GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1203
CasanovaZelos posted... 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? I only watched a little bit of a playthru vid that only covered the first hour. dancing_cactuar posted... 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. Thanks. About how many hours does it take to beat the game? -hotdogturtle-- posted... creativename posted...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. Never played EarthBound. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
-LusterSoldier- posted... After one hour in today's matches: What has been the average votes for the Power Hour? |
I'm just too cynical at this point and have written off the contest. All that's left is to see OoT run up the score and see if it can be the savior we need! --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
Usually mid-to-high 3000s, although yesterday's matches had low 4000s. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Undertale
takes about 6 hours to complete the first time, maybe 15 hours max to
do absolutely everything. Depending on your experience, the number can
be a lot lower. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Just realized the only 2 matches I've incorrectly called both had a Mass Effect game in them. Son of a b**** --- 22/24 pts - GameFAQs' 20th Anniversary Best. Game. Ever. Contest! NP: Skyrim/Goldeneye 007/Metroid Prime/Half-Life 2 |
One playthrough of Undertale takes easily less than 10 hours but for certain reasons you may want to play it again afterward. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
Oooh that's a significant boost in that case. |

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? According to steam, it says it took me 8 hours, but I'm sure that's inflated ever so slightly. Again, it's not a bad game, I just see the fanbase going the way of Sonic or Steven Universe in terms of cringe and stupidity. Already I see hints of it. AxemRedRanger posted...

charmander6000 posted... If we assume all 1000 votes went to Phoenix Wright then Skyrim would have 71.72% right now. Why assume that all of the extra votes from tumblr go to Phoenix Wright? Are you not aware of how popular Skyrim is? --- "Undertale isn't exactly a trivial game, like some seem to believe." - SBAllen http://backloggery.com/herodeltiempo/sig.gif |
HeroDelTiempo17 posted... charmander6000 posted...If we assume all 1000 votes went to Phoenix Wright then Skyrim would have 71.72% right now. rallied votes favor Phoenix Wright for sure, what happens if you assume 60/40 instead? |
TheCodeisBosco posted... Leon, Luster, hotdogturtle - Thank you for the clarification. Fascinating stuff. The impression I get is that they like games that are 'artsy' and 'hip' rather than games that have substance, quality and interesting commentary. At least that's the only logical conclusion for people that would vote indie garbage over Mass Effect --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |

There's a reason that people call Life Is Strange "Tumblr The Game". --- Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords. With what? ROT-13? -CJayC |
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. As someone who can't stand Earthbound, and the 't3h penguin of d00m!!!!!!!!111111' style of 'humour' present in it, it pains me that these assclowns voted it over the fantastic Mass Effect series. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
Would you guys say Half-Life 2 now has a better shot at Metroid Prime now that Undertale rally is gonna take place? |
spooky96 posted... Would you guys say Half-Life 2 now has a better shot at Metroid Prime now that Undertale rally is gonna take place? No, if anything I'd probably expect MP to benefit more, but who knows? i sure don't --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |

What's a bigger abomination is what they did with Animal Crossing against Mario World. I'm more upset about that than what happened with ME3.

Thanks for the updates Luster! Added everything. -hotdogturtle-- posted... There's a reason that people call Life Is Strange "Tumblr The Game". I know very little about Tumblr, and nothing about Life if Strange lol. Why is this? --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
A
lot of people say half-life 2 is past it's prime, but couldn't you
say the same about MP? We haven't had a metroid game in almost five
years --- http://img.imgcake.com/whatisurnameplz/kermitgifre.gif Oh yea, I guess raytan won. |
I just PC gamers would just favor other PC games too. And PC gamers are already loud elitists who hate on consoles. |
Life is Strange is actually a great game. It just stars teenage girls, which is all certain people need to mock it --- **R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D** (On mobile) |

Uh...was
Ace Attorney supposed to get this much on Skyrim? Board vote doesn't
seem like it should account for this much. Is this a good showing for AA
or a bad one for Skyrim? --- http://i.imgur.com/0JdOe85.gif http://i.imgur.com/GzqvnBq.jpg |

I'd say the video game industry has taken a left turn at some point, but I hesitate to call what I'm looking at a 'game'.

