15 years later you can be mad i think. People should no by now what MGS2 was doing. Its like the spoiler that keeps on giving. |
I haven't ever seen The Boss fans just outright hijack a thread that wasn't already about her or MGS 3 in general. --- Blasting off |
I have also never been a PC Gamer at all, if that explains my ignorance at all. Unless you count the Commodore 64 I had when I was really young. Archon all day long!! --- Yay - Raytan is the guru champion of awesomeness. |

CSplitter posted... DaruniaTheGoron posted...LinkMarioSamus posted...KamikazePotato posted...LinkMarioSamus posted...What did MGS3 fans do? Dude. It's been 15 years and tons of analysis on it. There's no excuse for MGS2 hate to exist anymore except gamers are irrationally insane and entitled. That's why it was such a great topic for Kojima to tackle actually. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
Metal_DK posted... 15 years later you can be mad i think. People should no by now what MGS2 was doing. Its like the spoiler that keeps on giving. It would make sense if it was a niche series. People who either caught the hints or read up on MGS2 are a minority out of the millions that played the game. I feel like if you have the vision to pull a MGS2 situation, you have made peace with the fact that even down the line, it won't be the most easily appreciated thing. --- http://i.imgur.com/8t1rzi1.gif |
22 vote gain. Comeback doesn't look like its going anywhere. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
Anyway, these updates are BRUTAL for KH. It should be making some headway by now. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
CSplitter posted... Metal_DK posted...15 years later you can be mad i think. People should no by now what MGS2 was doing. Its like the spoiler that keeps on giving. Yeah but I'm saying even when you explain it to people they still bury their heads in the sand. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |

As I said in a previous post, games that made compromises to fit a bigger narrative are always going to be a tricky subject. I'm assuming we're talking about irrational hate here a la "i hate dis gaem bcuz no snake" and not just dislike for other reasons. --- http://i.imgur.com/8t1rzi1.gif |
I have FFIX to R3 so whatever! --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |

Do people really not understand that in Any literary medium, the story has to stand on its own? That the only thing that counts is how the reader/viewer/player experiences it themselves? That any "explanation" that comes later, from an outside source, does nothing to invalidate that person's genuine experience of the actual work? At best such an explanation might nuance their view of it, but it will never fundamentally change their entire perception of it. --- Blasting off |
redrocket_pub posted... DaruniaTheGoron posted...CSplitter posted...Metal_DK posted...15 years later you can be mad i think. People should no by now what MGS2 was doing. Its like the spoiler that keeps on giving. Actually my perception has changed many times on certain pieces of art after thinking about it. You just have to have an open mind. I remember Citizen Kane kinda bored me and then I came back to it years later and it blew me away because I had a greater understanding of what made it work so well. That's why I told that guy to give it another shot. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." (edited 11/13/2015 12:52:44 PM)report |
DaruniaTheGoron posted... CSplitter posted...DaruniaTheGoron posted...LinkMarioSamus posted...KamikazePotato posted...LinkMarioSamus posted...What did MGS3 fans do? MGS2 hate is not irrational at all. That game was a massive prank. I love the game because I'm at least able to accept it for what it is and appreciate what it does. But it's still my least favorite MGS game and I feel like the fans who put it on a pedestal are a bit snobbish and pretentious. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |

