LeonhartFour posted... raginbull911 posted...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. Haha, not saying I believe those to be canon, but if you can adjust your thinking without necessarily believing it, I find it makes the plot more coherent and engaging for a second playthrough. --- I pwn you all! |
FranzyvonKarma posted... And ragin, before you think I'm massively defending GameFAQs, kanz can attest to me crapping all over GameFAQs mods too! VOUCH. And I think it's fair to dislike Reddit for being kind of a cesspool. Just like 4chan, there's good in all that bad, but it takes work to find it. |
I know what you're saying. But FFVIII doesn't need total bullocks fan theories to be enjoyable on replays! Just focus more on Squall being awesome. He gets better every time I replay the game! --- http://gifsoup.com/view/477513/red-vs-blue-road-rage-part-1-o.gif http://gifsoup.com/view/477534/red-vs-blue-road-rage-part-2-o.gif |
LeonhartFour posted... I know what you're saying. As if further proof was needed of this man's insanity. --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |
@nanis I think you are over simplifying with that you have an immediate distaste for. If you hate Squall then you generally won't like ff8. I don't think it makes all the other characters as awful as you think. You already hate Squall you aren't going to like most of the other characters. I say it slants your view quite a bit by then. I am probably partial as FFVIII is still one of my favorites. *shrugs --- If you're worried people are talking about you... you're probably right. |
I
didn't realize people thought there was no point in replaying Final
Fantasy games! They're all fun to replay. It's like rewatching your
favorite movie. You know it's not going to change but it's still
something you want to experience over and over again. --- ~Zen |
I know Squall doesn't take off his shirt enough for you, but don't hold that against him! --- http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lo22vfguji1qzxr43.gif |
KanzarisKelshen posted... Nanis23 posted...The only game I really love to say I hate is FFVIII Surprise surprise, more board 8 double standards. When BT rails out against the ****fest that is FF9, his opinions are wrong and laughable. When some random newbie rails out against FF8 which is universally loved, it's perfectly understandable and reasonable. --- Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite? However, the Guru of the next decade so far is SuperNiceDog |
Teemo has finally dropped to his lowest percent of the match --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 46/58 Today's Picks: Auron and L-Block |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... FF8 which is universally loved LOL (Also it's probably because Nanis actually tried to express his dislike in a rational manner instead of resorting to just insulting the game and its fans. It's not a double standard that people are more understanding and accepting of people who actually discuss things in a polite manner.) --- "Why must we always choose between certain death and probable death?" "I'm in an epic battle to the death, FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF!" |
IMO
FF9 is a lot better than FF8 and the only reason it lacks popularity is
because it was released so late in the PSX's life cycle. You're honest to goodness the first person I've heard that's played FF9 that didn't like it. --- I pwn you all! |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... KanzarisKelshen posted...Nanis23 posted...The only game I really love to say I hate is FFVIII We're finally getting through to him! --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |
When I am off my sig parole I might sig BT's quote about ff8 holy crap. --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... KanzarisKelshen posted...Nanis23 posted...The only game I really love to say I hate is FFVIII I honestly don't even talk to you, Turtle. Nanis has been a guy I've chattered with for months thanks to my PW playthrough topic series, hence my curiosity about his opinion. Don't be such a drama queen and take any opportunity to play the victim. There's no big B8 conspiracy here. |
raginbull911 posted... IMO FF9 is a lot better than FF8 and the only reason it lacks popularity is because it was released so late in the PSX's life cycle. FF9 is a slow game, introduces no new battle mechanics, has an atrocious art style, and a cast of characters that I would say is easily the worst in the series (which says a lot given 10 and 13's casts) Hold a poll on any mainstream gaming site, and of the first 10 games, 9 is probably only higher than and 3. --- Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite? However, the Guru of the next decade so far is SuperNiceDog |
YES THERE IS! C-O-N-SPIRACY! --- ~War~ |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... Hold a poll on any mainstream gaming site, and of the first 10 games, 9 is probably only higher than and 3. I assume you don't consider GameFAQs a mainstream gaming site then. --- http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lo22vfguji1qzxr43.gif |

Teemo sucks. I think Palutena now has a lead bigger than what Jak ever had. --- Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner |
LeonhartFour posted... BlAcK TuRtLe posted...Hold a poll on any mainstream gaming site, and of the first 10 games, 9 is probably only higher than and 3. Not at all. It's very clear that GameFAQs lives in its own little world. Nowhere else on the internet would Catherine win a match (except maybe some creepy hentai forums) --- Game of the decade?

