When do coffee shops close? This could predict some trends.

Luster isn't really fat, I'm unaware of LMS' girth though.

Coffee shop hipster vote is irrelevant. They're all voting from their coffee shops anyway due to the free WiFi.

Well I get half an hour of exercise almost every day, so I'm not that poorly off. I'm thinning down, as a matter of fact.

SotC is now down by 15 votes.

This board is obsessed with MGS and one person's opinions who happens to have a negative view of the game.

Yeah, Shadow of the Colossus is pretty universally respected, if not universally loved. The idea that you would have so many people who actually despise here is interesting.

I'd ask anyone who dislikes SotC how they'd rate Kingdom Hearts or Zelda games.

Correct. My weight is very far away from being fat. I'm only around 110 pounds, although it's worth noting that I'm only 5'0".

You can dislike an obscure, artsy, hipster game without only playing mainstream Squeenix/Nintendo stuff.

I don't know which is crazier, Luster's analysis on soft drink polls and 200+ accounts with contest entries, or LMS spending almost every waking second posting about the contest with meaningless content 90% of the time.

Well, I don't despise it, but I definitely wouldn't call it great. I'd hesitate to even call it good. 6/10 would probably be my ceiling for it.

It has parts where it really is great, but so many more where it's not.

Also, LMFAO SotC takes the lead.

Shadow of the Colossus is a hipster game?

Is that the common term that's used any time a game is good? Do you people even know what hipsters are? Or is this the same as "emo" a few years ago, a blanket term misused by people to describe young people they dislike.

Early analysis: MGS's percentage in North America is lower than World percentage, and SotC is currently decently ahead in Europe.

Things look fairly good for SotC early on.

Huh... y'know, if this really an upset outside of board expectations? I mean MGS2 was... big is the right word for it, at the time, but SotC has had a lot more staying power (for better or worse) and has more adamant "ART" supporters or whatever you call those people who like SotC.

I just have a bad feeling the site is going to show us up... again.

Wow, we struck a nerve, huh? There are plenty of good games that aren't hipster games.

SotC is a hipster game because people don't like it as a game, they like it as "an experience"

The 200+ accounts. I was also very interested in the soft drink polls, so I can understand that. LMS posts all that meaningless content presumably because he likes these contests and wants to contribute and nobody else is posting the content he's posting. The 200+ accounts just looks so time-consuming.....

I'm a bit confused by that, considering this board's massive hard on for MGS and the opinion of half the internet that MGS4 is much akin to a movie. Is MGS4 that much more of a "game" that SotC? And who makes the judgment call on what it means to enjoy something as a game?
