Considering Drake only went from bottom feeder to basically high fodder... not all that much of an improvement honestly. --- :> |

oh
so it keeps a huge chunk of LBP's stuff and adds something that has
even more potential, that's a pretty sweet deal i guess, It's like
buying a million games for the price of one. --- Uguu~ |

Considering Drake only went from bottom feeder to basically high fodder... not all that much of an improvement honestly. So if Tanner got into a match with Phoenix Wright and beat him, you wouldn't think that was an incredible improvement? --- http://s10.zetaboards.com/GHEB |

It
certainly wouldn't mean he's particularly strong, no. It's a huge
improvement for him, but it's not like it means much because he's still
losing to most characters in the bracket. Semantics though, so whatever. Huge personal gain, but still just a blip on the radar as far as contest relevance goes. --- Nominate EPONA for Character Battle 9: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=54225515 |

Wouldn't
it be better to compare Sackboy to Shepard than to Drake anyway?
Shepard did triple a character, turbofodder he may have been, and
pulled a solid performance on Pikachu. Hell, Sackboy this contest would
probably beat the tar out of 2008 Shepard, and if LBP2 really gets some
hype and hits the level of Uncharted 2 or Mass Effect 2 on this site,
well, Sackboy could become a serious contender on this site. On the other hand, LBP1 is bigger here than Uncharted 1 or ME1 ever were, so Sackboy probably doesn't have as much room to boost as Drake or Shepard did. Still, it could be enough to make him a midcarder. Wouldn't it be nice to actually have some new midcarders for a change? --- Not Wylvane Dr Football Factor'd. |

From: Not_Wylvane | Posted: 5/11/2010 10:49:04 PM | #059 Shepard definitely scored a massive boost. He's in the low midcarder range now I believe, and if it isn't all HYPEHYPEHYPE he pretty much has a return ticker guaranteed for quite a few years. The problem is that Sackboy won't have the ridiculously amazing hype campaign Shepard had for LBP2 AFAIK, so...he's got his work cut out to reach that level. --- Placeholder anti-capslock sig. |
Not_Wylvane | Posted 5/12/2010 8:02:01 AM | message detail |
I don't know, if Uncharted 2 could get a ton of hype, why not LBP2? Of course, LBP was plenty hyped as is, and then kinda fell off the face of the earth after release, but if Sony could amp up the hype for LBP2, Sackboy could become a legitimate midcarder. --- Not Wylvane Dr Football Factor'd. |

the chance to steal the first vote. I had the only vote in the poll up
until the problem got fixed. And it took slightly over 3 minutes for
the problem to be fixed. --- Luster Soldier - Popular at school. --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ |

HaRRicH | Posted 5/13/2010 7:12:08 PM | message detail |
Really,
arguably the most revolutionary games of the past decade aren't that
big here. WoW, GTA3, Halo, Wii Sports...none of them mean much here.
RE4's probably the most meaningful game this generation that's made
much of an impact here, and surely part of it is because it was
released on three different systems and originally hit hard in a
dead-year. --- Nominate EPONA for Character Battle 9: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=54225515 |

I
genuinely believe MMOs have huge potential beyond simply being
grindfests centred around killing monsters. Puzzle Pirates circa 2004
tapped into some of them: having an economy where the means of
production can be controlled by players (shops making
ships/swords/cloth/etc.) in groups forming flags. But to own shops
required taking over an island, and that allow other groups to launch
attacks on it at the weekend (with 24 hour notice). Large scale
blockade battles with hundreds of jobbers chosing who to go with based
on pay and their opinion of the people in the flag! Combat, crucially,
was based around lots of different puzzles, from a tetris-style
swordfighting game to a chess-style battle navigation board. Players
would learn from each other how to become better at them, and the best
players would be hugely important allies. Add a load of sandbox
elements to this basis (from inn games, to going on pillages, to
becoming the best at a particular puzzle, to running events) and you
have one hell of an online experience. It never quite worked out like
that, but what if it had done... --- Final Fantasy XIII review: http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps3/review/R140434.html You're pretty good, Dr_Football. |

