Am surprised a lot of people took RB2 for this, when have music games ever done well in anything on gamefaqs? Deus Ex is somewhat cult and doesn't have a strong track record in contests either so I can see the logic in betting against it though I'd always side with the cult hit over a mainstream sequel of an unpopular genre on gamefaqs. It was a bit of a coin flip to me, but I figured in a day match, RB2 would have a little bit of an edge, but like Fable (and more so, though without as much hate) it probably skews too casual for a GF contest. --- Buster: It's so watery... and yet there's a smack of ham to it!

Harmonix
is in pretty low standing in Europe which is mostly a Guitar Hero
territory. They had a lot of antics at the start of RB's emergence with
long delays for PAL releases and drastically overpricing their hardware
in comparison to GH which had simultaneous worldwide releases and
properly priced instruments. Plus theres the whole time exclusive thing
RB used to roll with on the Xbox, a console that is nowhere near the
standing here that it is in the states which made it unavailable to a
lot of people. --- Smurf , The cream of Germany fanboyism. |

ASV
shifts in the 12-hour format usually aren't very big. The biggest I can
think of is Missingno/Yoshi, which was around 3%.......there must have
been a bigger one than that though. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |

Deux Ex has this match locked up. It may not even be winning North America by the time the ASV hits --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |

Well, there was *a* stall for Rock Band, it'll need about 2 hours of those to have a shot though. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png "SEXTON HILLBEAST" - TimJab |

hmm where is the G-d stuff coming from I think Rock Band 2 has major problems with Europe because EA dicked them over so hard about it. I forgot about that. --- Buster: It's so watery... and yet there's a smack of ham to it! Lindsay: It's hot ham water! |

"Rock Band is winning pretty convincingly in America. I really forgot how against music games the rest of the world is."

I've gotta say I don't know anyone who owns Rock Band, while most gamers I know are into Guitar Hero. I live in the UK. RB2 with a stall. --- Final Fantasy XIII review: http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps3/review/R140434.html You're pretty good, Dr_Football. |

"I thought Rock Band was the better one in Europe. Maybe that was Sing Star. >_>" Sing Star is pretty big here comparatively, though its really a girls game which is probably neither here nor there in relation to GameFAQs. =P --- Smurf , The cream of Germany fanboyism. |
MegatokyoEd | Posted 10/20/2010 10:20:23 AM | message detail |
I
remember reading that Harmonix and EA handled the launch of Rock Band
horribly in Europe so it never took off there to challenge Guitar Hero. --- Demyx is better than Axel. http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom |
LeonhartFour | Posted 10/20/2010 10:20:35 AM | message detail |

RB/RB2
(I forget which one) in particular had some crazy delays iirc. Smurf
might remember this better, I recall talking with him about it and why
he disliked RB so much, and I think it was something like EA delaying
RB last minute without announcing any type of timetable for it's actual
release. --- Buster: It's so watery... and yet there's a smack of ham to it! Lindsay: It's hot ham water! |

From: MegatokyoEd | #338 This is really pretty true. I'm hoping RB3 makes everything alright over the seas. You poor guys don't get the best music game, you're stuck with Guitar Hero. --- Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Guru winnah Explicit Content, that's quis. |

From: UltimaterializerX | #336 Man, it's like you guys forget how this works. Rock Band gets a stall, Deus Ex counters with like an 80 vote spike. Then Rock Band 2 battles back the entire ASV, takes the lead at 11:40, and then Deus Ex get a 55 vote spike on the 11:45 vote update. Next! --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (1/1) Rock Band 2 v Deus Ex |

You poor guys don't get the best music game, you're stuck with Guitar Hero. Yeah, and Guitar Hero is essentially a joke now. I wouldn't be into music games these days if Guitar Hero was my only choice --- http://i56.tinypic.com/o5thna.jpg http://i51.tinypic.com/33kbvba.jpg |

From: red sox 777 | #319 Chief/Hayabusa had a decent swing, although Chief still never managed to win an hour outright. Axel and Roxas did decently with it, too, but Rock Band is no Kingdom Hearts. Ryu/Leon Kennedy had a huge shift later in the match, thanks to the California ASV. But yeah, not seeing a whole lot beyond that. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside."

Axel and Roxas did decently with it, too, but Rock Band is no Kingdom Hearts To be fair, Deus Ex is probably a lot worse with the ASV than Dante/Sub-Zero are.
