GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1198
So NintendoFAQs doesn't exist when i actually want the Nintendo game to win. --- http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/330/958/a5b.gif |
I don't trust Mario to just lose like that, wouldn't say it's over. Though Galaxy 2 might not work the same way. --- Ctesjbuvf posting on his phone. |
Does this match say anything about SMRPG? |
Honestly
Mass Effect has the advantage now. The best SMG2 is doing now is
stalling. A small spike every few updates is all that ME needs. --- BGE3: Today's Matches SSBWiiU>Planescape, SMG2>ME, Halo>Minecraft, FFVII>Journey Points 10/12 |
MechanicalWall posted... LinkMarioSamus posted...I want to say it's sad, but PC gaming is in general just harder and less accessible. Before you I had literally never heard anyone who accused KOTOR of "killing WRPGs". Game gets so much hype! Just doesn't sound like the kind of game to get that accusation leveled at. Then again Wind Waker can rightfully rank high on lots of "Best of" lists and Ulti can still go around doing nonsense. Whatever. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
I feel like is this stats tight the SNV takes this for MARIO Galaxy --- Board 8's Voice of Reason http://i.imgur.com/chXIw06.jpg |

shane15 posted... So NintendoFAQs doesn't exist when i actually want the Nintendo game to win. Mass Effect is way more popular and much more this site's kind of game. Although I will admit that part of the reason I picked ME1 to win was because of THE LIST, as ME1 was 10 spots higher. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
/r/nintendo's reaction to the match: "SMG2 against Mass Effect? How can those two games even be compared?" "Can we please stop promoting this clickbaity popularity contest?" /r/masseffect's reaction to the match: "omg I hate mario so much. We must win." "omg 0.02% difference let's do thisssss" Why does one seem so much more enthusiastic than the other? --- If all else fails use fire. |
I
dont know if this is exact correlation here, but ever since that rally
topic appeared on reddit, Mass Effect started breaking away. As far as rallying goes, people's opinion's are obvious: if it helps your bracket, you are for it. If it doesn't, you are against it. --- Don't mind me. I'm just here for the contest. |
gearofages posted... Does this match say anything about SMRPG? Nah. --- Ctesjbuvf posting on his phone. |
Mass
Effect is my favorite series, easily. I still thing SMG has better
gameplay than the first ME game. ME is a way better game overall,
though. --- Warning_Crazy Thing Doer |

LinkMarioSamus posted... shane15 posted...So NintendoFAQs doesn't exist when i actually want the Nintendo game to win. You really can't take that list seriously. RBY is top 5 material. CT is no where near #1 and I can really go on. That list is really just about the forums. |
Why does one seem so much more enthusiastic than the other? Inferiority complex? --- BGE3: Today's Matches SSBWiiU>Planescape, SMG2>ME, Halo>Minecraft, FFVII>Journey Points 10/12 |
Nintendo fans act like grownups! weird --- xyzzy |

LinkMarioSamus posted... MechanicalWall posted...LinkMarioSamus posted...I want to say it's sad, but PC gaming is in general just harder and less accessible. I would hardly say it killed WRPGs, just casualized them. And to be honest, they did need to be casualized in some ways. Inventory management was a nightmare in the older games, and there were so many redundant stats. I don't like that it casualized the role-playing aspect, though. It's come to the point that RPGs nowadays are defined just by the fact that they have an upgrade system rather than the fact that you can play in a large of variety of ways. Now, the role playing has been limited to a binary 'good or evil' system for some dumb reason. --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |

Old
WRPGs have very, very iffy game mechanics. Planescape is a standout
among them because its writing far exceeds anything else the genre has
been able to produce, before or after. And you can mitigate a lot of the
iffy gameplay by playing a persuasive character. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. (edited 11/8/2015 11:32:24 AM)report |

He just shouts THE LIST at us no matter how many times he's informed that it's bull**** --- "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima raytan: Champ without picking the champ |
transience posted... Nintendo fans act like grownups! weird I dunno Nintendo fans seem more mature than Xbox guys half the time nowadays. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
swirIdude posted... spooky96 posted...LinkMarioSamus posted...shane15 posted...So NintendoFAQs doesn't exist when i actually want the Nintendo game to win. I'm just saying that it was the reason my gut pick was Mass Effect over Mario Galaxy 2. I did switch to Mario for most of the bracketmaking phase before changing back. I never said it's the be-all-end-all, just the main reason why I even thought of the upset. Also the main reason why MMX > Arkham City stuck out at me. It's not like my bracket is a slave to the list. I don't have Persona 4 beating Twilight Princess! --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil (edited 11/8/2015 11:38:46 AM)report |
LinkMarioSamus posted... transience posted...Nintendo fans act like grownups! weird Considering the only hardcore Nintendo fans left are the 30 year olds that grew up playing Super Mario Bros., while Xbox is still able to captivate a younger audience, that should hardly come as a surprise. --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |
People
are more enthusiastic about ME because Mario Galaxy is a casual game at
its core and doesn't have the nostalgia effect. It doesn't have an
amazing story, characters, or RPG elements. I've often heard from the
Biodrones how ME has "changed their lives". Not even joking. It's had a
lasting impact on people. Meanwhile Galaxy is just a really great
platformer. It's also a Wii game which harms it a lot IMO. People have
much fonder memories of the NES-N64 era of Nintendo. I never hear anybody singing Galaxy's praises anymore. Nobody really talks about it very much. It's been kinda forgotten and many people moved on to 3D World. I mean what's to talk about? It has kickass platforming? There's no story or controversial ending to talk about for years. ME's differences between each game have also spurred more discussion and fandom. ME has only increased its playrate over the years with PS3 and trilogy pack releases. It also has seen increased credence over the years after ME3's ending soured a lot of people. A lot of people who loved ME1 kept bringing up that ME2 had an equally poor ending to ME3, actually perhaps worse ( I don't think it'll be that much weaker than ME2 to be honest. I thought it was very underestimated especially as GameFAQs has lost a lot of the casual userbase that prefers the streamlined style of ME2. Just some of the reasons I picked ME1 to win this match. Hopefully it pays off. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
I
did notice about his habit of bringing out the list at just about every
thing but uhmm I don't know what to make of his reputation >_> |
I still hear Mario Galaxy get a lot of hype. No one talks about 3D World. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
I
don't get the LMS hate. Sure, he has some pretty controversial contest
opinions, but in my short time here I've never seen him being a jerk or a
troll to anyone. While there are some "contest veterans" here who don't seem to be able to function socially. |
When I hear people talk about Galaxy, it's more about respect instead of being a huge fan. It's like the modern day Pac-Man. --- BGE3: Today's Matches SSBWiiU>Planescape, SMG2>ME, Halo>Minecraft, FFVII>Journey Points 10/12 |
ME2
didn't need a good ending though, which come to think of, is a bit
weird. But it was always going to be the middle game, and the last 2-3
hours were incredible enough that nobody needed an actual ending. That
was going to be the job of ME3. (Whoops.) For the record, I still really like 3. Save for the last half hour. --- Congratulations to raytan, Winner of the Guru contest for CB IX! |

charmander6000 posted... When I hear people talk about Galaxy, it's more about respect instead of being a huge fan. Same. People usually get more enthusiatisc over Smash Bros or the next new Zelda/Pokemon game --- Anime List: http://myanimelist.net/profile/superange VG List: http://myvideogamelist.com/profile/superange128 Visual Novels: https://vndb.org/u6633/votes |
charmander6000 posted... When I hear people talk about Galaxy, it's more about respect instead of being a huge fan. It's probably due to being on this board so much but most of the time when I hear Galaxy mentioned it's about being a huge fan. Just my two cents. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
NowItsAngeTime posted... charmander6000 posted...When I hear people talk about Galaxy, it's more about respect instead of being a huge fan. This is right though. Or heck, Metroid. That one game annihilated Galaxy 2 in "most anticipated" polls. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |

JJH777 posted... spooky96 posted...LinkMarioSamus posted...shane15 posted...So NintendoFAQs doesn't exist when i actually want the Nintendo game to win. Gap between #1 and 2 is significant. like a good 54-46. And thats for FF7. any other game and were talking 60-40 at the very best. That's not close. |
LinkMarioSamus posted... charmander6000 posted...When I hear people talk about Galaxy, it's more about respect instead of being a huge fan. It IS mostly this board. This board has a very unique viewpoint on games and I noticed there's a big Galaxy fandom here. Not a bad thing at all, it's good to have different cultures in the community and I'm glad this place is more than just a place for contest discussion. But overall on the internet, like charmander said it's more about being a "respected" game like Pac-Man rather than having a dedicated following. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |

ME3 is an outstanding game, so is 2 and 1. Yes 1 had the best story but the gamepaly is not as good. the Interface and inventory is garbage and the mako is awful. But still a great game. The loyalty missions alone in ME2 made it one of the best games i've played that gen. ME3 overall has the best gameplay and is the most refined. The entire ME series is just incredible. |

For the record, ME is my favourite game series of all time. I take the good with the bad. I agree the suicide mission is incredible, it's just those last few moments that are kinda comical, and they don't ruin the game. I also thought ME3's ending was okay, though improved with the extended cut and later the DLC. I thought the last battle on earth and saying goodbye to your friends was one of the greatest story moments in gaming history. Especially Liara. So I was very put off by the backlash of the fans to it. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
swirIdude posted... JJH777 posted...So who actually takes Journey over UYA? Chrono Trigger is looking good. Not sure why Board 8 continues to hold this belief that obscure indie trash is relevant outside of this message board and the Kotaku comments section. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |

The Mako kicks ass imo. Controls are funky but still fun. Planet exploring is also way more fun than scanning for minerals. Like actually dropping in on a planet and exploring it is way more immersive than scanning or being dropped right on the landing pad of an interesting location. It's just tedious when most of the planets are kinda samey and the buildings are always the same with crates in different spots. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
The
backlash to ME3's ending is what happens when you have a fanbase with
unreasonable expectations, and what you produce not only fails to meet
those expectations, but is the worst possible attempt you could have
made at meeting them. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Mass Effect now up triple digits! --- "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima raytan: Champ without picking the champ |
so... is this over for SMG2? |
considering what Galaxy 2 has been doing since like two hours ago, I'd like to say this is over and ME takes it but it's not totally done pretty close to it though --- sig pssssssssssst - http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/568795-soccer-challenge |
Not
done yet imo. This match has not been predictable, and the Mario magic
could come alive. I'm feeling a lot more confident though. I won't feel safe till ME is over 500 votes. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
Not done, but currently it seems more likely that ME will increase the gap than otherwise. |
I'm
just not sure why anyone would take a FFVII match at face value. FFVII
will never be capable of the same kinds of blowouts as unhated games
like Chrono Trigger or Mario 3. |
