I added a ton of results to this page: http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Have_You_Played I counted playing the Minecraft demo as having played Minecraft. Never played either myself so dunno whether that's reasonable. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO raytan NO PEACE] |

A
new GameFAQs poll was put up at 2:04 PM EST today, so we had a 14 hour,
4 minute poll today. The second poll today will run for 9 hours, 56
minutes. Poll updates and trend charts for the first poll will be posted soon. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Poll updates and trend charts for today's night poll: https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=0AgBWiYjlMLwYdElCb0xIdUY5X1JYWUpPVTE1WjlzbGc&gid=1 "All four of them live" started out with a good board vote and Power Hour. It had a fairly average night vote, but then began to drop off during the early part of the morning vote. But then, it started going back up again during the later part of the morning vote before E3 started. And as you would expect, it performed worst during Microsoft's press conference. "All four of them, but not live" started out terrible with the board vote, but managed to recover very nicely during the rest of the Power Hour. It performed even better during the night vote than the Power Hour. It had a fairly average morning vote. And just like the first option, "All four of them, but not live" started dropping off when Microsoft's press conference started. "Two or three, including EA/Ubisoft" started out terrible with the board vote, but recovered very nicely to perform best during the Power Hour overall. After the Power Hour, it maintained consistent trends for the rest of the poll prior to Microsoft's press conference. It also dropped off when Microsoft's press conference started. "Just Sony and Microsoft" had the most consistent trends overall, even when considering the E3 Press Conference Factor. It dropped off slightly during Microsoft's press conference, but even the 1:00-2:00 PM hour wasn't the worst hour overall (6:00-7:00 AM was the worst overall hour). "Just one, that's all I'm interested in" performed best during the board vote and Power Hour. It performed worst during the night vote and morning vote. This option was completely unaffected by Microsoft's press conference, probably because of these voters weren't even interested in Microsoft's press conference to begin with. "Only the Nintendo presentation" had a very strong board vote and dropped off sharply after the board vote ended. Even then, it still had a very good Power Hour overall. It performed worst during the deep night vote and early morning vote. It performed better than average during the late morning vote and during Microsoft's press conference. "None at all" performed worst during the board vote and Power Hour. It performed worse than average during the early part of the night vote. It wasn't until the deep night vote (starting at 4:00 AM) that "None at all" started to dominate this poll. It performed best during the deep night vote and early morning vote. It began dropping off during the late morning vote as people were getting ready for the first press conference. And as you would expect, "None at all" performed extremely well during the Microsoft press conference. Because this poll closed at 2:04 PM EST, just shortly after Microsoft's press conference ended, we don't know how the trends would have played out with a full 24 hours. I assume "None at all" would begin to lose percentage again. During the press conferences for EA and Ubisoft, I would expect a small increase for "None at all" while both of them are going on. "Two or three, including EA/Ubisoft" would probably drop off during the press conferences for EA and Ubisoft and then go back up after each conference ended. "None at all" of course would go back up in percentage again during Sony's press conference and drop off after it ends. This poll finished with 15801 votes in a 14 hour, 4 minute poll. The vote totals were quite awful, and this poll was on track for about 25000 votes in a full 24 hour poll. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Got the second-to-last list in DDJ's top 100 games project. http://www.ddjgames.com/top-100-games-of-all-time-according-to-gamefaqs-20-to-11/ http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/1642 Only took a decade for justice to be served! And that also lets us know the top 10, though not their order. LoZ: OoT FFVII CT LoZ: LttP Mario 3 SSBM FFVI FFX MGS3 LoZ: MM So the top 6 and the 10th from the 2005 list are still in the top 10. FFX was already very close last time at 12th and succeeded this time. MGS3 replaced MGS1, though the latter is still at a respectable-ish 19th. Halo and Goldeneye dropped off the face of the earth. And rounding out the new top 10 is our beloved Game of the Decade, which had the largest jump in placement of any of the games that appeared on both lists. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO raytan NO PEACE] |
