How many people going to googlefight have actually heard of the Gothic series though?

Actually the results come directly from Google, so the popularity of googlefight.com isn't relevant.
But it's still not a very scientific result. I mean, some of the results are obviously flawed.

^It's the number of times the items appear on the 'net (according to Google's searches), so it doesn't matter whether people go to Google or WoG -- Google has counted more references to Oblivion than G3.
It shouldn't surprise anyone, however.
Bethesda has regular updates on their site, including weekly screenshot releases, several magazine articles including a huge cover special and several interviews with major sites like GameSpy.
On the other hand, Piranha Bytes has only done some interviews with fan sites, there isn't anything on PB's site (I can't see it, anyway) and the only "official screenshot" JoWood sent out with the announcement was one piece of (old) concept art.

I'd say that fight is flawed or should I say fixed,  not the result. With correct spelling Monroe wins.

Now now, can't go comparing an entire series to a single game. Perhaps you meant this?

Searching on Gothic 3 on Google gives you LOTS of hits totally irrelevant. It's pages with gothic somewhere on the page and 3 somewhere else. So most of the hts you get are either about G1 and 2 or gothic music, and there happened to be a 3 as well. So "Gothic 3" IS better if you want to get relevant results.

This whole idea is pointless, you know. It doesn't even represent how popular a game actually is. |
