Speaking of which, I think it's time that we smoothly segue from this
and start hyping up a Games Contest. We should be getting 64 spots, and
unless we're shackled by eras again (>_>), we won't and shouldn't
be seeing many oldies outside of Mario 3 (maybe original Mario Bros?),
Zelda, and Tetris. That frees up a lot of space for newer games,
especially ones that have been released since the first Games Contest.
Let's see... Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Halo 2 Half-Life 2 Metal Gear Solid 3 World of Warcraft Resident Evil 4 God of War Guitar Hero Kingdom Hearts II Final Fantasy XII Gears of War The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Bioshock Halo 3 Mario Galaxy (?) Super Smash Bros. Brawl (?) That's quite a list of worthy contenders, and it'll probably need to be trimmed a bit. Regardless, trying to predict a makeshift mini bracket with just those 16 would probably be hell. |

We shouldn't have games done by era again, or be limited that severely
in terms of how many games per series we can get in, but there
definitely has to be a cap of some kind. Otherwise, we're going to end
up with something like this.

The problem with limiting games from the same series is the same as
limiting characters from the same series - you end up with less popular
games/characters in their place, making the contest less interesting
and less "legitimate". If all those Final Fantasy, Zelda, and Mario games can muster enough nominations to make it in, they should be allowed, IMO. --- Official Queen ***** of the Universe! "I just happen to think you are an idiot. Why must it be so personal?" - Sir Chris |

A cap will only affect those three series (perhaps just Final Fantasy
and Zelda). I wouldn't really have a problem one way or the other with
a cap of five. Any more, and there's pretty much no need to have a cap;
any less, and, well, I'm sure there a ton of people who don't want to
be limited to three or four games from this site's two biggest series. Of course, the problem with a five game cap, like HM pointed out, is that we could be seeing several representatives from series which really don't deserve them. While I don't think Smash Bros. will be the culprit here (we all know Brawl will make it, Melee deserves to make it, and I'd be shocked if the original got enough noms), but I'll be damned if the bracket has more than one Phoenix Wright game. --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see...

and less "legitimate". There are a hell of a lot more popular games than there are characters. We definitely wouldn't be scraping for games that would break the fodder line like we do for characters. And there are so many popular games out there that it's impossible to fit them all into one contest.

There are a hell of a lot more popular games than there are
characters. We definitely wouldn't be scraping for games that would
break the fodder line like we do for characters. Good point. But the fifth most popular LoZ game (Wind Waker maybe?) could beat a hell of a lot of other games, even non-fodder, and why shouldn't it? I don't see the point of bias against popular games that happen to be from a popular series. If a game is good enough to get enough nominations, it should be allowed in. Handicaps are for the weak. >:) I don't really think it will be a problem anyway, as long as we aren't limited by era. You'll see maybe 3 FF games make the cut (7, 8, 10), 3-4 Mario games (SMB, SMB3, SM64, SMG), and a handful of Zelda. That still leaves dozens of places for everyone else. --- Official Queen ***** of the Universe! "I just happen to think you are an idiot. Why must it be so personal?" - Sir Chris |

128 games doesn't really fix the problem, it just allows more Nintendo
domination for an extra round. check out this final eight: FF7 Mario 3 OOT CT LTTP SSBM Zelda: TP SSBB see the problem? scale it back one round and it's even worse, just add the Square titles in. the best you can do is set up tons of Square/Nintendo matches and hope it balances itself out. I'd honestly have no problem with a cap of 2 per series. it'd snub a few strong entrants, no doubt, but I think it might be better in the spirit of balance. --- "The idea of rallying for Solid Snake against a Tetris block is both disgusting and necessary. *goes*" -Karma Hunter |

Yeah, and I think we've all had our fill of uniquely structured
contests for a while. A 128-entrant bracket would either result in two
matches a day or a first round
that lasts a day longer than the entire contest we just had. I don't
think either of those are very favorable options. One bracket, 64
games, traditional format, no era restrictions, yadda yadda yadda. --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... Explicit Content pwn me... in the Guru Contest! |

yep, what yoblazer said.

It could very well result in more Nintendomination, but it would still allow in games from other companies that would otherwise be overlooked. If they lose, well, they deserve to - but they also deserve to be given a shot. 128 slots would give them a much better chance. I don't want another 4-way poll next time, though. And a 1-on-1 contest with 128 entrants would take months. Two polls running at once, maybe? Seems okay to me.... |

