I doubt many votes are in from Europe that aren't bracket votes yet. If it's like that in three hours... oh dear.

Final Fantasy XIII review: http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps3/review/R140434.html
You're pretty good, Dr_Football.
ZenOfThunder | Posted 10/19/2010 9:16:55 PM | message detail
to be fair, inFamous was a pretty good game

just not nearly as good as Fallout 3

man I love Fallout 3

I have a man-crush on Three Dog

I see that creativename fixed the poll updater for this match. Here are the vote totals for each game for the first 5 minutes of this match:

Time | Fallout 3 | inFamous
12:01 AM | 254 | 50
12:02 AM | 419 | 96
12:03 AM | 564 | 135
12:04 AM | 726 | 176
12:05 AM | 859 | 219

creativename could add that stuff as well, if he wants to.

The thing all the way on the left is Majora's Mask.


So like, know when you see one of those **** brix images and you finally "get" it?

That's my face right now. I feel dumb for not seeing the mask there.

No one would want to be friends with an unmoving, unspeaking telephone pole. However, unmoving and unspeaking is exactly what you'd want from a telephone pole.

Well, I was backwards on my Wyoming'd pick. Anyone want to guess when InFamous gets its first vote?
Also, it seems like we're starting to stabilize here. I assume Fallout will have the better day vote. Could this end above 80 (for the sake of my Oracle I hope it does)?

Good thing I totally backed off and took MM9 at the end. If it wins, I'm totally ready to give Turtle his due and apologize. Well, not totally ready. I'll probably need from now till then to mentally condition myself for it.

Infamous is the kind of game to overperform in GotY and then fade away over time. It's not like people didn't expect a beating here.

That's not really the point. MM9 and Demon's Souls are going to be pretty weak. Just because inFamous is getting destroyed doesn't mean MM9 looks any better.

Maybe not, but DS looked very close to Infamous in both Goty polls last year, so it being absolutely slaughtered here doesn't really make me feel BETTER about DS.

For the record, according to the vote-in poll, inFamous would get:

* 26.27% against God of War II
* 36.24% against Metroid Fusion
* 35.04% against Resident Evil 5

Make of that what you will.

PS3 exclusive gettin' completely embarrassed DOES, however, make DS look a bit worse. At least in my eyes. But my eyes are the ones that weren't backing on a complete unknown toppling an established series' best game in years! What do my eyes know?!

I'm not taking much of anything from this match. Trying to extrapolate exact percentages from vote-ins and GOTYs are generally not a good idea because we saw just from Brawl, MGS4, and Fallout 3 last year that they don't hold up even less than a year later. They give you a decent gauge, but exact they are not.

MGS4! I mean, it's a PS3 exclusive too, and inFamous blowing chunks here obviously indicates that all PS3-exclusives are going to bomb horribly.

So if Braid were here and getting crushed, that would automatically make MM9 look terrible despite us already knowing that Braid would be weak?

I was just messing around with that last post, but if Uncharted 2 doesn't perform very well against (the apparently awful and unloved) Legend of Dragoon, then I will start having doubts about every PS3 exclusive.

But how many are in the bracket, anyway? Five? And the biggest one is in a pure SFF match.

Sorry man, I think that was a bad call. RB2 is going to be anti-voted, but not that much! Deus Ex is one of the weakest games around, contest-wise.

This doesn't mean squat for Demon's Souls. inFamous was bound to disappoint; it's a sandbox game with a decent premise but not anything spectacular. DS would beat the crap out of it, because that's the kind of hardcore game GameFAQs likes. PS3 exclusive means nothing, just look at MGS4.

What exactly would 'not performing well' be? It did beat out Star Wars Battlefront II and Mario Kart DS. Will people be calling for Uncharted 2's head if it doesn't break 57% or so?
