I have no idea why Allen chose my other one.

On a different note, what are GSC's chances against Majora if it gets this? http://img593.imageshack.us/img593/6255/pokemongsc.png

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.

I save all my pictures, so yeah: http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/962/halo3b.png

Looks way better than the cover art, personally, but what can you do.

That's beautiful. I dunno why Allen would choose the picture we pretty much already had.

I dunno why you would submit the picture we pretty much already had ;>_>

Yissh... my first thoughts are "more grey!!!" It really lacks colors.

That's the fault of gaming's current art direction, really. GRAY AND BROWN BABY

Oh, I actually rewatched Ironman. Still bored me. I'm just not into CGI stuff most of the time.
My exceptions are the charming action flicks like Die Hard or Beverly Hill Cops.
Oh and say... replace American Beauty with Lost in Translation.

Eh, I thought it was enjoyable. It has two great actors, and I think Iron Man in general is a "fun" superhero, but whatever. Lost in Translation is great, though.

I like the concept but the background comes out a bit too much like a blurry mess. The sprites and the "Gold Silver Crystal" part doesn't really stand out with the background like that. It might work better if the background was faded more. I'm not sure if it would be better to keep or ditch the blue effect altogether on the background.

I dunno if SF4's doing better than I thought it would or UC2 doing worse. Hopefully worse so Halo > UC2 looks even better!

Either way, 2009's GotY-polls are all sorts of whacked now.

I think the reason why Halo had a lower prediction percent was because some of the causals remembered Hayabusa > Master Chief and took Ninja Gaiden.

Lord_Yggdrassil | Posted 11/22/2010 5:11:09 AM | message detail

I would bet NG as being a fairly competent game.but there was heavy SFF there because they were both established on Xbox and were Xbox greats. It asically came down to the fanbase of both and NG even getting half on Halo was a great achievement. When it's Ryu/MC there are so many other factors lthat didn't even involve the actual games.

Maybe you guys think Symphonia is really weak or something, but RE5 hung with it pretty well.
I'd take it to beat Uncharted pretty easily.

You can't put them in order from no.5 onwards.I'd put AC2 above RE5 and SFIV. And have a top 5 of Batman, DA, Uncharted 2, MW2 and AC2.

I'd take it to beat Uncharted pretty easily.

It hung on because symphonia is a 5 year old RPG on the friggin Gamecube and RE5 is a modern console multiplat that is the successor to oen of the top games in this competition. You put AC2 in there in replace of ToS and RE5 probably doesn't get the "WTF is this anime BS i never played" votes.

Match LXVIII: (7) Halo 3 vs. (2) Halo: Combat Evolved

Last Round

Halo 3 – 52.53%
Super Mario Sunshine – 47.47%

Halo: Combat Evolved – 64.45%
Ninja Gaiden – 35.55%

Analysis

I assume this is one of those same series matches that SBAllen set up. While some of them have been quite hyped with people having no idea which game will win this one is not one of them. While some people do think Halo 3 may have a chance the main discussion has been whether or not Halo is going to pull some SFF.

The main arguments for Halo 3 that I’ve heard is that from an unbiased view Halo 3 is the better game, but we could do the same for other series and find that sometimes the technical better game is actually weaker since people tend to have fond memories of the original. The other argument is that GameFAQs never liked the Xbox while the Xbox360 was more accepted. While it is true GameFAQs’ attitude towards the Xbox changed near the end of its lifespan as people began to accept it as a legit console.

It’s hard to predict a percent in a SFF match since there are a lot of possibilities. I don’t think it will be a massive beat down since even among Halo fans there are people who prefer Halo 3 and that if you remove SFF the match between the two would probably be close which means for Halo to approach a high percentage it would have to SFF Halo 3 by a higher degree.

charmander6000’s Bracket: Halo: Combat Evolved > Halo 3

charmander6000’s Prediction: Halo: Combat Evolved wins, 63.21% - 36.79%

DArk Dawn comes out on 29th. it may not be enough to put GS above SA but it will be a huge factor. GS isn't some turbo fdder, it's actually quite popular and has a lot of the nintendo fanbase backing it. It's going to be a close match..

Halo: CE is going to ravage this board vote so bad.

I've honestly wondered why CE is so clearly favored on Board 8, yet Brawl remains a clear favorite as well. Apart from Halo 2, the Melee/Brawl and Halo1/3 scenarios are very similar.

lightsout06 | Posted 11/22/2010 8:53:09 AM | message detail

I thought Melee was the favorite. Im a big Halo fan, and have more memories playing Halo 1 than 3. Maybe cause of nostalgia.
