DR seems like it might be stronger in the day, and I'd imagine Persona has a worse day vote than TWEWY. There's also no guarantee that Persona is stronger than TWEWY in the first place; I'd take both of tonight's games to beat Civilization.

Even if you took tonight's games to beat Civ (which I have serious reservations about), P4 is a tier above P3.

It's possible P3 is stronger. After all, P3 was rereleased many times and thus, more people may have been exposed to the game.

if TWEWY actually manages to win this match without ever losing the lead (very doubtful) it'll be hilarious

We don't actually know that, they could very well both be about the same

It'd be really weird if Dead Rising got within 5 votes only to never take the lead. I think the record for that must be whatever DK/Duck Hunt finished at, right?

It would be really funny if TWEWY could not extend its lead above 100 votes as well.

I'll defer to people who actually know the Persona series, but how many voters out there would actually vote for one without voting for the other? Is there anyone in the entire world who has Dead Rising sandwiched between two Persona games on their favorites list?

I'm a bit worried about Mario / MVC2 as well. This is the game that failed to make the final GOTY, despite being the sole Nintendo game in the poll. It is not strong on this site. MVC2 probably isn't strong either, but it definitely has a shot.

I'd imagine they'd be virtually equal. P3 vs. P4 comes down to which has the higher playrate on GameFAQs.

So true. I don't even like the game but I bought its art version just for the hell of having the box and the little art booklet. Figured I'd come around to get used to the game. Didn't. Still don't regret it because it looks cool.

As somebody who's played both games, and discussed them with other fans of the franchise, I can tell you that the fans who rank 3 and 4 equally are few and far between. The vast majority prefer 3 or 4. I, personally, thought 3 was boring and 4 was fantastic.

Persona 4 has probably been played by more people on Gamefaqs, but I don't know if it's much of a factor. They're probably about equal. I certainly wouldn't use the word "tier" to describe P4 over P3.

4 > civ iv > persona 3 > dead rising

4 is my favorite game of all time, and I love civ iv, and I am currently replaying 3 and love it too, and dead rising I gave an 8/10 review on gamefaqs to

... man, good bracket.

ok, greyfeld, but to the question at hand...given that you like Persona, is your gap in liking-ness such that you could find games that you would put P4 > other game > P3, and vote accordingly? And if so, is Dead Rising such a game? (Or TWEWY, or Civilization?)

Absolutely, for me. Dead Rising is close for me.

vcharon | Posted 11/9/2010 10:35:11 PM | message detail
I think that's an obvious answer. It's like asking someone if they like the Final Fantasy series all back to back as their favorite games. The answer usually (and should be) no.

Persona 4 is liked more than 3 from what I've seen. P4 was also played by more people as well. I don't know if P4 would be a "tier" above P3, but I imagine it's at least a little bit stronger, maybe around 2-4% since the game is still obscure. I love P3 and P4 evenly myself, but I'm probably the only person that would vote for them over every single game in the entire contest.

But seriously, I think I made a wise choice switching to DR at the last moment.

P4 is not "on a tier above" P3. P4 mightve been played more than P3, but im sure the people who played P4, loved it, but didnt play P3 will still vote P3

"I think that's an obvious answer. It's like asking someone if they like the Final Fantasy series all back to back as their favorite games. The answer usually (and should be) no."

FF has been made over a span of over 20 years, and the games vary greatly on quality. Not all game series do. So no, not an obvious answer until you ask someone who particularly likes a series.

For example, relative to the other games in the series, I hate Civ 3. Still, if you put Civ 3 in a match against something, I would vote for it the way I'd vote for any Civ game, in all likelihood.



And go DR!

Having never played Civ or DR, I couldn't speak for them. However, I would easily put TWEWY over P3 for my own personal preferences.

All this P3 vs. P4 talk reminds me of how much better the P4 protagonist is.
