From: voltch | #304 I'm sure the fanbase clearly prefers one over the other, and some people like one but not the other. But they looked equal to me last year, and nothing's really changing my mind this year. Honestly, KH1 vs. KH2 is probably the one interseries matchup I am the most clueless about. I really have no idea who the fanbase prefers. --- "So cold. I am always by your side." "There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!" |

well that and the MGS3/4. --- Nipaa~ |
LeonhartFour | Posted 11/4/2010 2:48:32 PM | message detail |
Nah,
I'm pretty sure the hierarchy goes 1 > 4 > 3 > 2, MGS's feels
pretty clear cut, especially #1 and #4. 3's chances of being stronger
than 4 aren't THAT great, honestly, despite the fact that MGS3 got the
1 seed and MGS4 didn't. --- "I can set you free, mate." "My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |

MGS1 ahead of the rest sure, but 3 vs 4 is one i'm struggling with. --- Hau hauu, omochi kaeri! |
LeonhartFour | Posted 11/4/2010 2:50:21 PM | message detail |
You won't find many MGS3 fanboys who love the game more than I do, and I'm pretty sure MGS4's going to beat it. --- "I can set you free, mate." "My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |

tsk, backing MGS3 here! --- Nyoro~n |
LeonhartFour | Posted 11/4/2010 2:52:57 PM | message detail |
You're also backing DMC3 > Prime, so you seem to have this odd obsession with the number 3! --- "I can set you free, mate." "My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |
ZFS | Posted 11/4/2010 2:53:26 PM | message detail |
Head to head, I'd be very surprised to find MGS3 to be the less popular option than MGS4, especially as it stands today. --- A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step. |

MGS3
vs. MGS4 feels like Melee vs. Brawl. One of these games is clearly
preferred on Board 8 and has louder fans on the internet, but... --- http://i43.tinypic.com/dgwh0.gif http://www.majhost.com/gallery/atukam/OHWD/snownd.gif |

so what if i backed Sonic 3 previously! --- Uguu~ |
ZFS | Posted 11/4/2010 2:55:18 PM | message detail |
I wouldn't even bring board 8 into the mix here. MGS3's popularity extends far beyond this board. --- A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step. |
voltch | Posted 11/4/2010 2:55:23 PM | message detail |
I ain't backing brawl, which is 3rd in the series! --- Hau hauu, omochi kaeri! |
LeonhartFour | Posted 11/4/2010 2:56:43 PM | message detail |
From: ZFS | #317 Eh, MGS3 never really had a super impressive performance in the last Games Contest either, other than nearly beating RE4. It let some other games get too close to it for me to think this is clearly stronger than MGS4. --- Support Otacon (Metal Gear Solid) for Character Battle IX! http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/1950/banner4otacon.jpg |
LeonhartFour | Posted 11/4/2010 2:57:48 PM | message detail |
And then of course, MGS4 went out and beat RE4 easily the next round anyway. But you can chalk up all kinds of weird factors into either match, so who knows. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |

MGS3
is a game i reckon is gonna keep going up in strength thanks to the
whole big boss movement kojima's currently in line with. --- Uguu~ |

I have 2 beating 4. <_> <_< --- Sir Chris |

MGS4 used nmumber SFF on RE4, clearly....also, I wouldn't put too much faith in 4way numbers. --- Uguu~ |

I'm not sure how much strength plays in here. this'll be which the fanbase prefers. --- xyzzy |

2 over 4.......i know old games do well, but srsly/ --- mii~ |
LeonhartFour | Posted 11/4/2010 3:00:49 PM | message detail |
From: transients | #326 Well, if MGS3 and 4 looked equal in strength, I'd agree. I think MGS4 had a clear edge last time though. Like I said, the main argument I buy is that MGS4 has gradually been dropping out of favor with the fanbase, which is possible, and MGS3 has grown in favor with the fanbase over time. --- http://i43.tinypic.com/dgwh0.gif http://www.majhost.com/gallery/atukam/OHWD/snownd.gif |
KamikazePotato | Posted 11/4/2010 3:01:23 PM | message detail |
From: transients | #326 This isn't KH1/2 or Melee/Brawl coinflip. 4 was a clear step above 3 last contest. Wouldn't that basically say what the fanbase prefers? --- DFF |
ZFS | Posted 11/4/2010 3:01:53 PM | message detail |
Indirectly?
It's probably not too much different. Directly? I don't know of any
place where a fanbase of MGS fans would ever prefer MGS4 to MGS3. That
game has gone through a serious cooling period over the past couple of
years, and I don't think last year is an indication of how it will do
this year. I believe someone here linked to a poll showing FFX and MGS4
aren't that far apart -- FFX would beat MGS4 with little trouble if you
put them head-to-head in this contest, I think. MGS4 isn't a weak game
or anything, but again, against another game in its series that carries
far more weight with fans, I'd be surprised to see it win. MGS4 strikes
me as a game that's getting far more credit than it deserves, but I
guess it's hard to argue with last year's results right now. I'll just
say I very much doubt we see the same game this year. --- A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step. |

