GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1221
When did the stats topic turn into the "Let's rally for games noone wants to win!" Topic? --- Yay - Raytan is the guru champion of awesomeness. |
Yeah we react so badly to this rally stuff. Then again I'm just happy to see my favorite games wrecking house. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
The_Ctes posted... It's ridiculous to see people whining about the Undertale rally going so far to rally for Witcher 3. Witcher 3 is the best game of the year. Mgs2 was a hot steaming pile of dogs***. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |
Looking
at the vote intake there was a mild rally in MGS2/TW3 overnight which
peaked at around 4-6am. By my estimate we got around 500-700 rallied
votes. --- BGE3: Today's Matches SMRPG>GTAV, CC>GTA:SA, MGS2>Witcher 3, RE4>Fallout: NV Points 95/112 |
cyko posted... When did the stats topic turn into the "Let's rally for games noone wants to win!" Topic? Probably when that one idiot decided it was a good idea to rally for a garbage indie RPG --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
BT do you actually hate Undertale so much? --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
From
all that I have seen, it seems like a contrived indie game that tries
way too hard to be Earthbound, another game which I cannot stand due to
it's failed attempt at humour. Combine that with the people that are
fans of the game, and you have the worst video game in years. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
It still amazes me that BT is a real person. --- Hello, I'm Chris! https://media.giphy.com/media/2ZtIpjwFFjLHLNREpCU/giphy.gif |
I have Witcher 3 in my bracket. stop trying to wreck contest results --- xyzzy |
LordoftheMorons posted... http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/drupal/node/22?matchnum=6139&num=2 yeah, SMRPG's lead is just increasing at a slower rate than it was before. GTAV isn't making actual in-roads. the percentages are always deceptive --- Started from the bottom now we here |

