Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1047
Thought GTAIV would be doing way better. |

What's
the point of asking which one you've never played? I haven't played 3
games out of those 10. Asking which one is favorite would make at least
sense. --- From MrStarkiller to MrLogickiller | Moxie Salamance | The Social Network | Period | Bad Luck Brian | Totally Worth It |
What I think this poll is about, is picking the first game on that list that you haven't played. So if you haven't played OOT, you pick OOT If you have played OOT but not SMG, you pick SMG. If you have played OOT and SMG, but not SMG2, you pick SMG2. etc. You follow the list starting at OOT and pick the first one you haven't played. |

It's asking which one that you haven't played is the best, according to the rankings. So if you haven't played OoT, then you should be voting OoT. This would give us some interesting stats if people were to vote accurately. For instance: Among those who have played OoT: 83.06% have played SMG. Among those who have played both OoT and SMG: 81.75% have played SMG2. Among those who have played OoT, SMG, SMG2 and GTAIV: 92.11% have played SoulCalibur. Among those who have played the top 8 games: 90.44% have played SM64. Among those who have played the top 9 games: 50.05% have played Batman AA. Assuming I didn't mess up anywhere. --- SuperNiceDog is also a SuperSmartDog. |
ffmasterjose posted... LOL, yeah the wording of the Poll has to be throwing people off. There is just no way OoT should be winning a Poll on "Best game never played" on GameFAQs My guess is that there is a mistake in the poll question and it should actually say "ever" instead of "never". --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
No, the last option clearly rules that out. --- Guess who I am! http://gifsoup.com/webroot/animatedgifs3/1345748_o.gif |
Good point there, you are right about that. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
A shame the poll's too awkward to really get anything out of it other than OoT's playrate. --- Current LP's: Harvest Moon - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3512683 Legend of Mana - See Quote |
Oh
yeah, the trends for this poll are expected to be the exact opposite of
what we are normally used to seeing. As a result, OoT has a good night
vote instead of the usual terrible night vote. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
I like this poll too, in a weird way. Voted Super Mario Galaxy. But in my mind I was just picking which game of the ones I haven't played seemed like the "best". --- Your favorite Trapper's favorite Trapper What am I doing? Oh yeah that's right I'm doing me |
we're going to hit 50k votes for this poll this hasn't happened in quite a while. --- ... |
Boudii posted... we're going to hit 50k votes for this poll We could have done it on Tuesday's poll, but it didn't happen because there was some downtime that happened during that poll. We did have some poll back in September that broke 50000 votes. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
creative got suspended? Is all the data on his site gone now? :( --- I am the dragon of blood, a relentless prince of pain Renouncing God on his throne, my blood is forever stained. |
His
site got suspended. I don't know if that means all the data on his
site is gone. But I guess the sooner he gets his site unsuspended, the
better his chances of keeping all the data on his site. Visiting his site right now is safe to do since the suspended page does not have any harmful scripts that contain viruses or other stuff. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Yeah, came in to comment on the "high" votals. OoT still puts asses in the seats! --- Your favorite Trapper's favorite Trapper What am I doing? Oh yeah that's right I'm doing me |
Okay, just submitted a ticket to Allen asking about a Contest. Hopefully he sees it before the weekend starts! --- Your favorite Trapper's favorite Trapper What am I doing? Oh yeah that's right I'm doing me |
http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/11-sballin/64435433 He said we will have a contest, but not in this year. --- The chosen one. |
that became obvious a while ago but it's nice to get a confirmation from him. Hopefully the contest will be a great one. --- ... |
Best Quote contest, coming right up --- You know who's sexy? Black Turtle, the 2010 Games Contest Guru Winner, that's who! |
Don't be too upset about it though, as we're hoping to roll one out in the first few months of 2013 So it can be as late as April, May.... it sucks --- Congratulation to SuperNiceDog. Guru Champ and Rivalry Rumble Master |
Yeah, I submitted that ticket well before he made that post on Sballin! Aww man, not until the first few months of 2013? That sucks! --- Your favorite Trapper's favorite Trapper What am I doing? Oh yeah that's right I'm doing me |
Yes that makes it sounds like it'll be at least March-April. --- From MrStarkiller to MrLogickiller | Moxie Salamance | The Social Network | Period | Bad Luck Brian | Totally Worth It |