So have people finally stopped talking about a Teemo rally yet? Because I have no idea why anyone even thought that would happen. --- @w@ Gamertag: SliceSabre |
eh. I'd take 9 over 1 3 4 5. --- If you're worried people are talking about you... you're probably right. |
SliceSabre posted... So have people finally stopped talking about a Teemo rally yet? time to rally OVER 9000 VOTES .... :lol |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... raginbull911 posted...IMO FF9 is a lot better than FF8 and the only reason it lacks popularity is because it was released so late in the PSX's life cycle. I know, right? GameFAQS only likes indie niche games like The World Ends with You and Catherine. --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar. |
Hold a poll on any mainstream gaming site, and of the first 10 games, 9 is probably only higher than and 3. 9 would finish higher than 2, 3 and 5. 1 and 4 may be debatable. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 46/58 Today's Picks: Auron and L-Block |

LinkMarioSamus posted... ...am I the only one who wants to see a bonus poll with snubbed veterans? It could increase their chance of making it into a future contest. If we had such a poll, I say we hold it between Liquid Snake, Ken, and Jecht. You're not the only one. I'd certainly be interested in seeing a bonus match with Liquid Snake, Chris Redfield, and Jecht in it. You could even substitute some of those characters for other contest veterans that somehow missed the contest. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |

I don't know what hole you were living in, but there was a huge amount of people talking about Catherine when the game was launched. I'm not sure how many of those played it (I haven't), but the character is a lot more recognizable than you think. |
He's more upset about Vaas losing than Neku lawl --- http://i52.tinypic.com/2zfiu09.gif http://i54.tinypic.com/10729w2.gif |
It's
a weird day when both Turtle and the guy he's debating with are both
right. GameFAQS is its own thing (as evidenced by the enormous
disparities between it and GameSpot's contests beyond the 4chan
trolling), but it's also fairly representative of the old fogey jRPG
crowd. |

I
saw webcomics and blogs talking about Catherine. This isn't just some
niche game that is contained to a single board, everyone heard about
Catherine and read about it, because it was different than anything they
had seem before. And many people probably played it because of that. Can't you simply admit that you losing that point is not a result of GameFAQs's weirdness, but just a lack of your own knowledge about the populatiry of games? You are not omniscient, you know. |

Sorry but no. Mario being top tier in Gamespot is not '4chan and Valve'. Snake being top tier, likewise. Gordon Freeman and Master Chief being MUCH better than Sonic and Cloud though, IS indicative that GameFAQS has widely divergent opinions from the aggregated gamer collective, over all. |
I used to view BT as a sage, but you people are making me question that. I think I will stick with ZeldaTP's predictions. --- @w@ Gamertag: SliceSabre |
SliceSabre posted... I used to view BT as a sage, but you people are making me question that. Don't. I suck at this contest. I have Juliet Starling, Pac-Man and Robotknik winning in the second round. |
BT
has a track record of some pretty savvy picks over all, but before his
contest success he was known as a bit of a douche and that's never
changed. --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
Achromatic posted... BT has a track record of some pretty savvy picks over all, but before his contest success he was known as a bit of a douche and that's never changed. Also a welcher IIRC. Didn't he bet his account on something and renege later? |

LinkMarioSamus posted... I still have a feeling that the rally will never come. The rally never happen... --- Ours is not to reason why, ours is but to do and die. |
Lopen posted... If you actually read the Draven rally topics most people were saying "screw you I'm voting for Jak" in them too. Unfortunately, Draven got far more votes than the number of people who were posting in the Draven rally topics. The conclusion here is that most of the rallied voters for Draven looked at the rally topics and then voted without even posting in the topic. LeonhartFour posted... At least Teemo will give us something to adjust Draven by in the X-Stats...! I'd probably pick Draven to get between 55-60% on Draven without any SFF. cade posted... How many votes came from Europe in the Draven match compared to in the average match? I wouldn't be surprised if that match got over 10000 votes from Europe. Night matches in the Rivalry Rumble had average vote totals of 28354, with an average of 5057 votes from Europe. We can't even view the results for an entire continent anymore, because the old Geolocation system was killed off and replaced with the new poll maps. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
BT's track record isn't that
good he's just really loud whenever he's right and shuts up when he's
wrong. He's like me with the insanity scaled back slightly and less
reveling in amazing failures. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
KanzarisKelshen posted... Also a welcher IIRC. Didn't he bet his account on something and renege later? No, he barely avoided it. He bet HaRRicH that Snake wouldn't beat Mega Man and Zero combined in 2008 and he survived by less than a percent. I made a prediction that Snake would score 43% the previous round and BT said "I'll close my account if that happens" and then backpedaled and said that he meant that he might as well close it, not that he would. --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/Sensui22/1248835958206.png |
KanzarisKelshen posted... Achromatic posted...BT has a track record of some pretty savvy picks over all, but before his contest success he was known as a bit of a douche and that's never changed. There was no reneging. I can't remember what the bet was, but the conditions were never met. --- Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite? However, the Guru of the next decade so far is SuperNiceDog |
You guys give BT far too much attention. Keep in mind that a troll's lifeblood is attention. --- Drop it to the floor... |
Anyway, next match. Tom Nook > Dragonborn > Pyramid Head looks like a sexy expert pick to make right about now.... --- Drop it to the floor... |

Pyramid Head could beat Tom Nook, he did look half decent in 2007. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 46/58 Today's Picks: Auron and L-Block |
