Doctor_Vodka posted... omg you are such a nerd This is a message board where we discuss video game popularity contests. Simply the act of posting anything here makes one a nerd. So shut up, nerd. --- Congratulation to the 2013 CB9 Guru winner, raytan! But hey, at least I'm #4! Current Let's Play: Knights of Pen and Paper (see quote) |
I think Pokemon is doing pretty fine here About 55% of GameFAQs will get the game at some point Of course,this number is alot bigger because more people that want to play Pokemon comes here to discuss the game/look for help,but it's still a better performance than BW and DP did |
look at Y pulling away from X! :lol |
I thought X would be more popular --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Congrats to raytan for winning the Guru Contest |
The Y Legendary is cooler --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png ##LongLiveraytan |
WhiteLens posted... Woohoo, won $25! Sounds similar to my inner battle with 2007's contest. Congrats! --- Victim #128 of the LEAGUE OF RAYTAN http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg |
charmander6000 posted... I thought X would be more popular Me too. Especially because the X board easily has more topics and posts than the Y board. There are plenty of people with Y who post on the X board just because it has more topics. But still, the X board is destroying the Y board in a major landslide as far as the number of topics and posts there. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Because X is first. No reason to post on two different boards for the same thing so one will get abandoned. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png ##LongLiveraytan |
pjbasis posted... Because X is first. Was one board getting abandoned for the other the case with other versions? --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |
Trend charts for yesterday's poll: https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=0AgBWiYjlMLwYdFdCYnJSeHhueW1uOVEtS3hGQTEwR1E&gid=3 Squirtle showed the same trends as Charmander and Bulbasaur - Weak board vote and Power Hour, below average night vote, good morning vote, average ASV, and excellent SNV. Totodile was all board vote and Power Hour. After the Power Hour ended, Totodile was pretty consistent for the rest of the poll. Mudkip started out terrible with the board vote, but managed to recover very nicely by the end of the Power Hour. Mudkip was pretty consistent after the Power Hour ended. Piplup with the strong board vote, though it dropped off a bit before the Power Hour ended. Piplup had a pretty good night vote and early morning vote. It sucked during the late morning vote, ASV, and SNV. Oshawott was all Power Hour and night vote, plus the ASV to a smaller extent. It performed worst during the early morning vote and SNV. Froakie performed best during the Power Hour and SNV. The SNV performance could be explained by the voters getting hyped up for the midnight release of X/Y. Froakie also did good during the night vote and early morning vote. It performed worst during the late morning vote and ASV. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Y holds on! |
Im sad we didn't get Bulba/Squirt/Char This could be a really,really good poll and immune to nostalgia Oh well Maybe in Character Battle X... |
I'm
surprised at how bad today's vote totals are. We're not even going to
reach 30000 votes on a poll that should be possible for everyone to vote
in. This poll is nothing like the Steam Controller poll where there
wasn't even an option for people who haven't seen the controller at all,
and it's still getting terrible vote totals. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
dat distribution --- Congratulation to the 2013 CB9 Guru winner, raytan! But hey, at least I'm #4! Current Let's Play: Knights of Pen and Paper (see quote) |
-LusterSoldier- posted... charmander6000 posted...I thought X would be more popular I don't even understand why there's always separate boards for the Pokemon versions. I get why the third versions like Yellow, Crystal, Platinum, etc. get separated, but it seems redundant to have different listings for X and Y. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! I may be the greatone, but raytan is a greatguru. |
Yeah
that was the same thing from the 1st Generation and this site STILL
does it. Seriously. The ONLY differences are the availability of some
Pokemon. That is. No reason to have seperate boards! Also is that a
record on topics on Pokemon board? It has over 1300 pages and it is out
less than a week and Skyrim which is almost 2 years old has around
2860(on 360 board). --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
Why are
there separate boards for X and Y anyway? The games are the same with
different Pokemon rosters. It doesn't make sense to have two. Though it would be funny if fans picked their version and then they had gang fights ala West Side Story. --- "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima raytan: Champ without picking the champ |
