Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1203
TheCodeisBosco posted... I'm looking for some clarification. I don't have the exact link, but it got reposted thousands of times. I'd imagine the overflow from the Tumblr rally affected the other matches as well. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |

TheCodeisBosco posted... I'm looking for some clarification. No specific rallies were put up for Life is Strange and New Leaf. Tumblr voters very much favored those games over their opponents. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
TheCodeisBosco posted... 2) Were there specific rallies for Life is Strange and New Leaf as well, or were the Tumblr visitors voting contrarian for the hell of it? Not intentionally contrarian, those are exactly the type of games that people on that website like. --- Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords. With what? ROT-13? -CJayC |
A
lead of 10K is still a lead of 10K. Lower votals don't change that. The
lower votals only mean that rallies can be more effective from higher
percentages. The number of votes it needs to garner to swing the match
is still exactly the same. --- Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |
I
had to put a little thought into it, but I have Skyrim out to
Goldeneye. Skyrim just doesn't seem like the game that would get monster
hardcore support here. It felt like a Lara Croft #1 seed to me at
least; seems cool, everyone knows it, but at the end of the day the
hardcore support just isn't there. Also, thanks Tumblr for knocking me off the leaderboard... --- Viviff on the go! (or from the toilet) http://i.minus.com/iUSn0BlyRplGN.gif |

Hombre, I actually like Undertale a great deal, that doesn't change how Life Is Strange is one of the s***tiest "games" I've seen all year and one of the worst narrative driven "games" that exist. Might as well vote for Indigo Prophecy as Best Game Ever, they're on the same level of nonsense. --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jw1m2M8JdkU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bw-sJW8mlMA MGS for PS1 looks better than Smash Bros for Wii U-Linetrix |

Hey Charmander, that biggest swing/deficit erased thing I wanted? I know we won't have enough to make it a table for a bit, but that is a strong opening bid... |
dancing_cactuar posted... CasanovaZelos posted... I think it's more along the lines of, if everyone on gamefaqs had played both Fallout 3 and Life is Strange, I'd expect to see a 70-30 split based on who would prefer those two distinct styles. But even the people who would prefer Life is Strange haven't bothered to get around to it. Same thing with Undertale. I was surprised it wasn't this board's next Phoenix Wright, but now it seems this board is paying little attention to the indie hits. That's a real shame considering I found a lot of my favorite games through users on this board. |
pjbasis posted... 5. Final Fantasy VIII Round 1 32008 Rally boosted the overall votes. Still, lol |
pjbasis posted... 5. Final Fantasy VIII Round 1 32008 good luck topping that FFIX --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
So the rally began at like 5pm yesterday? Did people here notice right away, how quick did people find the source of the rally. So what's so great about Undertale anyway? I tried to check out a playthru vid on YouTube and it seemed like Dragon Warrior. Which I mean, I loved Dragon Warrior 1 as a kid, but I wouldn't want to play through it again. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

creativename posted... So the rally began at like 5pm yesterday? Did people here notice right away, how quick did people find the source of the rally. Undertale did not won a single update before ME3 reached its maximum lead of 9252 at 4:40 PM. Then the rally kicked in after that. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |

Seriously,
how in the world does it remind you of Dragon Warrior? It's a
narrative-driven game with bullet hell-inspired gameplay mixed with a
heavy emphasis on choice-based mechanics. What Dragon Warrior game does
any of that? |
Leon, Luster, hotdogturtle - Thank you for the clarification. Fascinating stuff. So Tumblr is potentially an anti-GameFAQs of sorts, yeah? Supporting newer titles en masse, but not necessarily giving a toss about the old guard? That seems to be the vibe I'm getting anyway. --- JAK The Character Battle IX people's champ. |

Tumblr has a high female population, so yeah, it's anti-GameFAQs in a lot of ways. FFVIII gained a lot of percentage once the rally started, too. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |

creativename posted... So the rally began at like 5pm yesterday? Did people here notice right away, how quick did people find the source of the rally. I will tell you why people like the game, but plz provide source of rally. People like the game because it has a quirky sense of humor similar to Earthbound, an outstanding soundtrack, a nice gimmick in regards to sparing the enemies you fight and talking them down, charming characters, acceptable combat, and a sprinkling of bullet hell. It's not the GOAT like people are making it out to be (I personally prefer LISA The Painful in terms of indie RPGS), but it's a nice $10 sink. Oh, and the game also has a massive mood whiplash at the end. --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jw1m2M8JdkU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bw-sJW8mlMA MGS for PS1 looks better than Smash Bros for Wii U-Linetrix (edited 11/10/2015 9:51:07 PM)report |

transcience posted... I figured you would have at least looked at the results though! None of the matches yesterday seemed interesting so I only checked the current results. GaryOak151 posted... I'm way more annoyed about this than I should be. Allen's tone is so flippant. I guess I love ME3 an awful lot so that has a lot to do with it. Still it seems like a bummer to see a 10k lead in this era of reduced votals go away in a few hours. It doesn't feel like our contest anymore. I hope the tumblr voters at least stay and results are wacky all over the place. What tone? Is there something people actually expected Allen to do about a rally? --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

New prediction: Mass Effect is cursed to destroy our brackets. The VLR fanbase will unite for the first and only time on the internet to take out Mass Effect 2. In anger, the Mass Effect fans will get their revenge by leading Mass Effect to victory over Smash Bros and Final Fantasy VII before finally petering off and letting KoTOR slip by, since both games benefited from the rally and shared contest dates. That's right, guy. KotOR is going to make the final 8. Bet on it. |

You
know, I'd just hope tumblr doesn't catch fire again, at least for next
round. Stuff on websites like that either gets big or dies immediately
and half the people probably won't remember to reblog next time. If you
message them it might only steel their resolve --- **R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D** (On mobile) |