The
second poll of today was closed at 10:52 PM EST and a new poll was put
up immediately after Sony's press conference. This really caught me by
surprise because Bacon waited until 12:00 AM EST last year to put up the
poll for Sony's press conference. Because there is no reason to run a
poll for slightly over 1 hour before switching over to a new poll, it is
safe to assume this poll will continue to run past 12:00 AM EST. As a result, this has resulted in a 14 hour, 4 minute poll and an 8 hour, 48 minute poll in the same day. The 8 hour, 48 minute poll just barely reached 10000 votes before it was closed. Poll updates and trend charts will be posted later. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Poll updates and trend charts for the previous poll: https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=0AgBWiYjlMLwYdDF2SFI5WHNJNy02ZVM2SzlQeHAzalE&gid=1 Because the poll started at 2:04 PM EST, I had to make some slight changes as to how I will deal with trend charts. The board vote works the same way as it always does - first 5 minutes of the poll. Because the Power Hour overlaps with the start of the ASV, I decided to have the Power Hour end at 3:00 PM, while the ASV starts at 3:00 PM instead of 2:30 PM. So the ASV starts 30 minutes later than usual. The ASV still comes to a close at its normal time of 10:00 PM, although this poll will only have 52 minutes of SNV trends. The vote totals on this poll were quite awful just like the first poll of yesterday. We barely broke 10000 votes before it was closed at 10:52 PM EST. Even if this poll was allowed to run all the way until 12:00 AM before closing, we weren't going to end up with more than 11500 votes at best. This was only an 8 hour, 48 minute poll, so predicting what we would have gotten in a full 24 hour poll is somewhat difficult. Just like with our first poll from yesterday, I predict that this poll would also have finished with around 25000 votes in a full 24 hour poll. The hourly vote totals were also very wacky here. The EA and Ubisoft press conferences had a noticeable impact on the voting trends, as vote totals dropped off hard during the 2 hours with the EA and Ubisoft press conferences. Then there is a spike in vote totals during the hour after both of those press conferences. The EA and Ubisoft press conferences had less of an impact than Microsoft or Sony. The impact of EA and Ubisoft was more easily visible in a poll that only ran for 8 hours, 48 minutes. In a full 24 hour poll, we probably wouldn't have noticed any impact on the hourly vote totals. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
As for the trends: "A - They nailed it this year" had an average board vote and Power Hour. It began dropping off after the Power Hour and remained fairly stable throughout the day prior to Sony's press conference. It performed worst during the hour before the start of Sony's press conference. As you would probably expect, it performed best during Sony's press conference since the Xbox fanboys are more likely to be voting in the poll during Sony's press conference because of 2 reasons - Xbox fanboys having no interest in Sony's press conference, plus the Sony fanboys not voting during Sony's press conference. "B - Good job, the games look great" had a very strong board vote and Power Hour, but dropped off very significantly after the Power Hour ended. It performed worst during the EA, Ubisoft, and Sony press conferences, which is kind of odd because you would expect this option to perform very well during Sony's press conference for the same reason why "A - They nailed it this year" performed best during Sony's press conference. "C - Meh, not terrible" had very inconsistent trends here. It performed best during Ubisoft's press conference and during the hour after EA's press conference, along performing worst during Sony's press conference. "D - Not good at all" had the most consistent trends here. "F - Terrible, the Xbox One is doomed" performed worst during the board vote and Power Hour, probably as a result of the early voters all rushing into this site during the aftermath of the Microsoft press conference. After that Power Hour, it was pretty much gaining percentage for the rest of the poll. It performed best during the EA, Ubisoft, and Sony press conferences. It is strange that it performed best during Sony's press conference because you would expect it to perform worst during Sony's press conference for the same reason why "A - They nailed it this year" performed best during Sony's press conference. I