Half-Life 2's abysmal victory over Mother 3 is made to look all the worse given that Half-Life 2 had no problems with Earthbound.
Not to repeat this, but Half-Life 2 seems to be an entirely different animal all together when facing games flirting with .500 than it is when facing games that actually have a better record (and it has only faced two such games this contest - FE7 and SA2). I almost feel that we could speak of Civilization IV being in the same conversation.
I'm almost tempted to say that Half-Life 2's best match this contest was that loss to SMRPG, which looks all the better after how SMRPG crapped all over P4 last week.
Also we now not only have a top 10 with no Zelda games, but a top 27 with no 3D Zelda games. Glorious (and I don't know how sarcastic I mean to be in saying this).
Okay wow, what is it with P3 and its inclination to enter OT against fellow PS2 JRPGs???
And man, DMC3 can't beat Mario Sunshine, but it can force OT against Fallout 3. This board is even more Mario-centric and WRPG-hating than I would have ever guessed.
