oh man we need a bonus Male/Female poll quickly


Well, it would have to be in a location where these Tumblr voters can find the poll. Having it on the homepage is probably useless if the rally links directly to the voting page (that shows the bracket and other contest links). And if it was on the homepage, it would be pushed farther down on the page compared to a regular poll and be less visible.

I guess this match is on track for about 55000 votes based on the last hour and although vote totals probably drop off even more this hour, they have the potential to spike upwards again if this match is very close in the final hour.

It's not quite at the same level. Act 2 does have some unique missions in it, but it's a lot of retreads, sadly.


This just makes me sad. It's like Kojima took all the JUST A MOVIE WHERE'S MAH GAMEPLAY about 4 to heart and went the complete opposite direction for 5. The world is big, cool, but he could have had a big world AND a big story. The story is flat-out not there.


You actually DON'T have to replay those missions. I figured that out like halfway through. You have to listen to the yellow colour text tapes and yellow side ops and it will unlock more main missions.

Still stupid though.

And yeah I'm with you that Kojima took the "MGS4 is a movie" criticism way too hard. MGS5 is not what diehard fans wanted. There's so much filler it's ridiculous.

Um if overall votals die and rally votes stay on, doesn't that favor Undertale?

Undertale's not getting 60% of the "natural" gamefaqs votals.


Votals die for everyone including rallyers. They have to sleep sometime.


I mean, it's not THAT late. Match ends at 9 PM on west coast. And these are people who haven't voted before.

I expect that to be true at 5 AM, but not at 11 PM.

It depends how you tackle them tbh. I do the side missions to gathe pr stuff and try out different weapons. I also use different buddies for them too sometimes go stealth or just gun it out. Or ill call a helicopter to blow s*** up. The only really boring stuff was towards the end and missions that have terrible checkpoints but apart from that this isnt your sit down and go through a linear story.

You have to sink a lot of time into this game. It has its flaws but i think its one if the years best easily.

Even when you do the mini missions youve done are already done. So you can just do the thing you missed out like save prisoner from a certain place or get blueprint.

It's one of the best if you aren't really diehard into narrative pacing or MGS' story in general. The pacing is really, really bad. Every other MGS game moves at a very brisk speed and keeps you entertained and engaged. The story keeps moving in every damn room. MGSV takes like hours to move the plot one step.

Also the game is basically unfinished. They showed this in the collector's edition. In fact Act 2 feels very rushed and it clearly feels like their should be an Act 3.

If you actually care about the themes of MGS I consider it a failure too. For example it directly contradicts the message of MGS2 In MGS2 Hideo made the point that the player is NOT Snake, you are not some action hero, it's just a game, you need to get off the console and face reality and make something of your life; he turned your expectations on their head. It was absolutely brilliant game design. In MGSV he's like, oh you actually are Snake. You're so cool and awesome! Keep playing for 500 freaking hours now.

"This is all we have... when we die.."
If the Tumblr rally linked directly to the voting page (that shows the bracket and other contest links), there's probably going to be a huge load of people wanting to vote for Undertale after the match ends, but they'll see different matches instead. That should cause a rally spill over effect and could affect the results of tomorrow's matches during the early voting.

Yeah, as long as people keep sharing that note or whatever, people will come by and see the polls. Doesn't mean they'll stay and vote if they see Undertale's match is over, but we'll see.
