Time for some extrapolation based off of vote-ins and two different games! Yeah! http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3472 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=4050 If GoW=GoW2, then Dawn of Sorrow gets 23.11% on Kingdom Hearts II! So really this result proves that KH is so screwed --- DFF |

Perhaps
just personal opinion, but G(ears)oW > GoW2. GoW2 didn't really do
anything special, and wasn't in any particular way better than the
original. I doubt it receives more support, or even equal support,
compared to the first. |

So... Thoughts on ToV/Borderlands? Since the match is tomorrow, I thought I'd get some more opinions on the match. |

Earlier today I saw a commercial on ESPN for Goldeneye Wii. WTF? Anyone heard of this? From: NoDicePwn | #1209 I'm not shocked, but you have to be impressed here, this is a good performance by any measure. A Castlevania game isn't going to be turbofodder. Kingdom Hearts kinda had a rep for not being able to blow stuff out too, so much for that. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
NoDicePwn | Posted 11/4/2010 10:31:32 AM | message detail |
Well
I'd say its actually a bit below my expectations.. I expected 77-78%.
It might get closer to that once the ASV rolls around, though. And I
don't see why a Castlevania game can't be turbofodder. It lost to the
Sims in the vote in. Hell, it was close to Wii Sports. --- Epona > any Western character in CB9! http://i.neoseeker.com/ca/fallout_new_vegas_conceptart_7XvFK.jpg |

How grim does that make things look for Viewtiful Joe against FFX when KH is doing this to a game which finished ahead of it. Granted lolvoteins and all that. --- Crucifying my Oracle average one match at a time |

Gears of War 2 is so screwed against Paper Mario. --- DFF |

Gears of War 2 was regarded as better by most serious VG critics (it even became the first video game to be profiled in The New Yorker!),
but it seems as if the casuals forgot it right away, and it wasn't even
considered for any of the major VG end of the year awards. --- "Ahem! There is *sand* on my *boot*!"--Kefka Dr. Football beat me, Yesmar in the 2010 Guru Contest! |

nothing from Civilization has really done well in any poll. --- DFF |
transience | Posted 11/4/2010 11:29:06 AM | message detail |
this
is a pretty good performance, but it should be in the upper bounds of
expected. I'm really surprised at the people who were expecting a
result in the 60s. that would mean that Dawn of Sorrow would have a
shot at Halo 2 if you assume the two are equal (and they are). Goldeneye Wii is Goldeneye in name only, it's more like Call of Duty with the Bond license. it's supposed to be pretty good but it's a Wii shooter so no one will care. --- xyzzy |

anyway,
it's a good time to bring up the fact that TP is far from untouchable
against KH/KH2. yoblazer was talking about how Nintendo had been
kicking ass this contest the other day. now it's time to see what
Square can do. three days in a row, the three biggest Square games. --- xyzzy |

LOLContests | Posted 11/4/2010 12:06:12 PM | message detail |
Shouldn't
Persona III be even worse than Persona IV, which looked pretty weak
last contest? PC games aren't popular on GameFAQS, but Civ IV is really
loved and should be able to avoid being fodder at least. --- "Ahem! There is *sand* on my *boot*!"--Kefka Dr. Football beat me, Yesmar in the 2010 Guru Contest! |

