GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1210
Didn't know how strong pre-RE4 Resident Evil games were. I know MGS barely beat FFT in the original BGE, so yea I guess this result makes sense then. --- Cranky's Advice - "git gud" Oh yea, I guess raytan won. |
Nanis23 posted... Jesus at the spread of MGS>Splatoon The best Wii U game and the second best game of the year got curb stomped in a match it should have won, no way Splatoon does anything but get completely blown out. I don't know a single person who bought or played that game. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
I
played it for an hour at my friend's apartment. It was fun, but it
needs a lot of improvements if it wants to be REALLY good. It's
team-based but doesn't allow for voice chat (which prevents young kids
from yelling at you but they should at least allow it between people
you're friends with), and you have to exit the match-making service to
change your weapons. If they made it more like League's team-builder
where you can pick a role (shooter, paint-roller, sniper) and go into a
match that needs that role on a team, the game would be much better. I'd say it's more playable than MGS at least. That game's controls are horrible. MGS still crushes it, definitely breaks 80. --- Cranky's Advice - "git gud" Oh yea, I guess raytan won. |
watch out for the Splatoon rallies tomorrow /s |
MGS
playability is a product of its time, and in 1998 the game was
extremely playable and well made. Most of the people on this site either
played MGS back then, or played the improved Twin Snakes version which
resolved a lot of the issues in the original. Playability of old games is a terrible metric to judge strength on, since playability is usually a relative term. For example, compared to modern FPS games, Goldeneye plays like absolute garbage, but to a person that never had a PC before the N64 came out, Goldeneye was extremely easy to play. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats (edited 11/18/2015 8:09:20 AM)report |
What's
with Fallout/BioShock? The percent have been wildly fluctuating where
one game would gain 0.05+% then a few updates later the other game would
gain 0.05+% --- BGE3: Today's Matches Witcher 3>BoI:R, MGS2>RE, Fallout:NV>BS:I, RE4>PM Points 46/52 |
UltimaterializerX posted... TsunamiXXVIII posted...That's...a long ignore list. Admittedly I've considered ignoring a few of those users myself at times, but... I was referring more to all the ranking debates than the actual product on the field. --- FC 5026-4424-6331 -- Native Vivillon type: Polar Still need Marine, Sun, Icy Snow, Monsoon, River, and Jungle |
I like how Witcher is nearly at 90% in Poland. They're definitely looking out for their own here! --- JAK The Character Battle IX people's champ. |
LordoftheMorons posted... I know nothing about Witcher. If it gets rallied are its fans likely to disproportionately vote for any other games up today or next round? I knew nothing about Witcher before this contest either, so I looked it up. Here's what TVTropes has to say: "The Witcher franchise started off as a collection of loosely connected dark Low/Heroic Fantasy short stories that deconstructed classic Fairy Tales, before evolving into a five novel-long series with a strong Myth Arc. Written by the Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski during The '90s, the books were translated into multiple languages (including Russian and German) and eventually adapted into comics, a Film/Live-Action TV series The Hexer, and tabletop RPG. However, the franchise first gained widespread attention in the English-speaking world with the release of The Witcher, a video game adaptation-slash-sequel by a then-unknown Polish developer studio, CD Projekt RED. Since then, English translations of the original books began to appear. As of 2015, only five of the now-eight books have received an official English translation, but the other three have been fan translated, and are freely available at The Witcher Forum (Video Game) Community "Our Community Fan Translations" Page." ...So, yeah. I have no idea what to expect. Normally I assume video games based on non-video game IPs will be weak, but as it says there, most of the Anglosphere only really took notice of the franchise with the release of the first video game. --- FC 5026-4424-6331 -- Native Vivillon type: Polar Still need Marine, Sun, Icy Snow, Monsoon, River, and Jungle |
1337gamerpr0 posted... watch out for the Splatoon rallies tomorrow /s Thank god it's up against a well respected older game. That piece of s*** needs to die quickly along with the wii U. |
Can't wait for Witcher 3 to tear MGS2 next round. IF not then Leon will Smash that overrated POS. |

But WRPGs in general are about the strongest Western games we have so I'd expect it to be a midcarder (I was expecting 77-78% today so its not quite that level but not bad). --- http://i.imgur.com/aF7qUNh.jpg http://i.imgur.com/db8BkaS.gif http://steamsignature.com/card/0/76561197979294707.png |