Fayt_Esteed posted... pjbasis posted...Because X is first. It was the case with B/W at least. It's generally settled well before the games release. I don't know for the others; they eventually migrated to the Crystal/Emerald/Platinum boards. --- "Hamas isn't really a terror organization." -Terran [Evil Republican] Play Der Langrisser. |

I
blame all of the recent Pokemon polls lately, as it might have turned
off some people from voting because they assumed we would continue
getting more polls related to Pokemon. Although these last 2 polls (and
today's poll) are getting even worse vote totals than the Pokemon
polls, so that theory probably isn't even valid at all. Another guess is that a lot of people are too busy playing Pokemon X/Y to bother with voting in the poll. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Poor Rock is getting LFFed by Rock. --- Congratulation to the 2013 CB9 Guru winner, raytan! But hey, at least I'm #4! Current Let's Play: Knights of Pen and Paper (see quote) |
I
wonder how many of the Rock votes are because of the Simpsons. I know I
only voted the first one because I love that quote, even though I
actually switch it up. --- I may be the number 2 Expert for CB9, but I'm no match for Raytan, the number 1 Guru |
Previous Rock, Paper, Scissors had 103819 votes. This is depressing. --- http://i.imgur.com/VC363.gif http://anilist.co/animelist/2694/bks00 http://myanimelist.net/profile/bks00 |
Today's
poll had 3141 votes at the end of the first hour, so we're looking at
somewhere between 30000 and 33000 votes in today's poll. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
This poll has a typo too.Nice. --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
I
didn't even notice the typo. But you're right, there is a typo. The
same typo also exists in the same poll that happened back in 2009. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Oh im quite hyped for the GOTY polls There are about 70 days till...it's going to be interesting to see how Pokemon will do It's the strongest Nintendo representive this year and it's pretty weak year for Nintendo,aside from Pokemon Also GTA V,TLOU and the new CoD will pretty much LFF each other I expect a stomping |
Phoenix vs. Sonic vs. Vincent - legit match with normal pictures. Predict the percentages. --- raytan stole my sig 'cause he's awesome at predicting GameFAQs contests! Grrrrrrr, I will get my revenge! |
Nanis23 posted... Also GTA V,TLOU and the new CoD will pretty much LFF each other The new CoD won't even come close to threatening GTA V, TLoU, and Pokemon. And despite Assassin's Creed being a yearly thing now, I'd definitely pick this year's AC over CoD. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Haste_2 posted... Phoenix vs. Sonic vs. Vincent - legit match with normal pictures. Predict the percentages. Assuming low votals: Phoenix - 30.33% Sonic - 37.45% Vincent - 32.22% --- "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima raytan: Champ without picking the champ |
Phoenix - 29% Sonic - 41% Vincent - 30% I'd be tempted to still take Phoenix over Vincent! ....well, not 1 vs. 1, of course. --- raytan stole my sig 'cause he's awesome at predicting GameFAQs contests! Grrrrrrr, I will get my revenge! |
A lot of people are awesome at whistling. --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
I
just realized that we could've literally seen Master Chief vs Gordon
Freeman if Chief and Leon switched places in the bracket. I think most
of us would've liked that more anyway. --- Play Pac-Man World 2. |
The
number of online users has been higher than normal. We've been getting
over 5000 online users lately. I have to blame this on Pokemon X/Y
increasing the number of online users, as people are coming to the site
to ask for help on the game. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Now im sad the contest wasn't pushed a month later Not like Mewtwo could beat Draven even on XY release date,but it could have been interesting |
swirIdude posted... Why are there separate boards for X and Y anyway? The games are the same with different Pokemon rosters. It doesn't make sense to have two. Probably because our admins don't feel like coming up with a way to merge them. But if you think that's bad, they are separate boards (and game pages) for DLC Seriously just search Fire Emblem: Awakening: http://www.gamefaqs.com/search/index.html?game=fire+emblem%3A+awakening That's absurd! --- http://www.backloggery.com/whitelens http://myanimelist.net/profile/WhiteLens |
I
think SBAllen should fix that.Nobody will go to a DLC page to ask
questions about that DLC.He will ask questions in the main page!I hope
they fix that. --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
