This site generally isn't into MMORPGs that much, even it's something other than World of Warcraft. Although this loves RPGs, it doesn't like the MMO variety that much.

A lot of people know it's a DMC game. They just know it's going to be bad. I'm a huge DMC fan. I voted for GTA5.


More like they know it's going to be bad just because a lot of people think that Capcom has been a terrible company for quite a while. If you think Capcom is a terrible company, of course you will be skeptical about their ability to produce an excellent game.

DMC4 was a terrible game, but this upcoming DMC is looking so bad that DMC4 looks a lot better in comparison. I wish we get a DMC as awesome as DMC3.

Alright I got it to work.

Can't tell if this is gonna be something where all the mainstream characters are gonna stomp or well-loved obscure characters will make it through.

I'm defaulting to the former, so I have 6 MGS and 2 Silent Hill characters in the last eight.

I would count it because you are still physically located in another country. I voted for "Just one, that's as far as I've been" despite only being in Canada because of the Canadian side of Niagara Falls.

Random question: How strong would Sonic Adventure 1 be if it made a games contest? I'd wager that it'd be on Skies of Arcadia's level.

#223 | pjbasis | Posted 5/22/2012 11:12:36 PM | message detail | (edited)
Naw it would beat Skies handily.

It probably isn't all that much weaker than SA2 in all honesty.

Neither of those polls say anything about Sonic Adventure 1 vs. Sonic Adventure 2.

I'd probably pick Sonic Adventure to beat the likes of Grand Theft Auto IV, Halo 2, and World of Warcraft out of blind fanboy-ism.

Okay, how many of the following games would you take Sonic Adventure 1 over?

Soulcalibur
Halo 2
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Grand Theft Auto IV
World of Warcraft
Half-Life
Super Mario Sunshine
Gears of War
LittleBigPlanet
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind

If this was Sonic Adventure 2, I'd take it over Gears of War and maybe LittleBigPlanet. But since it's Sonic Adventure 1, none of them.

SA2 > SA1 is pretty accepted by the fanbase, but you're welcome to debate how SA1 would be popular enough to overcome the gap suggested by SA2/SF4/GTA4...

Hey LMS, please post what you believe GameFAQs's top 20 games and characters to be.

I want to compile the LMS-stats to see whether they're more accurate than the x-stats.

All the games I listed are below Sonic Adventure 2 in the GOTD x-stats (except for Soulcalibur and Half-Life, obviously, both of which are probably around the same strength level). However, I suppose it should be remembered that Sonic Adventure 2 may be overrated in the stats due to Fallout 3's overperformance on Brawl.

I thought the statement "Sonic Adventure beats Skies of Arcadia pretty handily" would automatically put Sonic Adventure at around GTAIV's level.

Wow, I'm in first place on the leaderboard right now in the Konami contest. It's too bad you can only see who won each match and not the percentage of votes each character got. You can't make X-Stats like this! I wonder if there's any way to ask them to put that data up.

I ended up getting a match wrong on day 2 in the Konami contest. I have no idea what I was thinking with putting Miller over Rat Patrol 01. Fortunately I've got Solidus taking down Miller in Round 2 so the damage isn't too bad.

Gamefaqs consoles ownership (as at 2:00 pm EST)

Wii: 62.86%
PS3: 60.12%
360: 54.64%

Hey Luster, if you have those data store somewhere, could you give up the history of consoles ownership (too lazy to compile all the polls)

Console ownership right here:

https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=0AgBWiYjlMLwYdDZFV2I1SFl4VXFDMjQ2RmJqUXJTd0E

I don't consider today's poll to be an accurate measure of console ownership. The Wii only has 63.06% ownership in this poll, while it normally gets around 69% in the past several "Got Wii?" polls. So this poll is hurting the Wii's ownership by about 6%.

Meanwhile, the Xbox 360 has 55.46% in today's poll, while it had about 59% in the past 3 "Got Xbox 360?" polls. So this poll is hurting the Xbox 360's ownership by about 3.5%.

For the PS3, it has 60.27% in this poll. In the past 2 "Got PlayStation 3?" polls, the PS3 had about 63%. So this poll is hurting the PS3's ownership by about 3%.

All 3 consoles in today's poll has a lower ownership compared to the ownership results for the "Got Console?" polls.

Ack, I got Vic Viper vs. Cornell wrong.

For some reason I looked at it and thought "Yes I was right!" but then my bracket said otherwise...

I knew that guy looked way too minor to have a good shot against the Gradius rep.

Percentages for the Round 1 matches are up. Only 1 person has a perfect bracket.

I finished Round 1 with 3 matches wrong. I got Rat Patrol 01 vs Miller, Heather Mason vs Vic Viper and Cornell vs Vic Viper wrong. I'm in 34th but I certainly hope to improve on that in Round 2.
