Sure, 90s > Good 80s > 00s > 10s > Bad 80s By and large. --- *shrug* |

What
games from the 80s are really good? Most I can think of is Final
Fantasy, Legend of Zelda, and Super Mario Bros. All of which seems like
they could fold against most games from the same series that came later. --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
Then00bAvenger posted... What games from the 80s are really good? Most I can think of is Final Fantasy, Legend of Zelda, and Super Mario Bros. All of which seems like they could fold against most games from the same series that came later. Games from the 90s, the strongest era of all. Say whatever you want, SMB is not dropping a match to Sunshine. LoZ takes Skyward Sword without even breaking a sweat. Final Fantasy wastes any game made after FFX. The next tier is a threat, too. How many GotD games can Tetris beat? A lot, I'd wager. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
And
that's before you even get into the 90s, where the entire argument
becomes a joke. I can think of ten games off the top of my head from the
90s that would completely dismantle Brawl, in a not-even-close affair. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
SMB would fold to SMG, though. --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |

Tetris
is the Pac-Man (the character not the game ya doofus) of video games I
guarantee it loses to anything worth anything from any era --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
I'm
not convinced of SMG > SMB - Galaxy's strength has always been soft
in every match it's been in, to the point where it's been thoroughly
embarrassed in many a match against underwhelming opposition. But it
matters not, because big bro SMB3 would do something like quad SMG
anyway. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
1v1,
I might take The Oregon Trail over anything CoD, especially if it was a
day match and the cavalier family had less to worry about from
unfriendly overseas voters. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/NQTthNf.jpg |
Karma Hunter posted... I can think of ten games off the top of my head from the 90s that would completely dismantle Brawl, in a not-even-close affair. FFVII, OoT, RBY, LttP, CT, FFVI, SM64, SMB3, SMW augh what am I missing --- Fight like dragons, have no fear, swords are made of STEEEEEEEEL~ |

I think I'd repressed that I still don't understand that result. I'm going to say it's L-Block joke votes to make myself feel better --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

what about Brawl/Melee |
Well
I'd take Melee to win now but I wouldn't be confident in that match not
being close. Still, Melee should have the NostalgiaFAQs edge now. I'd
be extremely confident in it. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
I have just posted the final voting topic for this Sunday's bonus match: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/66985041 Go there and vote in the poll. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Karma Hunter posted... Well I'd take Melee to win now but I wouldn't be confident in that match not being close. Still, Melee should have the NostalgiaFAQs edge now. I'd be extremely confident in it. no I mean Melee and Brawl as in games from the 2000s with strength |
1337gamerpr0 posted... Karma Hunter posted...Well I'd take Melee to win now but I wouldn't be confident in that match not being close. Still, Melee should have the NostalgiaFAQs edge now. I'd be extremely confident in it. Well yeah there's plenty of games from the 2000s with strength - that's what GotD was all about. Can't compare to the 90s, but some of them can still hang around. But the main point is that old games > new games, and quite decisively. Heck, GotD's winner, even though it was my favorite game in the bracket, is a 90s game in everything but technicality. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
anondum posted... 8 would bomb anyway because it's... not a good game I hate to break it to you, but FFVIII did well in the 2009 Games Contest. Doubled FFIX in an SFF match, whoo! -LusterSoldier- posted... Also, this site doesn't value the older games as much as the new games. Without division by eras, games from the 1980s and 1970s are almost unlikely to get into the contest. We've seen polls for the best decade in games and the best console generation and this site doesn't have any respect for the NES generation and anything before the 1990s. But we don't need them. Most of the games in the first two divisions in the 2009 Games Contest were total wastes of space. --- http://www.gifsoup.com/view/593815/frasier-and-niles-dance-o.gif |
Actually
I considered MGS, but I'm hesitant to even take it over Melee. I can't
get a sense of how strong exactly it is beyond "below RBY" which could just mean I'm dumb and don't know how the MGS fanbase works - I'm guessing it would throttle all of its sequels? --- Fight like dragons, have no fear, swords are made of STEEEEEEEEL~ |

