GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1047
If Melee had online support, than that by far. F-Zero GX second after that. If not...I guess Path of Radiance because it's one of the only ones I don't have. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
Yeah, this is an odd one, but still fun to see games I like doing better than they'd do in a contest setting. --- Current LP's: Harvest Moon - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3512683 Legend of Mana - See Quote |
Melee nearly doubled Wind Waker twice in the 2009 Games Contest. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3469 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3489 And in today's poll, Wind Waker currently has 56.05% on Melee. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Hey
guys, I never asked you this before, but what did you think about Game
of the Decade compared to other contests and Character Battles? Was it a
nice innovative idea? --- SuperNiceDog wags his tail better than your regular, standard dog. -If someone scares the hell out of you, then are you protected by God? |
GoTD was a great contest imo, not the best but I enjoyed it a lot . --- ... |
I
don't get people wanting new Zero or BN games. Those two series ended
already, let's not bastardize them with new incarnations. --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsbvaQcuW9k http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3EAmdg3xls |
If it was your favorite series, then it makes sense that you'd want another game. --- "I can set you free, mate." "My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |
I loved GotD, even if you ended up being a s****y oracle partner. X9! X9! --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
LeonhartFour posted... If it was your favorite series, then it makes sense that you'd want another game. Battle Network and Zero ARE my favorite Mega Man series. They were just wrapped up in satisfying ways that I don't trust Capcom to not bastardize. I'd rather them take a chance on a series like Mega Man ZX that has similar gameplay to Zero but hasn't been concluded satisfactorily. --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsbvaQcuW9k http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3EAmdg3xls |
That
was a really weird result yesterday. I figured most Wii owners already
had both Melee and Wind Waker, so I'm surprised those two did so well.

You'd think a lesser known game would have won. I think it's safe to say Final Fantasy VII isn't the highest downloaded PSN game because most people don't have it. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
Actually,
I'd say that is likely the case. Or rather, that they don't own it
anymore. I don't know why people would pay for another copy of a game
they already own, especially for a system they could already play it on
if they still owned it. --- Guess who I am! http://gifsoup.com/webroot/animatedgifs3/1345748_o.gif |
Wind Waker and Melee are both 10 or more years old. It's a valid analogy. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
I'm not saying it isn't. Besides, what are the odds those games have 80%+ ownership rate on this site anyway? Very low. --- "Why must we always choose between certain death and probable death?" "I'm in an epic battle to the death, FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF!" |

Wind
Waker is actually kind of expensive on Amazon, which gives me the
impression it's more sought after than we may think. Goes for about $40
used, which is more than any other big GameCube game. It's also,
surprisingly, the most expensive mainline Zelda game, even beating out
Skyward Sword and the GameCube Twilight Princess. Hell, it's more
expensive than the Ocarina/Master Quest promo disc. --- Yoblazer: http://oi45.tinypic.com/258ngvc.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
creativename's
website is back up again. Sometime last month, his website was
suspended by his web host. I assume that was done to prevent other
computers from being infected and to remove the infection from his
website. I can now say that creativename's website is safe to visit now. All of the harmful scripts were removed from his website. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |

Today's poll is very similar to the following poll back in 2006: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2567 In that poll, 10.27% of the site actually planned to do that with the PS3. Compared to just 2.44% with the Wii U. Less than 24 hours left until Wii U launches. I think previous polls have indicated that Wii U ownership on the launch date will not come close to Wii's ownership on the launch date. The Wii had an ownership of 23.74% on the launch date, based on this poll: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2575 For any game system, that is ridiculous to have that much ownership on the launch date. The Wii U would be lucky just to pull off 11.87% ownership (half of 23.74%) on the launch date. Not too long ago, a previous poll indicated that the Wii U will just barely break 10% ownership on the launch date, according to this poll: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=4896 Right there, that is a projected ownership of 10.21% on the launch date if it holds up well. That would barely break the 3DS's ownership of 10.03% on the launch date and that's considering the 3DS was horribly overpriced at launch too. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
1 minute until Wii U time. Let's do this. Let's see how the Wii U's ownership will fare in this upcoming poll. Oh, and don't be surprised if the Wii U starts out the poll with terrible ownership because it should increase all day throughout the entire poll. I remember this was true with the 3DS, where the ownership continued to increase all day. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
7.92%
ownership at the freeze. That should increase all day long as some
people might hold off on their vote until after they get their Wii U
today. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
I hate the Wii U polls probably because how uninterested in it I am. --- ... |
Wow, ownership just dropped to 6.94% on this update. Not good for the Wii U's chances of breaking 10% ownership on launch day. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Meh, Wii U is really weak as of right now. --- http://i1109.photobucket.com/albums/h427/speaky961/serious.png |
That's not looking good for the Wii U --- ... |

Wii
U finished with 7.57% ownership on launch day. It would have been
higher if it launched in Europe on the same day as well, as ownership in
North America was 9.38%. So, that brings us to this update: https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=0AgBWiYjlMLwYdDZFV2I1SFl4VXFDMjQ2RmJqUXJTd0E --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Hmm, a Mass Effect poll today. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
55% playrate, not bad. --- ... |
This
poll doesn't say anything about the playrate for the individual games,
but I assume ME2 would likely have the highest playrate out of the 3
games. ME1 and the series as a whole suffers from the fact ME1 isn't
available on PS3 yet. Once ME1 is released on PSN as a downloadable game and the Mass Effect Trilogy is released, I think it would be enough to push the playrate over 60% in the future. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
It's almost 60% now. Whoo Euro vote --- "Hold on a minute! That testimony stinks!" "Witness! You can't just say 'Hello' and expect us to get anywhere! I want you to testify!" |
Wonder why it jumps from "I played one" to "I own two" --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
I
don't think there's much of a difference between "I played one" and "I
own two". Plus, I think it's very unlikely to own just one game and not
get around to playing the one game you do own. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |

Just
barely over an 80% playrate for Pong? I thought it would have been
higher than that. Tetris had a 97.36% playrate on GameFAQs at one
point. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
