sounds like a Tales game

though even the Tales fans are saying it's bad this time, so it must really be dreadful


where did you hear that?

Holy crap, I didn't even notice how 'well' Chaos Rings 2 was doing. What's the record for worst performance in a poll thus far?


Worst percentages of all time in any GameFAQs poll:

I listed all of the options that have gotten a percentage of 0.30% or less in a GameFAQs poll and also listed what poll they were in.

After looking more closely at Gravity Rush and Uncharted: Golden Abyss, a Vita-port of Persona 4 doing so well in comparison is weird...so Persona-fans are REALLY into their games, unless you think Darksiders 2 would give Xenoblade/Pokemon a run.

This is D3 being terrible. I don't think I've heard anyone say a positive thing about the game since it came out.

Not that I stay in particularly close touch with the D3 player base, but still.


I have been since day 1. I assure you that game is despised.

Judging by the early vote totals so far in today's poll, I think we might end up with about 34000 votes today. Compare that to yesterday's poll, which had almost 31000 votes. The higher vote totals in today's poll reflects the overall combined strength of these games compared to the games in yesterday's poll, even though Mass Effect 3 is stronger than any game from today's poll.

Yeah, most people who have played Persona 4 consider it one of if not the best RPGs. I've only ever really seen 1 or 2 people who don't like it anywhere.

17.36% Vita ownership rate.

Persona 4 Golden has 16.19% of the votes right now. I wonder just much higher this is than the ownership rate of P4G.

Yes, at that time. It's been a while since then so that number has probably fallen some. The last I heard about the sales was it being just shy of 200,000 copies sold in Japan around July.

Pokemon fan base is annoying . Also lol at people saying 13-2 would do well. Didn't people Learn from 2009? If its a crap game people won't vote for it. We all know if ff was a good game it wins this poll with ease.

Persona 4 is the strongest vita game by a mile confirmed. It's a shame it wasn't released on consoles, it would win this poll with ease if it was.

Great match, especially since XIII-2's wallowing in fifth place or whatever.

But it's neat to have such a close match between two games, with a third also being in a decent position to overtake both. This would make an interesting four-way match.

Man, this is an embarrassing showing for XIII-2. Gotta wonder if it's just the poor reception of the first game hurting it or if this is just FF in general being weaker nowadays.

I can't speak for Pokemon because i haven't touched it. But Xenoblade and Persona 4 are MILES better than FF13-2, it's not even close. IT doesn't matter if FF has a much bigger fanbase. It's got nothing to do with FF being weaker, it's got everything to do with 13-2 being a completely average video game.

This poll just shows that not enough people have played FFXIII-2. Best FF game since FFX.

This is a load of bollocks. I would say that more people have played FF13-2 than most of the games on that list. But the game just isn't very good. What about that can people not understand? Battle system is decent but the story and characters are horrific. Some of the worst in an RPG ever. FF13 and FF13-2 have some cool combat mechanics but honestly the story and characters are laughably bad.

I expected this ff13-2 result, and I don't think I'm alone. 13-2 is the least notable FF release probably ever, excluding spinoffs and handheld games. that game price bombed to $20 within weeks. if it had some hype behind it then it could have done well, but everyone is already skeptical after 13 and 13-2 didn't do anything to convince doubters that it would be a good game.

Dragon's Dogma is impressing me though. it could probably beat D3, ha.

I highly doubt that most of the people voting for P4G have actually played it. That's just P4 doing well, nothing else.

Played p4g, voted for it. It is superior to the original in every way.

That being said I also rather enjoyed xenoblade chronicles and wish more people got to play both games compared to pokemon, final fantasy and what not!

Back in 2002, Mario vs Cloud happened the day after Super Mario Sunshine was released. SMS brought in Mario fans who might not have normally visited GameFAQs on that day giving Mario and advantage over Cloud.

Earlier today, the next generation of Pokemon games was announced. This will increase the number of Pokemon fans that stop by GameFAQs today which gives Pokemon BW2 an advantage over Xenoblade.

Xenoblade has been hanging on relatively well despite that, but has been losing votes slowly over the last hour. Pokemon's kindergarten ASV augh

the day vote will probably make Xenoblade look pretty bad. I doubt Xenoblade has a Symphonia kind of day vote and it would probably need better than that to hang on.

Pokemon has a tiny advantage in North America/USA that will probably trend upward in its favor during the ASV while Xenoblade's significant advantage in Europe's will produce fewer votes soon. I'll be impressed if Xenoblade holds on...but it has been so far today, too.

If it goes to the wire, which do you trust more in the final update?

The kindergarten ASV doesn't exist on a site like this because most people that young don't even browse the internet. Even if they did play video games, it would be very simple games that are easy to beat (like Super Mario Bros.) which would not require an FAQ.

At the time you posted that message, the ASV did not start yet. Pokemon is known to have a bad morning vote. Pokemon's bad morning vote can be explained by older voters (26 and older) being more likely to vote during the morning vote instead of the night vote or the ASV. These older voters are usually voting in the morning since most of them have jobs and they vote in the poll sometime during their work hours. Older voters are very unlikely to play Pokemon games since most of Pokemon's support comes from people who were under the age of 13 at the time they bought their first Pokemon game/cards or started watching the Pokemon show.

Looking good for Xenoblade. If nothing else, this gives it a guaranteed spot in the GotY poll, and hopefully without a Pokemon game there to siphon votes.

Persona 4 Arena
Borderlands 2
XCOM: Enemy Unknown
Assassin's Creed III
New Super Mario Bros. U
The Walking Dead
Mass Effect 3
Xenoblade Chronicles


I think it has an excellent shot at top three there, possibly top two.

Assuming of course tomorrow's poll will not consist of the top 3 or 4 games from both RPG polls, which would result in the overall GotY poll with only one RPG game. I hope that does not happen.

I'd probably go ME3 > AC3 > Xenoblade if that's the final GOTY poll.

Maybe Xenoblade can beat out AC3, but that's my gut reaction right now looking at those games.

Mario

Mario for last. Xenoblade for a great finish; I'm very happy with what it has done today. These may not be strong representatives from rival series, but it's still winning a poll against names like Pokemon, Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, and Persona. I'm guessing it also benefits from a final poll against big competition because GameFAQs voters are savvy and they know that Xenoblade was extremely well received.