LinkMarioSamus posted... DaruniaTheGoron posted...CSplitter posted...DaruniaTheGoron posted...LinkMarioSamus posted...KamikazePotato posted...LinkMarioSamus posted...What did MGS3 fans do? The ones who value it more than MGS1 and 3 are snobbish for sure. All of the stories have their merits. I appreciate MGS2 for its balls and I appreciate MGS1 and 3 for their more traditional storytelling and incredibly well written characters (well, some of them, it's a bit hit and miss). --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
Did the kiddies finally get out of school? That was quite a turnaround. Maybe just a balancing of the last 4 updates though. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
KH getting some decent cuts again. Let's see if this can be a trend. --- sig pssssssssssst - http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/568795-soccer-challenge |
eww block quotes |
Eventually, KH might possibly break the 900 barrier. Then , it will realise it has to do it 9 more times and will give up. (edited 11/13/2015 1:09:32 PM)report |
From
3 to 4, FFIX gained 41 votes. The ASV is dead, dead, dead. KH did
manage to pick up its third hourly win of the day from 2-3. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
This
is emphatic though. Back in 2008, Sora/Squall suggested KH could have
swung 3000+ votes here. Now, it cannot cut at all from 900 down. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
well that was a good cut the problem is KH just hasn't been able to do this consistently with trends dying off, its big cut then stalls or even FF9 making those cuts back --- sig pssssssssssst - http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/568795-soccer-challenge |
red sox 777 posted... This is emphatic though. Back in 2008, Sora/Squall suggested KH could have swung 3000+ votes here. Now, it cannot cut at all from 900 down. Well yeah, that was 7 years ago. Like 10% of the voting population of the site is in school age range these days, and everyone has smartphones now. Trends in general are going to be extremely muted compared to the old days. --- http://i.imgur.com/RHvCiY3.png |
DaruniaTheGoron posted... LinkMarioSamus posted...DaruniaTheGoron posted...CSplitter posted...DaruniaTheGoron posted...LinkMarioSamus posted...KamikazePotato posted... This more or less. Though even if I'll agree that the characters are well-written and compelling on the whole, there's definitely plenty of laughable dialogue to go around. I swear I would have cried during --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
Whoa how did the MGS argument start --- satoru iwata |
DaruniaTheGoron posted... redrocket_pub posted...DaruniaTheGoron posted...CSplitter posted...Metal_DK posted...15 years later you can be mad i think. People should no by now what MGS2 was doing. Its like the spoiler that keeps on giving. Yes, because You decided for yourself to give it another chance and think more about it. Not because someone else gave you a point-by-point explanation of how your original opinion was wrong. --- Blasting off |
Who knows? --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
Yeah if there was any proof that the ASV trend is dead and gone, this is it. I hate to call matches but this looks fairly over. Even if KH started a positive trend it would have to cut 10 votes per update on average. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
i
commented to somebodys post that MGS2 was the best MGS. It needs to
stop tho and im sorry for f***ing up this topic, even if this KH/FF9
match has just been "kiddies? kiddies right?" more or less (edited 11/13/2015 1:16:05 PM)report |
And that can't be good news for Melee. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
So... Xenoblade or Donkey Kong? Fire Emblem or Mario Maker? Anyone ready to lose 2 points? |
oh god well at least Fire Emblem is going to have a very hard time rallying against Mario Maker, if you're worried about that (then again Mario Maker has the higher rally potential) |
There's not going to be another large-scale rally outside of Undertale. That should not be a factor in anyone's minds --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
ZeldaTPLink posted... So... If today's results stay the same I'll have 12 from 12 from the last 3 days, but I'd happily lose points to see Dkc2 win. I would expect fire emblem to beat Mario Maker. --- XBL Gamertag - Tiirshak PSN ID - Kudaark Steam Name : skaalfa |

People should no by now what MGS2 was doing. Its like the spoiler that keeps on giving. I gave one example where I came to my own conclusion. I have had many instances where it was someone explaining to me what made that piece of art so great. What is the point of forum discussion after we see a piece of art if not to get a better understanding of it and why it is either good or bad and possibly reconsider it on a second viewing? Apparently open mindedness is in short supply these days though. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
We knew this would happen, but it is still so good to see the ASV fail. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
ZeldaTPLink posted... So... I have Fire Emblem > DKC2 in the fourpack. There are a lot of signs pointing to DKC2 scoring the upset. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
My
point is not that you should be close-minded about a work of art, but
rather if a significant number of people react negatively to a work and
they all need someone else to 'correct' them about how good that work
supposedly is, it's a safe bet that there is an intrinsic flaw in that
art. --- Blasting off (edited 11/13/2015 1:23:53 PM)report |
red sox 777 posted... We knew this would happen, but it is still so good to see the ASV fail. i'm kinda disappointed. i don't want KH to win, but a Frog-Axel repeat would have been fun. --- http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxkdr0uNc91qlu5jao1_r1_400.gif |
LinkMarioSamus posted... ZeldaTPLink posted...So... Because something makes a crazy run every contest, I picked Mario Maker to win 3 rounds. Something about Twitch and everyone loving to watch videos, nostalgia, etc. Definitely crazy, I know. --- Viviff on the go! (or from the toilet) http://i.minus.com/iUSn0BlyRplGN.gif |
I picked Xenoblade to win 2 matches purely off of faith RIP 3 points |
in that 8 pack I have Xenoblade Awakening Banjo SOTN Xenoblade SOTN SOTN Aside from SOTN winning two matches and Banjo winning one, I have no confidence in any of that. --- sig pssssssssssst - http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/568795-soccer-challenge |
Wait today is the 15th anniversary of Final Fantasy IX in the west? How did I not know this. --- Video Games are pretty cool. (edited 11/13/2015 1:37:10 PM)report |
The lack of trends really takes away a lot of the excitement |
I
picked Mario Maker out of pure fanboyism. That and its competition is
kinda weak (DKC2 is a joke, Xenoblade couldn't even win GotY on one of
the weakest years we had, and it's kind of hard seeing a Fire Emblem
game beating a Mario game even if it's the likely strongest FE game
against a weak and vulnerable Mario game). I think SotN will handily beat whoever gets out of there though. SotN is lucky it has such an easy path since I'm sure it's lost a few steps in recent year. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy IX - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3729662 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