You can send the ticket using the feedback form located here. http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/feedback/ You'd want that as the top option under Contests. Regarding Games, I still say that so many exciting new titles in the last four years, plus so many were snubbed due to the format, that we could easily create a 128 bracket with very little fodder. Here was the 128 solution I came up with earlier this year, and which I still like. From: Haste_2 | Posted: 3/22/2007 10:57:37 PM | Message Detail I say we should have a 128-game bracket... and have two matches per day for Round 1, and maybe Round 2, as well. Whenever you entered the site or refreshed it would randomly pick one of the matches. The casual visitors would randomly vote in one of the matches and move on, while the more diligent contest participants would refresh until they voted in both matches. --- From: Ngamer64 | Posted: 3/22/2007 11:56:06 PM | Message Detail That's an okay enough idea, Haste, but I'd hate to see good first/second round matches earning only 60k votes. I think what we should do instead is to have two Polls, one right on top of the other. HOWEVER, every time you visit the page one would randomly be picked as the top poll, and might switch on a refresh. That way both polls ought to be noticed, and in equal numbers. (I can already hear complaints of "StarCraft only didn't finish that comeback because b.neters coming to the site only noticed the Devil May Cry/Perfect Dark match on top!") Also, the vote results page ought to read "Vote accepted. Now vote in StarCraft vs Kingdom Hearts 2." --- From: HaRRicH | Posted: 3/23/2007 12:12:29 AM | Message Detail The one thing that I would see happen with Haste's idea is that the contest-faithfuls will have a bit more of a say-so in the match-ups.

the basis of it not being stale in any way, shape or form. let us run

Well I think the most important thing is that we all agree that 128,
64, OR 128 two-a-days would be fantastic, just so long as we get a
traditional-format Games Contest. But in defense of 2-a-days, I just can't see voter interest being maintained for a four month Contest. After a little over a month of polls I always notice a little bit of a lull in stats and on the board, but in the past we've always been able to get over that quickly because hey, about to move into a new round, and wow, look at these cool R2 matchups, and just think, only 16 days from now we'll be seeing some really heavy-hitting polls! I think it would be deadly to let that lull set in and then have people realize wait a minute, we've still got a whole half of this "boring" first round to go! Well, not deadly, but I do see excitement dying off for a while, no matter how close or unexpected the results coming in are. 2-a-days would be great in terms of getting a ton of different series and games represented, and yet being able to burn through that first round while still under that initial wave of excitement. Plus, it would be easy to cut back to the normal 1 poll once we reached the Sweet 16 and every match was noteworthy from there out. --- PARENTAL ADVISORY - This signature contains Explicit Content. ...because he just owned me in the Guru! |

I like what tran came up with in regards to the 64 games. I think it
may be missing a couple (FFT, notably, but I guess that's where the cap
comes in -- argh), but that looks pretty solid. One of the reasons, I think, a cap should be implemented is primarily to limit the representation that Nintendo gets. I'm not saying that out of hate, or bias or whatever, but if you start pushing half of the bracket being games from Nintendo, making a good one seems like it's going to be difficult, what with the SFF all over the place. Square is limited more to Final Fantasy than anything, and while they too would have plenty in there, I don't think it'd be as widespread as Nintendo -- although those two are going to have to the top games no matter what kind of cap you implement, so that isn't a problem. Diversity is the key here. Like mnm mentioned, we wouldn't be hurting for strong non-Nintendo, non-Final Fantasy entries. They may not be as strong, but it's worth it to have more of them to create more interesting matches than having to work around all of the SFF that would be in play without a cap. Just what I think, anyway. --- "With each passing day, the world finds new and exciting ways to kill a man." |

Whoa whoa! I completely agree, Games will be so great that no "twist"
or "gimmick" is required at all. If you're looking at 2-a-days as a
kind of twist, then I can see why you're so set against it. Personally
though I'm just looking at it as one possible way to get all of these
cool, traditional, non-gimmick results through in a reasonable
timeframe. But like I said earlier, 64 is clearly the easier approach
to reach the same solution, so if that's the decision in the end I'll
of course happily support it. From what HM is saying, yes I see the point, but the great thing about Games is, even with all that Nintendo SFF lurking, I think a whole lots of the matches would STILL be very interesting and debatable beforehand. Like say... Zelda 1 v Wind Waker Zelda 1 v Twilight Princess Mario 3 v Super Mario World Majora's Mask v Wind Waker Super Metroid v Metroid Prime Melee v Link to the Past Now in the end the Nintendo fanbase is going to lean one way more than the other and the winner will take it going away, but even so, you could make a good case for taking either choice beforehand in any of those polls, IMO. --- PARENTAL ADVISORY - This signature contains Explicit Content. ...because he just owned me in the Guru! |

am I wrong in thinking that anyone that's played Portal would vote for
the WCC? yet, it's got less than 20%. no way is it close to Half-Life,
and while that's no crime, it really doesn't warrant a spot when
talking about the 64 strongest games of all time. that said, it may very well make the field. a lot of fodder surely will. those are just my 64 choices for games that deserve to be there. I have no problem with cutting a MGS or a GTA game for Portal. --- "The idea of rallying for Solid Snake against a Tetris block is both disgusting and necessary. *goes*" -Karma Hunter |