Still, Melee should have the NostalgiaFAQs edge now. I'd be extremely confident in it. I wanted Melee to win that :( oh well, MM/FFX were both better than Brawl (I wonder what an actual game of the generation contest would look like, I highly doubt Skyrim actually wins) |
Also,
while the upper crust of our strongest games are old games, the
majority of our midcard games are newer games. There's a big gap between
strong old games and weak old games. --- http://i848.photobucket.com/albums/ab48/Leonhart4/Squall.jpg |
And lost in all of this is that Recette's lead over Travis is shrinking... --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |
Janus5000 posted... which could just mean I'm dumb and don't know how the MGS fanbase works - I'm guessing it would throttle all of its sequels? MGS1 is the clear favorite among the fanbase, yes. I think the MGS hierarchy nowadays would go pretty clearly 1 > 3 > 2 > 4 now. --- http://i848.photobucket.com/albums/ab48/Leonhart4/Squall.jpg |
LeonhartFour posted... Also, while the upper crust of our strongest games are old games, the majority of our midcard games are newer games. There's a big gap between strong old games and weak old games. this, old games have strong games and turbofodder, with very little in between also I doubt Travis' cuts will hold up once the 250 vote barrier is in danger |
Janus5000 posted... Actually I considered MGS, but I'm hesitant to even take it over Melee. I can't get a sense of how strong exactly it is beyond "below RBY" While it's something that I've had to harp on since 2004, in a word - YES. MGS is the most beloved, has the highest playrate, has a remake, is the 90s game (THE NINETIES FACTOR), and at this point I doubt you'd find more than a handful of the fanbase that thinks the other games are stronger. Going along what you raised, MGS can be compared to its sequels like RBY is to its sequels, to use a rough approximation. You get a lot of vocal appreciation for G/S/C and the R/S/E paradigm shift and stuff but at the end of the day, the glory goes to the first. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |

SMB
beats Galaxy, I think. I couldn't tell you why GameFAQs seems to not be
on board with Galaxy like they are with other big Wii games, but it
never does as well as it should (highest rated game of all-time, even!).
Polls, contests, anything. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |

I'd
take Brawl in a Smash rematch because it was 50/50 last time but Brawl
would be a huge favorite this time and that's enough to give it the
edge. Brawl, despite being a much worse and less fun game, had a bigger
cast and some semblance of online play, and that sufficiently classifies
as "superior" to enough people. It's not that people are dumb, it's just that they're... I dunno, not as smart as me. --- http://i.imgur.com/a4GuDV3.gif |
It
advanced past round 1, but it got rocked by CoD4 and finished dead last
in round 2 behind Grand Theft Auto IV (with Brawl in the same poll, to
be fair to Galaxy). --- "I can set you free, mate." "My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |

I couldn't tell you why GameFAQs seems to not be on board with Galaxy like they are with other big Wii games, but it never does as well as it should (highest rated game of all-time, even!). Polls, contests, anything. in a just world Galaxy would've beat TP and made it all the way to the final :( wait actually, if I had it my way, Melee would've been there, never mind still though |
Brawl is better because more is better. --- "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!" |
it
seems like people loved MGS4 at first but then years later started
hating it, while MGS2 is the opposite everyone hated that game when it
came out but now people like it but I definitely agree with MGS1 and MGS3 being the two best, they are both miles ahead of the rest of the series --- ... |
Yeah, I don't what the deal is with Galaxy is on here. Game of the generation and it can't get 40% on TP. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
I
think the funniest part about Melee vs Brawl discussions is that the
Melee people like to pretend melee has so much more substance. Both
games are empty fanservice! --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
MGS4
has had a sharp dropoff as time has passed. When it first came out, I
think a lot of people were wooed by all the great fanservice, but as
they've had time to sit down and think about it, the flaws have become
more and more apparent. --- "Why must we always choose between certain death and probable death?" "I'm in an epic battle to the death, FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF!" |
LeonhartFour posted... It advanced past round 1, but it got rocked by CoD4 and finished dead last in round 2 behind Grand Theft Auto IV (with Brawl in the same poll, to be fair to Galaxy). Oh... Either way, it still stands that SMG always seems to disappoint relative to expectations.. --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |
Also, 1 > 3 > 2 > 4 looks about right for MGS. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
If
you view TP as being perceived as at least partly a Gamecube game, then
Brawl, which was the most hyped game of the century on this site, is
the only superstrong game from the Wii. Galaxy and Galaxy 2 being
strong, but not elite, makes sense in light of Skyward Sword's showings. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
Lopen posted... I think the funniest part about Melee vs Brawl discussions is that the Melee people like to pretend melee has so much more substance. Both games are empty fanservice! I'm pretty sure gameplay, particularly physics, is a key point in pro-Melee arguments I wanna see this physics fanservice! |
MGS3's
problem isn't so much people hating on it (though it does get that),
but that it came out late in the PS2's life cycle and a lot of people
didn't give it a chance after MGS2. People used to point to MGS2's sales
as an edge over MGS1, but never stopped to take into account that it
got those sales in large part because of how legendary Metal Gear Solid was. MGS3 had the drop off after a lot of people were turned off by MGS2. MGS has the primacy, the playrate, the near universal respect by the fanbase... I mean, heck, who likes any of the MGS games and simultaneously doesn't like either MGS or TTS? Do they even exist? --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
I
don't think Galaxy 2 would do as well as Galaxy 1, even. Anything that
came out post-Brawl on the Wii isn't going to be very strong, I think. --- http://www.gifsoup.com/view/593815/frasier-and-niles-dance-o.gif |

Yeah and I can claim I watch porn for the deep engaging plot too that doesn't mean there's any substance behind what I'm saying --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Man, this has to be a pretty bad fall from grace... To think Travis was worth 30% on Zelda once... --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |
