KamikazePotato posted... Advokaiser posted......What does lol x-stats say about Okami vs. Warcraft III today? Whoa! Thanks. I'm actually pretty surprised because I predicted 62.24% for Okami, so this means that I was off by a 0.08% margin! --- Wild raytan appeared! He chose Samus > Mario. It's... super effective? |

Advokaiser posted... Hey guys, I have a doubt. According to these polls: Okami is projected by those to get 56.29% here. KP's 37.84% Warcraft value solely uses GotD x-stats. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] (edited 11/13/2015 10:10:29 AM)report |
Metroid
Prime's division in GotD (which included Okami and Half-Life 2) is
overrated. If you account for that, every match in 2015 so far looks
pretty much on the nose. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Overrated by two percent? --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |
Okami doing so well here is an outlier to the general trend, though even then it's still marginally underperforming. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
SlugSh0t posted... Metal_DK posted...SlugSh0t posted... Dude, I'm not trying to piss you off, it just doesn't seem like you understood the point of MGS2. At all. Please keep reading because I'm not being hostile here. Let's keep it civil. Completely refusing to understand Kojima's intent is stubbornness. You call the story convoluted and you say Raiden is a p**** etc etc without understand Kojima designed it this way on purpose to make a statement about gaming and expectations. MGS2 was massively massively hyped. Kojima looked at that and hype of previous successful games with sequels and intentionally designed MGS2 as a game that completely turned expectations on their head. He correctly anticipated the exact visceral reaction you have towards Raiden. Raiden was created to be a p**** on purpose. Because Raiden is a reflection of the angry gamer who wants to play as a badass soldier like Solid Snake. Raiden is a whiny b**** because he's not Snake. The player is a whiny b**** because he is not Snake. The whole point of the game is to say you are NOT Snake. It's a game and the ending drives home you need to go out and create your own legacy instead of living someone else's in various forms of pop media entertainment which at the end of the day are largely meaningless in life. The story of MGS2 is intentionally inconsistent and ludicrous to make you question the reality of MGS2 and being part of a virtual reality program, much like the movie Inception has some inconsistencies and hints for the same reason. It then ties in with the greater overall message of the game with postmodern concepts about modern evolution and how flawed modern "truths" are decided by society with an overflow of information especially on the internet, which are brilliantly explored in the climax with your conversation with the AIs.

But if you are questioning what I said above, it's going to take more than a couple minutes to prove it. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
Okami
has a chance at beating FF9 next round. Would you take Metroid Prime
easily over Kingdom Hearts? (I would, even before this match.) Okami
scored 42% on MP, and I think it's stronger now. Still think FF9/KH beats Okami which is why I have KH > Okami in my bracket, but food for thought. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
I'm
starting to get nervous about Banjo-Kazooie/Baldur's Gate II. If this
wasn't a Nintendo 64 title going up against a PC title I'd be really
freaked out. --- BGE3: Today's Matches LoZ:OoT>Hearthstone, Suikoden II>MH4U, Okami>Warcraft III, FFIX>KH Points 27/32 |

