LeonhartFour posted... Huh, the DSV actually got more votes than the ASV. Of course ASV is dead... every kid has a smartphone and is probably on the site during school so they can get their info, go home and immediately play a game --- SephirothG post http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/1268566/awwyeah.gif |
Goodbye ASV. I won't miss you. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |

Of course ASV is dead... every kid has a smartphone and is probably on the site during school so they can get their info, go home and immediately play a game Even so, that also doesn't factor in the fact that the average age of our site's users is over 27 now. This means we have so few people under the age of 18 voting in the polls that it becomes impossible to support an ASV. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |

27 year old vote from workfaqs I wonder how that manifests. was that a thing in 2013? seems like it should have been but I didn't follow that contest all that closely. --- xyzzy |
Surprised
to see such overwhelming bracket support for KH2 here. In the age of
low votals and higher average user age, I can't see people supporting
Mr. Clown Shoes over MGS4. Coupled with the fact that MGSV was so well
received and popular, I feel like the board is going to be 0/2 in
debated matches so far. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
MGSV well received and popular lol --- Communists |
Nostalgia, my friend. Nostalgia. --- Don't mind me. I'm just here for the contest. |
transience posted... 27 year old vote from workfaqs ASV was subuded somewhat in 2013, but votals were still high enough that there were a lot of high school/college students voting in the ASV. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
Mega
Man X vs Arkham City was pretty heavily debated so even if MGS4 does
win (which is possible), it isn't as if the board consensus didn't get
any debated match right. --- This was my signature, but Raytan, 2013 Guru champion, took it away. |
MGSV was well received and popular among critics. Among the actual fans, it's been pretty divided. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |

People never acknowledge the times the board actually got a debated match correct because of hindsight bias! --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
MGSV
was very well received by the critics but there are a lot of MGS fans
who didn't like it. It was way too 'different' both gameplay structure
and story. --- ... |
MGS V is the best unfinished game ever. --- Video Games are pretty cool. |
transience posted... I wonder how that manifests. was that a thing in 2013? seems like it should have been but I didn't follow that contest all that closely. The ASV was pretty much dead by 2013. 2012 was really the last year that we saw any noticeable ASV trends. What perfect timing as well, since there was a poll on the 2012 Leap Year day which happened at the right time to really show off some classic ASV trends, but also allowed for the the After Work Vote to be visible too. Back when I proposed an After Work Vote in 2012, I got called out for proposing such a crazy idea. With the ASV now practically dead, I think the concept of an After Work Vote has to be considered again. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
if
anything, MGS5 divisive fan reaction will play in MGS4's favor, since
its like the polar opposite. Its the most MGS ass thing that's ever MGS,
for better or worse. Fans will appreciate it more. --- Communists (edited 11/5/2015 7:53:02 PM)report |
LeonhartFour posted... Oh hey, I bought new copies of all of the games (went ahead and bought the R&C HD collection for PS3), so you can just keep them! Man you're a true friend, dude. Sorry I'm so abrasive all the time, I swear I don't mean to be. I'm just from an era where being a badass male meant something, unfortunately a lot of that is gone now. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |

Cool white guy from the 80s alert LMAO Ulti you really are a gem And of course you lose a lot of that when you're 400 lbs --- Shooting Game never die. It prays that the clover of luck be always in your mind. (edited 11/5/2015 8:01:58 PM)report |
LeonhartFour posted... pyresword posted...Mega Man X vs Arkham City was pretty heavily debated so even if MGS4 does win (which is possible), it isn't as if the board consensus didn't get any debated match right. about 35% of the Guru brackets had Arkham City, only 13% had DQ8 --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
abdou posted... MGSV was very well received by the critics but there are a lot of MGS fans who didn't like it. It was way too 'different' both gameplay structure and story. The moronic vocal minority does not factor into contest strength. The evidence of that is in today's Persona match. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
also it's funny how BT calls out Ulti for being a petulant child who hasn't grown up and he hasn't changed at all either --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
LeonhartFour posted... also it's funny how BT calls out Ulti for being a petulant child who hasn't grown up and he hasn't changed at all either lmao that's been my favorite little sub-plot of this thread. Everyone's personalities are exactly like they were 10 years ago, for better and for worse. --- Communists |
Don't forgive him Leon That's the cowards way out --- Board 8's Voice of Reason http://i.imgur.com/chXIw06.jpg |
UberPyro64 posted... MGS V is the best unfinished game ever. No, it isn't. Episode 51 was the only mission that was cut, and the cutscenes were 30% done. Sonic 06 has way less polish, and it's not even close. --- http://i.imgur.com/ILNyqN1.png |
High
guru or BOP support just means people largely agree on which game has a
greater than 50% chance of winning. It says nothing about whether they
think the game has a 51% chance of winning or a 90% chance of winning. Like Auron vs Squall was a debated match between characters of equal strength back in 2010. In the end it really was a close match as we expected. Board 8 sided with Squall to the tune of 78%. It wasn't because we though Squall would win in a landslide, it would because we thought he had a 50.1% chance to win. --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
MGSV...had a hard life --- Communists |
It's true Mgsv is more polished than a worst game ever candidate --- Board 8's Voice of Reason http://i.imgur.com/chXIw06.jpg |

It says nothing about whether they think the game has a 51% chance of winning or a 90% chance of winning. But when you're making blanket statements about 'the board really screwed the pooch on this one', 87% failure is much worse than 35% failure. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |

Preparing for this match with Sanctuary. Hopefully it goes better than my Persona 3 music rotation. >_> --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
