Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1097

I didn't care at all about LoL but then LoL fans mass-rallied a site that needed SomethingAwful intervention to realize 'oh hey, actively assisting in trading child porn is a bad idea' to screw up our dumb little popularity contest that Bacon double-ruined with a stupid format, all while being pretty holier-than-thou about how incredible their fanbase is.

So I mean, I still don't dislike LoL anyways because it's a dumb popularity contest but it's not a glowing endorsement that they champion how they dragged 10,000 people from reddit to GameFAQs.

Yeah, 60+% is the number to watch here. If he goes that high then Dragonborn is legit.

Not buying that Vault Boy is Dragonborn's floor. I'd vote for the ol' Pipboy Pal over most people because I have very fond memories of Fallout, but not over Dragonborn because I loved Skyrim but he has zero personality. Dragonborn can very well tank. No need to overhype him.

Zero personality? Someone warn the noble nine we have a breaker.

Also Dragonborn is going to disappoint and impress by pulling off a decent win in round 1 and then look really good against Tifa/Yuna(orChief) and we will have no explanation for it.

Touché guys, Touché. But you know what I mean when I say zero personality. Even though Mario and Link have zero personality, they have very snappy and memorable designs and enormous nostalgia power. Dragonborn isn't exactly Conan levels of iconic, let's be honest.

I don't know if I'd necessarily think he's legit with 60% even. Lugia got 60% but Sly and York are bad fodder. We know Tom Nook and Pyramid Head are both bad fodder.

Asking for 70% is probably a bit much though.

The only game I really love to say I hate is FFVIII
It's just that..when you hate a game so much because it's so terrible and you can't understand why people like it,you must express your opinion
I don't know how many times I tried to replay FFVIII each time hoping that maybe now I will like it..but to no avail
(even though some games are more enjoyable in future playthrougs..because you know where to go,more familiar with the mechanics and exploits.etc)


Out of curiosity, which part angers you so much Nanis? There's lots of little details to FF8 you might miss if you don't actively look for 'em.


Almost everything
The story is bad and the characters are terrible
Seifer is like Sasuke gone bad (and Sasuke is bad enough) and even the fan favorite Zell is bad
Squall is emo,Selphie likes trains,Quistis is pitiful...but the worst of them all is Rinoa
That "you're going to like me" scene was a disaster and she just chase Squall the whole game
Don't care about Irvine and Laguna was cool

As for gameplay,there is the fact enemies scale with you,you need to gather special items to "upgrade" your weapons,grinding on stealing powers from enemies (don't remember too much but it was stupid) and it was..not fun
There is also something annoying about the summons but I don't remember it very much

Oh yeah and NORG...what was that supposed to be..?
The only good thing that came from this game was Man With the Machine Gun

But everyone that has played Skyrim knows what a Dragonborn is which I feel is enough to win that match.

It should help you can't go 10 minutes without hearing some NPC referring to you as the Dragonborn. That name is really ingrained in your head after playing it for a while.

For what it's worth while I loved my Dragonborn(s) I won't actually be voting it in the contest over much of anything because that lamer guy with the iron helmet is not close to any of the characters I made.

I'm not sure I'm your typical Skyrim voter though. I just feel like unlike the likes of Commander Shepard the Dragonborn is too freestyle personalitywise to really feel a connection with if the pic is completely wrong. Like you can make ten different characters and have a different idea for all of them. With Shepard while there is some freedom in how you play the character does fall within certain personality limits to an extent.

This is such an ignorant statement I'm not even going to bother giving a full rebuttal to it. I know you're referring to the jailbait crap from over a year ago. That was gross, and Reddit instituted new policies to clean it up. But Reddit isn't a site full of crap from the underbelly of the internet like the Onion Network. There's tons of good parts of Reddit, and it's users have also done plenty of good for various people and communities.

I just take offense to the implication that because I'm a Redditor I somehow support child pornography.

So the Dragonborn is closer to the Saints Row Boss than Shepard? From my Morrowind explorations, I thought as much.

Just generally speaking though, a lack of personality clearly doesn't hurt you on this site.

I enjoyed FF8.. it's a hard game to replay though unless you're able to run with some of the wacky plot theories out there like Rinoa=Ultimecia and Squall is dead after the first disc and adjust your perceptions accordingly. I find the other FF's (at least before 11) to be more replayable.

I wasn't implying all Redditors are pedophiles, but the fact that it took outside influences to get reddit to give a damn shows how terrible 'post whatever the hell you want we don't care' websites are, which is pretty much what reddit is. I view reddit as a much more popular 4chan, and I've never really seen anything to imply it isn't, right down to 'HUR HUR LET'S TROLL THOSE PEOPLE AND THEIR POPULARITY CONTEST AWW YEAH WE'RE SO COOL FOR PUTTING TOGETHER WEEKS OF PLANNING FOR THIS UNLIKE THOSE LOSERS', and well, I don't think highly of 4chan either!