k see ya all next year --- Current LP's: Harvest Moon - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3512683 Legend of Mana - See Quote |
Ugh next year. Had a feeling because nothing at all was happening, still sucks when it's confirmed. : \ --- - |
This
really hurts Master Chief. He had the perfect opportunity the storm
this contest with the power of GAME FUEL and by the time the next
contest starts, GAME FUEL will no longer be on the market anymore.
Also, Halo 4 would have been at least 2 1/2 months old by the time the
contest starts. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
I am so bummed about that announcement. I wanted to see a Halo 4 + GAME FUEL powered Chief. Very very sad. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Terrible news, but at least it's news. What major games are releasing in the next contest's potential time-frames? --- http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg Nominate SuperNiceDog's Guru-choice, then Epona. |
Dead Space 3 Metal Gear Rising Revengeance Bioshock Infinite GTAV God of War Ascension Possibly Pikmin 3, and maybe some other Nintendo games. Oh yeah Tomb Raider too. --- - |
GTAV ? --- From MrStarkiller to MrLogickiller | Moxie Salamance | The Social Network | Period | Bad Luck Brian | Totally Worth It |
GTA
III, Vice City, San Andreas, and IV are all fairly equal in strength. I
don't think I could confidently choose one game out of those 4 that is
the strongest game in the series. Based on that, it would make sense
for GTA V to have similar strength to those 4 games. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
I
always feel GTAIV would be the weakest of the bunch, but it did fairly
well against Pokemon RSE while San Andreas lost to Golden Sun (sure GS
had a release on the day of the match). Overall GTAIII was the most
impressive IMO, but I'm sure it benefited from smart voterFAQs. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/Rivalry%20BOP.xls Congrats to SuperNiceDog for winning the guru contest. |
V's coming out? Say good-bye to Niko and good luck against Kefka to whoever the main character of V is. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
Maybe they'll announce the next Dissidia and Kefka will end up kicking his ass. I'm happy Kefka decided to randomly not suck, but it's a shame it took him seven years to decide to be good. --- Current LP's: Harvest Moon - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3512683 Legend of Mana - See Quote |
Seven years and a boost because of a somewhat polarizing PSP game. |
I think Vice City and III are probably the strongest of the bunch, although they're all fairly close together overall. --- http://img.imgcake.com/tumblrmb8ky9zpsk1qd3518o8250gifyd.gif http://img.imgcake.com/tumblrmb8ky9zpsk1qd3518o6250gifuv.gif |
San
Andreas finished far ahead of Vice City in the GOTD stats though. I
can understand someone making a case for Vice City getting SFF'd by
Resident Evil 4 however, not least because the GOTD x-stats have Vice
City getting around 34% on Metroid Prime - then you look who beat who in
the previous games contest. I have to assume that Vice City's win over Prime in BGE2009 followed by Prime looking beastly and Vice City's possible SFF loss are what have most of us believing in Vice City > San Andreas still. |
GameFAQs t-shirts --- ... |
I want a "Death of the Noble Nine" t-shirt with Vincent, L-Block, and Missingno on it. --- http://i848.photobucket.com/albums/ab48/Leonhart4/Squall.jpg |
What about Kirby, Auron, and Cube? --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
Man, people really didn't like the first Epic Mickey, huh. --- http://i.imgur.com/fe05x.png http://i.imgur.com/stNJf.png |
Halo is winning the poll so easily despite the presence of a Paper Mario and a big-name Smash Bros. rip-off? Oh wait, how is PlayStation All-Stars performing so badly again? --- Currently Playing - Metroid Prime 2, Twilight Princess, Metal Gear Solid 4 |
From: LeonhartFour | #191 I want a "Death of the Noble Nine" t-shirt with Vincent, L-Block, and Missingno on it. Need one that chronicles Magus's contest history. Or perhaps one dedicated to Magus v Knuckles with "lol xstats" --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Paper Mario beating Call of Duty. All is right in the world. --- Current LP's: Harvest Moon - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3512683 Legend of Mana - See Quote |
Nah, it was pretty easy to show Magus wasn't Noble Nine caliber using stats. Not my fault nobody believed me! --- Leonhart posting from his phone |
Sigh, what is the possible reason for not doing contests? The other thing that aggravates me too is that the longer in between, I feel the likelihood the contest that eventually results is going to be a generic character battle. Which I guess isn't the worst thing, but it's not all that exciting... --- One of the most troublesome things in life is that what you do or do not want has little to do with what does or does not happen. 4983-4640-3352 Brawl Code |
Bacon
said contests take a lot of resources and time to setup and run, I am
sure he would rather be making some new feature/upgrade to the site
instead. While we love contests, they're way down on Bacon's priority
list. --- ... |
We haven't had a real character battle in three years. That's honestly what I want at this point. --- http://i848.photobucket.com/albums/ab48/Leonhart4/Squall.jpg |
