ctesjbuvf posted... Januzaj_Dragon posted...Brawl suffered from Sequel migration. As in SmashU just about made Brawl Obsolete hence why nominations for brawl were so bad. Smash NX will make Smash U Obsolete and so on. Melee is the only game that will have a longevity of core fans. Well i still think people don't like the wii hence there maybe some element of anti voting. We saw how brawl got antivoted in 2010. If we had a best system ever where would you put the wii? I'd say on the same tier as master system and Xbox original. |
creativename posted... l. I think this match would be competitive on most neutral gaming websites. I would agree, but I think both Galaxy and ME would be much more popular on other sites than they are here, too. Super Mario Galaxy: 12.59 million Super Mario Galaxy 2: 7.5 million Not totally sure about ME, but I think the series total sold about 14 million. Maybe someone else has a breakdown, but ME2 was undoubtedly the breakout game. It went multiplatform, it got huge reception, so I'd guess it and ME3 make up a big chunk of that. --- satoru iwata |
Looks like I woke up at the right time... Mass Effect even took the lead, briefly. --- BGE3: Today's Matches SSBWiiU>Planescape, SMG2>ME, Halo>Minecraft, FFVII>Journey Points 10/12 |
As of July 5, 2014, the Mass Effect series has sold a total of 14 million units. Of which Mass Effect 2 was 4.8. --- Conformity and rebellion...both ways are simple-minded--they are only for people who cannot cope with contradiction and ambiguity. |

But systems matter as much here as you're impliying. Brawl got anti-voted in 2010, because it had a real shot at the title and people had something that game in particular, not because of it being on the wii. --- My old signature was really outdated.

I
like both SMG2 and ME. Both have flaws (though I think the motion
controls are pretty minor compared to the dull-as-f*** tank sections,
god damn do those drag ME down and I'm glad the sequels nixed that s***)
but both are also a blast to play, so I'm happy with either one of
these games winning. Definitely a match that's worthy of being so damn close. e: Also for some reason I have 6 over 7 in my bracket and I'm definitely wary about that now since despite 6 looking damn good it's likely going to be another Mario/Samus situation. Guess I'll pray that Wind Waker beasts over both because people are sick of Final Fantasy always winning over Zelda games. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy IX - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3729662 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 (edited 11/8/2015 5:26:41 AM)report |

Wow close match. Voting SMG2 but I'm going to save my vote for when it really needs it. If ME takes the lead again then I'll use my vote for Galaxy 2. --- Shooting Game never die. It prays that the clover of luck be always in your mind. (edited 11/8/2015 5:30:00 AM)report |
Wind
waker isn't doing anything unfortunately. If MM was up against FFVI
there maybe some legit shot at it winning but even then it's a longshot.
I think LttP beats FFVI though comfortably. |

-LusterSoldier- posted... We actually have a page on the Board 8 wiki that tracks the all-time highest playrate for numerous games: I am surprised to see Sonic 1 ranking so high, and to a lesser extent Duck Hunt. In the past 10 years those have likely dropped a good bit though. I also thought more games had 80+% playrates. Even Ocarina was only at 80% in 2009, and it's more likely to have gone down then up. I'm gonna have to revise my "universal" playrate definition way down to like 75%. I wish Allen would do the four polls a day for playrate polls, I hunger for more data!! ZFS posted... creativename posted...l. I think this match would be competitive on most neutral gaming websites. Thanks! I had no idea SMG sold that many, damn. No wonder people expected so much more its first contest. And yeah both games would be much stronger on most sites. It still probably goes back to the site aging/no fresh users thing. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Be
funny if the site crashed in the last five minutes of the poll due to
refresh spamming and he couldn't get his vote in on time. Edit: Feeling pretty good about SMG2 as I head out for work. Survived the night vote well and should have better hours from here on. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information (edited 11/8/2015 5:38:54 AM)report |

Four votes --- BGE3: Today's Matches SSBWiiU>Planescape, SMG2>ME, Halo>Minecraft, FFVII>Journey Points 10/12 |
Mass Effects lead is slowly increasing in the US. I think ME will win the day vote. --- Conformity and rebellion...both ways are simple-minded--they are only for people who cannot cope with contradiction and ambiguity. |
Uugh noooo keep the lead Mario! Have to go to bed now though... --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Is the lead increasing in the US? It's up by so little. Then there's Montana just heavily favoring Mass Effect apparently. --- My old signature was really outdated. I haven't thought of a proper new one yet. |
I
choose when to vote based on a random number generator. I feel it makes
things more exciting when I vote at 2:37 am as opposed to 4:38 pm for a
80/20 match. ctesjbuvf posted... Mass Effect not giving up that easy! They'll probably get sick of me at least because I'm planning on running that joke to the ground. Though yeah definitely a longshot but with these votals anything can happen so why not pray to God for ridiculous s*** for happen since I'm sure God follows the GameFAQs contests closely and would willingly alter votals for the more amusing results. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy IX - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3729662 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |

SMG2
is increasing its lead. I predicted it to win but it would be
interesting to see a Mario game losing in the first round especially
since it's considered to be one of the best. --- Currently Playing: Metal Gear Solid 2 HD Edition (PS3), World of Warcraft (PC) http://myanimelist.net/profile/sword123 |

I
felt my bracket needed some upsets and thought that if people only
voting on one title in a match would match would make a difference at
some point, this should be the place. --- My old signature was really outdated. I haven't thought of a proper new one yet. |
So what do people prefer so far, multiple matches a day or 12-hour matches? Multiple matches means there's usually something interesting going on, but it also means things have pretty much died down by mid-day unless you have a close match going on, so I'm pretty split. Maybe two 12-hour polls would be neat. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy IX - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3729662 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |

I really like this format. --- Conformity and rebellion...both ways are simple-minded--they are only for people who cannot cope with contradiction and ambiguity. |
I
prefer multiple matches, maybe four is a bit much, but I'd rather have
to at once than two 12 hours polls. Just hate to see games lose due to
the time of day. --- My old signature was really outdated. I haven't thought of a proper new one yet. |
