I must say that is a pretty awesome box art for Crisis Core.

That's not the box art.

This is the exact opposite performance FF12 wanted to put out to still be competitive with Portal next round.

Bah, well there goes my bracket. I was convinced that no one in their right minds would vote for FFXII over anything...

This.

Farewell leaderboard, I'll enjoy my 12 hours in the spotlight.

Ya know, I never liked calling the freeze the "board vote." It's the freeze. It gets like 700-1000 votes. We influence maybe the first two minutes.

Zack lost the board vote. You will feel shame now.

This next update will be pretty telling. I haven't given up on it yet. Bracket votes do wonderous things (hello there morrowind)

Geez, what happened to ZackFaqs?

well Zack would crush every character in FF12 combined. Too bad this is about the games not characters.

[This message was deleted at the request of the original poster]

I'd guess right now that this ends up around 53-54%. CC has been displaying those FFVII trends so far (though you can't tell with just the first 5 minutes).

Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest.

Ill go do what I gotta do at the 1st update

There is absolutely 0% chance a FPS beats the biggest rpg of this generation on Gamefaqs.

Either way that is an awesome picture.

Ah well, I will hold my hand up and say I was foolish to back CC. It's exactly as someone said, mistaking Zack love for CC love. That and thinking that FF12 was hated.

You were just gushing over what the other Valve game did. That Valve game isn't as strong as the other one, not at all. L4D2 would own Gears 2.

81% on Infamous is far more impressive than what any Valve game has done. Hell, its more impressive than what some other elite games have done.

It probably wasn't going to be legitimately weaker than CC. I thought most CC supporters were counting on the fanbase rebelling against new Final Fantasy and championing and old favorite. Basically, rSFF.

Also why did people think FFXII was weak, did they not see the last contest?

FFXII rises on the 2nd update- by more than a percent too. Well that's that.
---

Pretty much. I read so much hate on FFXII, and I have sucbh a deep hatred towards the game myself, that I just thought people would take any opportunity they got to vote against it.

Still, I doubt it can beat Portal next round.

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.

People think that FFXII is weak because it isn't loved on Board 8
It's still a mainline FF game, guys

What? Was HL2 not the favorite over FF12?

But then FF12 did pretty well for itself

Oh please.

FFXII hate is everywhere. For the longest time, people would say it's an amazing feat in technology because the game can play itself for you.

No the one where it pulled almost 38% on Twilight Princess. Also HL2 was the guru favourite.

I remember a lot more vocal supporters of FF12 winning. Maybe HL2 was bracket favorite.

I still think XII has a great shot against Portal, by the way. Gears may be scrubbier than anyone anticipated.

While the overall prediction percentage doesn't look too good, the top tiers had pretty good performances. The -2s were a bit lacking with only 66% getting the match right but the tiers around them all broke 80. The two remaining -1s continue to get their matches right.

8 people fell off the Top 50. Pluto_70, PierreDevereaux, Reaper_Minion, severus513, Zyrxil, Tucker_BA, ViagraPolice and BRfan333 did not have Portal beating Gears of War 2.

2 people got it wrong and survived. Junkcar02 and carolinafan92 also did not have Portal beating Gears of War 2.

It still won a vote-in poll. There's only so weak it can be.

I debated taking Portal over FF12 but then after remembering how close HL2 was to FF12 I was like "....naaaaaaaaaaah"

Just wait until Shadow of the Colossus doubles The Sims or something.

yeah, i was really hoping this would be a nail-biter or a blowout. With this "meh" right in the middle crap, it's still impossible to gauge its strength against Portal.

Is Portal a night game or a day game?
---

Portal should be night oriented, though I don't think it should fall off that much in the day. FFXII has the definite advantage overnight though, nothing beats FF in night matches.

I don't know if I'm the only one, but I fully expect SotC/Sims to be another DX/RB2. I just don't see the sims having any power on this website after the horrible numbers put up by casual games this contest.

I'm playing through FFXII right now. It's not such a horrible game like FFXIII that I would imagine people would anti vote it to hell. It's weak but it's not THAT weak.

I have no idea what you're trying to say. SotC is the major favorite, you expect Sims to be able to pull off the upset or keep it close even though you don't think Sims has strength?

http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/9/2010/11/500x_vegasdude.jpg

Portal lost the night vote to Gears earlier, so it probably seems like a day game to me. Portal losing the night vote to Gears was weird because most Xbox exclusive games bomb with the night vote.