have no idea how to explain this one. Because this poll closed at 10:52 PM EST, I have no idea how the trends would have played out if this poll continued to run until 12:00 AM EST. I assume "F - Terrible, the Xbox One is doomed" would have continued to gain percentage for the last 1 hour, 8 minutes of the poll. Unlike last year, it is quite surprising that "F - Terrible, the Xbox One is doomed" actually gained percentage for the entire poll. For comparison, "F - Terrible, the Xbox One is doomed" had 10.64% at the start of the 3:00 PM hour and gained another 3.37% over the rest of this poll. In last year's poll, "F - Just awful" had 23.32% at the start of the 3:00 PM hour and gained another 4.59% over the rest of the poll. In last year's poll for Microsoft's press conference, the idea of "F - Just awful" gaining percentage for the rest of the poll actually made sense because right after Microsoft's press conference ended, a lot of bad news started to trickle out regarding the Xbox One DRM restrictions (used games, Always-Online) and that could have forced "F - Just awful" to gain percentage for the rest of the poll. Of course, this percentage gain was heavily fueled by Sony's megaton hammer later that night when they announced PS4 would have no restrictions. This caused "F - Just awful" to gain about 1.70% just in the last 80 minutes of the poll alone, which is a very rapid increase in percentage. Not even North America in the continent poll comes remotely close to that kind of percentage gain over the course of the same time period. But in this year's poll, "F - Terrible, the Xbox One is doomed" gaining percentage for the rest of the poll doesn't make any sense. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Poll updates and trend charts for today's night poll: https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=0AgBWiYjlMLwYdHpPVTE5ek9sNDJ5RGRBVXhMeHJhanc&gid=1 This poll started at 10:52 PM EST last night and ended at 12:49 PM EST today. Overall, this poll ran for a total of 13 hours, 57 minutes. Rather than wait until 12:00 AM to start this poll, Bacon decided to put it up before then. But as I expected, this poll did not close at 12:00 AM because there isn't any reason to run a poll for just 1 hour, 8 minutes. This poll is very unorthodox for being one of the few polls that did not start at 12:00 AM EST or end at 12:00 AM EST. This applies to just 3 polls since the start of 2010. The previous 2 times this happened, it was caused by a poll glitch instead. Because of the unusual starting time, I had to make slight changes as to how I did the trend charts. Board vote works the same way as it always does. The Power Hour runs from 10:52 PM to 12:00 AM. As a result of this, the FNV runs from 12:00 AM to 6:00 AM. So we get one extra hour of FNV trends. BSV runs from 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM and the DSV runs from 9:00 AM to 12:49 PM (when the poll closed). As for the vote totals here, it's difficult to say how many votes this would have gotten in a full 24 hour poll. After 12 hours into the poll (at 10:52 AM), we were currently at 12546 votes. In a normal 12 hour night poll that starts at 12:00 AM, that would put us on track for about 20000 votes. But the unusual starting time of 10:52 PM means that a lot of potential voters had no idea this poll went up on the homepage and never got a chance to vote. This would hurt the vote totals on this poll. In a normal 24 hour poll, I estimate this poll would have gotten about 25000 votes, which is the same estimate for both polls we had yesterday. As for the trends in this poll: "A - Outstanding" performed best during the board vote and Power Hour. It dropped off after the Power Hour and performed worst during the night vote and early morning vote. It performed slightly better during the late morning vote, but it still doesn't compare to the Power Hour. "B - Pretty good" performed worst during the board vote and Power Hour. It slowly gained strength as this poll dragged on. The night vote was pretty good, but the morning vote was even better than that. "C - Could have been better" performed worst during the board vote and Power Hour. It did better during the night vote, but the early morning vote was its best time period. It dropped off somewhat during the late morning vote, although it was still better than the Power Hour. "D - Pretty bad" performed best during the board vote and Power Hour, which is very strange because it performed best during the same time period that "A - Outstanding" performed best. It dropped off during the night vote and performed worst during both morning votes. "F - Awful" performed worst during the board vote and Power Hour. It performed best during the night vote and late morning vote. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
