From: charmander6000 | #447 You also come from a way different (and awesome) perspective, assuming that topic you made about the parade was true. And yeah, socially awkward people play games and tend to go on forums to deny their being socially awkward is why they can't pick up chicks. That's seriously the only point I'm trying to make here, which isn't unfair by any standard. So of course people will bash me for pointing it out and call me a jerk, for obvious reasons. How did we even get on this subject again? You know the match is boring when we're talking about the social ramifications of embracing one's inner nerd at the expense of everything else. --- "I'm sorry, but calling Charizard A Pokemon is calling The Fonz a Fonz.

Dead
Rising vs Persona 4 is definitely a match I can agree will be
interesting. I want to say I feel like P4 is stronger than TWEWY so I
think it has a decent shot at pulling off an upset. If I remember right
DR only beat TWEWY by a little bit. What game do most people have
winning this match? I think it's probably one of the R2 matches with
the closest chance of an upset. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |

I don't think there'd be any debate if this was a night match, but I think even as a day match, P4 is significantly stronger than TWEWY so that we'll be looking at something like a 52/48 win for P4. --- PSN - Aevio Playing: Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes |

From: ZFS | #458 Fixed. And it's not even an argument. All I said is the typical gamer can't pick up the typical girl, because the typical girl opts for a more powerful type of partner to get the best offspring possible. This is just straight genetics meets society stuff, and I don't think anyone here denies being a gamer is frowned upon by society. The only issue are people predictably chiming in like they're the exception when they're clearly not (well Lightning Strikes might be, dude's manly as f***). Hell, I'm not even the exception to this.

From: swordz9 | #460 The one real argument on this is that Dead Rising started to pull away from TWEWY once the morning hit, and since it's a day match it's not in favorable conditions for Persona 4. The question is, how much stronger is P4 than TWEWY. --- http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=207 |
UltimaterializerX | Posted 11/28/2010 2:30:46 PM | message detail |
From: swordz9 | #460 Dead Rising is clearly a day game, if the last round is any indication. If this was all 24 hours matches, I'd probably think Persona > DR > TWEWY. But 12 day hours and I think DR takes it. --- `·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.· "Ulti makes everything better." -PrinceReva |

Admittedly, text makes it hard to determine "tone" when having a discussion, but it seemed pretty "you're a loser, accept it" to me.

How
is Persona's day and night vote anyways? It doesn't seem like there
would be much information to work with for that due to the games only
appearing in maybe 3 contest matches ever now. I'm just going to assume
that if Persona 3 does respectably against a game of Final Fantasy IX's
level then Persona 4 should have a decent chance of taking out Dead
Rising. I'm not quite sure what percentage would look respectable
though since P3 is probably getting doubled or tripled if I had to
guess. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
Greyfeld | Posted 11/28/2010 2:47:08 PM | message detail |
Persona
does better at night, with a fantastic Asian vote, and a decent vote
from Europe and Oceana. DR is expected to have a decent day vote due to
winning from the morning vote against TWEWY. But considering it only
won with less than 700 votes, even after the morning vote kicked in, I
have serious doubts about its actual strength. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3164 2 1/2 years ago, TWEWY barely edges out P3. However, since then we've had the release of P3 on the PSP, and P4 in all regions. Also, there's no evidence to support the theory, but many of us believe P4 is stronger than P3.

I wouldn't use that poll since people tend not to flock to remakes. Plus there's the whole thing about both games got a combine 8% in that poll. --- BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls GotD Bracket: 84/92 Today's Matches: KH2 & KH |

