After getting bashed for being a movie for the past 7 years, such a decline should be expected. Great game but sad fate, RIP MGS4 --- Man is not the creature of circumstances. Circumstances are the creatures of man. |
I would take San Andreas to win 51/49 I just see a lot of backlash for MGS4 Of course this is RACISTfaqs so who knows --- Your signature is automatically appended to the bottom of every post you make. Your 'About Me' message is displayed on your profile page. You can include any in |
-LusterSoldier- posted... Team Rocket Elite posted...creativename can you double check if the poll updates for Pokemon vs TWEWY, MGS4 vs KH2 and TLOU vs Halo 3 are being collected properly? I think the script isn't automatically collecting the updates right now. I've been manually kicking off the updates so far. That's not what I mean. If I stop triggering manual update collection, the site does not seem to collect updates at all for those three matches. --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |

Okay then. In that case, I'll keep an eye on the updater. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
-Zelmor- posted... After getting bashed for being a movie for the past 7 years, such a decline should be expected. Then why is The Last of Us doing so well? Is it all Halo hate? --- Ole, ole, ole, ole. Ole! Ole! (Accents and inverted !-marks missing) On a bet with three other users on if a certain girl genie will be in Smash; I say no.

Pretty shocked about Portal. Sonic 2 has a shot now, though Portal 2 could have taken the Valve-throne too. --- M E N: nominate Metal Man in 20XX! http://i.imgur.com/Dr4NAeq.png |
transience posted... Melee vs. GSC would be interesting if we hadn't seen Majora/GSC. though maybe Pokemon is just a monster now. it's certainly got the performance of the day going on right now. Melee is outdoing Oracle predictions more than Pokemon is, I believe. LeonhartFour posted... creativename posted...But I had said before the contest that probably my biggest surprise was the lack of discussion Melee vs. FF7 was getting. Well, I think Melee takes FFX there. I know FFX was closer to Majora but the Brawl that Melee had to face may have been stronger than what MM faced. But mostly I feel this site will rally Melee. It's got more board support than FFX, and the board is disproportionately influential because of rallying. One good thing for FF7 is that vote totals seem to be higher than most expected. From the Guru, most tiebreakers were around 3 million or low to mid 3 million. We may see closer to 5 million. And Luster seemed to expect lower votals as well...? Luster, what votals were you expecting? --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Melee is falling quickly though. GSC is staying constant. --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
I
was expecting vote totals in the 3 million to 4 million range, which
means an average of about 23500 to 31500 votes per match. The regular
polls were averaging about 20000 votes per day prior to the start of
this contest. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! (edited 11/5/2015 10:03:24 PM)report |
Also, if this is indicative of a MGS series drop (not sold on that yet) I might be kicking myself for flipping on RE4/MGS. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
although it did just rock that last update! maybe it can stay above 70%. --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
HaRRicH posted... Pretty shocked about Portal. Sonic 2 has a shot now, though Portal 2 could have taken the Valve-throne too. I'm feeling VERY good about Sonic now between this and the MMX match (unless some really weird things were true like Portal 2 >> Portal or something). --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
GranzonEx posted... Xbots have moved on from this site explains why Halo is getting dumped on This would support the idea of 2013 hurting Microsoft, Xbox, and its brands. That was a brutal year for their PR, and they were arrogant about it too...it's just not recovering on GameFAQs, not this generation anyway. --- M E N: nominate Metal Man in 20XX! http://i.imgur.com/Dr4NAeq.png |
creativename posted... Well, I think Melee takes FFX there. I know FFX was closer to Majora but the Brawl that Melee had to face may have been stronger than what MM faced. Well, it might have to beat CT instead of FFX. CT would be much harder to rally against than FFX. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Vote totals always go up during contest time. Also the first day also tends to get above average vote totals. --- BGE3: Today's Matches SSBM>Portal, Pokemon GSC>TWEWY, KHII>MGS4, TLoU>Halo 3 Points 2/4 |
Wouldn't HL2 be on the Valve throne? I don't think Portal 2 is much stronger than the first one. --- Your signature is automatically appended to the bottom of every post you make. Your 'About Me' message is displayed on your profile page. You can include any in |
xp1337 posted... Also, if this is indicative of a MGS series drop (not sold on that yet) I might be kicking myself for flipping on RE4/MGS. Nah, don't take this as a referendum on MGS as a whole. I think it might be weaker overall, but MGS4 definitely took the hardest hit. If there's such a thing as anti-nostalgia, MGS4 has it. The older that game gets, the less people like it. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
I
could see Melee getting a little bit of rallying against RBY. I'm not
sure if I should laugh or cry if the final is OOT/Melee though. I will
be rooting for OOT to absolutely flatten Melee with the crushing power
of SFF, to stay in character for a Zelda drone. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
if you want the absolute biggest finals beatdown possible you should be rooting for Mario 64 to get there --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |

My thoughts on this match: 1. This honestly isn't very indicative of any game's strength outside of The Last of Us being decent. Portal 1, TWEWY, and MGS4 all have reasons to do really badly here. 2. Don't think MGS1/2/3 will be any different from before. That's about it! --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
One hour comparisons of today's matches vs. yesterday's matches: Melee/Portal - 3797 Pokemon GSC/TWEWY - 3732 MGS4/KHII - 3689 TLoU/Halo 3 - 3627 CT/R&C - 3676 DQ8/Persona 3 - 3543 Batman/MMX - 3611 FFX/Half-Life - 3629 Vote totals today seem to be higher, probably since the casuals are more familiar with the new voting interface. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Well, I need TLoU to continue to impress....it would help my bracket. --- http://i.imgur.com/dpIEizf.gif |
HaRRicH posted... GranzonEx posted...Xbots have moved on from this site explains why Halo is getting dumped on http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/6042-got-halo-5 More than 80% of the site either doesn't own the new Xbox or doesn't care about Halo at all these days. Ouch. --- Congrats to 2013 Guru champ raytan! |
KamikazePotato posted... My thoughts on this match: I agree with this. The takeaway here is that TLOU is semi-legit and MAYBE that rubs off on UC2. MGS4 looking like an old GTA game here is unexpected but it's not like we expect great things from FFXII or anything. Strong series can have weak entrants. Except Zelda. --- Board 8's Voice of Reason http://i.imgur.com/chXIw06.jpg |

Whoa, nearly 66% update for KH2. Eddv posted... I would still take skyward sword to double MGS4 based on this performance! Skyward Sword probably wins, but double? that would put it on TP's level based on GOTD KH2 --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
SS gets a lot of antivotes I don't think it would double MGS4 even in this state --- Your signature is automatically appended to the bottom of every post you make. Your 'About Me' message is displayed on your profile page. You can include any in |
Not
sure why are people surprised by TLOU performance here, it was a clear
winner here AND should win the next match as well, doesn't matter that
it's KHII Just look at the f***ing polls http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/4744-which-e3-featured-game-are-you-most-looking-forward-to http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/4967-which-upcoming-original-title-are-you-most-looking-forward http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/5102-which-scheduled-june-release-are-you-most-looking-forward-to http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/5349-which-nominee-for-the-2013-vgx-game-of-the-year-do-you-think (Beating Super Mario 3D World) http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/5375-best-of-2013-playstation-3 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/5382-best-of-2013-game-of-the-year You can claim ALBW is a handheld game and so it's weaker, BUT IT'S STILL A MAINLINE ZELDA GAME Although it suffered from vote splitting, as we can see in - http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/5383-best-of-2013-game-of-the-year-final Dragged down by GTA V It doesn't look so hot in the "sequels" polls and the remasters polls, but it doesn't mean much If anything I would say TLOU if underperforming here, really --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
LeonhartFour posted... Whoa, nearly 66% update for KH2. I actually think TP is about the baseline for Zelda anything. Link's Awakening is a stats aberration due to its bracket placement and the extremely clear pecking order that exists between Zelda games. --- Board 8's Voice of Reason http://i.imgur.com/chXIw06.jpg |
HaRRicH posted... GranzonEx posted...Xbots have moved on from this site explains why Halo is getting dumped on That should affect the future of Xbox on this site, but I doubt that it affects old games particularly much. Halo just hasn't been too relevant for a long time, and the Game Fuel year is the only time the games or Chief actually looked good. LeonhartFour posted... creativename posted...Well, I think Melee takes FFX there. I know FFX was closer to Majora but the Brawl that Melee had to face may have been stronger than what MM faced. I agree with this. FFX/CT is hard to call, and CT if it wins will be harder to beat than FFX. Pre-contest I picked FFX because I wasn't sure CT would maintain strength. Yesterday's result indicates mainly that R&C is turbofodder, but it does send a signal against the CT decline theory. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Ah,
I figured out the error. Usually I increment each poll ID by 1 daily,
but forgot to account that polls IDs are going up by 4 each day :) When it switches to 2 polls - for round 3 is it? - there might be an issue again if I don't remember to correct it. So if something happens for round 3, please remind me :) --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
KHII
is stabilizing, good for it. Happy to see that KH is still strongish.
Have to say TLOU is surprising me. Not a bad showing. All in all, a way
more beatdown oriented day than expected. |
Would take Portal over HL without much consideration so Melee is looking mightily strong here. --- Man is not the creature of circumstances. Circumstances are the creatures of man. |
I
have a weird hunch that the reason TLOU is beating Halo 3 by that much
of a margin is that people aren't really just voting for the games but
they're voting for them as stand-ins for Xbox or PlayStation if they
haven't played or care about either, and GameFAQs heavily favors
PlayStation as a platform over Xbox. I mean, they're pretty much both
platforms' most important exclusive from the last generation. --- RIP in Pieces GamerJM, 2007-2015. You will be missed. #UnPermabanJim |
Well, we've seen a lot of overperformances (relative to expectations, of course) so far, so who knows what it means yet. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
