http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3356®ion=US http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3356®ion=CA Seems like Canada really loves Vesperia where as does slightly worse in the US compared to its overall percentage. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3724®ion=US http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3724®ion=CA The US really loves Borderlands while it does terrible in Canada. And Vesperia is somehow winning Europe despite both games being terrible in Europe. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Dr_Football, Guru Champ! |

Cripsy's Gamer GotD is relevant....HOW>? --- Hau hauu, omochi kaeri! |

There
will be no comeback. While Vesperia gets the Canadian ASV, Borderlands
will hold off Vesperia with the American ASV. Europe also goes to sleep
later tonight, which means no more Europe trying to hold off
Borderlands. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Dr_Football, Guru Champ! |

Crispy
Gamer's GotD is perhaps the least bit relevant because if a game that
isn't GameFAQs' cup of tea didn't do well there, it's not going to do
well here. But there were such outrageous results as: Psychonauts > Wind Waker Left 4 Dead > Call of Duty 4 Lumines > FFXII Battlefield 1942 > Metal Gear Solid 2 Soulcalibur II > God of War Grand Theft Auto III beating Diablo II and Resident Evil 4 Only one game per series. The final four in that contest were SSBM, Half-Life 2, WoW, and Halo 1. --- Why did I pick Brawl to win the contest? |

The 9 seed has beaten the 8 seed every match so far in this contest. Streak will probably end with Vice City vs Silent Hill 2 --- Name: Flex FC: 4510 7199 0698 |

Surely Europe going to bed will be countered by Asia waking up? Not really. North America will dominate the second night vote, so it won't matter that Asia and Oceania will do better in the second night vote. Last 6 hours of the continent poll trend chart: Time | Africa | Asia | Oceania | Europe | North/South America 7:00 | 0.41% | 1.46% | 1.49% | 12.15% | 79.62% | 4.87% 8:00 | 0.14% | 1.76% | 2.33% | 8.73% | 82.15% | 4.89% 9:00 | 0.46% | 2.07% | 2.84% | 6.56% | 83.23% | 4.84% 10:00 | 0.49% | 2.38% | 2.76% | 4.27% | 85.31% | 4.79% 11:00 | 0.40% | 3.17% | 3.20% | 2.19% | 86.33% | 4.71% 12:00 | 0.33% | 3.31% | 3.72% | 2.13% | 86.42% | 4.09% --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Dr_Football, Guru Champ! |

I
know nothing about Borderlands's trends, but I'm not even sure Vesperia
even gets a day vote. Fable proved the whole "Xbox ASV" wrong as it
struggled with TF2 in the ASV. It's mostly Xbox 360 shooters that have
the good ASV. Actually, all that proved was that rallying can cancel out the ASV. For the record, both Borderlands and ToV have better vote percentages in NA than the rest of the world, which shows they both have ASV trends. But I think Borderlands has the edge in that area as well. |

Ah,
fair, I didn't know the difference was THAT big. I assumed Europe's
larger vote would be made up for by Asia favouring Tales more, but
that's too big a gap to make up I'm pretty sure. --- James - Board 8's Resident Warm And Safe, Slipper-Wearing User & The Cream of Porcupine Tree Fanboyism |

-LusterSoldier- | Posted 11/5/2010 9:46:44 AM | message detail |
African voting block will counter everything. The only reason Africa is all over the place in that trend chart is because a huge majority of those votes aren't even from Africa. Just 31.39% (129 out of the 411 Africa votes) of the Africa votes were from Africa. Almost half of those 411 votes came from the US alone. Ah, fair, I didn't know the difference was THAT big. I assumed Europe's larger vote would be made up for by Asia favouring Tales more, but that's too big a gap to make up I'm pretty sure. Full trend chart for the continent poll: http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=0AgBWiYjlMLwYdHpEYmJDdktneHBQQXNoVXdLcUY3cEE&gid=2 Europe is just insane overnight. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Dr_Football, Guru Champ! |

i'm banking on that..there's just no way to tell hwo strong they are. Persona 4 would beat CIV4 but damn it's too close to call. For me the head scratcher is Dead rising vs. TWEWY --- http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l271/Mithos_2006/Ayaneff13.png |

For me the head scratcher is Dead rising vs. TWEWY I think TWEWY/DS is going to be as close as GS/R&C: UYA. Persona 4 would beat Civ4 easily, and even if Persona 3 is weaker, I think P3 has got this.

Yesss Borderlands. Glad to see GameFAQs has a little respect for such an underappreciated game :) --- 26/33 points - GameFAQs' Game of the Decade Contest NP: Final Fantasy X > Viewtiful Joe | Borderlands > Tales of Vesperia |

There is no way Dead Rising is even close to Borderlands. If anything, this match makes TWEWY look a lot better. --- DFF |
pjbasis | Posted 11/5/2010 10:00:16 AM | message detail |
TWEWY is probably stronger than Vesperia. But Dead Rising is undoubtedly weaker than Borderlands. |

how do we know TWEWY > Vesperia? at least vesperia has the Tales name. The other is an obscure handheld RPG. --- ... |
Big Bob | Posted 11/5/2010 10:03:28 AM | message detail |
Actually,
Persona 3 has the potential to be stronger than P4. It's been
re-released twice, and brought the SMT series into the spotlight. Atlus
wouldn't be remaking P1&2 if not for Persona 3's success. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/Mach+Tornado.png |

Just noticed i've got Persona 4 beating TWEWY.If TWEWY fails against Dead Rising can Persona 4 beat Dead Rising In that case, it will probably struggle. Otherwise, P4 vs. TWEWY should be a pretty easy victory for P4. --- "I remember a time when someone called World of Warcraft 'World of WoW'" |

So what's everyone expecting tonight? Golden Sun Over/Under 60%? --- DFF |

Eh.
To be honest, there isn't single poll in the history of GameFAQs where
anything from Ratchet and Clank looks anything but terrible http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=1872 Pretty sure we all take Golden Sun over Star Ocean 3. Yeah it's GotY, but...all the polls are like that. --- DFF |

From: KamikazePotato | #288 Yeah, let's ignore 68% on Eddie Riggs, 43% on Jecht at night (Ratchet would've pushed for 45% in a day match or 24 hour match), and winning a PS3 GOTY poll! --- "So cold. I am always by your side." "There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!" |

I've
never gotten why Ratchet is so weak, though. Its the main new platform
series of the 2000s, and the platform series of the 90s are popular
here. --- Epona > any Western character in CB9! http://i.neoseeker.com/ca/fallout_new_vegas_conceptart_7XvFK.jpg |

From: NoDicePwn | #292 Honestly, platformers that aren't Mario aren't popular here, and 3-D platformers are especially weak (Mario 64 is the exception to that rule, big time).

Look at Sonic games, Mega Man games, DKC games... While thats true, I was talking more about Ratchet as a character.