I
don't buy P4 being stronger than 3, despite being preferred by the
fanbase. It was one of the absolute last PS2 games (so it sold like 10
copies), while P3 has gotten two releases and has the "older games have
an advantage" thing. --- "The metal board doesn't hate music that isn't metal. They hate music that's bad." -Lucid Faia |
Greyfeld | Posted 11/28/2010 2:56:03 PM | message detail |
Considering
the lack of poll information we have to work on, it's pretty much the
best we have. All we really need is a comparison to work off of though,
not an actual strength rating, and with a lack of any other RPGs in the
poll, the SFF should be minimal. Also, I know remakes don't always go over as well as the original, but FES seemed to have gotten a lot of love, so it's not to far-fetched to believe that a handheld port could have turned a few heads as well. Granted, a port isn't going to cause a huge swing in votes, but in potentially close matches like the one coming up, it can make the difference. --- PSN - Aevio Playing: Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes |
KamikazePotato | Posted 11/28/2010 2:56:13 PM | message detail |
I
think P4 sold more than P3 (or at least more than FES). P4 actually got
a ton of notice when it came out specifically for being a budget priced
amazing game. It's also preferred by the fanbase. 3 could be stronger,
but I think the general feel everyone has gotten is that 4 would be a
little stronger than 3. --- DFF |

swordz9 | Posted 11/28/2010 2:57:50 PM | message detail |
I
believe P4 is stronger than P3 as well. It seems to be the fan favorite
among the two. Of course there's no evidence to support it being
stronger since the two will probably never be in a poll together, but
P4 definitely seems to be the favorite, especially on this board. I
believe P4 also sold better overseas than P3+P3FES, but I'm not certain. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |

This isn't a case like Halo/Halo3 or DMC/DMC3 where the original laid the groundwork and the sequel just expanded on it, making the first one "better" through nostalgia. This is more like Final Fantasy, where the sequels are two completely separate entities, and have power based on their own merits. --- PSN - Aevio Playing: Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes |
WhiteLens | Posted 11/28/2010 3:02:25 PM | message detail |
Persona 4 was actually pretty high selling and it got it's name out a lot through word of mouth. That said whichever game that is stronger is pretty negligible in the grand scheme of things. They're probably equal and wouldn't get far if they weren't facing games that no one cares about on this site. And if you want to take day votes into consideration: TWEWY vs DR http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=4111 ToS vs GoW http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=4139 That's a big difference in a boosting from the morning vote. --- http://www.backloggery.com/whitelens http://myanimelist.net/profile/WhiteLens |

Still a significant day vote advantage for Dead Rising. Also, ToS has a horrific morning vote while GoW has a great one, so it's a double whammy effect, so to speak. --- It takes a genius to make something simple truly great.

I don't think they will stay on for too long, because I picked San Andreas > Golden Sun, which could be possible. If I get that match right, my WoW > Paper Mario pick is almost certainly going to kick my accounts off the leaderboard. Great job by the -4s and -6s.

Yeah,
I've always just assumed Persona 4 is the stronger of the two, and I'm
one of the ones who prefers Persona 3. Persona 4 is just much more
liked among the fanbase, as far as I can tell, and since neither is
some kind of juggernaut, I figured that alone would be enough to get P4
> P3. Then again, I suppose I could kind of buy that anyone who votes for one is almost certainly going to vote for the other in the majority of cases, and so you could basically treat them as equal, and only worry about P3 v P4 in a hypothetical direct match. But that's not too helpful. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (79/94) MW2 v KH |

Well,
in all fairness, RSE's reputation seems to have improved over time.
There's actually quite a bit of demand for a 3DS remake, and in
general, I've noticed a surprisingly large number of people waxing
nostalgic about it. But yeah, GS does seem to be better liked. A lot of people seem to think it's just a random GBA game, but really, a lot of people consider it one of the system's crown jewels. --- CURRENT GOTY SCORE: 87 Golden Sun/San Andreas: Also known as "My Worst Nightmare." |

I would have taken (and still do take) RSE > GS. But to me Golden Sun just plain looked better than San Andreas. We're talking about failing to double a game that is most likely terrible, terrible fodder. I hate to use GotY polls, but there's only so much faith I'm willing to put in Dead Space when the argument for it not being terrible, terrible fodder is 'X game from Y series that consistently disappoints isn't going to disappoint this year!' when we have some amount of evidence of it being terrible fodder. The first Golden Sun in years being released on a system that doesn't have a Golden Sun out yet on the day of the match is just the icing to make it easier. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png "SEXTON HILLBEAST" - TimJab |
