GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1219
If Undertale makes it to the finals, can we just petition Bacon for the Bonus Matches to be: SMB3/RBY ME3/FO3 FO3/SMW ...and so on and so forth. We have enough time to get through them all (7 would be effected I believe.) --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar. Congrats to CBIX Guru Winner *Raytan*! |

FO3/SMW is a waste of time. So is ME3/FO3. SMB3/RBY is also a waste. just do SMW/RBY and Mario 64/FFVII depending on who Undertale Beats. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif (edited 11/25/2015 9:14:25 AM)report |

The other ones would be exciting, but these are the only ones where I know for sure what the contestants would be. --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!"

Whoever loses to Undertale in the Finals and Semifinals face off. It'll all depend on what those games are. --- 3DS FC: 1805-2178-2522 NNID: Scarlettail |
FO3/ME3
and SMW/FO3 could be 12 hour matches too, just to start things off. I
was just trying to keep things ~in order~ by listing SMB3/Pokemon first. --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar. Congrats to CBIX Guru Winner *Raytan*! |
Wow, Suikoden II! Way to go! --- Wild raytan appeared! He chose Samus > Mario. It's... super effective? |

Banjo-Kazooie rally spotted! https://twitter.com/grantkirkhope/with_replies It was a retweet but still. --- Video Games are pretty cool. |

UberPyro64 posted... Banjo-Kazooie rally spotted! I tweeted grant for the first match, but he didn't retweet. Same with Playtonic --- Cranky's Advice - "git gud" Oh yea, I guess raytan won. |
Wow, developer retweet. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
What was banjo at 30 minutes ago? That's when the retweet happened. --- Cranky's Advice - "git gud" Oh yea, I guess raytan won. |
If SOTN gets beat by a rally i'm done --- http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/330/958/a5b.gif |
A Banjo rally would boost DKC2's percentage too, wouldn't it? Both games were made by Rare. --- PaulG235 "Ike and Ash & Co. saw a Yoshi and didn't catch it." - Mer telling us his dream. |

Well Banjo-Kazooie's percentage is going up. Just not by very much. --- Video Games are pretty cool. |
We
might not see any cuts until a few hours from now, like with the
undetale rally. Most people don't check twitter throughout the day. Also here's the link for Luster and anyone else: https://twitter.com/2trickytorpedos/status/669575082579091456 --- Cranky's Advice - "git gud" Oh yea, I guess raytan won. (edited 11/25/2015 10:39:48 AM)report |
Guys, Hideo Kojima and David Hayter for MGS. Just don't tweet David Hayter about MGSV as he'll just tell people to vote for Dark Souls instead. --- http://www.backloggery.com/whitelens | http://myanimelist.net/profile/WhiteLens http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/5086952/ |

Well, every Banjo match before this year involved him getting SFF'd to death. Maybe Allen is biased against Banjo! --- Cranky's Advice - "git gud" Oh yea, I guess raytan won. (edited 11/25/2015 10:43:34 AM)report |
whatisurnameplz posted... UberPyro64 posted... lol. But god people really dislike the GameFAQs community nowadays huh? --- Video Games are pretty cool. (edited 11/25/2015 10:44:48 AM)report |

It's understandable. If you hate JRPGs and Nintendo and love the Xbox and PC then this isn't really the place for you. Also our tastes are old and not exactly evolving. --- Cranky's Advice - "git gud" Oh yea, I guess raytan won. (edited 11/25/2015 10:47:50 AM)report |
If Banjo/SOTN was 48/52match then sure. It's pointless other than boosting Banjo's x stats. Also that guy may get in what? 1000 votes at best. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif (edited 11/25/2015 10:48:51 AM)report |
NowItsAngeTime posted... UberPyro64 posted...whatisurnameplz posted...UberPyro64 posted... I like how some of those 4chan nerds say things like "OoT gfaqs darling game" OoT wuld win "best game ever" on a ton of Video game sites. Probably more than any other. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |
I go to places with more Japanese taste (JRPGs, VNs, 2D Fighting Games, etc) and they still get a bad rep there. --- Anime List: http://myanimelist.net/profile/superange VG List: http://myvideogamelist.com/profile/superange128 Visual Novels: https://vndb.org/u6633/votes |
I don't think it's this site's tastes that causes the reputation. It's probably our userbase's behavior --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |

Can't blame them, there's so much toxicity in the game boards. Hell, toxic can emerge even in this very topic. --- http://www.backloggery.com/whitelens | http://myanimelist.net/profile/WhiteLens http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/5086952/ |
shane15 posted... Yuri_LowelI posted...NowItsAngeTime posted...UberPyro64 posted...whatisurnameplz posted...UberPyro64 posted... America creams over a lot of stuff, more so than everyone else. America has the largest game market. My point is OoT is amongst probably 15 or so games that is always up there as one of the best amongst many site,mags etc.., America or European. Even in the Famitsu all time great games it was in the top 10. And Japans great games consist purely of JRPG's. At least western gamers have more diverse taste. A FFVII for example would be in a lot of peoples list. I seriously you'll find Mass Effect or Starcraft in any JPN peoples list. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif (edited 11/25/2015 10:57:11 AM)report |
Gamefaqs
is held in low esteem because it's a very old and small community. You
can't go into any of the game boards now without the majority of the
people there knowing each other and this prevents people from voicing
opinions because they instantly get branded as trolls. That and you
probably get warned/suspended/banned for even the smallest things making
this site a joke. --- Your signature is automatically appended to the bottom of every post you make. Your 'About Me' message is displayed on your profile page. You can include any in (edited 11/25/2015 11:03:17 AM)report |
MechanicalWall posted... I don't think it's this site's tastes that causes the reputation. It's probably our userbase's behavior The stigma absolutely comes from the site's tastes first and foremost. Look at how many people bawl their eyes out whenever a Final Fantasy or Nintendo game wins any match. ...even if the match is something like Super Mario Bros. 3 vs. Monkey Island, and the same exact result would happen literally everywhere else on the Internet. --- Now crack that combination: 27 99 23. |

Gamefaqs
is no worse than most communities. Just look at the /v/ thread calling
gamefaqs all that, while the very same topic is a s***hole (with amazing
posts like "90%literal 12 year olds" when our active userbase is nowher
near that. You can find toxic posters in every site and make a
generalisation out of that. I've yet to go on a forum that doesn't think most others are irrelevant or amazingly bad. --- http://i.imgur.com/8t1rzi1.gif |
Name me a site on the net that will have a more active community(english language based) for niche JRPG's? I thought about this and researched it a few years ago and there isn't any. if a game like Suikoden VI came out, Gfaqs would have the most popular and active chat board for it. Obviously now theres facebook which is more active but even then I doubt it. I remember when Resonance of Fate came out on 360 and Ps3....the only place you could talk about that game without waiting 5 hours for a reply was Gamefaqs. Thats the type of gamers that are on this site. For Fallout 4...then no but even then the community is still very active. It's a great site for Guides and Dsicussion of games that aren't very popular. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif (edited 11/25/2015 11:12:24 AM)report |
MechanicalWall posted... TheCodeisBosco posted...Look at how many people bawl their eyes The bawling over GameFAQs results is far from exclusive to our boards, though. Whenever there's, say, a Reddit rally, a non-negligible chunk of the comments talk about how we're all FF/Nintendo fanboys and such. Thus, the stigma is propagated, and seems to be primarily based in site tastes and poll results. --- Now crack that combination: 27 99 23. (edited 11/25/2015 11:12:20 AM)report |
