I was more wondering how many votes Witcher 3 got in these rallies. If it only got like 10k that's not an issue for RE4.

Eh. Guess we'll see...!


It was definitely more then that.

Btw here's the rally link they did for that.

They have 122K Followers if that means anything.

Resident Evil (the original) could probably beat a game like San Andreas on the name alone or atleast come really close. I also think this Paper Mario performance on RE4 is a bit fluky. But it's because it's friggin Mario.

Except it's falling almost exactly in line with its performance on MGS3.

Two coinciding matches sounds more like a trend than a fluke!

I know nothing about Witcher. If it gets rallied are its fans likely to disproportionately vote for any other games up today or next round?

There's a certain heirarchy with games though, and Mario will always perform well against the MGSs and REs.

Except SMS.

that's part of Mario's inherent strength then and thus it isn't a fluke

Maybe people are reluctant to accept the possibility of RE4 = MGS3, given that persistent idea that RE4 could beat FFX in GOTD that never really panned out.

Or maybe they just want Paper Mario to actually be really really weak which I totally get, RE4 to bomb next round against, what, New Vegas, sure, why not, CONFIRMED

yeah it's not like 2009 and 2010 didn't both demonstrate that RE4 is only slightly stronger than MGS3 or anything

I see nothing wrong with MGS3 = RE4

Only downside is it makes MGS's win over it a bit more predictable!

There is no game hierarchy though, and PM's results are exactly what you'd expect on past results.

Our only weird results are due to SFF and rallies.

Again I stress this. A Witcher 3 rally is imminent. The only way it wouldn't happen is if they are too busy to notice or feel too humble to rally Witcher 3 in the Best Game Ever contest. Which is unlikely. They've pretty much rallied it in everything.


I dunno, I feel like rallying when your game is already winning has never been a thing and with a 70-30 split, I think it's so safe that no one will bother rallying.

Oh I doubt they'll rally this round. That would be silly.

I mean again, there is always a chance I'm wrong and they don't give a crap about GameFAQs but seeing their track record in the past, makes me think otherwise.

RE4 is such a good game. I have a real soft spot for it. I am a little disappointed with this result.
The only match not following critics' opinion is 84 rated Fallout: New Vegas beating 94 rated BioShock Infinite. A 10 point gap GFaqs doesn't give a f*** about!

I'd feel pretty decent about taking Paper Mario over MGS2!


Yeah,seriously. Paper Mario is probably the strongest after RE4.

People aren't giving Re4 enough credit here.

It's probably the 2nd strongest non rpg /nintendo game on this site.

You have to understand the types of games people like and thr limit of how popular a game can be.

Re4 is pretty much solely a gameplay driven action game. Name me a stronger non story focused action game not within nintendo library.

Not in that case. New Vegas was rated low at the time because it was a buggy piece of s***. And it's no way near as good as infinite anyway.

I just checked the results. This is what I have to say:
1st match=Witcher 3 doing as expected. Nice.
2nd match=This match is closer than I thought. I guess MGS 2 is the most hated of the series.
3rd match=FNV is doing okay I believe. Fallout 4 hype is helping it.
4th match=Resident Evil 4 is doing lower than I expected. I guess against a Mario RPG game is doing good.

Console faqs?

59% is damn impressive against Paper Mario I don't know why so many people are disappointed.

Nah, RE4 and MGS2 look fine here. RE1 managed 45% against SOTN, the same SOTN that put up a monstrous performance a week ago.

Paper Mario scored 42% against MGS3 in a day match, it does have legit strength imo.

Fallout 3 and Skyrim are also both buggy as all hell and received vastly better scores, even though NV is so much better than both.
New Vegas is garbage and your taste is bad, You must accept this.

I would really like to see how well Resident Evil would be doing with Remake in the title and boxart. Its such a huge improvement over Resident Evil 1 that I cant help but feel it would be performing a lot better. It was also exclusive to a Nintendo console for a long time which would probably help even more.
I see people thought 59% is good for RE4.

Wait until it hits 60!

Does this signal anything for the MGS being weaker as a whole?

I know 2, 4, and 5 are hated but I don't think it bodes well if they all underperformed in their matches.

Honestly that sounds right. Most of the time I hear people say MGS2 is the weakest MGS but still great. That's my opinion on the game too.

I hear people say MGS2 is the best MGS game more often than people say they hate it. And even though I attacked MGS2 fans for being pretentious in a previous stats topic, I at least understand where they're coming from and even personally appreciate the complexity of MGS2's plot. But that game is still a massive prank and I felt like I was on drugs while playing it.

Still, failing to break 60 on Resident Evil when RE4 is the only game from that series that has strength is not impressive.

MGS2 is doing fine, RE is slightly weaker than SotN, add in the fact FFX got 63% on it in 2009 and this is around the performance you would expect.

Well RE2 broke 40% on Mario RPG back in '09 and just broke 40% on FFT.