walking in around 12:30 AM and going "Weird votals so far. Wait, did I
miss anything yesterday?" was the absolute perfect capstone to what
happened I wonder if PW1 has had a legitimate boost since the last contest. Wouldn't be surprised, Phoenix has looked a little better every year. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
The
round 2 Undertale match is going to be on the same day as Mario
3/Pokemon RBY and the general consensus seems to be that Tumblr would
favor Pokemon if a rally gets going for Undertale again. This multi-poll thing is certainly going to change how we try to predict any other matches that might be running on the same day when a certain game is expected to catch a rally. I will wait until the end of this second hour to see how vote totals in the second hour compare to the vote totals in the same time period from yesterday's matches. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Undertale could have come back from 10500, and probably a lot more. Good lord. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
The spillover's likely favoring PW here and B8 gave it a good start-up momentum. Now PW got 46% on Mario Kart Wii IIRC which then got 70-30'ed by GSC. So if this was all normal Skyrim would be like 65%. This just goes on to confirm that Skyrim actually belongs to the FO3/GSC tier. Not the kind of powerhouse some people were expecting it to be. So if anyone wasgoing for the Skyrim > SM64 upset, there goes bracket. |
spooky96 posted... The spillover's likely favoring PW here and B8 gave it a good start-up momentum. Skyrim should get close to that over the course of the match, basically nowhere to go but up from here. That's about where I pegged Skyrim, so hopefully that's the case. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
Undyne posted... Uh...was Ace Attorney supposed to get this much on Skyrim? Board vote doesn't seem like it should account for this much. Is this a good showing for AA or a bad one for Skyrim?

Let's
say Allen owns a house. We'll call it A. Next door is another house, B.
For Christmas one year, A decides to run a neighborhood decorating
contest and tells others about it, including B. The night before the
decorating contest starts getting judged, B starts egging A's house and
the police show up. Rather than let the police do their job, A's owner
tells the police that B's actions are perfectly acceptable. That's
basically analogous to what Allen did in this contest and everyone knows
it. He had the perfect out to tell Reddit to knock it off, and chose
not to take it because anyone with an IQ above room temperature could
see which site he was allying himself with. - Ulti And now it happens again. EDIT: Forgot to credit the quote --- Ole, ole, ole, ole. Ole! Ole!

Noooooooo!!! I didn't really care about the Undertale thing, but if SMB3 loses because of goddamned Tumblr I will be upset. That said, will it really help Pokemon? I don't think that's predictable. I mean, from what people have said Tumblr is mostly female. And while I doubt Undertale ralliers have the same demographics as Tumblr overall I'm sure they are totally different from GameFAQs. Younger and much more female. Hard to try and predict who they will favor. Really for most matches I can only assume they'd exert pressure towards more 50/50 results. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

BlAcK TuRtLe posted... dancing_cactuar posted...creativename posted...Thanks for the updates Luster! Added everything. The fact that it has overwhelmingly positive reviews on steam is one of the most baffling things I've seen in a long time, even after the ending turned out to be worse than ME3 in terms of choice and impact. Then you scroll down to the reviews, and you see the top reviews who somehow put 55 hours into a cinematic game, don't even say why the game is good, or is s*** like this: Ep 1- :D I despair for the industry if this is the future. --- 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 10:50:13 PM)report |

And while I doubt Undertale ralliers have the same demographics as Tumblr overall I'm sure they are totally different from GameFAQs. Younger and much more female. I would assume the age demographics of Tumblr consists of younger people on average than the regular GameFAQs voters, so that should also be considered on top of Tumblr having a bigger female population. To recap what happened in all 4 matches yesterday: Fallout 3/Life is Strange - Tumblr favored Life is Strange by a fairly good margin, but not to the same extreme as their preference for Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Fallout 3 also did not lose a single update to Life is Strange that I can see in the updates, unlike Mario World. Undertale/Mass Effect 3 - Heavily in favor of Undertale and the intended target of this rally. The other matches just got caught in the crossfire from the rally. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City/Final Fantasy VIII - This match was more evenly split between the Tumblr voters, although they did favor FFVIII to a slight extent. It caused FFVIII to gain about 2.5% after the rally started. Super Mario World/Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Tumblr's preference for Animal Crossing was so extreme that it managed to win a bunch of updates against Mario World. There was also a period from 7:15 PM to 8:15 PM where both games went 50/50. The normal GameFAQs voters would be heavily favoring Mario World and was the only reason why Animal Crossing only went 50/50 during that time period. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
So dancing, I googled undertale ending and there's many it seems. Which ending are you (and that reviewer...) talking about? Nothing too spoilery, but put it in spoiler tags anyway :) --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
I think he's talking about Life is Strange. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
one thing that might
help SMB3 weather a potential rally: I suspect the tumblr audience
favors the newer Pokemon games, so maybe RBY doesn't get boosted as much that being said, SMB3 is even older than SMW, and yeah... |
-LusterSoldier- posted... Fallout 3 also did not lose a single update to Life is Strange that I can see in the updates, This is a little reassuring. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |
