Phoenix
Wright is a pretty bad Persona comparison. Persona 4's sold more in the
U.S. and GameFAQs naturally loves JRPGs more than most genres anyway. I
always figured Phoenix himself was far stronger than his game which
seems true. --- Demyx is better than Axel. |

No,
GTA4's sales are VERY good, reviews are (too) good, and I don't know
what fanbase you're talking about that hates it. I addressed this
already. GTAIV was popular for a month then was largely ignored. It was smashed by Fallout 3 in the GotY poll. Even in the GTA fanbase it is often regarded as lower than SA, 3 and VC, not hated, but not popular. Also reviews more or less means nothing on GameFAQs. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/BGE2%20BOP.xls BGE2 - Today's Match: LoZ: TP > HL2 Points: 77/108 |

I'd
be surprised to see Persona 4 advance, but I don't think Symphonia has
too many advantages on it and it's going against games that should be
in the same general area. While Phoenix was always desperately out of
his league here, I don't think the same can be said for Persona 4. --- Mustache...and Green... http://backloggery.com/rpguy96 |

Talking
about L4D, I really enjoyed goofing around with it a few weeks
ago...but is it worth a full purchase if I get it on PC? I didn't get
the feeling that the game goes much more in-depth after the first two
or three levels (though that could be easily wrong). Is the replay
value strong with it? I also enjoyed Portal by Valve too...though
they're very different games! --- Prototype Shorthand, do you speak it?! |

From: MegatokyoEd | #256 Actually, PW: Ace Attorney sold 120k more than P4 in the US and 60k more in Japan. There's no sales figures for anywhere else so i can only assume it wasn't released in Europe, yet PW still beat P4's total sales by 160k. --- Flash runs alongside Balefire watching marshmallows stop existing. - WarThaNemesis2 |

Fanboy?
I've never played Persona 4. And I don't think it'll advance. But GTA
hasn't been doing well and GTAIV could well be the weakest GTA in the
bracket. SFII did rather poorly and SFIV will probably be a lot weaker
than that. And random RPGs that we didn't think were going to be worth
much - Symphonia, Oblivion, KotOR - have been beating much more
mainstream titles. There's an argument to be made. --- Mustache...and Green... http://backloggery.com/rpguy96 |
XxSoulxX | Posted 5/4/2009 5:37:04 PM | message detail |
...Says the person talking up Left 4 Dead. L4D is, you know, actually known. It did sell more then a million copies, and you can actually go around and ask gamers what their opinion on it is. Try doing that for Persona and 99/100 times you'd get a "what the hell is that?". Despite that point, L4D's opponents are much more weaker then whoever Persona is facing. Fallout 3 will most likely place, and then the only other opponent to worry about is Halo 3. Halo hasn't performed well this contest, so there is a chance for L4D. I'm not saying it's one I would take, but I want to know if anyone else would think this is possible. --- Good Times, Great Memories |

L4D is mostly repetition. Very fun repetition, but if you get bored of that quickly you probably shouldn't get it. --- http://thengamer.com/guru/ |

And random RPGs that we didn't think were going to be worth much - Symphonia, Oblivion, KotOR - You people think Fallout 3 will perform will, yet doubt Oblivion's strength? Oblivion was going to be strong, just people thought GTA would be stronger. Same case with KotOR, just we didn't really think it would be as strong as it was. ToS is the only case so far of a cult game performing well here. With that said, ToS is more popular here and worldwide then Persona 4, so I have no idea why people think P4 has a chance here. --- ertyu is actually a language.

4 is a dating sim, and how many Gamefaq users actually have
girlfriends? Its their best way to simulate it, so it should be a big
hit on Gamefaqs. SimCity gives you a chance to play God. Every GameFAQs user is egotistical and arrogant so a game where they can do whatever they want would be a big hit on this site. It lost to Monkey Island. --- Good Times, Great Memories |

Speaking
of which, weren't we all in agreement pre-contest that Persona 4 would
be the weakest entity in the bracket? Just because a completely

Man,
I don't care at all whether Persona advances or not but these Persona
nuts have gotten annoying by this point. That doesn't happen in the
stats topic all that often (not counting Albion anyway). I think Persona has some chance just because GTA4 or SF4 or both could bomb horribly, but any stats vet want to 1 week sig bet me on Persona finishing 4th here? I'll bet that it finishes 4th. Riskier bet for me than saying it doesn't place but I want to be fair. And random RPGs that we didn't think were going to be worth much - Symphonia, Oblivion, KotOR - have been beating much more mainstream titles. Oblivion and KOTOR are sure as hell not random RPGs. Both were big-time hits. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
