GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1042
TRE Public Account posted... http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=4330 That's a better poll to use. Ah yes, I forgot about that one. Batman likely will be about Portal 2 level, or maybe a tiny bit below, as well. Best case scenario for B/W is likely 5th place. --- http://raptr.com/badge/cf898f37d9c30ef120ada6c35e636ad3/fs.png http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |

Skyward Sword could probably take Wind Waker easily. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/pjbasis.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
FateStayAlbion posted... Handheld games always bomb in overall GotY, and I doubt this year will be any different. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=4217 Probably won't be much stronger than HG/SS, which was a bit below GoW3 and Starcraft 2 Conversely, HG/SS was only 1% from GoW3. And with SMG2 in the way, there's little doubt that it (a remake mind you) was probably number 3 that year. Handheld games bombing in GotY polls is a myth, they just have to be strong enough. Pokémon is strong enough. There's no anti-handheld stigma. we all just dreamed that up. Look how GotD turned out! --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |
From: Lightning Strikes | #303 Which part? It's not really an anti-handheld stigma, really. It's more of a "They rarely put out anything that can compete with the best console games." --- SuperNiceDog Guru racing with motion controls: http://i52.tinypic.com/2zfiu09.gif http://i54.tinypic.com/10729w2.gif |
LeonhartFour posted... It's not really an anti-handheld stigma, really. It's more of a "They rarely put out anything that can compete with the best console games." The part where every handheld game there put out a strong performance, some beating major console games. People badly underestimated handheld games just because they were handheld games, but there are some strong ones. Yes, ones competing with console games is rare, but you know what series has that strength? Pokémon. Being from a handheld does not by itself reduce poll strength. --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |
Handheld-games can
be strong, but it's not like they often are -- especially in this
setting. MK:DS is the only handheld-game to ever make the final-GotY
poll, and that was in a weak year (coincidentally also being competitive
with a GoW-game that year). HG/SS likely should have been our #3 game
in 2010 and BW deserves some credit this year for being our #2-game last
time we tested 2011's GotY-standings, but BW is on an outdated system
(which probably hurt GoW2 in 2007's GotY-polls) and this year is more
stacked than 2010. ME2 = Skyrim, LoZ:SS > SMG2, and either Portal 2
or Batman: Arkham City should beat GoW3...so BW needs to be both
stronger and more SFF-resilient. That's a tall order for a game on a
handheld from the last generation to overcome in a GotY-setting. pjbasis posted... Skyward Sword could probably take Wind Waker easily. I'm not convinced. LoZ:SS will have a hard time competing with LoZ:TP since the periods of the Wii's lifespan they're released in are vastly different; LoZ:TP completely sold GameFAQs on the Wii despite being multi-platform while nowadays that same Wii has struggled to stay relevant the past three years and is about to become irrelevant again. LoZ:WW also had to face LoZ:MM, making SFF pretty reasonable...so considering LoZ:TP and LoZ:WW aren't that far apart anyway, LoZ:SS will need to prove itself more. It's still the least-hyped LoZ-game, the only one with full motion controls, and possibly the only one that couldn't win its GotY-award -- I think LoZ:WW can handle that. --- http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg Nominate SuperNiceDog's Guru-choice, then Epona. |
I doubt there was much SFF in WW/MM. This doesn't really happen to games unless the fanbase really prefers one. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/pjbasis.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
BW
should consider itself lucky that it's on the DS instead of the 3DS,
because the 3DS still has a low ownership rate on this site. BW would
have had trouble doing well if it's on a system with a poor ownership
rate. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
From: Lightning Strikes | #305 Pokemon sounds like the exception rather than the rule. --- "I can set you free, SuperNiceDog." "My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |
I'm pretty convinced SS beats WW, not because of any poll data, but because it just seems better liked than WW. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
LeonhartFour posted... Pokemon sounds like the exception rather than the rule. Not the point. The point is that it can happen, and there are strong handheld games other than Pokémon. Hell, I'd (discounting SFF) take Golden Sun and Metroid Fusion over R/S/E at the very least. Incidentally, I can't see Skyward Sword being weaker than Wind Waker. --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |
From: Lightning Strikes | #311 The counterpoint is that I never said it couldn't then. --- SuperNiceDog is above the LAW: http://images.cheezburger.com/completestore/2011/8/22/2094c2de-bae8-4f5b-9f27-67eaff0aaeaf.jpg |
This conversation is officially pointless I mean what are we trying to prove anymore? --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |
I'm not sure what you're trying to prove. But the point is that handheld games in general are weaker than console games. Not sure why you'd actually try to argue against that because we have Pokemon games and Golden Sun, but whatever. --- SuperNiceDog is above the LAW: http://images.cheezburger.com/completestore/2011/8/22/2094c2de-bae8-4f5b-9f27-67eaff0aaeaf.jpg |
All I'm saying is Not necessarily Albion's argument: Handheld games bomb (in reference to Pokémon) My argument: Not always (Pokémon, for instance) How often or how many strong handheld games there are relative to console games (which is unfair, as it's a far narrower field) is besides the point. --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |
Only got to the D's... we might have 4 days of multiplatform polls --- http://raptr.com/badge/cf898f37d9c30ef120ada6c35e636ad3/fs.png http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |

