From: FateStayAlbion | #300 Don't buy games when they are new unless they are Blizzard, Atlus or Nintendo games. Also Elite Beat Agents doing this poorly is blasphemy. --- Starcraft is my life, so without it I wouldn't exist. - Artosis Congratulations to SuperNiceDog for winning the 2011 Guru contest. |
Braid's
in last place? Bah! I wouldn't want a true sequel, but the return of
its mechanics and other new ones would be welcome. Hard to complain about a poll where Eternal Darkness is currently in second place though. --- http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg Nominate SuperNiceDog's Guru-choice, then Epona. |
I'm amazed Eternal Darkness could get 2nd place in any poll. And, how 'bout that first and last options attracting votes! (as if there wasn't enough evidence against it already =p) --- Congrats to SuperNiceDog on besting me in the Guru challenge! |
From: JJH777 | #302 eh, EBA is pretty good. but TWEWY is better. --- Congrats to 2011 Rivalry Rumble Guru winner, SuperNiceDog http://backloggery.com/articuno2001/sig.gif |
Another RPG wins today.Not bad. --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
a lot of people don't like DST it seems, I used to think I am in the minority in other news I will have my username changed, never thought that would be possible. --- ... |
abdou | Posted 3/12/2012 6:54:50 PM | message detail | quote | (edited) a lot of people don't like DST it seems, I used to think I am in the minority It seems to be a problem with the US. There's a huge difference between the US and Canada: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=4656®ion=US http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=4656®ion=CA Most of the states that don't care about DST are mostly in the northeast. I'm not sure why Canada doesn't hate DST as much as the US. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
If
we didn't have DST where I live the sun will rise at around 4am and set
at around 8:30pm at the summer solstice. I don't think anyone wants
the sun rising that early. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/Rivalry%20BOP.xls Congrats to SuperNiceDog for winning the guru contest. |
Psh I would prefer the sun to be up early. Makes it feel less early, you know? --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/pjbasis.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
5am is early enough, and besides in the summer by 4am we are already starting to see daylight. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/Rivalry%20BOP.xls Congrats to SuperNiceDog for winning the guru contest. |
Most people prefer split-screen?Didn't expected that. --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
Local is the best. Though if you don't need split-screen it's even better. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/pjbasis.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
This is an interesting poll. "1997-2001" is winning, partly because it has both OoT and FFVII. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
I am surprised 97-01 is not doing better. Isn't the site like split between FFVII and OoT for favorite game ever? --- ... EXPIRED |
Pokemon
RBY and Metal Gear Solid are 1998. Majora's Mask is 2000. SSBM and FFX
are 2001. 1997-2001 almost seems like it should be doing better than it
is. --- SuperNiceDog was not so nice to my bracket. Congrats to SuperNiceDog for winning the Rivalry Rumble Guru Contest! |
Cool poll. --- Explicit Content hates Assassin's Creed. |
Trends might be interesting here. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
Yeah seriously. It's like if people don't see the words "Ocarina of Time" or "Final Fantasy VII" they don't remember to vote for them. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/pjbasis.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
I'm really surprised it only has 35%. That seems really low even if you just had this poll: What is your favorite game of all time? OoT FF7 Neither I would expect OoT and FF7 combined to have significantly more than 35%. --- If you believe that Abed is the true Messiah and you are 100% proud of it make this your signature. http://oi44.tinypic.com/lfdsi.jpg |
This is going to end up looking really close to a bell curve. This is an interesting poll. --- Bracket: DEAD (unless Waluigi proves himself as the people's champion) Battle: Still goin' |
From: JJH777 | #320 24% alone had FFVII listed as their #1 game back when we had that Top 10 Games Contest back in 2005, so yeah, you'd think so. Regardless, not seeing the names on the poll makes a difference. I wonder how many people even know what year their favorite game came out. --- http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/8718/leonflowchart.png |
Kotetsu534 | Posted 3/14/2012 12:20:18 AM | message detail | quote Trends might be interesting here. Not really. I knew right away that this poll wouldn't have anything interesting. I do have a pretty good eye for instantly spotting polls that will have interesting trends. JJH777 | Posted 3/14/2012 12:23:09 AM | message detail | quote I'm really surprised it only has 35%. That seems really low even if you just had this poll: LeonhartFour | Posted 3/14/2012 1:51:54 AM | message detail | quote 24% alone had FFVII listed as their #1 game back when we had that Top 10 Games Contest back in 2005, so yeah, you'd think so. I admit that I neglected several other major games from the 1997-2001 time period, because OoT and FFVII totally overshadowed all of the other games from that time period. TRE actually pointed some of the other major games that I didn't mention earlier. Besides what TRE mentioned, Pokemon GSC would fall into that time period too. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