Grindfests
centered around killing monsters? Sounds like Final Fantasy, you'd
think WoW would be popular here if that was the case. --- :> |

was being trite to make a point. Lots of games are centred around

it should very well be possible to create something much more dynamic. --- Final Fantasy XIII review: http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps3/review/R140434.html You're pretty good, Dr_Football. |

GameFAQs actually cared about PC gaming I wouldn't be surprised if WoW
had decent strength in the game contest. It still did alright if you

HaRRicH | Posted 5/13/2010 8:18:06 PM | message detail |
Yeah,
WoW was no embarrassment, nor were the Halo-games or GTA-games. They
VASTLY under-performed compared to their sales and impact in the
industry, but they were still okay. --- Nominate EPONA for Character Battle 9: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=54225515 |

It
was pretty funny with GTA, people were so stubborn that Metroid Prime
was not weak that they overestimated the rest of the series. Yes San
Andreas flopped, though seeing how Oblivion performed it wasn't that
bad, but people called GTA3 a flop when almost no one had it advancing. --- Calintares made a whole lot of geolocation x-stats Congrats to Dr. Football for winning the Guru. |
UltimaterializerX | Posted 5/13/2010 8:32:32 PM | message detail |
From: charmander6000 | #078 You're laughably wrong on both counts. Halo is a joke compared to actual good shooters, like Doom 3, Left 4 Dead, Call of Duty 4, Tribes, Team Fortress 2, Half-Life 2, Unreal Tournament, Counter-Strike, and a ton of quasi-shooters like Oblivion, Fallout 3, BioShock and a host of others. Then there's good old shooters, like Doom, Quake, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark and all the rest. Sandbox gaming in general is terrible and overdone. --- "This Tea Party crap is such a disgrace to this country. Freaking disgusting." -vcharon |

overall. Really looking forward to Halo Reach, especially after the

UltimaterializerX | Posted 5/13/2010 9:04:42 PM | message detail |
I'll quote someone smarter than I for this one: Single player Halo: fun at first. Then you realize there are only four enemy types and that each endless-seeming level consists of "walk around, enter room/clearing full of the same enemies you just killed, kill them again, walk around some more, etc." I was having a pretty okay time playing through Campaign mode, but then arrived at this stage where I walked into the exact same featureless, nondescript room about a dozen times in a row, with the same group of enemies waiting in ambush every time. Talk about tedious. And yeah, I know about the Flood and how you get to fight them as well, but I got too bored with Halo to make the effort to progress to that point. When taking out bad guys in an FPS becomes a chore instead of a thrill, it's time to move on. I hate playing Halo alone. Multiplayer Halo: I guess co-op might be fun, but I've never gotten the chance to do it with anyone extensively. But I have played a few deathmatches, and I think I loathe them. Every time, I get shot in the back of the head 24 times in a row, and I'm barely able to even graze my opponent. When I tell him that his fortunes would be vastly different were we playing Guilty Gear X2 #Reload, like real men, he laughs and sticks me with a blue grenade, killing me a final time and winning. Then he calls me Cortanna while sodomizing me in front of his Halo buddies. I really hate playing Halo with other people. Redeeming Qualities: It can be sort of fun - until you realize that you're living on a planet with an XBox port of Half-Life 2. Nails in the coffin: Halo 2 and 3. Note that I've played all 3 games to completion, with a LOT of multiplayer in between (my friends and I love shooter multiplayer), and we've all more or less agreed Halo blows and should never be touched again. --- "Not everybody is a perfect person in the world.

@Ulti:
You do realize that the "worst game ever" is a decent midcarder here,
right? Unless you want to believe that RE4/KH2/TP/MGS3/SSBB/MGS4 are
all really so weak. Even Vice City was arguably a bit of a joke in the games contest IMO. It's funny that we're all saying that Metroid Prime is weak just because it narrowly lost to a game that would've likely toasted it at some other sites, and would've at least put up a good fight at other places. |
