the real test will be how high HL2 can go on GTA3. this isn't saying much but it certainly doesn't hurt its case. --- xyzzy |

If
HL2 > GoW and L4D > L4D2, there doesn't necessarily have to
be...though I agree there should be SFF. Still, I understood L4D-fans
were real loyal, plus neither L4D-game is part of the Orange Box deal,
so SFF still might not be a big factor here. I wanna see how GoW does
on HL2 before I start making guesses on how much L4D2 may be SFF'd. --- http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg So what if she's a horse? She's got your back anyway. |

Harrich,
you just don't understand Valve, so don't try to act like you do. This
is a 100% SFF match. Valve fanbase is just as fanatical if not more
fanatical than Nintendo, so they play every single game Valve releases. --- http://i.neoseeker.com/ca/fallout_new_vegas_conceptart_7XvFK.jpg |

well, I think L4D2 is a mile weaker than L4D. remember Ellis? We've never seen any other L4D character in a match, so whos to say that they'd all not be incredibly weak? Its not really a character driven game like TF2 is. --- http://i.neoseeker.com/ca/fallout_new_vegas_conceptart_7XvFK.jpg |

NoDicePwn | Posted 10/27/2010 9:34:40 AM | message detail |
Yeah. This is a division-winning result. since when do we take anything seriously from a SFF match of this caliber? The top Valve game vs. the weakest Valve game was always gonna be a blowout. I predicted 80% here and I wouldn't have handed Half Life 2 anything. The only thing we could have taken from this is that Half Life 2 was in trouble if it couldn't outdo what GoW did on L4D 1. --- http://i.neoseeker.com/ca/fallout_new_vegas_conceptart_7XvFK.jpg |

L4D2's
year was much stronger than L4D's. With that said, L4D2 came out on the
same day/weekend as Assassin's Creed 2, and that really overshadowed it. --- 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 |

From: transience | #405 Right, but I don't think we've seen any L4D-characters except maybe in that vote-in that had two characters from the series, and does anybody expect a L4D-character to do much better than Ellis? From: NoDicePwn | #406 Don't be a dick. I've got the Orange Box and enjoyed its three games, I've played L4D for a bit, and I use Steam. I'm not Valve-fan #1, but don't diss me on this because I'm simply open to the idea that there may not be as much SFF as everyone thinks. That's a BT-move, Albion. --- Epona: pulling off the "horse-face" better than Sarah Jessica Parker since 1998. http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg |

would take Zoey or Louis's performances over Ellis's, even if you
assume Zoey and Louis had zero overlap. Ellis got tripled by Shepard. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png "SEXTON HILLBEAST" - TimJab |

Then
don't act like you know all about how Valve fans think. The fact that
we're getting like 400 votes an update even now when the match is on
the front page 100% is more than enough to show this is just SFF. --- http://i.neoseeker.com/ca/fallout_new_vegas_conceptart_7XvFK.jpg |
transience | Posted 10/27/2010 9:38:22 AM | message detail |
this
is a SFF match but it's also obvious HL2 is a mile above L4D2 in
strength. L4D1 already showed how weak the series is, getting doubled
by God of War. --- xyzzy |

I dunno how much L4D2 was really over-shadowed -- it had a $25,000,000 advertising campaign and a catchy commercial. BANG BANG BANG BANG VAMANOS VAMANOS AC2's bigger here and mostly elsewhere, sure, but I don't think over-shadowed is a good term here. --- http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg So what if she's a horse?

yeah,
L4D2 wasn't affected by AC2 at all. different types of games. if
anything it was overshadowed by Modern Warfare 2. people were never too
enthused about L4D2 since it came out so soon after L4D, especially
considering Valve is a company that is known for supporting their games
long after release. --- xyzzy |

The
fact that we're getting like 400 votes an update even now when the
match is on the front page 100% is more than enough to show this is
just SFF. And now we are getting 500 votes an update already.

Half-Life
2 has the same chance it did going into this match. The only way its
chances would have changed would have been if it bombed. See: DMC3/Mother 3 <_< --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png "SEXTON HILLBEAST" - TimJab |

I
kinda wonder how Counter Strike Source would do. I think I'd take it
over the L4D games. It wouldn't be as strong as CS 1.6, but that was
like 99 so just missed the cut. --- http://i.neoseeker.com/ca/fallout_new_vegas_conceptart_7XvFK.jpg |

Oh,
this is SFF. But if you set HL2=GoW, then L4D gets 67% on L4D2. That
just isn't happening. I suppose it's up to you to decide whether or not
this is more SFF or more HL2 being stronger than GoW. --- DFF |

From: NoDicePwn | #435 Apology accepted. Let's move on now. It's a shame we can't really get much of anything on Portal before its first match. TF2 had a close match as expected, L4D got whipped but isn't part of the Orange Box and GoW had room to improve anyway, today's Valve-on-Valve...not really any other opportunity before Portal/Gears to see how it should do against probably FF12. I guess we can get a decent Square-read before then if we try comparing FF12 to FF9 and CC:FF7 to Dissidia or something, though I suspect both of those could over-rate FF12/CC:FF7. Not like we'd get a clear comparison like that either way. --- http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg EEEEEPPPPPOOOOONNNNNAAAAA |

the
Valve 'test' -- which I don't think is fair since Valve isn't one big
supergame, HL2 and Portal are very separate entities -- will be the
GTA3/HL2 match. that will happen before Portal's round 2. --- xyzzy |
ExThaNemesis | Posted 10/27/2010 10:57:17 AM | message detail |
Ugh. Well, I suppose it could be worse, but I really wanted to see HL2 get 80% here. Or at the very least match Fallout's performance against InFamous. As of right now, I'm still sort of feeling like it can take out GoW/Prime, but don't feel at all confident about it getting to the semi-final. Although this match doesn't really help us out much because there's obviously some SFF involved... I just wish HL2 could really harness the SFF power and crush L4D2 into the ground. |

No,
I'm saying arguing with you is a waste of time and there are far better
things to do. I couldn't possibly care less if this is an SFF match or
not. Really? It's kind of important. If this match has a lot of SFF in HL2's favor, your Fallout 3 > HL2 pick is pretty much set in stone. If not, then it's as up in the air as ever. Of course you don't think there's any chance of FO3 losing before the semi-final so I guess you wouldn't care much. |

Fallout 3 isn't losing. These results are expected and we learn nothing.

And
this match doesn't just have "some sff." Yeah, just because a person
has played HL2 doesn't mean they've played L4D, but the same can't be
said about the reverse. If someone has played L4D, they've almost
certainly played HL2. --- GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site. We're not going to strip out the soul of the site. -CJayC |

Okami and DMC3 don't really have a shot. And Fallout has an okay chance of losing if InFamous just really sucks ass. I would take L4D2 > InFamous pretty comfortably. Plus you have to realize that FO3 overperformed compared to what it's going to be like once we get to that match(should HL2 be there). And FO3/HL2 winner is going to get absolutely ROASTED by Melee I can't wait to see that demolition. |

I've played both L4D's and never touched a Half-Life. Maybe I should get HL2 now that I have a viable gaming PC! Anyways, I'm just saying that I was hoping for something a little more conclusive as opposed to "just as planned." Oh well, when HL2 smokes GTA3 next round, we'll get our answers!! |
