actually, the last 15 minutes has been MGS3 with 52%

maybe ME2 does have a good shot

I suppose it's possible EB is worth something? It got SFFed to hell in 2009 and the only read we have before that is the lol 2004 stats. But if MGS goes on to look decent I'm not buying it having increased that much - I'd rather partially attribute a hardcore EB/Mother 3 fanbase or pic factor or Weekend After Thanksgiving Factor than that kind of ridiculous strength.


Well, of all the old games between 2009/10 and now, EarthBound got released in the US and EU for the first time since it came out. And then Nintendo released the original game on the NES for the first time, made a big deal of it at E3, and generally has acknowledged and pushed the game since. On top of that, you have a way smaller voting pool of older, mid-20s types, and old school games thriving so all that mixed together seems like a good recipe for success.

I legitimately don't think MGS3 would be doing any better here than ME2 is

If Starcraft is back to 2004 levels than it's pretty damn strong

Yes undertale beat popular games but lets be real. Western games arent all that. I mean if me2 or skyrim are the strongest western games then undertale will need to step it up for the elite japanese games.

Undertale beat two popular games when its picture was of a black-and-white winking flower. Pics really don't matter for games. Especially in a match like that.


I feel like you're taking this too seriously but really Mario World gonna lay it down. Fallout and Mass Effect are joke games next to Mario World. New games got nothing

Sorry dude but brawl beating ffx would have been the most horrible result in contest history. Id take undertale winning and draven winning over that piece of s*** winning GOTD.

Imagine winning GOTD and then failing to be in the best games ever contest. It would be a new low for this site.

And lets not act like ffx would beat brawl. Only way it would get taken down is a strong zelda

I mentioned this last week but destiny has nothing going for it.

It didnt win goty like your borderlands or have great showings on polls like red dead. It doesnt have core fanbases like xenoblade. It doesnt have critical respect either like a bioshock or sotc.

It just has a high playrate and is a diablo/halo style shooter. An average one.

It was bound to be complete and utter turd.

MGS3 has fallen below MGS1's percentage.

Man, it didn't take long for MGS3 to go from "kind of impressive" to "kind of bad"

Keep in mind that KH2 got 56.27% on BioShock and MGS3 is only 1% above that

how can people unironically prefer it to MGS

MGS3 is an amazing game. I loved going all rambo with the camo and eating system, and it was the only MGS I've played (I admittedly only played three) that got me really emotional. I think a lot of people simply remember 3's ending and get all nostalgic.

Yeah, the iconic and enduring image of the entire MGS series is Big Boss's salute at the end of MGS3. It excels at its emotional appeal, and that's why it's so fondly remembered. It decided to go from trying to blow your mind at the end of MGS2 to trying to touch your heart at the end of MGS3, and for most people, that was a good move.
