This is still anyone's game. That was all bracket voting.


Yep, WC3 started off incredibly strong and we're not even two minutes in yet.

Gee, I thought PC-exclusive strategy games were going to be weaksauce. Good news for Civ4? Bad news for Fallout 3?

I mean seriously, this performance and the general suckiness of PS3 exclusives throughout the contest now has me wondering whether or not Fallout 3 is actually so strong, and now we're seeing a game from the same company stink it up. Though to be fair MAYBE this shouldn't matter for Fallout 3 and perhaps Oblivion's performance will be more telling, but that's two strikes against Fallout 3. Now it's up to Half-Life 2 to take advantage.

I have no idea how Metroid: Other M got any scores lower than 60%.

Man, Morrowind was fighting really hard not to fall behind by 80 and then in the last few seconds WC3 got like 15 of the last 17 votes that came in.

Nice, a boring match here means Fable III has my undivided attention. So glad I got greedy and switching my bank to WC3 because of... STATS.

In the 2009 games contest:
Morrowind got about 38% on MGS2.
WoW was worth about 40-42% on MGS3, the stronger MGS game.

I figured that would be enough to carry WC3 through.

Melee was facing Guitar Hero II, and I can see why some people might think Guitar Hero II would win that. But Prime was up against Star Ocean which half of the bracket makers haven't even heard of.
KingBartz | Posted 10/28/2010 9:09:17 AM | message detail
This match was always a lock in my mind. It was only seeing so many picks for morrowind in the oracle that made me doubt a little. Glad i didnt falter.

I said I picked against Warcraft III thinking that PC-only strategy games would suck this contest. Obviously I was wrong.

Also Morrowind is disappointing my expectations quite heavily, and since PS3 exclusives have been stinking it up, you have to wonder whether or not Fallout 3 is in trouble.

I think a 57% lead from two games that are going to have the same trends was something you could call.

But god damn, this board just loves it's brackets too much.

We rarely see bracket voting like that. I think it just proves the board hasn't played and doesn't care about either game.
