From: BlAcK TuRtLe | #194 You just said Uncharted 2 vs SA2 was one of your debated matches, tranny made it sound like it wasn't unreasonable, and Albion backed it. What I said was relevant. From: LeonhartFour | #197 Which is fine, because I'm not taking SF4 over Uncharted 2 or LoD either. The discussion was about SA2 against Uncharted 2, and I don't see where that's supported except... From: Big Bob | #196 ...which, sorry, I don't believe at all. Nothing's shown us that many people even played it, much less cared for it or are nostalgic for it. There's only that old Sonic-game poll, which I'd love to see rerun again. --- http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg So what if she's a horse? She's got your back anyway. |

You're
gonna be pretty shocked when Sonic Adventure 2 gets 60% in round 1,
huh... Its probably the 2nd strongest Sonic game overall (if you don't
count sonic 3 & knuckles), behind Sonic 2. A major Sonic game on
Gamecube that introduced many players to Sonic who had never played it
before is significant. Not to mention its viewed as the last good Sonic
game. --- http://i56.tinypic.com/o5thna.jpg http://i51.tinypic.com/33kbvba.jpg |

Looking at the history of Dreamcast games I can't say I have confidence in it doing anything more than beating a fighter. --- *is Dranze* Dr. Football swept me. |

First
time I've really examined the bad boy in a while, and I made quite a
few changes. Giving WoW the early boot, have Sonic over Uncharted, some
others. --- Yoblazer: http://i32.tinypic.com/zlf1w7.gif Watch and you'll see... some day I'll be... part of your world! |

If
SA2 can be the second biggest Sonic-game here (which would be behind
Sonic 1, not 2), congrats to it. I own and enjoyed it, and I'll be
voting for it. Let's not act like we're some big sect of people who
even gave 3D-Sonic a chance though, much less enjoyed SA2 specifically.
The Dreamcast never caught on, and word of mouth was that the series
wasn't the same anymore. It introduced Sonic to the Nintendo-audience? Sonic got killed by Cloud that next year. It's like saying Twin Snakes helped introduce Snake (shut up, MG1/2-fans), and he similarly got embarrassed the year afterward. I can't explain why they both looked so bad the contest after those remakes, but neither Gamecube-port proved to be any help to their main characters. --- http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg EEEEEPPPPPOOOOONNNNNAAAAA |

Even
if it's just box art, those are some awesome Round 1 pictures. And I
feel more confident than ever in TFII pulling it out against Fable. --- 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
made a lot of changes yesterday, probably more than I've made to a
bracket in a previous contest, after not having touched it since the
first couple of days. I've still got Legend of Dragoon going out to
Fallout 3.......should I not be taking that vote-in poll literally? --- Crono > Sephiroth. 7 years of waiting, and perhaps many more to go. Remain steadfast. |

you better take that Star Wars game to beat Bioshock or something then. --- xyzzy |

I don't think beating Battlefront II and probably LFF'd MKDS is a great idea anyway. --- Support Seifer Almasy (Final Fantasy VIII) for Character Battle IX! http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/9342/banner3seifer.jpg |

Hmm, now that I look at it again, that poll was really weak, yeah. Alright, time to switch to Uncharted 2 then. --- Crono > Sephiroth. 7 years of waiting, and perhaps many more to go. Remain steadfast. |

KotOR's boxart predominantly features Darth Malak with Bastila Shan in the foreground. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/11/Kotorbox.jpg It's not as good as DMC's in case anyone is wondering.

Legend of Dragoon over Uncharted 2 would be one of the worst matches to ever happen. Let's not even entertain the idea plz. --- 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. |

Classic PS1 jRPG Vs. New PS3 Action game I don't really know why this is considered an upset as I never even thought UC2 had a shot here.

it's weird how the only people taking LOD to win are people who don't really do JRPGs. this isn't exactly a top tier RPG, guys. --- xyzzy |

Legend
of Dragoon is a PS1 RPG, but classic is not the right word to use
there. LOD is undoubtedly one of the worst games out there, thing is
awful. --- A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step. |
BlAcK TuRtLe | Posted 10/18/2010 8:15:03 PM | message detail |
From: XxSoulxX | #241 I think the issue here is UC2 has a pretty big range. It could be turbofodder, or it could be a low midcarder. Which sucks because the winner of that match is going to the third round. --- http://i49.tinypic.com/2ry672r.jpg |

it's weird how the only people taking LOD to win are people who don't really do JRPGs. this isn't exactly a top tier RPG, guys. But then again, how many new action games do well in these things? LoD could be a pile of horse **** (and I would most likely agree with this assessment), but it's still a popular RPG that came out when the RPGs were in their prime. "Classic" as in many people will have nostalgic memories of this game and vote for it, I believe. --- "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 |