creativename | Posted 11/4/2010 12:06:39 PM | message detail |
The
Civ 4 match is a toss-up between two of the weakest games in the
bracket, IMO. Neither game deserves to win a match (speaking in terms
of contest strength - not quality). From: UltimaterializerX | #1307 I see a lot of people worrying about this, but as someone who *isn't* directly involved with the MGS fanbase or played any of the games, I just think that MGS4 has seemed to be ever so marginally stronger. It also seems to me that the game got more hype/love than MGS3, which people talked about being overlooked (due to MGS2's bad WOM), even when it came out. The main logic for MGS3 seems to be - 1) Titles earlier in the series have the advantage 2) LOL PS3 exclusives I'd consider the second factor to be better logic than the first. Being earlier isn't necessarily an advantage. I think there's something to being an original in the series, but 3 vs. 4? I see no advantage there. LOL PS3 exclusives however is a worrisome thought. But MGS4 seems to be the lone exception to this. It probably just comes down to which game the core fanbase prefers. From what I've seen that's hard to call, they seem about equally liked. Perhaps someone more familiar with the fanbase can say more accurately. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
LeonhartFour | Posted 11/4/2010 12:26:57 PM | message detail |
Yeah,
if any game will be the exception to the "LOL PS3 exclusives" trend,
it'll be MGS4. It already proved it had decent strength last time
around, and the PS3 is more popular now than it was last contest. I'd
love for MGS3 to win, but I'm not really seeing any convincing
arguments aside from the "MGS4's time has come and gone" argument,
which I kinda sorta buy. MGS3 and MGS4 seem to be trending in opposite
directions. MGS3's the one game in the series that seems to be becoming
more beloved as time goes by. I still don't think it'll win though. And yeah, I really should've raised my Oracle prediction after seeing what KH2 did yesterday. I made all my percentage predictions pre-contest and haven't adjusted very many of them. From: KamikazePotato | #263 ...What has Persona 3 done in polls? It does have the "It's the top option" factor in its favor though. --- http://img.imgcake.com/leonpngpe.png http://img.imgcake.com/squalloweenpngem.png |

MW2 gets 57-59% for the first three and last four hours, but those five dead zone Euro-vote hours...Man.

WhiteLens | Posted 11/4/2010 1:29:22 PM | message detail |
From: Greyfeld | #256 I don't know where all did fear comes from, but honestly the only thing Vesperia has got for it is the Tales brand (which isn't very strong without the word 'Symphonia' attached to it) and it being one of the few JRPGs these gen that's actually seen as good. It being an Xbox 360 exclusive (in America) might seem like something against it, but the 360 is the current gen console that's highly favored on this site, and this site is (or was) a predominate JRPG site. So put 2 and 2 together and that might give Vesperia the edge. --- No need for words, Just cast Luminaire and be done with it. |

360 exclusivity ain't really helping that much though, this is the age of multiplatform. --- Nyuu~ |

consider the second factor to be better logic than the first. Being

being an original in the series, but 3 vs. 4? I see no advantage there. LOL PS3 exclusives however is a worrisome thought. But MGS4 seems to be the lone exception to this. If you want any idea of MGS4's strength, just look at this: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3507 Just slightly weaker than FFX. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Dr_Football, Guru Champ! |

it may not have been good, but it was failry hyped and well received, wouldn't have been too surprising to see it hit 30%. --- Nyuu~ |

is largely a B8 creation. 4 just looked straight up better last year.

much if B8 wasn't nuts about 3. --- DFF |

did it? well that's because KH sucks so bad at night! I don't think a 12 hour day vote is indicative of a 24 hour one. there's a lot more night votes mixed in. --- xyzzy |
LeonhartFour | Posted 11/4/2010 2:12:29 PM | message detail |
I
agree that a 12 hour match dilutes the ASV a bit because things like
Nintendo and Kingdom Hearts don't have to get slaughtered by Europe as
much. We've really yet to see a massive ASV swing in a 12 hour match. --- Support Seifer Almasy (Final Fantasy VIII) for Character Battle IX! http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/9342/banner3seifer.jpg |

LeonhartFour | Posted 11/4/2010 2:42:04 PM | message detail |
Yeah,
there were very few big comebacks last year. I think the day/night
setup had something to do with it, because a lot of times the big
comebacks involve a strong night character/game building up a big lead
overnight and a strong day character/game using the ASV to make a
comeback. I think our biggest comeback was Sephy/Missingno, and that
was only a 600 vote lead that got turned around. Actually, Red/Ocelot probably had the biggest swing. Ocelot came back from a 666 vote lead and maxed out at a 379 vote lead before Red came back and won by 182. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside."