So,
because of Bacon's unusual approach to running the E3 conference polls
(where we get 2 polls per day for the last 2 days), we have a poll
glitch which has caused Sony's press conference poll to be put back up
on the site at 12:00 AM EST today. Because of this, I will continue
tracking poll updates for Sony's press conference poll and post updated
trend charts once Bacon closes this poll. I also discovered the previous poll (Nintendo's E3 Digital Event poll) did not close at 12:00 AM EST, so we have 3 polls right now that are currently accepting more votes. Only one of those polls is currently on the homepage. When I do my trend charts for Nintendo's E3 Digital Event poll, any votes that were submitted after 12:00 AM EST will be counted towards the 12:00 AM update. Less than 10 votes have been submitted in the Nintendo's E3 Digital Event poll after the new poll should have gone up at 12:00 AM EST, so it's not a huge issue for the poll updates on that specific poll. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Sony's
press conference poll was closed at 1:56 AM after the poll reappeared
on the homepage for a second go-around. During the first go-around of
this poll, the poll ran from 10:52 PM EST on June 9th and ended at 12:49
PM on June 10th. Overall, the poll ran for a total of 15 hours, 53
minutes. I updated the trend charts and poll updates here: https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=0AgBWiYjlMLwYdHpPVTE5ek9sNDJ5RGRBVXhMeHJhanc&gid=1 On the hourly trend chart, I jumped from the 12:00-1:00 PM hour to the 12:00-1:00 AM hour when doing the hourly trend chart. This poll is also very unique because it has an FNV and SNV, but no ASV. Since the poll was closed during the entire ASV time period. When the poll was reopened, the final 1 hour, 56 minutes of the poll was counted towards the SNV. Something I didn't mention when I first posted trend charts for this poll: When this poll started at 10:52 PM on June 9th, the vote totals for the board vote were unusually high. Despite the poll starting at a very unorthodox time when you normally would not expect a new poll to start, the poll managed to get 523 votes before the freeze kicked in. Those were some very impressive vote totals for the board vote considering there have been very few polls this year to reach 500 votes during the board vote. Over 95% of the polls this year have gotten less than 500 votes during the board vote. As for the trends: "A - Outstanding" performed worst during the SNV. I assume this happened because the SNV voters already saw what Microsoft and Nintendo showed off, so they were able to form their own opinion about the overall quality of Sony's press conference compared to what Microsoft and Nintendo showed off. As a result, they were probably less likely to think Sony had an amazing press conference after how well Nintendo handled E3 this year. "B - Pretty good" also dropped off during the SNV (compared to the morning vote), for the same reason as "A - Outstanding". "C - Could have been better" performed best during the SNV, even better than its FNV and BSV. "D - Pretty bad" also had a strong SNV, with the SNV being its second best time period after the Power Hour. "F - Awful" performed worst during the SNV. By this point in the poll, the SNV voters already knew what happened with Microsoft and Nintendo and were more likely to think Sony had a bad E3 based on what they saw from Microsoft and Nintendo. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Poll updates and trend charts for Nintendo's E3 Digital Event poll: https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AgBWiYjlMLwYdHpKN1JTZ0Jyd1ZlaGlkV3BMb1dZZGc&gid=1 This poll started at 12:49 PM EST on June 10th and ended at 1:56 AM on June 11th. Despite the fact this poll did not automatically close at 12:00 AM, I am treating this as an 11 hour, 11 minute poll because there were only 12 votes submitted in this poll after 12:00 AM. This is because the poll disappeared from the homepage at 12:00 AM without closing automatically. The 12 votes that were submitted after 12:00 AM will be counted towards the 12:00 AM update. In reality, the poll technically ran for a total of 13 hours, 7 minutes. Unlike the previous 3 polls before Nintendo's E3 Digital Event poll, this poll is projected to do around 28000 votes in a normal 24 hour poll. Which is a definite improvement over the estimated 25000 votes for all 3 polls before this one. When doing the trend charts, the first 5 minutes were set aside for the board vote, as usual. The Power Hour ends at 2:00 PM. With the Power Hour ending at 2:00 PM, I had to decide what I should do regarding the DSV/ASV. Do I get rid of the DSV for this poll and have the ASV start at 2:00 PM, or have a 30 minute DSV before