Yeah, Dark Souls isn't looking too hot. MW3 probably beats it here, knowing how bad the CoD board vote is --- http://raptr.com/badge/cf898f37d9c30ef120ada6c35e636ad3/fs.png http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |

Man,
Batman rose from the board vote like 2%. Its looking pretty damn
impressive here... Getting like 75% on Modern Warfare 3 is no joke --- http://raptr.com/badge/cf898f37d9c30ef120ada6c35e636ad3/fs.png http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |

Team Rocket Elite (Moderator) | Posted 1/3/2012 12:13:26 AM | message detail | quote It looks like the Multi-Platform polls are going to be divided alphabetically like last year. Bacon has a habit of ordering poll options alphabetically whenever there is a poll that contains games in it. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
I know cross-year GotY polls aren't good to use, but.. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3722 I know CoD has fallen off hard since 2009, but still, god damn. I thought Dark Souls met the hype, but Batman is beating it way way worse than it did back in those hype polls. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png http://i.imgur.com/597oi.png |
Bacon has a habit of ordering poll options alphabetically whenever there is a poll that contains games in it. I meant across multiple polls. He could have mixed them up like with the vote-ins or separated games that are suspected to be top contenders. --- SuperNiceDog was not so nice to my bracket. Congrats to SuperNiceDog for winning the Rivalry Rumble Guru Contest! |
Yeah, something like this would have been better: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=4047 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=4048 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=4049 The games are still listed alphabetically, but at least he mixed up across multiple polls. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
So does this mean we're likely to see Portal 2 vs. Skyrim straight-up two days from now? --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png http://i.imgur.com/597oi.png |
WarThaNemesis2 posted... So does this mean we're likely to see Portal 2 vs. Skyrim straight-up two days from now?

Isn't the title The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, just like how while we call it Legend of Zelda it's The Legend of Zelda? --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png http://i.imgur.com/597oi.png |

That's
what I was wondering. They are fairly close alphabetically, so it's
certainly possible. Bacon should use at least the top 2 from each poll
for the final Multi-plat GOTY, so it won't be an issue of Portal 2 not
getting a fair chance of being there. BTW, just seeing this poll shows how stacked multi-plat really was last year. So much good stuff. EDIT: Nevermind. Good point about the name being Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. --- SuperNiceDog owned me in the Guru. Or do I have to stop using the word "owned" in order to not offend black people due to slavery? |
It might be in tomorrow's poll, because Skyrim is listed under the E section of the PC/PS3/Xbox 360. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
- In the end Zelda couldn't even double Uncharted 3. The hype poll actually overrated it a little, heh. - Dark Souls isn't a threat and will probably lose to Modern Warfare 3... but I don't think anyone apart from a couple of its fans actually suggested otherwise. - Arkham City putting up some impressive numbers. Still think it'll find Portal 2 a tough cookie! - What's all this Pokemon talk? Black/White got thrashed twice by Portal 2 after they were both released... it's not making the final poll. - Prediction: Zelda ends up closer to 3rd place than 1st in the final poll. --- Who knew the Rivalry Rumble would be so predictable? SuperNiceDog, that's who. |
Hopefully
Catherine makes the New IP poll. Be a bit strange to have characters
get through a vote-in poll and into the contest and not have the game
show up. And it wouldn't shock me if it sneaked into a 128 Games Contest
next year, so it'd be nice to have a read on it. --- Who knew the Rivalry Rumble would be so predictable? SuperNiceDog, that's who. |

Hmm,
assuming it's top two advancing, this could be quite the fight between
Dark Souls and MW3 for the last qualifying spot. Dark Souls currently up
by 10, but the day vote will give MW3 a boost so it needs to pull away
over the next few hours. --- Who knew the Rivalry Rumble would be so predictable? SuperNiceDog, that's who. |
Wait
were vanilla MvC3 and UMvC3 both released this year? If Bacon ignores
The I say he should ignore Ultimate too. Come on, give us a comedy MvC3
vs. UMvC3 match. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png http://i.imgur.com/597oi.png |
