good job MGS1 it only took you 30 minutes to get the lead over 200


It continues to pull off its successful mission to overrate every game in Div 7/8 before Magusing all over OoT's face

So would anyone pick anything but Skyrim as the strongest western game at this point?

35%? Yeah, FFIX > MGS sounds about right.

There we go MGS

As for SSB4, like I said previously, IMO it probably attracts a lot of "casual" votes from people who haven't played either game but like the SSB series.

35% without FFIX's totally legit and accepted ginormous pic advantage seems just about right for MGS to crush it into dust

Nearly 66% update for MGS3, huh

Have you seen the pics? MGS having a crappy pic is part of its natural strength. It'll get a good pic and people will think it's Revengence or something and lose to Mother 3.

Man MGS3 is just laying a beating. By this point Bioshock was already having decent updates. Kinda unbelievable. That one is definitely over barring a big rally.

If the picture advantage in that OOT/FFIX match is as big as the difference between FFX and FFIX, 35% on OOT would mean MGS is about equal to FFX.

If that was true, it would have underperformed against FF7 since FF7 has a very high playrate on this site. This makes Mass Effect 1 look even better and we are already trying to understand why ME2 looks weaker.

No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585.
Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest!
Lets be honest. Anyone who has played MGS3 is going to vote for it with that pic. Even if they would normally favor ME2
Another 66% update for MGS3?

I mean I know you're joking but just as a random discussion... I would say there is more overlap between ME2 and MGS3 fans than Bioshock and MGS3 fans at least.

MGS3 and ME2 both have great characters and narrative driving the game. That's what fans come for in both series.

Guess i was wrong about the MGS deboost. Bioshock is probably a upper-midcarder at this point.

RE4's vindicated as well, 54% on MGS2 looked atrocious at first glance but it's obvious that the first 3 MGS games are reasonably strong.

I know this is the first time I've voted against ME2 this contest

yes that's right I contributed to the MGS3/ME2 SFF

http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif
I voted for ME2

rSFF confirmed, MGS3 should be at 70%
---
Goddamn Ocarina of Time
here's a thought exercise. let's say that FF7 gets 60% on MGS3 - seems a little low to me, but whatever. then let's say that MGS3 wins this with 60%. that's about as much credit as we can really give ME2 and MGS3.

that calculates out to a 68% win for FF7. FF7 beats ME1 with 68.7%. that's nuts.

Over half of us wouldn't take it over Borderlands 2, much less Mass Effect 2.

Future 2015 Guru Contest winner.
This match is probably a result of

1. Bioshock being stronger than we thought
2. ME2 being weaker than we though, probably due to ME3's ending
3. Pic factor???

The thing that's really tough to reconcile here is ME2 being close to Silent Hill 2. That's just nonsense.

Looks like the demise of Metal Gear may have been overstated.

-MGS2 held up quite well against RE4. It's other two matches didn't seem great at the time but RE1 didn't look bad in 2009 and there was clearly a lot of rallying for Witcher 3 (which has unknown strength anyways).
-Earthbound having clearly boosted through the roof (and seeing something as marginal but acclaimed as Suikoden II performing well) redeems MGS3's performance on Mother 3.
-MGS3 is crushing here and BioShock Ultimate looking pretty decent after all sort of redeems the MGS3/BioShock match, once you take rallying into account.
-MGS4 and 5 still suck. Sort of, MGS4 sucks slightly less after seeing how well KHII did.

The real question for me is Silent Hill 2. It seems like it's boosted a ton. I can only guess that the cancellation of Silent Hills and all the related Konami crap greatly increased sympathy for Silent Hill.

[NO BARKLEY NO PEACE]
If Pokemon manages to beat Undertale, I'll probably have all the remaining matches correct. Shame I've been eliminated from the Guru for thinking GTAV > SMRPG. At least some vindication in the X-stats.

Bioshock is an incredible experience so I'm really happy that it has some sort of strength. Its definitely a game that stays with you, its completely unique.
The most screwed up part of the current results is that Mother 3 would currently be projected to get about 41% against Mass Effect 2.

MOTHER ******* 3 - the game that was NEVER EVEN RELEASED OUTSIDE OF JAPAN!!!

Pretty much, ignore Silent Hill 2 and I think most people here would have been comfortable with MGS3 > ME2.

There's also the possibility that SSB4 boosted because of the Cloud reveal and this somehow actually helped it against FF7 itself. Maybe Mass Effect 1 fell quite a bit since GotD (and SMG2 looks even worse).

if anything, it's a reason to doubt FF7 this year. I've been droning on about how FF7's performance was no better than FF6's and stuff like this is why. of course we just got that trailer today so it may not matter.

I mean, if any series has a reason to be tied at the hip, it'd be Mass Effect.

I really doubt that's the case though.

what does base Undertale (before the rallies got started) project to for Fallout 3/Mass Effect 3? like 59/41?

'cause MGS3's about to 59/41 Mass Effect 2.
