30 & 3 for what is entered in Guru... seems like BOP had a better prediction percentage (assuming Dues Ex holds on).
--------------------------------
psn: aarrowgant


keep in mind that Ive only been the one whos been putting in entries recently (and there's supposed to be 5 doing them)

in reality (once all the brackets are entered) I think there was about 10-15 people who went with Deus Ex

people who actually still post on the rock band 2 board admit Deus Ex is better

so I guess the line between fans of Deus Ex and RB2 really isn't that clear cut

I've been holding out hope for a while, but I'm pretty sure this one's over. It'll just stay stuck in the 1000-1200 range the rest of the match.

Internet elitists prevailing isn't too surprising

The majority of the people who think Rock Band 2 is the better game and have played both likely don't post on Internet message boards much

Well it's currently 23:18 here in the UK so central/Eastern Europe should be mostly in bed now.However East Asia and the Aussies are soon to be waking up and they favour Deus Ex.

But they only add to about 5% of the vote plus when you add them together their support for Deus Ex is a lot lower than Europe.

RB2 now needs about 195 votes per hour, or just over 16 per update. Not impossible, but this should theoretically be nearing its best time, and it's not showing much. This'll probably end as one of those matches that looks closer on paper than it really was. Deus Ex has never been threatened.

I'd love to see it, but Deus Ex had this at the second or third update.

also, some of these snap judgments people are making after two 12 hour matches are really premature.

"Deus Ex is doing great, therefore Demon's Souls will do great because it's a WRPG!"

Europe falls apart after 6:00 PM, or at least that was the case in the continent poll. I posted the hourly trend chart of continent poll here:

Sure, you can't rule it out completely (even though I did hours ago, although that may have been premature). We rarely see a US/Europe discrepancy this big, and as Europe has started to turn in, RB2 has also managed its best 15 minute stretch of the match. It'll need these updates consistently, which is doubtful, but it's not impossible. It could theoretically do even better in about an hour when it's past midnight in the UK. Also, if it's within striking distance (say, 300 votes) in the last hour, it could get a Board 8 rally. Never underestimate our resolve to remain perfect early!

I want to rally on facebook but I don't know how to make a link that instead of putting them on the GFAQs home page so they can vote rock band, just automatically votes for them once they click it.

I can smell what you are stepping in IRT the DS MM9 matchup, but I don't think the Uncharted 2 match-up is in the same boat.

Uncharted 2 v LOD - LOD is an old RPG, probably not played by many of the visitors to this site as it was played on the original PS. This is dissimilar to MM9 and FO3, which are new games played by people who own current-gen systems.

A this logic is also true with it's next matchup with Sonic on the Dreamcast...

I have to say, I'm really clamoring for a Rock Band 2 comeback now. Not only because of my bracket, but also because I'm getting really sick of all the obnoxious Deus Ex fans whining about this match. Seriously, DX was a complete underdog going into this match, and even though it's probably going to pull off a great upset, its fans are complaining because it's not winning by a big enough margin. How idiotic is that?

If DX gets eliminated here, we won't have to deal with this rubbish come Round Two. That in itself is more than enough reason for a Rock Band 2 rally, if you ask me...!

they'll probably whine more when the console WRPG comes and beats the high-brow Deus Ex in round 2.
