GameFAQs Contests

Dear mother of god.

Less than 150 votes in the first minute, and there's no series even standing out so much.

On the bright side, we have incentive to nominate a character from the MX vs. ATV series.

646 votes at the freeze.

What do normal non-contest polls usually average after five minutes?

I'll take a series poll for every semi-relevant company in any medium before I ask for the standard set of polls again.

Today's poll definitely doesn't count as "semi-relevant". For the sake of these polls, I will consider a series poll for any game company to be semi-relevant if at least one of the games in the poll is capable of breaking the fodder line. Today's poll does not have a single game series capable of breaking the fodder line, so I wouldn't consider this poll to be semi-relevant.

This is getting worse and worse. I had to vote for UFC Undisputed because my brother and I played the demo for like 10 minutes.

I would have easily voted for those old N64 WCW games, though. Funnest ever.

I voted for WWE here because I played one for just a few minutes and I loved the N64-games.



This is the first poll I feel safe saying Animal Crossing would win!

What about Valve? If Counterstrike and Day of Defeat count, they've got five. Portal would make six, but I doubt that would be included.

Hmm, I began considering Valve a while ago, but I don't think they have enough series to run a poll for them. Also, looking through here might give you an idea of what other game company polls we might get:

http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/company/

Out of those that are listed right on that page, I think we might get polls for LucasArts and Midway. LucasArts has the Monkey Island and Star Wars games (including KOTOR) while Midway has Mortal Kombat.

Midway is out of business though. WB Games owns Mortal Kombat now, and I don't know if Gamefaqs would run a poll with the former owners of something.

The THQ poll is definitely on track to have the lowest vote totals out of all the game company polls. Vote totals after the first hour for Koei Tecmo, Take-Two Interactive, and THQ

Koei Tecmo - 5316
Take-Two Interactive - 5147
THQ - 4374

Koei Tecmo and Take-Two Interactive were the only 2 polls to get under 60000 votes here, so the THQ poll might not even break 50000 here.

WWF No Mercy was fairly popular on the N64, but at the same time it was one of those games that people forget. Here's the top 20 N64 games as voted by the N64 board.

01. The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time - 1866 (96)
02. Super Mario 64 - 1502 (31)
03. GoldenEye 007 - 1241 (24)
04. Super Smash Bros. - 960 (18)
05. The Legend Of Zelda: Majora’s Mask - 888 (15)
06. Mario Kart 64 - 819 (9)
07. Banjo-Kazooie - 691 (8)
08. Perfect Dark - 670 (16)
09. Star Fox 64 - 605 (2)
10. Paper Mario - 531 (11)
11. Donkey Kong 64 - 437 (6)
12. Banjo-Tooie - 320 (3)
13. Conker’s Bad Fur Day - 287 (5)
14. Diddy Kong Racing - 255 (2)
15. Jet Force Gemini - 172 (1)
16. Harvest Moon 64 - 162 (2)
17. Mario Party - 159 (1)
18. F-Zero X - 152 (1)
19. Mario Tennis - 142 (1)
20. WWF No Mercy - 136 (2)

Kind of makes you wonder what SSB could have done in the games contest. Also Ogre Battle 64 is missing

Not very often. This would be the first poll that didn't break 50k since the last contest ended. Here are 4 polls from earlier this year that didn't break 50k:

Weird poll today. I've never heard of the Almond, Coconut, and Pretzel M&M's before.

Also, tomorrow's poll will not be another "all-time favorite" poll. Tomorrow's poll will be "Do you have any tattoos?". I can't figure out any of the future polls beyond tomorrow's poll.

Pretzel is brand new, I believe. I see commercials for it occasionally. I've seen almond before but I've never even heard of coconut.

I just went to the M&M Store in Times Square last week, too. You think they would have had that ****.

The coconut doesn't taste too close to real coconut for me...but it's still hard to complain about any type of M&M.

Hmmm...I'm not sure I'd take Zack, Ryu, Big Boss, Weegi, or Yoshi over Zelda or Ganon. It'd be really close either way though.

8-14 is pretty interchangable on your list, I'd imagine, and relatively close together.

Eh, I'm not convinced MMX is as strong as Mega Man. Not taking Red over Zack or Cid anytime soon, personally. He'd probably be closer to the 20s than the 10s.