Having
sat down to read and watch several analyses of what MGS2's plot is
trying to convey, a good amount of which I caught while playing anyway, I
can say its a commendable effort. The meta-narrative and the way Kojima
played with the expectations (to whichever degree intended) was also
quite interesting. However, it is obvious that it stretched the narrative and characters in order to fit the MGS cannon into that vision at points and quite often, it didn't manage to weave it organically into the game. Therefore, I can totally see how people (and there are people who "got it" but still dislike it mind you) don't feel it deserves much credit. It's similar to the No More Hereos situation. That also tinkered around with a "meta-narrative", sometimes including things to drive home a point that quite often didn't help the product itself mechanically and generaly tried to play around with expectations. It's really up to how tolerant you are to design decisions that may not directly improve the gaming experience (whether it is gameplay, characters or narrative) but help create a wider commentary. That said MGS3>MGS=MGS2>MGS4>I didn't bother wth MGSV :) --- http://i.imgur.com/8t1rzi1.gif |
i wake up to see KH down by like 850 with less than half the match to go there goes bracket if I went 4/4 today I could've been on the leaderboard --- sig pssssssssssst - http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/568795-soccer-challenge |
I assume KH hasn't been cutting --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |
I'd
love to see Okami win next round, but I can't see it. It shouldn't be a
blowout, but I expect FFIX to score a comfortable 55-45 win. |
http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/3467-division-6-round-1-gtavc-k-hearts-metroid-prime-paper-mario Even when adding 100% of Paper Mario's votes to MP, KH1 still wins. KH1 has gotten weaker and MP has probably gotten stronger, but I would still give the edge to KH1 today. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. (edited 11/13/2015 10:36:19 AM)report |
Looks like today is my first and last day on the leaderboard :/ --- http://img.imgcake.com/whatisurnameplz/kermitgifre.gif Oh yea, I guess raytan won. |
FFIX
breaks 900 and still rising. I called this match over after the 3rd
update last night, but if KH is going to do anything, it'll probably be
in about an hour, when the famed ASV traditionally hits. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
I’m
not so sure, assuming the proportion of Canada to US has remained
constant Canada alone is negating about 40% of US’s votes. Even though
Europe is going to sleep FFIX still has Latin America, Asia and New
Zealand and even Australia is barely supporting Kingdom Hearts. At best
KH’s will likely fall short if it even comes back. --- BGE3: Today's Matches LoZ:OoT>Hearthstone, Suikoden II>MH4U, Okami>Warcraft III, FFIX>KH Points 27/32 |
Trends
have been all over the place. Even still, I'm surprised KH is still
bleeding this badly. But anything is possible with KH's oldschool ASV...
even though KH2 didn't really hit it who knows. Feeling pretty good about FF9 --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
Let's talk about Ocarina of Time putting 90% we all talked about different games getting blowout of the some worried hearthstone would rally but ocarina shuts it all down what a beast Really, though, nothing stands a chance. Ocarina is straight up gross in how popular it is. Pretty cool. --- satoru iwata |
I still don't understand how this game is so popular. --- Why do we exist?What happens when we stop existing? |
ZFS posted... Let's talk about Ocarina of Time putting 90% Pretty much. This site continues to remain a haven for Nintendo fans. Zelda and Nintendo are very popular on some other sites, but I've never seem such a stronghold like at gamefaqs. --- >_______________> |
ZFS posted... Let's talk about Ocarina of Time putting 90% Well if there had been a rally it wouldn't be that way. (maybe Ocarina would have still won but not in a lol 90-10) But I guess I was right in that the core of the hearthstone reddit wouldn't support a rally and that twitch rallies are just not possible. Also KH is doomed at this point right ? |
Safer_777 posted... I still don't understand how this game is so popular. best game ever --- satoru iwata |
Averia posted... ZFS posted...Let's talk about Ocarina of Time putting 90% Not ready to call it until 4. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
Fairly big cut there after several stalls... --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/drupal/node/22?matchnum=6086&num=2 can't believe this site is still f***ing up after so many years lol.. --- >_______________> |
Safer_777 posted... I still don't understand how this game is so popular. It's the best game ever created. That's why. And on top of that, it also happens to be one of the most important and revolutionary games ever created as well, being that every 3d adventure game after has taken things from it as a basis. easy to see why. |
I
was wondering what kind of rally would be needed for Hearthstone to
defeat OoT. By my calculation OoT is set to win by about 33k, but of
course a rally would have some backfire rate. A while back I calculated
the percent of votes that backfired in Draven’s first two rounds and I
got about 10% which essentially means for every 10 votes Draven only
went up by 8. If we do the same here that increases the votes needed to
41250. Add in that Zelda fans would likely fight back and we see what
kind of army is needed for such an operation, even with our vote totals. --- BGE3: Today's Matches LoZ:OoT>Hearthstone, Suikoden II>MH4U, Okami>Warcraft III, FFIX>KH Points 27/32 |
Safer_777 posted... I still don't understand how this game is so popular. FFVII fanboys wouldnt. IT's my personal fav game of all time. The game was ridiculously good when it first came out. (edited 11/13/2015 11:23:57 AM)report |

