Also over the last 30 minutes Mass Effect 2 has gone from 51.79% to 52.25% in the US as Arizona, Minnesota, Arkansas and Rhode Island have flipped. Also New Hampshire has flipped to Starcraft, but it reads 50%

Looking like ME2 is likely going to win. I was a bit scared when I woke up and saw Starcraft up, but it can't compete with the Mass Effect day vote

either this is a serious counterrally when everything related to Galaxy 2 failed or I was right about it just being Starcraft's killer night vote and the rally was minimal.

Cranky's Advice - "git gud"
Oh yea, I guess raytan won.
There are two counter-rally topics on the ME reddit, though they seem pretty recent (posted an hour ago?). Considering both these games are western, I'm guessing that neither rally are helping MGS3 against Bioshock, but both are probably helping MGS against an obscure jRPG like Earthbound.

man, MGS3/ME2 is going to feel so gross if ME2 advances. at least Starcraft feels like it's rising up and not disappointing, you know? that's going to be such a tough one to call.

Red Dead Redemption is such a great game, I'm genuinely surprised it's being beat. SOTC is a very good game, and the story and setting is second to none, but RDR has it beat it terms of pure atmosphere.

Oh, for a new 'proper' Shining Force..and a new Panel de Pon game and a new english release of Puyo Puyo....
Voted MGS3 but happy to see BioShock doing as well as it is.

Might be one of the stronger 7th Generation games.

I haven't followed votals at all, but my guess is that today's matches would naturally under-draw because there isn't a strong Nintendo/Square game to anchor them, but the rallies are making up for that.
---
http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif
MGS3 is doing so bad I'm thinking it would lose easily to either SC/ME2.
I compared to last weekend and votals appear to be lower for this time period of the day. Likely due to no Nintendo/Square anchors as you said.

"This is all we have... when we die.."
Either BioShock is more legit than I expected or MGS3 isn't as strong as I previously thought.
Yeah for the record this is an awful result for MGS3 by any metric. Still getting worse, too

Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
someone should do a BioShock rally just to see what would happen.

And I have MGS3 going to the quarterfinals.

Possibly, the games in the first two matches drew around average in round 1, but the other games in the other two matches were the worst of the contest.

Only 21 active users though.

Bioshock is in a perfect position to benefit from two western games being rallied against each other. MGS3 still has a lot to prove next round, but it'll probably arrive stronger than it is now.
---
http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif
I think MGS3 will be stronger next round especially if people are trying to rally MGS at the same time (against SOTC) but boy it's easily laying up the turd of the round.

I'm not sure which game I prefer, both are in my top 20. I'm happy to see Bioshock competitive with a legit game on this site though!

I was so certain that Smash U would be my turd of the round pick, but Divisions VII and VIII offer it some serious competition.

Metal Gear Solid 3 is my #1 turd now, though ME2 and RE4 are contenders.

1. Why did you expect Smash U to have strength? ME is legit, beat a mainline Mario game, and Smash U is coasting on name recognition and doesn't have enough playrate.
2. Starcraft is legit imo. It went toe to toe with SSBM once, though I know it was 10 years ago and there was a bit of cheating, I would expect SSBM to crush ME2.
3. Fallout NV is pretty legit imo, I see a LOT of people who prefer it to Fallout 3, but yeah RE4 shoulda done better for sure.

Really depends what site.... I think during Infinite hype it might have. I don't think it would now especially during MGSV hype.

In the village of the blind...

Seriously, I can't get over how much the entire series has slipped. We are here practically celebrating the fact that MGS - once thought to be a Top 10 game on this site - has hit 60% on Earthbound. LITERALLY MOTHER.

Shockingly enough, the only other highly represented series that has done anywhere near as bad has been the Mario platformers, but at least that has SMW and 64 still beasting (and Mario 3 can blame unforeseen rallies for much of its woes).

I feel like the rallies are hurting MGS3 more than helping. Most ME fans I know also like Bioshock. Starcraft (PC Gamers) tend to like Bioshock as well.

OOT put up 75% on Suikoden II. I think blowouts in general are not going to happen too often unless a game is incredibly weak like Hearthstone, or if there is a lot of SFF involved.

Oh my God, we're actually having a match in Round 2 that isn't purely rally fueled. Praise the contest Gods!
---
Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses
I haven't had much faith in the strength of non-MGS1 games and we haven't seen Earthbound since 2004. If MGS struggles against SotC that's obviously another story, but I'm not willing to indict it on the basis of its younger brothers who have never had much reason to have a lot of faith in.

Though slippage for MGS as a whole makes sense measuring from Bioshock, unless there was a reason for Bioshock to be underrated in GOTD or the series to have improved as a whole since then.