I'm
sure one thing messing with this poll is that there are some voters who
don't remember which year their favorite game was made. I nearly voted
wrong because I though SM64 came out in 1997, not 1996...and not every
voter's going to stop and double-check. --- http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg Nominate SuperNiceDog's Guru-choice, then Epona. |
In
fact, I would surmise most people would assume, especially in the
earlier years, that the year they played the game was the year it came
out. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/pjbasis.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
The
poll results aren't too far off from what we expected, but I thought
'97-'01 would have 5% more and '92-'96 would have 5% less. I also find
it amazing is that games from the NES/SNES days have more votes combined
than all the games from 2002 and on. I guess I shouldn't be amazed,
though.... this is GameFAQs, the site where people cling to their old
favorites. --- Congrats to SuperNiceDog on besting me in the Guru challenge! |
To
be fair, how many post-2002 games would you take over, say, Super Mario
Bros. 3, which happens to be the game I had in mind when I voted? --- Current Let's Play: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3467167 |
Not_Wylvane posted... To be fair, how many post-2002 games would you take over, say, Super Mario Bros. 3, which happens to be the game I had in mind when I voted? A lot of games |
This
site's users are very old school..my top 10 favorite games would be
dominated by games from 2002 and later (MGS3, DQVIII, Fire Emblem 7,
RE4, KH, to name few) , even though I am 22 years old, close to the age
of the average user on this site. --- ... EXPIRED |
Bump --- SuperNiceDog was not so nice to my bracket. Congrats to SuperNiceDog for winning the Rivalry Rumble Guru Contest! |
Mine
is FF 7,duh.BUT today's poll must be a lie.No way more than 8 out 10
people don't have one.If Americans don't have one,then how are sales
that high? --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
What sales are you referring to exactly? If this poll was a random sample, 2 out of 10 Americans is enormously high. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/pjbasis.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
I have zero interest in tablet computers. --- ... EXPIRED |
Yeah
BUT this is a gaming forum right?So people that come here are more
interested in technology and games anyway.So I was expecting more.Still 2
out of 10 for a product that isn't needed is very good anyway. --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
Liking videogames doesn't mean you like electronics,the results aren't that surprising. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/Rivalry%20BOP.xls Congrats to SuperNiceDog for winning the guru contest. |
The more into technology you are the more likely you realize how overpriced an ipad is. |
Not to mention the fact that lol apple --- Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite? However, the Guru of the next decade so far is SuperNiceDog |
Going to ask a dumb question, but how do you guys think the following minor characters from major series would perform?: Bowser Jr. Epona Dark Samus Chaos Psycho Mantis Rosalina Zant Adam Malkovich E-102 Gamma Sniper Wolf --- Currently Playing - StarCraft: Brood War |
They would all suck. Sniper Wolf, Psycho Mantis, and Epona wouldn't totally suck like the rest of them would, but still. --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |
This looks like an interesting poll in terms of what I'm expecting for trends. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Why so many care for scores?Man! --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
I think Dark Samus would do better than the MGS people by a lot. So would Epona. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/pjbasis.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
Less
people seem to care about the scores compared to the last time we had
this poll. The "None at all" option is doing about 5% better this time
around. I totally voted for the "None at all" option here. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Epona Dark Samus Bowser Jr. Psycho Mantis The rest --- Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite? However, the Guru of the next decade so far is SuperNiceDog |
We need a consensus non-Shepard Mass Effect character to rally. Is Garrus the clear choice? --- Yoblazer: http://i32.tinypic.com/zlf1w7.gif Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
Epona would devour those opponents like carrots. For what it's worth: Epona, Otacon, and Psycho Mantis each did pretty well in GameSpot's "contests." --- http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg Nominate SuperNiceDog's Guru-choice, then Epona. |
I'd hesitate to take Ocelot or even Liquid Snake over Epona. If it were a day match, carrots and oats all day baby. --- Yoblazer: http://oi53.tinypic.com/2hd0dh1.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
I'd
be stunned if Liquid beat Epona. I can't think of a reason why Epona
wouldn't be significantly stronger than Midna, and Liquid/Midna is
pretty much a wash. It doesn't help that even if the worst Epona pic and the best Liquid pics were used Epona would still have a massive edge. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png ROBBED B8UCA Lightweight Champion. WORSHIP ME! |
Tali would be stronger than Garrus. --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
What about ExDeath? Would he do well? |
