GTA4 is probably weaker, but I don't think there's an argument to be made for the others. --- DFF |

From: Lord_Yggdrassil | #050 I'm the guy that coined "LOL 4-ways" <_< I don't even call 4-ways legit contests, but it's not like the games are going to have wildly different strength values this time around.

From: UltimaterializerX | #048 Prime just isn't the kind of game that is loved by everyone because it's not an RPG or a standard shooter type. The type of game it is makes it less appealing to a hell of a lot of people. Doesn't stop it from being hugely respected game. To call the fans embarassing is a bit silly. You act like Metroid is some uber strong game in this contest...it's not. --- http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l271/Mithos_2006/mithos.png |

I
just looked at the update chart from this morning, and god damn. God of
War doing that is nuts given the trends last year, and I'm glad to see
GoW finally get out of the second round (4-ways don't count). Makes me
wonder how a day match would have gone. --- `·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.· http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4099/4914979539_7515897526_b.jpg |

bad - it's the morning vote that's awful. Which is weird considering
the ASV. --- DFF |

Ulti, the GTA games looked better in 4-way setting than head-to-head. And so far, they've looked pretty bad in every match. Which is why this match ain't too good for Half-Life 2. But on the flipside, Metroid Prime look okay. Not very strong but it has enough to take on Half-Life 2. If I had HL2 in my bracket, I'd start being worried about this result. HL2 needed a low 60s result to have a clear advantage. --- "You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life." ~ Winston Churchill |

They've
looked bad in every match? GTA3 did fine. SA did fine. GTA4 probably
did worse than last year, but it's also what everyone expected. The
only bomb was Vice City. --- DFF |

My
bias is definitely towards Half-Life 2 (insofar as it's in my bracket;
I like both games), but I don't think this is a great performance from
it. It's definitely enough to put it in the same bracket as Metroid
Prime. I've x-stated through MP/DMC3/DMC/KOTOR/GTAIII/HL2 and
MP/KH/KH2/Halo 2/Halo/KOTOR/GTAIII/HL2 and they look close both ways.
The only thing round two of this division has confirmed for me is that
God of War and Okami are dead dogs, and both MP and HL2 are still alive. --- I predict and analyse the Game of the Decade contest here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/56817040 |

From: EvilNcr | #061 Every single part of this post is wrong. The GTA games look fine; the characters are the ones who bomb every year, and people are letting that cloud their reasoning. They looked fine last year, too. This year, let's see.... GTA3 > LBP was fine RSE = GTA4 and needing a rally to win is fine (makes GSC look awesome, btw) SA > RE4 in space was fine Vice City > SH2 was fine (SH2 was going to get a boost in strength after Yahtzee's review, and the same probably happens for SotC) And then the current match, which is also fine unless you think ALL of Paper Mario's votes go to Prime if you remove it from that poll. There's really no issue here at all. --- ~*ST*~ ~*ST*~ ~*ST*~ ~*ST*~ ~*ST*~ ~*ST*~ ~*ST*~ ~*ST*~ ~*ST*~ ~*ST*~ ~*ST*~ ~*ST*~ ~*ST*~ ~*ST*~ ~*ST*~ ~*ST*~ ~*ST*~ ~*ST*~ ~*ST*~ ~*ST*~ |

I
thought HL2 would do better, but that's probably the HL2 > FO3
talking. GTA is not a weak series and anyone expecting GS to win
because SA is weak is in for a surprise. Vice city wouold do well to get doubled by RE4. Prepare to be surprised then. --- BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls GotD Bracket: 68/76 Today's Matches: GoW & HL2 |

Problem is that you're making up random expectations.

From: UltimaterializerX | #081 except the game was pretty popular when it came out and SH was a huge hit on PS. SH in general is a fairly poular franchise for a pure horror game.

I
can vouch for the Yahtzee thing, at least to an extent.. I have seen a

Hmm,
Vice City got 38.6% on Kingdom Hearts (R1 '09). Assuming RE4 is very
slightly stronger than KHII (see, R1 and R2 '09), and the KH games are
about equal, Vice City should be in the high 30s against RE4. If it's
higher, that makes KH look stronger than KHII, if it's lower that makes
KHII look stronger than KHI. --- I predict and analyse the Game of the Decade contest here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/56817040 |

From: Lord_Yggdrassil | #085 Yeah you're probably right. SH2 was stuck with FFX and MGS2 in the same poll (ouch) last year. Its actual strength was probably hidden.

After
what we just saw with the Halo series (and even the God of War series),
I don't get why people are still holding out hope for KH2 > 1 or

KH2
and KH1 were on the same console and is a complete coin toss . MGS2
would not beat MGS3 or 4 for that matter and that came out before them.
