played Warcraft 3 to experience the storyline so they understand the
game they are playing better. --- http://i56.tinypic.com/o5thna.jpg http://i51.tinypic.com/33kbvba.jpg |

At
least a doubling on Morrowind is a bit much. The game did pretty
against FFX last year. To put it to perspective a doubling on Morrowind
would mean Warcraft III is breaking 40% on FFX rather easily (though it
did have two other PS2 games in the mix) not to mention that the game
would thrash Diablo II. --- BOP Topic: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/56645390 BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls |

So taking a final look at my bracket, I'm still uncertain on the following. Bold is what I've got now: Halo 3 vs Mario Sunshine Tales of Symphonia vs RE5 Pokemon Emerald vs GTA4 Tales of Vesperia vs Borederlands Fire Emblem vs Tony Hawk 2 MvC2 vs NSMBWii Uncharted 2 vs SA2 KH2 vs KH KOTOR vs FF9 FF12 vs Mass Effect MGS3 vs MGS4 --- http://i49.tinypic.com/2ry672r.jpg |
NoDicePwn | Posted 10/18/2010 6:32:03 PM | message detail |
Maybe
not a doubling... but I do expect it to win very convincingly. I don't
think it'll have any problems at all. My one big worry though is the
possibility of having Arthas on the match pic (It had two box arts, so
people might see that and anti vote it thinking of WoW, along with
normal anti votes due to the name itself. --- http://i56.tinypic.com/o5thna.jpg http://i51.tinypic.com/33kbvba.jpg |

From: TheCodeisBosco | #098 This is an underrated fourpack. Three games have very viable shots at making it to RE4's dinner plate. I had TWEWY, but changed to DR. Even though I have DR, I think people are overhyping a sequel to a game that not many people care about on this site. I only have DR because I figure the game with the most exposure would win this four-pack. So I went with the cross-platform console game over a cult handheld RPG and a cult RPG from the graveyard years of the PS2 --- It takes a genius to make something simple truly great. Dr. Football, you are the man! I'll take you down next contest though... |

I'd
take Legend of Dragoon to beat SF4/SA2 and believe SF4 > SA2...so
this SA2 > Uncharted 2 talk is a little mind-boggling to me. It was
last year's runner-up for GotY, and 2009 wasn't THAT weak of a year. I
can think of at least seven games from last year I'd take over SA2
without a lot of worry, and I frankly wouldn't be surprised if Dissidia
could be an eighth. I just can't buy Dreamcast-support and/or 3D-Sonic holding up at all on GameFAQs, but -- more to the point -- 2009's not done anything to really embarrass itself yet either. We saw CoD4 do well in BGE2 and MW2 probably won't be very far from it since it landed between RE4 and GTA:SA in the GotD-poll...and many of 2009's other top games weren't that far behind it. After Uncharted 2 got the runner-up for 2009 (though I think Batman was dicked out of it, barely) and the PS3 dominated the SotY-poll, it's hard to think it's suddenly going to suck so much. I can't tell if it's 2009-underestimation or 3D-Sonic overestimation, but it's ugly either way. --- This sig-space should be replaced by any number of GameFOX-sigs I made to support Epona from LoZ:OoT to make the next Character Battle. |

I just can't buy Dreamcast-support and/or 3D-Sonic holding up at all on GameFAQs, Why do you keep pretending this is a Dreamcast exclusive? Thinking that SA2 gets all its strength from the Dreamcast. is as bad as thinking RE4 gets all its strength from the PS2. --- From his looks Magus is Macho Man Randy Savage as an anime zombie.

This isn't Gamespot's editing staff, it's a popularity vote. Uncharted 2 nearly getting GOTY is completely irrelevant. |
HaRRicH | Posted 10/18/2010 7:08:32 PM | message detail |
It
was a Dreamcast-game that wasn't well-received at the time and took
another two years for its Gamecube-release under a different name, and
that port also did pitifully here even for a port. I didn't call it an
exclusive anyway, but I don't think it's that wrong to assume much of
its strength would need to come from the Dreamcast-version. If you're
counting on just Gamecube-support for it to pull through...I mean, I
don't have to show that poll again. --- http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg So what if she's a horse? She's got your back anyway. |

Sonic
Adventure 2 is nostalgic in many people's eyes for a big reason: it was
the first Sonic release on a Nintendo console. (Okay, technically it
was Sonic Advance, but that game sucked) It meant an end to the
Sonic/Mario rivalry that had lasted for so many years. Despite the
quality of the game, it still meant something to people, and being the
last great Sonic game (subjective opinion), people still love it. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/Mach+Tornado.png |
