MGS2 > MGS4 aw yeah

And by that, I'm sure you meant MGS4 > Shadow of the Colossus > MGS2.

By the way, anyone else thinking that MGS2 over Banjo-Tooie is by far the easiest 7 v 10 of the contest so far?
MoogleKupo141 | Posted 11/15/2010 8:16:42 AM | message detail
Also comparing what Diablo II and MGS2 got on FFX (after adjusting for KH LFF) MGS4 is now expected to get about 48.88% on MGS2.

so, to summarize: we should totally ignore all of those stats

Yikes, only 63.5% for MGS4? I wasn't happy with MGS3's performance against fodder, but this may have been an even bigger underperformance.

Yes, it's pathetic, but could be explained by Diablo II being a PC game (PC gaming is not popular here) while Eternal Darkness is an obscure game that's very weak. Neither game will be good vote draws for the reasons I stated earlier.

MGS4 only had 73% taking it out of the first round. I wonder if among the casuals WoW is actually the favorite to take this division.

Not bad considering Assassin's Creed wasn't a pushover. All the -2s and -3s get it right be we lose a few -4s. The prediction percentage fall below 90 at -9 and falls rapidly from there.

2 people fell off the Top 50 today. MrMSTy and Mystical_Moon did not have MGS4 beating Assassin's Creed.

I fully expect it will be. IIRC, WoW was the favorite to beat MGS3 last contest

Diablo II > MGS4 bandwagon here we come

I predicted 75.50% on the MGS4 / AC match so that it would then get something like 70% on Diablo II.

This does not look good...

Both of these are great games. I hate to see ED losing by this margin, but Diablo 2 is a superb game at least.

Try harder what?

I love Eternal Darkness. More than any other game, I wish they'd make a next gen sequel.

But I don't feel that bad about it losing to Diablo II, which is a fantastic game.

Why would you predict that?? Diablo 2 is pretty strong in these contests.

Diablo 2 is never going to let ANY game get 70% on it, in my opinion.

Advokaiser | Posted 11/15/2010 9:33:05 AM | message detail
Oh, and also... I thought Diablo II wasn't going to be that strong in this match due to the Console game >>>>> PC game rule, like not breaking 65%. Really, is Eternal Darkness that obscure (lol irony)???

Basically its blizzard in general that avoids the PC Game Stigma. Sadly for WoW, it more than makes up for it with the MMO stigma.

KOTOR did a little better on DMC than AC. Diablo II>=KOTOR>=AC is probably the way it is, but that's not a big gap at all. Imagine if it's a day match.

I'd say in a 24 hour match, it would probably be like a 58-60% win for Diablo 2 over AC. Not enough to win over MGS4 obviously, but it should make it respectable

i thought MGS4 did fine against AC. It should still beat Diablo2.

No offense, but Eternal Darkness is an obvious "game with a loud fanbase but few people really played it". What diablo2 is doing is impressive, but MGS4 looked pretty good vs AC

AC and Altair have proven to be strong in these contests

Eternal Darkness is just fine, I think. It's a weak game; I could have believed it doing much worse than this. I see no way for Diablo II to beat MGS4. That's after discounting the fact that crazy things happen!

92% for WoW? Holy ish, man... if Paper Mario indeed beats it, the casuals are going to go down in flames

Yeah, seriously. I could see 70+% of brackets choosing WoW next round, and less than 20% for Paper Mario. I was one of the WoW brackets... it looks kinda grim for me. Regardless, WoW did better on MGS3 than PM did on Metroid Prime last game contest, so I won't count it out.
