From: ZFS | #449 well yeah, but I don't think its enough to really set the world on fire or anything like some Bayonetta fans are saying. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/albion+hero.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/weegee.png |

I
don't think anyone has said she's going to be a top tier character. The
strongest new character, probably; stronger than Altair wouldn't be
surprising in the least. Stronger than Kratos or Dante, though? Nah -
but no one reasonable would expect that. --- the journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step |

you
know, no one is saying Bayonetta is going to challenge Leon Kennedy or
Sora, but she's bound to be far stronger than kerrigan level or any
Modern Warfare character will ever be. --- Shakes Fist! |

If
Lightning is eligible, she'd beat her. I'm interested if she is though,
cuz by the time noms are open, FFXIII may be out in Japan --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/albion+hero.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/weegee.png |

uh, just about everyone acknowledges Snow and Lightning will be likely to be the strongest FF characters since X. --- Shakes Fist! |

There'd be something wrong if they werent stronger then Vaan and Balthier. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/albion+hero.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/weegee.png |

did you miss the hype Balthier got when he was in the field? everyone disliked vaan sure, but Balthier was expected to the auron of the series, at least rikku level, so him flopping was an actual surprise. --- Shakes Fist! |

?
the hell you on about? your repeating me now? just said he was expected
to do better than he did and he didn't now your just stating the
obvious? w/e blahblahblah. --- Shakes Fist! |
Cyclo_Reaper | Posted 11/7/2009 5:48:15 PM | message detail |
You
said they will be the strongest FF characters since FFX, I agreed, and
then you argued with me that Balthier was hyped to be stronger or
something, which makes no sense for the point of conversation since
hype doesnt mean he was strong. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/albion+hero.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/weegee.png |

I
don't think we'll ever see another FF game that will give us strong
characters. FF13's characters should do much better than FF12's, but
I'm not ready to pick Lightning over Tidus. It is true that Bayonetta pretty much has to rely on her character design for strength. Unfortunately, all I hear concerning her are comparisons to Sarah Palin and "she's hot." You know who else is designed to be hot? Lara Croft. Strongest new character? Maybe, if only because the field is so damn miserable. There's what, Maxwell, MW2 fodder, and uh... I can't even think of anything else. Just saying that the field is so nonexistent that Bayonetta could be uber-fodder and still be the strongest new character. That's not something worth bragging about when we've had few notable characters. Oh yeah, the chick from RE5. She'd be weak, but I'll still pick her. I don't even remember her name, but she could probably double Sarah Palin. --- http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2uf7sro&s=4 |

Flop
or not, Bayonetta would be a great character to rally in. As others
have said, the only character she'd have to beat to be the strongest of
this generation (before FFXIII hits) is Altair, and he's probably a lot
weaker now than he was 12 months ago if we take the Marcus Phoenix
effect to mean anything. Bayonetta will never get the sales of
Assassin's Creed, but good word of mouth and a devoted fanbase can put
her above Altair. As HM said, though, no one is really expecting her to be the next Dante or Kratos. That's overreaching bigtime. --- Yoblazer: http://i33.tinypic.com/ml36gl_th.gif Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Ah,
Scribblenauts...well Phoenix is the only other handheld-only character
I can think of right now, and he doesn't do that well despite having
three games. Maxwell should bomb unless he has a special reason to be
better-liked than Phoenix. --- Nominate Punch-Out's DOC LOUIS: T E A M C H O C O L A T E www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=51988233 |
L33t_Rappa_Sam | Posted 11/8/2009 7:19:34 AM | message detail |
Maxwell would probably be uber-fodder. I'd still pick Altair over Bayonetta. His character design should be enough to let him keep some strength, assuming people care enough to nominate him in. If we go back to 64 characters, neither will probably make it. I'd seriously want to see Vault Boy in this. Fallout 3's the third-strongest game here from this gen, and the top two don't really have any new characters worth nominating. I think he could surprise a few people strength-wise, and might even be above the fodder line. --- http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2uf7sro&s=4 |

Vault Boy is a character that we HAVE to get in, no question. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/albion+hero.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/weegee.png |