Oh hey a day where I'm not losing points left and right save_me_RE4 --- 44/52 pts - GameFAQs' 20th Anniversary Best. Game. Ever. Contest! NP: Witcher 3/MGS2/Fallout: New Vegas/Resident Evil 4 |
ffmasterjose posted... Oh hey a day where I'm not losing points left and right Yeah, good day for me too And I hope that many people took Bioshock over New Vegas, and I also believe some took RE>MGS for some reason But I have Borderlands 2 next match so I dunno if I can make it into the leaderboard after all --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
So, tomorrow, will NintendoFAQS prevail or will the run on Western games keep its streak going? --- Formerly known as Dilated Chemist |
I think that Borderlands 2- Earthbound is not going to be close One will 60-40 the other But which one? I don't know! --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
Watch people try to advertise Splatoon through the in-game billboards. I assume Nintendo has a policy of removing MiiVerse advertising posts that end up in the game. --- BGE3: Today's Matches Witcher 3>BoI:R, MGS2>RE, Fallout:NV>BS:I, RE4>PM Points 46/52 |
Januzaj_Dragon posted... Can't wait for Witcher 3 to tear MGS2 next round. IF not then Leon will Smash that overrated POS. How is MGS2 overrated? It's rightfully considered the weakest MGS (or at least it used to, lol 4 and 5). There is nothing overrated about that. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |

Most of the people on this site either played MGS back then, or played the improved Twin Snakes version which resolved a lot of the issues in the original.

Guys, GotY is Trails SC. everyone else just fighting for second place --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
Game of the Year more like Game of 2006 --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
X gonna give it to ya --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
Splatoon looks like 90s Nickelodeon. I believe that's a good thing. --- Cranky's Advice - "git gud" Oh yea, I guess raytan won. |
X is a real challenger --- satoru iwata |

Some stats stuff: RE4 is projected to get 58.28% on Paper Mario. It currently has 59.31%. Using these two polls in addition to the match today: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/3466-division-6-round-1-ffx-mgs2-silent-hill-2-morrowind http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/3460-division-4-round-1-csotn-kirbyss-re-s-mario-64 MGS2 is projected to get 36.27% on Super Mario 64. SM64 is also projected to beat FFX with 52%. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
KamikazePotato posted... http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/3466-division-6-round-1-ffx-mgs2-silent-hill-2-morrowind Silent Hill 2 is better than all the other games in that topic combined. Ain't no justice in the world. --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |
KamikazePotato posted... Some stats stuff: SM64 being projected to beat FFX with 52% sounds just about right. --- Man is not the creature of circumstances. Circumstances are the creatures of man. |
LeonhartFour posted... Oh hey, thanks for the endorsement, cn! Gonna second this endorsement, I always look to you for the sensible opinion Leon! You might not always be right but you usually have good reasons for supporting a pick. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
Axiom Verge, best Metroid since Zero Mission, GOTY --- Communists |
KamikazePotato posted... MGS2 is projected to get 36.27% on Super Mario 64. SM64 is also projected to beat FFX with 52%. Think Mario 64 does more in both of these matches. Although I'm starting true believe Mario World is the one true Mario game atop them all. --- satoru iwata |
In a just world MGS2 would break 40% on Mario 64. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
52% on FFX sounds about right for SM64. It's never shown itself to be above and beyond that, really. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Don't think FF10 is that close to SM64 is all. Need to see it before I believe it. --- satoru iwata |
They both put up similar numbers on LttP in 2009. There are reasons to disbelieve anything the 2009 finals told us about FFX or LttP, but still, the numbers are there. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
LeonhartFour posted... FFX > Mario 64 ZFS posted... Don't think FF10 is that close to SM64 is all. Need to see it before I believe it. these posts are so on brand its crazy --- Communists |
I've
done alright not paying attention to any of 2009 or 2010s numbers! Not
that they're always wrong, or lol X-stats or whatever, but I'm not one
to put much stock into those contests as they apply to today. Like, it
could be right, but I think Mario 64 is better now than then. --- satoru iwata |
(just because I'd pick it doesn't necessarily mean I expect FFX to win) (I make a lot of fanboy picks that I fully acknowledge are likely to not pan out, like Symphonia > TTYD or KH1 > FFIX) --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
