Yep. It's an action game in the same sort of style as Devil May Cry. --- the journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step |

Well, the majority of GameFAQs buys 5 games or less per year I'd also like to point out that the poll was in March.. heh. --- *is Dranze* Krahen Prophet did a fatality. |

Oh, was it? Well, I doubt the number spikes too much, except for Christmastime games. --- "The great GF...Bahamut." "...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..." |
MyWorldIsCrono | Posted 1/5/2010 12:28:40 AM | message detail |
From: LeonhartFour | #056 One would think if it was only 3 months into the year, then it would at least spike 3-4 times that, so 20 games or so a year And yay, Monster Hunter finally passed LBP.

From: MyWorldIsCrono | #057 People aren't machines, so it's not like they hold to a statistic. Plus, 20+ games a year is insane. People do that? --- "The great GF...Bahamut." "...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..." |
MyWorldIsCrono | Posted 1/5/2010 12:31:20 AM | message detail |
I do, though I'm probably a more hardcore gamer tehn most. Hell, I get 50+ but most of them are used games I've waited a while to get that are down to less then 20. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/Albion+Hero.png http://i45.tinypic.com/2ljlus3.jpg |

How in the world do people play that many games? I mean, I've probably got 100+ games, but this is over the span of 20 years! --- "Stay with me until the end. Please." "Not until the end. Always." |

10-15 hours a game, 56 weeks in a year Playing 10-15 hours a week isnt that much. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/Albion+Hero.png http://i45.tinypic.com/2ljlus3.jpg |

How many is it? I thought it was 56 >_> Regardless, its 50+ so the point stands --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/Albion+Hero.png http://i45.tinypic.com/2ljlus3.jpg |
LeonhartFour | Posted 1/5/2010 12:38:25 AM | message detail |
It's 52. I dunno. I still have tons of games I haven't even beaten yet! I just couldn't imagine keeping pace with 20+ games a year. --- "So cold. I am always by your side." "There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!" |
MyWorldIsCrono | Posted 1/5/2010 12:39:46 AM | message detail |
Most
games I don't beat either. I have a bad case of getting like 10 hours
into a game then getting bored and moving onto the next one unless its
a great game --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/Albion+Hero.png http://i45.tinypic.com/2ljlus3.jpg |

I've played a lot of games this year, borrowing and lending system with your friends is soo efficient. --- Shakes Fist! |
Not_Wylvane | Posted 1/5/2010 6:48:53 AM | message detail |
I buy most of my games on sale or used under $20. I have one hell of a backlog, though. Bayonetta lost to Dante's Inferno in a recent poll, which is also Multiplatform, plus from the demos DI is easily the better game, so even discounting FF13 and potentially ME2 and whatever other big names I'm forgetting, Bayonetta will probably end up with 9% or so if it's lucky. --- Not Wylvane |
charmander6000 | Posted 1/5/2010 7:47:13 AM | message detail |
I bet Dante's Inferno won because it had the name Dante and that was what most people were familar with. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB8%20BOP.xls Submit bracket here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=52670380 |

I've
averaged 1/3 game per year over the past 3 years, and maybe 3 or 4
games a year for the 10 years before that. Never been much of a
gamer.....I just love these contests. --- 6 years later, Crono's quest to defeat Sephiroth -- Round 1: Missingno 'Till shade is gone, 'till water is gone, into the shadow with teeth bared.... |

I bet some people love character, more becuse of what they do in contest, rather than their ingame character development....

only in the stats topic do people say 44% isnt impressive then go onto say that 10% in a poll with less votes isn't bad --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/Albion+Hero.png http://i45.tinypic.com/2ljlus3.jpg |

Or we're just saying that these polls mean virtually nothing for character strength. Because they don't. --- "Spoil it for me. I'm never going to play that game so I want to know if he's going to be another Auron or another Sin." - Soul about Jecht vs. PW |
KamikazePotato | Posted 1/5/2010 10:00:24 AM | message detail |
What this poll means is that LittleBigPlanet doesn't have very strong franchise votes. Considering Sackboy is franchise votes, I would be a little bit worried after today. --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |
charmander6000 | Posted 1/5/2010 10:01:23 AM | message detail |
I think what the stats topic is trying to tell you is don't use the GotY poll when talking about contest strength. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB8%20BOP.xls Submit bracket here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=52670380 |

Lightslayer987 | Posted 1/5/2010 10:03:57 AM | message detail |
Basically
my point is that you'd have 0% attachment to sackboy unless you're a
LBP fan, and if they don't even care enough about it to vote for it in
this poll, then how the hell will it get 50% in a 1v1? --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/Albion+Hero.png http://i45.tinypic.com/2ljlus3.jpg |

guys. GotY polls aren't close to infallible, but are we really

Normally
I would say there is a correlation to the extent that if a game does
really bad, the character has no chance of being above fodder. But then Okami goes and makes practically no impressions in any game polls and churns out a character that's almost a midcarder. So yeah, I don't know what to say anymore --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
LeonhartFour | Posted 1/5/2010 10:15:02 AM | message detail |
You
can find GOTY polls that hold up under examination during contests, but
yet you find a ton that don't. Just take them with a grain of salt. LBP
doing badly in this poll doesn't mean Sackboy is doomed anymore than
Spirit Tracks doing badly in the DS poll means Link is doomed. --- "Hold on a minute! That testimony stinks!" "Witness! You can't just say 'Hello' and expect us to get anywhere! I want you to testify!" |