How
recognizable is the name? For example if I went to a random person that
has played Fallout 3 and talk about Vault Boy would they know what I
mean or do I have to show them a picture? --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/BGE2%20BOP.xls Congratulations to Krahenprophet for winning the guru contest |

charmander6000 | Posted 11/8/2009 10:20:09 AM | message detail |
Yeah
I just did a quick search of him I can see him being our strongest
character excluding those that come from series that already have
representation from the past. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/BGE2%20BOP.xls Congratulations to Krahenprophet for winning the guru contest |

Fallout 3's the third-strongest game here from this gen, SSBB, MGS4, LoZ:TP. Fourth strongest, just to be technical about it. --- Nominate Punch-Out's DOC LOUIS: T E A M C H O C O L A T E www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=51988233 |

I
don't count TP as this generation, since it was made for GC and
released for it. It would be like counting RE4 as a current gen game
cuz it was released on GC then Wii --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/albion+hero.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/weegee.png |

From: charmander6000 | #479 I thought it was same day. -shrugs- Regardless, it was a last gen game released on both systems. You could have same experience if you dont have a next gen system, which makes it not a next gen game to me. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/albion+hero.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/weegee.png |

That's like calling all of the Madden games last gen because it was released on the PS2. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/BGE2%20BOP.xls Congratulations to Krahenprophet for winning the guru contest |

From: charmander6000 | #481 Note I said "Same experience" The Madden games are made by a different development team for PS2 and watered down respectively. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/albion+hero.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/weegee.png |

Considering
both versions came out once the Wii came out, the Wii-version sold more
than the GC-version, and the Wii-version was a driving reason to buy a
Wii...I think that's just being picky to help make FO3 sound more
impressive. For all intents and purposes, LoZ:TP is a next-generation
game. --- Nominate Punch-Out's DOC LOUIS: T E A M C H O C O L A T E www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=51988233 |

Heres
another example. Budokai tenkaichi 3 released same day on both PS2 and
Wii as the exact same game. would you call that a next gen game? --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/albion+hero.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/weegee.png |

First of all, what the heck is BT3? Second, is it better known for its PS2 or Wii version? And did it use the Wii motion-controls at all or simply make a straight port? If it's better known as a Wii-game and tried to embrace something big introduced this generation, then why not? --- Nominate Punch-Out's DOC LOUIS: T E A M C H O C O L A T E www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=51988233 |

From: voltch | #488 Its just first game that came to midn that released around same time on both systems, and nobody would call that a next gen game --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/albion+hero.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/weegee.png |
HaRRicH | Posted 11/8/2009 11:12:26 AM | message detail |
Its a game that uses the Gamecube specs, and is gettable if you dont have a next gen system. Thus, not a next gen game. The Wii-version also has Wii-controls that can't be replicated by any other system right now, too, so don't discount it just because of the graphics. It may have started off in production as a Gamecube-game, but it uses next-gen technology in its more popular version and people definitely associate it with the Wii more than the Gamecube. It's not even a port that came later to embrace the controls like RE4 (or BT3) did -- they were simultaneous, Nintendo waited on releasing both versions until the Wii was released, and the Wii-version won out. It and Wii Sports carried the Wii for its first year. Why insist it's a game from last generation in that regard? --- Nominate Punch-Out's DOC LOUIS: T E A M C H O C O L A T E www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=51988233 |

Agreed to disagree. Anyway, back to the original point, FO3 is a strong game from this generation, but I get that Vault Boy is just an avatar for the game. Why should it do any better than, say, Axel Steel aside from FO3 > GH? --- Nominate Punch-Out's DOC LOUIS: T E A M C H O C O L A T E www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=51988233 |

From: HaRRicH | #493 Vault Boy's much more iconic of Fallout 3 and the Fallout series in general than generic avatar Axel Steel, Vault Boy is much more recognizable than Axel Steel by the GameFAQs audience, Vault Boy is completely plastered all over Fallout 3, even in the menus, compared to Axel Steel who even GH vets probably don't really remember about, and even just general character design appeal and a gimmicky appeal that might get a stray joke vote or two. Vault Boy has a lot of potential. --- http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2uf7sro&s=4 |