WhiteLens posted... swirIdude posted...Why are there separate boards for X and Y anyway? The games are the same with different Pokemon rosters. It doesn't make sense to have two. Hahahaha WHAT THE HELL I thought that having two boards for the same game but different version is bad enough,but this? this is just stupid Pokemon games should be combined Same goes for Megaman Battle Network games DLC should also be included as part of the main game (Say,Bioshock 2 Minerva Den shouldn't have it's own board) I think it's only debateable in the case of GTA IV Episodes from Liberty City (The Lost and the Damned and The Ballade of Gay Tony) because they are stand-alone games..although they are not as big as GTA IV itself But really having a board for each DLC that each DLC is just one chapter? this is nuts I wonder why Pokemon Conquest doesn't have 8 boards for it too |
Well, it's been a month now. How was GTA V? How would you personally say it stacks up against prior games in the series? Assuming a late-2014/2015 contest with 128 characters: How many of GTAV's characters would you expect to see make it in? How strong do you think they would be? Could any of them beat Isaac? (vitally important) --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO raytan NO PEACE] |

-LusterSoldier- posted... Nanis23 posted...Also GTA V,TLOU and the new CoD will pretty much LFF each other well either way, TLoU is gonna LFF the hell out of whatever GTA V is even holding to begin with |
Holy
s***, today's poll has extremely bad vote totals. This poll won't even
reach 30000 votes. This seems like a poll that would bring in more
votes than usual because everyone hates the Xbox One and want to make
their voice heard in a poll like this. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
for an RPG loving site with old userbase, I am surprised how many have not played Xenogears --- ... |
Poor Xenogears. Or more like poor people who have never experienced one of the greatest games ever made. --- David Hayter Seriously, Who in the hell is "Draven?" (Sounds like a draggy crow.) |
AxemRedRanger posted... Well, it's been a month now. GTA5 is great. There are a few crap missions and stupid stuff (Yoga, seriously? This could have been way better - think Gitaroo Man). Trevor would make it into a character contest and he would be the strongest GTA character by far. He'd do really well I think. --- David Hayter Seriously, Who in the hell is "Draven?" (Sounds like a draggy crow.) |
Nanis23 posted... WhiteLens posted...swirIdude posted...Why are there separate boards for X and Y anyway? The games are the same with different Pokemon rosters. It doesn't make sense to have two. I tried bringing this up awhile back and people thought my idea was dumb. All that's happening is discussion is being split. --- David Hayter Seriously, Who in the hell is "Draven?" (Sounds like a draggy crow.) |
15 years later: Have you ever played Xenogears? Yes, I've played through and beaten it multiple times 7.42% 277 Yes, I played and finished the game once 8.41% 314 Yes, I started it, but never actually finished the game 18.08% 675 No, I've heard of it, but never actually played it 55.72% 2080 No, I'd never even heard of this game before today 10.37% 387 TOTAL VOTES 3733 The game that hung 58% on Pokemon, ladies and gents! --- board8.wikia.com | thengamer.com/xstats Whoops, accidentally interviewed Zen instead of raytan on The Show, but congrats! |
I
was pretty sure we'd had a Xenogears poll relatively recently, so I
checked. Sure enough, we had a very similar poll on February 11, 2013: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/4992 Its total playrate at the moment is actually higher now than it was 8 months ago; the day vote might bring it back down though. Also maybe the reason the last option is doing so much worse this time is that people remembered the game from the previous poll! And Xenogears has probably had one of the worst declines on the entire site from back in the day. (Probably all PS1 RPGs without a huge name attached really, but even those that have Final Fantasy or Chrono in the name are suffering.) http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll?search=Xenogears Even leaving aside those ancient favorite Squaresoft game polls where it beat FFT three times, 20% against FFVII in an SFF match is pretty good. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO raytan NO PEACE] |
random thing popped up in my head, 2014 contest is game of the generation. And also, if I very frequently get lost in the Tanker in MGS2, should I bother playing ahead? Or should I download video walkthroughs and play the game simultaneously or something else? --- Posting from The Other World |
AxemRedRanger posted... I was pretty sure we'd had a Xenogears poll relatively recently, so I checked. Sure enough, we had a very similar poll on February 11, 2013: I'm honestly surprised Fei can get in these contests and do decently, myself. --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance!
