Board 8 > Two things pertaining to games contests on this site (GTA/MGS)

(+) Yeah! (+)

I know we're all acting like GTA (aside from maybe V) is worthless on this site, but in the last games contest, direct extrapolation has San Andreas doing only a few % better against Mario RPG than the GOTD x-stats have it doing against Final Fantasy X, which seems believable. So San Andreas has basically stayed constant since 2010 in that case. The Round 1 result can probably be explained by Shovel Knight being a popular game, even if it isn't one this site would take to.

Second, does Resident Evil 4 seem to underperform against Metal Gear Solid games? Considering its unexpected near-loss to MGS3 in 2009 and failure to break 55% on MGS2 in 2015.

I think GTA5 is easily the strongest game in that series now.

On Resident Evil 4, I think it did fine in those 2 performances. MGS3 is a beast of a game, and 2 is surprisingly strong too.

Okay I was thinking in terms of RE4 being subject to reverse SFF or something. I mean, I don't mean to bandy about terms like those, it's more that maybe MGS games are a bad match for RE4.
