Wait...
this is the second match MGS2 has had where Snake has been in the pic
instead of Raiden and it underperformed expectations by a little bit. I'm amused by my own thoughts. --- "Have you tried the rolling jump? We apes have no need to obey the laws of physics" - Cranky Kong |

From: Kamekguy | #154 I made pics for both characters. Honestly, I think Raiden's looks a bit better: http://img560.imageshack.us/img560/6083/mgs2b.png I have a love of samurais, what can I say. That said, Snake in the pic paired with SotC getting one of the worst pictures in contest history gets the brunt of the credit if MGS2 wins this close. And bless Menji's heart for such a thorough sabotage. Hell, it goes beyond sabotage into straight "Montreal screwjob" territory.

Oh
come on, that's my favorite theme from the game. The one that plays
when you're stabbing the s*** out of their magic weak points. Past all
the climbing, past all the shaking off, past all the trying to figure
out how to trick them how to expose themselves. If any theme fits the
game the best, it's the one where you're on top of the world. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/Mach+Tornado.png |

While it's nice to win prizes, sometimes the sense of satisfaction when seeing a game you love win a close match is worth just as much. If you save up enough money and get a good job, you can buy all the games you want. But SotC beating MGS2? You can't buy that with money. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/Mach+Tornado.png |
LeonhartFour | Posted 12/4/2010 11:35:32 AM | message detail |
And
as far as what this means for MGS3 or MGS4...Honestly, MGS3 was never
an "elite" game. I mean, it got, what, 56-57% on Oblivion last year?
That's not an elite game percentage. Yeah, it had that one really close
match with RE4 that I think kind of deceived everyone into thinking it
was really up there with the best of the best. I'm still not sure what
really happened there. Although I'm not sold that RE4 is really all that great either. I'll decide after I see what KH1/2 does against Twilight Princess. As for MGS4, I already addressed this. It has reason to be weaker than last time. I don't really think MGS3 is any weaker than before. As for MGS2, who knows. SOTC did legitimately well against RE4 and KH2. 35% on RE4 is pretty good, all things considered. MGS2 did manage 38% on FFX, but I dunno. That kind of feels like an overperformance now due to the fact that the other options were Morrowind and Silent Hill 2. We've seen second place games/characters overperform in 4-ways due to lack of big name competition before, and then it potentially had KH LFFing FFX in round 2 to kind of cover its overperformance (not unlike Liquid Snake in 2008, living on through this arm!). Granted, I'm just rambling at this point. I'm not sure how likely any of that is. I'm just throwing stuff out there. --- Support Morrigan Aensland (Darkstalkers) for Character Battle IX! http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/9302/banner5morrigan2.jpg |

Well
I have SOTC in my bracket so im not complaining, I just think its funny

I see a lot of people say like " Oh I hope this game wins even though it would ruin my bracket." Makes absolutely no sense at all. There are just times in these contests where a match unexpectedly has the chance to go in a direction nobody expected. If you combine that with the fact that only like 8 people will even get a prize, it's easy to see when "I would love to see this, even if it ruins my bracket" is a legitimate statement. --- PSN - Aevio BlackMageJawa - "I'm on a Goomba." |

According
to the LOL 4-ways, MGS2 was supposed to get 57% in this match. There's
a reason I don't mind SotC doing well, because my love of laughing at
4-ways and the people who enjoyed them trumps my hate for one video
game. On a side note, SotC's votes fell off a cliff the last 10 minutes. MGS has been really consistent. --- `·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.· "I trust the FDA." - Calvinball |

As
the above poster said 8 people out of more than 25.000 will get a
prize.So why to be excited if a game you have on your bracket wins?You
have such a slim change to earn a prize that it doesn't matter
anyway.Just have fun man. --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |

Actually,
I suppose MGS2 losing this match would end up giving us a more accurate
read on how close MGS2 is with the rest of the series. And I'd imagine
MGS4's going to get at least 55% there, since I don't imagine many of
us are taking SOTC > D2...yet. --- http://img.imgcake.com/leonpngpe.png http://img.imgcake.com/squalloweenpngem.png |

It
is just sad that all those mario and metal gear solid fanboys (yes, I
think its the proper term) had to destroy any credibility this contest
had by voting for paper mario and metal gear solid in favor of World of
Warcraft and diablo 2 respectively as the better game of them 2. But then, they admit it is just a popularity contest, yet they named it "Game of the decade". It is for this reason that this scam shouldn't be taken more seriously then some youtuber commenting on a Wow video "hey, paper mario is better then that game lulz" |