From: LeonhartFour | #325 no offense, but you dont win these contests by making only the\ "smart" upsets that half the board picked. If I am wrong hey, fine, but it isnt as if you are going to be winning this either. --- Sir Chris |
LeonhartFour | Posted 11/4/2010 3:02:47 PM | message detail |
From: ZFS | #330 I kinda feel the same way about MGS3, honestly. It hasn't proven anything to me either. --- Support Squirtle (Pokemon R/B/Y) for Character Battle IX! http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/8463/banner2squirtle.jpg |
ZFS | Posted 11/4/2010 3:04:25 PM | message detail |
Maybe.
I guess it depends on how strong we're talking with MGS3. I don't
believe it's a contender to win, or that it will threaten FFX, but I
also don't believe MGS4 is any better there either. --- The whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land; it is at last to set foot on one's own country as a foreign land. |

From: Achromatic | #331 It's really got nothing to do with winning. It's just a stupid pick. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3507 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3466 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3488 No amount of "LOL 4-ways" is making up that big of a difference. --- http://i43.tinypic.com/dgwh0.gif http://www.majhost.com/gallery/atukam/OHWD/snownd.gif |

I am not seeing the problem here. --- Sir Chris |
transients | Posted 11/4/2010 3:05:47 PM | message detail |
eh,
something about MGS4 doesn't sit right with me. I feel like it has the
lowest playership amongst the four games due to being on the PS3. I
wonder if that hurts it. --- xyzzy |
LeonhartFour | Posted 11/4/2010 3:06:00 PM | message detail |
Well, considering you have MGS2 > MGS4, that much is obvious. --- "Why must we always choose between certain death and probable death?" "I'm in an epic battle to the death, FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF!" |
voltch | Posted 11/4/2010 3:06:26 PM | message detail |
Am
i the only one who believes that a weaker game in a series can beat a
stronger game in the same series cos the fanbase likes one more. What i mean is that say MGS4 has 100 hardcore fans+ 50 votes cos of it's broad casual appeal, while MGS3 has those same 100 hardcore fans but only 30 votes come from casuals of the franchise. In the head to head say it's a 80-20 split in favour of MGS3 amongst the hardcore, wouldn't that lead MGS3 to win over MGS4? I just think MGS4 looks stronger overall cos it was a system killer app, but in the head to head, the hardcore fans prolly like MGS3 more. --- Uguu~ |
SuperAngelo128 | Posted 11/4/2010 3:06:30 PM | message detail |
yeah I still think it's possible for 2 to upset 4. Not a high chance but it's very possible --- ~Ange http://img.imgcake.com/b8anime2pngyg.png |

Hey
Leonheart wasn't the big difference on a 12 hours match RSE vs GTA
IV?GTA IV was winning with around 380 votes and it lost for about 900
votes. --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
Achromatic | Posted 11/4/2010 3:08:04 PM | message detail |
also
I have missed a lot of matches, but most of them have at least broken
the way I expected. RE5 didnt beat ToS, but it was closer than a lot of
people thought it would be. RSE didnt lose to GTAIV, but god damn did
it try to for a long time there. I am not an expert, but I am not
wildly off (except no mercy) (I call my fanboyism pick <_<) --- Sir Chris |
LeonhartFour | Posted 11/4/2010 3:08:20 PM | message detail |
From: voltch | #338 Am I the only one who believes that if the fanbase likes one more, it'd be stronger than the other one to begin with? From: Achromatic | #340 I don't really care how much you personally LOL 4-ways! It's not going to make MGS2 win! Or even come that close. MGS2 being the weakest MGS game is one of those "common sense" picks. --- Support Otacon (Metal Gear Solid) for Character Battle IX! http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/1950/banner4otacon.jpg |

Whoa, I dunno about MGS2 getting 48% on MGS4. Far more people played MGS2 than MGS4, but I don't think I'd peg MGS4 that low. --- A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step. |