(Series) It took blatant cheating to BARELY beat Link with a rally never seen before. It would take someone proxy servering like never before to ever have a chance at beating Ocarina of Time like that. |
Januzaj_Dragon posted... Metal_DK posted...Solid Snake was in his prime as a soldier, just because you didnt play as him doesnt mean he wasnt a badass. MGS2 is so filled with WTF it's impossible for it not to be memorable! Even if not necessarily in a good way. It's my least favorite MGS that I've beaten (the others being 1, 3, and 4), but I'd say it's right around the level of the others anyway. I felt like the endgame stuff justified Raiden's annoying personality. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil (edited 11/13/2015 11:22:20 AM)report |
Charmander,
according to SBAllen, 40% of the rallied votes in Link/Draven went to
Link. That matches up pretty well with what we observed in the updates.
If that holds up here, we're looking at a rally of around 150,000
votes needed here. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
For
Hearthstone to win here it would've needed a Draven-level effort from
the word go. The chances of that happening were always insanely slim. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Metal_DK posted... Januzaj_Dragon posted...Metal_DK posted...Solid Snake was in his prime as a soldier, just because you didnt play as him doesnt mean he wasnt a badass. I love MGS2, but seriously the game's biggest fans are so darn pretentious. Then again Metal Gear in general is, and MGS2 takes it up to eleven, but I do appreciate the game's tackling of complex themes as something that helps offset MGS2's otherwise weak plot compared to 1/3/4. Plus I do ultimately like Raiden and Solidus, and it's MGS2 where Ocelot truly becomes a magnificent bastard. Honestly, MGS2's lasting legacy is probably its introduction of things that would, for better or worse, come to define the series as a whole. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
Monster
Hunter's performance is proof that the polls need to be shown across
the entire site. Given it's rating, it's active board, and it's position
in the top 100, it should have enough fans to keep this close. I can
only assume that they're not voting. I don't think that Suikoden II
could get more than 12% on Ocarina. |

KamikazePotato posted... For Hearthstone to win here it would've needed a Draven-level effort from the word go. The chances of that happening were always insanely slim. Still wouldn't have been enough. Link you can understand why some (not very perceptive) people might not like him as a character, not understanding what he is and what he stands for, that's fair enough. Or that it's about actuall power in the character battle, in which case Link is not the strongest either, and therefore vote against him. But my god in heaven, it would be virtually impossible to get a large group of people to vote against Ocarina of Time in a Best game ever contest. If 40% of Draven drones went to Link, I'd say 60% of Hearthstone drones would go to Ocarina of Time. Vote stuffing is the only way this could ever ever happen. |
PLEASE enough of the MGS discussion can we take this to a separate topic, this is a stats topic. |
SlugSh0t posted... Metal_DK posted...Solid Snake was in his prime as a soldier, just because you didnt play as him doesnt mean he wasnt a badass. And just a post after saying that MGS2's fans are pretentious I feel like defending Raiden. I do feel like he was more relatable than Snake and has appeal that way. For me I appreciate MGS2 having a plot much deeper than most games (or most anything really), and that does make up for the game's other shortcomings...but most of the characters aren't interesting and the plot is practically incomprehensible (though I was still able to get invested in what was going on), so nyah nyah. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
For every pretentious MGS2 fan there's at least two obnoxious MGS3/Big Boss fans --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Then00bAvenger posted... Yeah, I think characters tend to feel more alive and engrossing when they're characters the protagonist interacts with rather than the protagonist itself. In that sense, Snake in 2 is probably my favorite Snake Ack no I liked Snake more in MGS1! I like Snake as much as the next guy but for some reason he always seemed like a bit of a generic character archetype. Oh, a very cool one, but still. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