starting up the ASV. I decided to go with a 30 minute DSV, with the ASV starting at 2:30 PM. The Smash Bros. tournament actually had an effect on the trends here. Vote totals dropped off when the tournament started and then were was a small spike in vote totals after the tournament ended. This is further supported by the increase in the number of online users after the tournament. We went from around 5000 online users to about 6100 after it ended. As for the trends here: "A - Wow! That was amazing" performed very well during the board vote and Power Hour. It was able to go even with "B - Great, not jaw-dropping" for about 1 hour before dropping off the map and never really attempting to pull off comeback. It dropped off during the DSV and early part of the ASV. It started doing slightly better during the 2 hours prior to the start of the Smash Bros. tournament. The worst hour for "A - Wow! That was amazing" in this poll happened during the first hour of the Smash Bros. tournament, so this tournament did have an effect on the trends here. The tournament ran for about 2 1/2 hours and for whatever reason, "A - Wow! That was amazing" actually did very well during the 8:00-9:00 PM while the tournament was going on. But after the tournament ended, "A - Wow! That was amazing" was putting up its best performance of this poll. "A - Wow! That was amazing" went even with "B - Great, not jaw-dropping" for the last 4 hours of this poll and gained about 1% during this same time period. "B - Great, not jaw-dropping" performed worst during the board vote, Power Hour, and DSV. It performed best during the ASV and SNV. "C - The presentation was great" performed worst during the board vote, ASV, and SNV, while performing best during the Power Hour and DSV. "D - Ugh, Nintendo fans can't have" performed best during the board vote, DSV, and ASV. It performed worst during the Power Hour and SNV. "F - Rotten, that was the worst" performed worst during the board vote and Power Hour. It performed worst during the DSV and ASV. Its worst hour was during the Smash Bros. tournament, but then it started doing really bad after the tournament ended. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Quite the fascinating result on yesterday's LL potd PS1 or N64? PS1, by a lot. 21.01% 267 PS1 by a bit. 13.69% 174 Too close to call. 12.75% 162 N64, by a bit. 18.57% 236 N64, by a lot. 33.99% 432 TOTAL VOTES 1271 Putting that into 1v1 terms it would be N64 > PSX, 52% to 34% (w/ 13% undecided) Will these results hold up on GameFAQs as a whole? Only time will tell! (during the Best System Ever contest in 2017) --- board8.wikia.com | thengamer.com/xstats Whoops, accidentally interviewed Zen instead of raytan on The Show, but congrats! |
This
is the final E3 related poll from this year that I will post trend
charts for. I won't be doing any more trend charts for any remaining E3
related polls for this year. Poll updates and trend charts from yesterday's poll: https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=0AgBWiYjlMLwYdDNnRDg2V0dtcExEVTcwNU9CaWJ6U2c&gid=1 Although the poll started at 12:00 AM EST, the poll did not appear on the homepage because of a poll glitch. Even though this was technically a 24 hour poll, I am actually treating this as a 22 hour, 4 minute poll. Only 6 votes were submitted before 1:56 AM and those votes will be counted towards the board vote. The board vote runs from 1:56 AM to 2:01 AM. The Power Hour ends at 3:00 AM. As a result of the late start, this poll only has 3 hours of FNV trends. Now for the trends: "1: Microsoft, 2: Nintendo, 3: Sony" somehow performed best with the board vote, but then dropped off and had its worst time period during the Power Hour overall. After the Power Hour, it was pretty consistent for the rest of the poll. "1: Microsoft, 2: Sony, 3: Nintendo" started off really terrible with the board vote, but managed to recover by the end of the Power Hour. After the Power Hour ended, it was performing just slightly better for the rest of the poll. "1: Nintendo, 2: Microsoft, 3: Sony" started off with a good board vote and Power Hour, but then remained very consistent for the rest of the poll. "1: Nintendo, 2: Sony, 3: Microsoft" had a massive board vote despite the late start to this poll. It dropped off very harshly after the board vote, but still finished with a very good Power Hour. After the Power Hour, it was slowly losing strength for the rest of the poll, with the ASV and SNV being its worst time periods. "1: Sony, 2: Microsoft, 3: Nintendo" had a bad board vote, but managed to gain percentage during the rest of the Power Hour to finish with a below average Power Hour. After the Power Hour, it was slowly gaining strength for the rest of the poll and performed best with the ASV and SNV. "1: Sony, 2: Nintendo, 3: Microsoft" had a really terrible board vote, but managed to recover very nicely by the end of the Power Hour. It remained very consistent for the rest of the poll. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |

I'm
surprised at how bad the vote totals on today's poll are. In the past,
the "Who won E3 this year?" poll would usually end up getting vote
totals that are roughly 5% lower than average, but this poll is getting
about 20% lower vote totals compared to an average poll. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
I bet we'll have 4-digit vote totals by the time we get to Part 1190 --- Courage is the magic that turns dreams into reality |
It's
going to take years for that to happen. Even right now, our average
vote totals currently stand around 28500. Despite that low average, we
have yet to see a poll with under 10000 votes since 11/27/2001 (Poll
727). --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Okay then. It'll take until Part 1200, which will be at least half a decade, for vote totals to get that low. --- Courage is the magic that turns dreams into reality |
Fallout 3 vs. Metroid Prime's trends from GOTD indicate Fallout 4's got this. And this is with TES VI LFFing it. Huh. And I guess we've gotten a new Elder Scrolls game more recently than a Fallout game but this still makes me wonder if Fallout 3 would have a shot at Skyrim. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO raytan NO PEACE] |
When I saw the results of this poll, I was surprised how similar the results were to Fallout 3/Metroid Prime. Metroid Prime 4 got off to a really good start with the board vote, but it's dropped off a bit since then. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
I'm
surprised OoT isn't in this poll, because it was released in every
major region (North America, Europe, Australia, and Japan) during the
year 1998. But I'm guessing Bacon chose not to include OoT in this poll
because it would easily dominate this poll. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Or because it just received a re-release on the 3DS. Bacon has never cared about an option dominating a poll. --- http://i848.photobucket.com/albums/ab48/Leonhart4/giphy_zps1fe99c19.gif http://i644.photobucket.com/albums/uu166/4X3L/Animated%20Gifs/HaruhiObjects.gif |
I
knew about the re-release on the 3DS, although it was not remastered
with HD graphics. I'm sure there are lots of gamers who would love to
have an OoT HD. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Mesa_%28video_game%29 Probably why Half-Life is doing so poorly. And while people had some issues with The Twin Snakes and said game's graphics aren't modern at this point either, Metal Gear Solid has also already had a remake. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO raytan NO PEACE] |
What
the hell is Thief: The Dark Project? Apparently I missed that one
growing up. I've at least played every other option in today's poll
except for that game. I've never even heard of it until now. --- Your new reigning and defending Guru Champion, raytan7585! |
I've
never played it either. It's a classic PC game that got great reviews
and decent sales but I'm assuming it was still probably too obscure for
the console-loving gamefaqs demographic to take notice. It has a
medieval/steampunk-ish setting and is apparently an FPS except you use a
bow and arrow instead of guns and the emphasis is on stealth instead of
combat. It sounds fun. Sequel seems to have been received about as well but then the developer went bankrupt afterwards. A third game in the series came out in 2004 and did okay and then the fourth game came out earlier this year and was poorly received. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO raytan NO PEACE] |
Even
without OoT in this poll, we're on track for about 31000 votes here.
That is above average vote totals considering we're averaging around
28500 votes. With OoT in this poll, I think this poll could get around
34000-35000 votes instead. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Agh,
why couldn't we have had a Console Contest 4 or so years ago? I've been
saying N64 > PS1 since back when that was considered an upset, and
now it'd probably be the favorite! ~grumbles~ --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar. Congrats to CBIX Guru Winner *Raytan*! |
N64 beating the PS1 is why we can't have a Console Contest. --- http://i848.photobucket.com/albums/ab48/Leonhart4/giphy_zps1fe99c19.gif http://i644.photobucket.com/albums/uu166/4X3L/Animated%20Gifs/HaruhiObjects.gif |
Indonesian Banjo returns again. Currently there are 55 votes in Indonesia, with just 1 vote for Banjo-Kazooie. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |

You
guys know that I'm definitely tracking poll updates for this poll.
This poll is pretty much going to be the US and Canada vs. The World. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
An hour into this poll and here are the current Geolocation results for various countries: United States: Football 11.76% Soccer 88.24% Canada: Football 15.27% Soccer 84.73% Australia: Football 21.74% Soccer 78.26% New Zealand: Football 34.62% Soccer 65.38% Mexico: Football 85.71% Soccer 14.29% United Kingdom: Football 95.83% Soccer 4.17% The first thing we can see here is the word "Soccer" is not a universally used term among our American voters. It's not even drawing in 90% here. Now, some of them are probably not native born Americans (they moved here from another country) and are more likely to use "Football" over "Soccer", but there are probably some hardcore soccer fans here who prefer to call it "Football" out of respect for the sport. In Canada, the use of the word "Football" is slightly more common than in the US, but even Soccer is over 80% in Canada. The surprising thing here is that "Soccer" is dominating in Australia. Not as much as the US or Canada, but Soccer is close to 80% in Australia. "Soccer" is less common in New Zealand, but it's still a doubling in that country. As expected, "Football" is the dominant term in Mexico and the UK. It's still too early to predict how the trends will play out, or whether "Football" can actually win entire hours over "Soccer" during the deep night vote. It really depends on how much "Football" will dominate Europe and Asia. "Football" probably wins entire hours overnight if it can bring in 90%+ in Europe. If it's only bringing in around 70-80% in Europe, it won't be winning whole hours over "Soccer". --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Whoa.
Football almost won that 2:25 AM update. That was a pathetic 51.05%
update for Soccer. Well, at least I know that Football will be winning
some updates overnight, but it's still too early to tell if Football can
win entire hours over Soccer. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Hourly trend chart for the first 4 hours so far: Time | Football | Soccer | Lead 1:00 | 21.03% | 78.97% | +1942 2:00 | 28.05% | 71.95% | +884 3:00 | 37.13% | 62.87% | +418 4:00 | 42.15% | 57.85% | +200 Based on the previous hour, I expect the 4:00-5:00 AM hour to be very close. I believe Football will take this next hour, but only by a very small amount. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
At
4:30 AM, Football has won its first update. It was a 5 vote cut.
Previously, there was a tie update at 4:15 AM, but this update was an
actual cut. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
I thought Soccer is a US only thing |
Nope.
Soccer is the most commonly used term in the US and Canada, but it is
also commonly used in Australia (and New Zealand to a lesser extent).
If you look at the poll maps, you will see some interesting results
here. Soccer is winning in South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and China because a lot of those voters are not native born citizens of those countries. There are some Americans who are currently living in those 4 countries who are voting in these polls. As for the major European countries, only Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands have less than 85% for Soccer. The only reason Soccer is holding up very well during the night vote is because of Australia and New Zealand. Those 2 countries are preventing Soccer from getting its doors blown off with the night vote, despite Soccer having under 90% in the US and Canada. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Oh Also lol at first post Wylvane thought it would take two months to fill this topic How about 4 |
Soccer
just won the last hour by just 3 votes. I was right that 4:00-5:00 AM
would be very close between Football and Soccer, although I incorrectly
predicted that Football would win that hour. About 4 1/2 months to fill up this topic. The next topic should take even longer to fill up, unless a new contest is announced sometime this year. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Man, I miss the days when we'd talk about what kind of impact being in Smash Bros. will have on guys like Pac-Man and Shulk. Those days are gone. Might as well retire this thing. --- http://i848.photobucket.com/albums/ab48/Leonhart4/giphy_zps1fe99c19.gif http://i644.photobucket.com/albums/uu166/4X3L/Animated%20Gifs/HaruhiObjects.gif |
Actually, the Korean word for football is actually "soccer", or atleast a Korean equivalent of "soccer". |
