charmander6000 posted... Having just recently purchased a 3DS and Fire Emblem: Awakening I'm genuinely shocked Tharja's one of the most popular characters from the game. She isn't just an ancillary character, she's also incredibly annoying. Also, I feel they're FF6 lite in that the ensemble cast makes it hard for the fanbase to get behind anyone, and thus they do poorly (strictly speaking, I'm referring to characters who don't have much relevance to the story). --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul!

The
Xbox One has a chance at beating the PS3's launch day ownership if the
Xbox One continues rising throughout the rest of this poll. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Wow,
today's poll got under 300 votes at the freeze. And for reference, the
poll that did not have the "None of them" option received 302 votes at
the freeze. Today's poll has some really terrible vote totals, but we
also got terrible vote totals with this same poll for the PS4. Xbox One finished with 4.50% ownership on launch day. This is better than the PS3's launch day GameFAQs. I just updated my ownership spreadsheet: https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=0AgBWiYjlMLwYdDZFV2I1SFl4VXFDMjQ2RmJqUXJTd0E --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Well
the PS3 was sold for 599 US DOLLARS so about 33% voted "I don't have
the money" which I would say...50% of them mean "I would,if it were
cheaper" |
Nanis23 posted... Are you keeping track on the updates? Here are the hourly trends for yesterday's poll: 1:00 | 2.59% | 2.93% | 0.37% | 2.65% | 91.46% 2:00 | 3.90% | 3.20% | 0.66% | 2.82% | 89.42% 3:00 | 4.86% | 2.60% | 0.52% | 2.89% | 89.12% 4:00 | 4.46% | 3.81% | 0.93% | 2.16% | 88.64% 5:00 | 5.07% | 2.62% | 0.44% | 2.27% | 89.59% 6:00 | 4.62% | 3.30% | 0.66% | 2.45% | 88.97% 7:00 | 2.91% | 3.45% | 0.38% | 2.38% | 90.88% 8:00 | 3.39% | 2.48% | 0.26% | 3.13% | 90.74% 9:00 | 3.53% | 3.29% | 0.54% | 2.75% | 89.89% 10:00 | 3.26% | 3.09% | 0.56% | 3.48% | 89.61% 11:00 | 3.72% | 3.08% | 0.42% | 3.08% | 89.70% 12:00 | 4.32% | 2.65% | 0.55% | 2.96% | 89.52% 13:00 | 4.05% | 2.19% | 0.33% | 2.59% | 90.84% 14:00 | 5.68% | 2.26% | 0.48% | 3.35% | 88.23% 15:00 | 5.54% | 1.68% | 0.21% | 4.00% | 88.57% 16:00 | 6.07% | 1.59% | 0.15% | 2.73% | 89.45% 17:00 | 4.44% | 1.28% | 0.30% | 4.07% | 89.91% 18:00 | 6.21% | 0.47% | 0.70% | 3.10% | 89.53% 19:00 | 5.66% | 0.83% | 0.08% | 3.91% | 89.52% 20:00 | 6.27% | 0.64% | 0.18% | 3.72% | 89.19% 21:00 | 5.75% | 0.20% | 0.30% | 3.94% | 89.81% 22:00 | 5.71% | 0.57% | 0.10% | 3.71% | 89.90% 23:00 | 6.18% | 0.87% | 0.33% | 3.47% | 89.15% 24:00 | 6.74% | 0.52% | 0.26% | 2.98% | 89.51% The last option was very stable throughout the entire day, even during the late night vote and early morning vote where Microsoft isn't as strong in Europe compared to the US. The first option dominated the ASV on the strength of the US and Canada. The second option (Not yet, I'm waiting for it to be delivered) performed best during the first 12 hours before utterly collapsing in the second half of the poll. The third option did slightly worse in the second half compared to the first half. The fourth option did slightly better in the second half compared to the first half. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Bump --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
Hm...
I was thinking about x-stats recently, and I realized that we finally
are able to nail an x-stat for some characters from the villiains
contest. New x-stats against 2010 Link: Epona - 27.34% Ike - 24.81% Proto Man - 24.62% (taken from 2010 x-stats) Eggman - 22.18% Mordin Solus - 21.72% Fin Sin - 20.71% Master Hand - 17.97% Kuja - 16.61% Niko Bellic - 16.31% Eggman > Tails? Sin ends up as borderline fodder, and Master Hand shows it can probably beat a handful of the weaker Nintendo characters. --- raytan stole my sig 'cause he's awesome at predicting GameFAQs contests! Grrrrrrr, I will get my revenge! |
Master Hand > washed-up protagonist of a hated game makes sense. --- Play Pac-Man World 2. |
I believe Kuja and Sigma deserves another chance I believe they will do far better nowdays |
I
do think it would be cool to see Kuja and Master Hand in another
contest again. Zidane has definitely improved quite a bit from his
first contest in 2005, so it's only fair to give Kuja another shot
again. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Nanis23 posted... I believe Kuja and Sigma deserves another chance I'd agree on that. Also, what about Dr. Wily? And why did Sigma do so poorly? I mean, sure, Bowser was on steroids in 2005, but still, a quadrupling leaves some questions to ponder. I do think it would be cool to see Kuja and Master Hand in another contest again. Zidane has definitely improved quite a bit from his first contest in 2005, so it's only fair to give Kuja another shot again. Yeah. I'd assume Kuja wouldn't suck as badly as he did back in 2005. --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |

I will be tracking poll updates for this poll, because I expect some extreme trends today. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Polls for the next several days: 11/29/2013 - Got PS4? 11/30/2013 - Do you subscribe to either premium online console service? 12/1/2013 - I don't know. Probably an original poll idea. 12/2/2013 - What type of game was the last game you played? 12/3/2013 - Have you ever bought more than one copy or subscription to the same game for yourself? Anyways, I'm still working on doing trend charts for yesterday's poll, so they aren't ready to be posted yet. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Trend charts and poll updates for yesterday's poll: https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=0AgBWiYjlMLwYdFRtLXhCcXF4VVktX1QtQ1dkTWxla3c&gid=1 "Yes, I'll be going out" started out with a strong board vote and Power Hour. It also held up very well during the first hour of the night vote. But after the first hour of the night vote, it collapsed as we headed deeper into the night vote. It performed slightly better when the morning vote kicked in, though it took until 11:00 AM before it started pulling in more hours above 10%. It got above 10% of the votes for the last 11 hours of the poll. The SNV was the best time period for "Yes, I'll be going out" since all the Europeans went to sleep. "Yes, I'll be shopping online" had very similar trends to "Yes, I'll be going out" - Excellent board vote and Power Hour, terrible night vote and early morning vote, average late morning vote, above average ASV, and excellent SNV. "No, I won't be buying anything online" had an extremely strong board vote, though it dropped about 5% over the rest of the Power Hour. Overall, the Power Hour was still very good. It started to drop off when the night vote started and continued to collapse as we got deeper into the night vote. It performed worst during the TDZ and the first hour of the morning vote. It started to recover from its terrible night vote after 7:00 AM. Overall, it had a very average late morning vote. The ASV was very good, but the SNV was even better than the ASV. "No, I won't be buying anything online" performed best during the final hour of the poll after all the Europeans went to sleep. "No, I won't be buying anything online" dropped all the way down to 36.32% at 8:40 AM before it finally stopped the bleeding. It ended up gaining 2.75% from 8:40 AM until the poll finally ended. "No, we don't have Black Friday" had a terrible board vote and Power Hour, but it did its best work during the night vote and early morning vote. It dropped off hard when the morning vote kicked in and remained fairly stable from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. After 6:00 PM, it started dropping off even more when the Europeans finally started going to sleep. During this poll, "No, I won't be buying anything online" managed to build up a maximum lead of 1280 over "No, we don't have Black Friday" before it won its first update against "No, I won't be buying anything online". The first cut happened at 3:10 AM and "No, we don't have Black Friday" managed to cut a total of 265 votes off that lead to get the lead down to 1015 at 7:15 AM. After 7:15 AM, the lead started going back up again. "No, we don't have Black Friday" did not win a single update after 7:50 AM. "No, we don't have Black Friday" reached a maximum percentage of 25.80% at 7:55 AM. It lost a total of 3.84% from 7:55 AM until the poll ended. "I'm not sure what Black Friday means" performed worst during the board vote and Power Hour, but performed best during the night vote and early morning vote. It reached a maximum percentage of 10.11% at 9:45 AM and then lost 0.74% after that point in time. It had a fairly average late morning vote, but it dropped off during the ASV and did even worse during the SNV. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
There
were 3 lead changes during this poll. At one point, "Yes, I'll be
going out" had a lead of 234 over "I'm not sure what Black Friday means"
at 2:10 AM. It took until 6:45 AM for "I'm not sure what Black Friday
means" to take the lead over "Yes, I'll be going out". With "I'm not sure what Black Friday means" in the lead, it then built up a lead of 97 at 1:20 AM. It took until 6:35 PM for "Yes, I'll be going out" to reclaim the lead over "I'm not sure what Black Friday means". Finally, "Yes, I'll be shopping online" built up a lead of 198 over "I'm not sure what Black Friday means" at 1:25 PM. The lead change happened at 3:50 AM and "I'm not sure what Black Friday means" maintained the lead over "Yes, I'll be shopping online" for the rest of the poll. However, "I'm not sure what Black Friday means" reached a maximum lead of 983 over "Yes, I'll be shopping online" at 5:20 PM. Over the last 6 1/2 hours, "Yes, I'll be shopping online" made an attempt at the comeback with the Europeans going to sleep, but only managed to cut 367 votes off the lead to get the lead down to 616. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Wow,
huge drop-off in Xbox Live Gold ownership. However, all of that came
at the expense of PlayStation Plus. I guess the users on this site
realize they won't be able to afford both Xbox Live Gold and PlayStation
Plus, so they're jumping ship to support the premium membership of
their favorite system. And with the PS3 being more popular than Xbox
360 now, that means more PSN memberships now. Not to mention that PSN
provides a better deal and it's cheaper than Xbox Live Gold. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
In
the PS4 ownership poll from 2 days ago, PS4 ownership has increased to
13.96%. With that poll, I updated this spreadsheet again: https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=0AgBWiYjlMLwYdDZFV2I1SFl4VXFDMjQ2RmJqUXJTd0E --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
It's pretty funny that the Xbox is leading over the PS4 in today's poll It means that either- 1.The failure rate of the Xbox One is MUUUUUUCH higher than the PS4 2.People hate the Xbox One so much that they vote for this option just to show it's unstable (sorry guys I know I did it) |
At this rate, around a third or so of Xbone owners on this site will have returned a faulty console. That seems a bit off. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy VI: Brave New World http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3577467 Prev: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |

We're
only a month away from the start of the GotY polls and it's going to
suck seeing most of them getting under 20000 votes. Our average vote
totals in the entire month of November was a pathetic 32469 votes. And
for comparison, November 2012 averaged 40765 votes per day. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
I don't see Allen doing too much to revive this site I guess at least about 100k hits is fine for him for now but this site is clearly dying |

Did Allen ever say what he planned to do to make more people visit the homepage? --- GT: wgt07 Metroid Prime, Super Meat Boy speed runs: http://www.youtube.com/user/wgtan01 |
From
what he said, it sounds like he's going to revamp the homepage and add
more content to the homepage to attract more visitors there. He is
against the idea of displaying the poll on every page of the site. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Someone linked to this contest a few weeks ago and it's on its final round now: http://gaming.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Pseudobread/Ultimate_Console_Showdown_-_Round_5 The finals poll only opened earlier today and the creator seems to have forgotten to note this at the Round 4 poll so the votals are awful so far. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO raytan NO PEACE] |
I
see that Bacon has already started making changes to the homepage in
his grand plan to get more visitors to check out the homepage and boost
vote totals. Yesterday, "Featured GameFAQs Video" was removed from the homepage and replaced with "The Latest from Giant Bomb". However, the "The Latest from Giant Bomb" section was placed below "GameSpot News Headlines". A very interesting change, since it's the first time since CBSi acquired Giant Bomb that GameFAQs now has content on the homepage related to Giant Bomb. But this new addition alone won't have much of an impact on vote totals. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Who cares about the homepage,it's a lie made by Allen to cover the fact there are less people visiting this site in general There are a lot less submissions than a few years ago even for popular games such as GTA V and Pokemon Wikis and Youtube are the best source of video game information nowadays so why bother reading ugly text documents when I can browse a wiki with pictures Or read a walkthrough when I can watch a playthrough This site needs to do more than a new skin,it needs a total new layout and start making videoes a common thing |
Video
Walkthroughs is a very new feature on GameFAQs that was introduced
earlier this year. However, it's still very much in its infancy, with
very few Video Walkthroughs currently available on the site. Another
problem is that there's only a very limited number of contributors with
the capability to produce Video Walkthroughs. Also, I just commented on this topic earlier: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/2000094-faq-contributors-general/67907018 Bacon proposed 2 different layout options for regular text FAQs. I voted for the option that would be more likely to have an overall impact on vote totals. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |

have a hard time thinking this result is legit outside of the possible
chance that "The Last of Us" wins GotY here. No way does Super Mario 3D

I
know Mario is benefiting from being the only Nintendo game but this
performance is still really freaking good (or just bad by the other
games) Zelda or Pokemon would be destroying this poll. I really think
that whichever of those 2 wins the 3ds poll wins goty this year. --- 9/2/13-The Hero of GameFAQs fought bravely but fell to an unrelenting horde supported by a corrupt tyranny. R.I.P. Hero of Time, 7 time CB Champion, Link |
Not_Wylvane posted... Honestly, a Pokemon win wouldn't surprise me if it got a good rally. Of course, it'd have to beat Zelda in the handheld poll first. If Bacon sticks with the same format he used last year, we won't be having any polls for specific systems. Our last batch of GotY polls were based on genre instead of systems. This means Zelda will never come in contact with Pokemon before the overall GotY poll. But that could also backfire on Pokemon because it will have to deal with a Zelda game in the overall GotY. Azp2k32 posted... Bioshock in 4th? Huh. Guess it could partially be the whole released-early-in-the-year effect, as well as some backlash over the ending. Yeah, the early-in-the-year effect is definitely a real thing when it comes to the GameFAQs GotY polls. But it could also be a case of developers holding back many of their biggest games for a release near the end of the year. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