Combine that with the people that are fans of the game, and you have the worst video game in years. Not being interested in the game at all and thus hating on its run is fine. Calling a game garbage without having played it though... --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil (edited 11/27/2015 5:56:42 AM)report |
looks like SMRPG held up better today than last time 'round. still a chance for SA to end up higher in the stats than 5! --- xyzzy |
Achromatic posted... It still amazes me that BT is a real person. Troll Turtle Black Troll I dunno. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
I've
played enough of the garbage indie games and enough of the good indie
games in the last 5 years that it's pretty obvious which ones are
garbage (like Flower, Journey) vs which are great (Shovel Knight, Rogue
Legacy, Axiom Verge) --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
Yeah but still...and how on earth do you compare Undertale to Journey anyway? --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
I am amazed at how exact opposite BlacK Turtle and Ulti are When Draven got his rally, Ulti went and tried LoL and loved it to death, and BT hated it a lot Now when Undertale got rallied, Ulti tried it and loved it a lot too, and again BT hates the rallied game It's like clockwork --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
There goes any chance at a GTA V vs. GTA: SA match. Also there goes bracket (I have GTA V winning its division against RE4 >_>). --- Wild raytan appeared! He chose Samus > Mario. It's... super effective? |
Karma Hunter posted... Man, between Kanz, Smurf, and now tonight, it seems as if rallying is definitively correlated with the worst posters in the stats topic. Can't be true because I haven't rallied anything. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy IX - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3729662 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
Is there a rally for Witcher 3? --- Why do we exist?What happens when we stop existing? |
Safer_777 posted... Is there a rally for Witcher 3? No because my lame Reddit one. But that's not going to get it to win. Don't worry about it. MGS2 is in the high ground at this point. --- Video Games are pretty cool. |
Not_Wylvane posted... Karma Hunter posted...Man, between Kanz, Smurf, and now tonight, it seems as if rallying is definitively correlated with the worst posters in the stats topic. it's okay you did your damage when you used to overload cn's updater back in the day of insta-updates (nah I'm kidding you're cool now) --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
So it could still happen but seems like the witcher 3 rally will fail. This sure is a change from 2013 where everything ever could be rallied. People remember Draven but there was so many rallied results (Squirtle > Cloud, Vivi > Mario , L-Block > Auron) and others random upsets. |
Lol, the PS4 board is very salty over today's results. --- I'm the perfect definition of the phrase "hard to love, but even harder to hate." |
Black Turtle thinks it's ok for him to make an ass of himself just because he won the guru five years ago --- Cranky's Advice - "git gud" Oh yea, I guess raytan won. |
whatisurnameplz posted... Black Turtle thinks it's ok for him to make an ass of himself just because he won the guru five years ago Five years? For how long those BT sigs are going to stay then? poor people that lost the bet or something --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
they were only supposed to stay for two weeks but people are lazy about their sigs I remember when having a sig used to mean something --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Is
it just me or does it seem like none of these games want to win the
division? Not one of these winners looks impressive to me. And the
losers keep making tiny cuts but don't want to take a serious run at the
lead. Maybe I am jaded by all the blowouts we have had, but Fallout NV is probably the most impressive performance today to me. --- Yay - Raytan is the guru champion of awesomeness. |
RE4 is going to win the division by default. Nothing has really changed from the beginning of the contest. RE4 is the closest thing we have to an elite game, and remember that FFX did better on it during GOTD than it did on MMX last week. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
the
thing that's lost on all the SNES hype is that newer games just aren't
that strong. re4 is very beatable and might not be top 20 on this
website. the bottom quarter of the bracket is just weirdly weak. --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
That makes me really wish Resident Evil and Mega Man X had switched spots in the bracket! I can imagine the epic MMX vs SMRPG match we could have had! --- Yay - Raytan is the guru champion of awesomeness. (edited 11/27/2015 8:45:42 AM)report |
nah, SMRPG wins that. but MMX vs. RE4? that could be a scary match --- xyzzy |
How
could SMRPG have only 56%? :/ In Game of the Decade, GTA:SA was
expected to get 42% on Oblivion.... okay, maybe lol x-stats, but maybe
GTAV's high sales actually has given this game a bit more strength than
the other games in the series. SMRPG should still be able to beat CC without much trouble next round. I would never take San Andreas over Oblivion. I'd take RE4 over MMX. I think FFX has weakened. I can't say that with a lot of confidence, though. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So... what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think."

I
feel like it's good to qualify what kind of sales we're talking about
with GTA5. Everyone knows GTA sells well, but GTA5 sold 55 million
copies by itself. Just gross. --- satoru iwata |

I don't care about sales at all. That series has been awful since 2. --- Get the X out. Vinateri was using his god powers on the Pats and then was like "Wait I'm a Colt now lol" and now you have it. |

The
really weird part about this is Shenmue. I know there was a
Kickstarter, but did anyone on this site care about Shenmue in the past?
2002 was the only year where anything related to it looked halfway
decent. --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar. Congrats to CBIX Guru Winner *Raytan*! |
UItimaterializer posted... I don't care about sales at all. That series has been awful since 2. That's one of the weirdest gaming opinions I've read here in some time, and that's saying something... --- http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif |

glad
to see MGS2 is aging better, not sure this is a good showing or not but
i fully expected it to get 60-40ed to witcher 3. MGS2 is the best in
the series so it deserves this, especially since Chrono Cross and DKC2
ruined my bracket. |
Who
knows what this MGS2 performance is worth, especially with a dash of
rallying thrown in the picture. We should have a better idea of where it
stands when it faces RE4 next round. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
LOLContests posted... The really weird part about this is Shenmue. I know there was a Kickstarter, but did anyone on this site care about Shenmue in the past? 2002 was the only year where anything related to it looked halfway decent. I think Shenmue is something people would like to be a part of. The reaction to the E3 announcement was way, way bigger than I ever expected it to be about freakin' Shenmue. That probably helped it tremendously. --- satoru iwata |
Metal_DK posted... glad to see MGS2 is aging better, not sure this is a good showing or not but i fully expected it to get 60-40ed to witcher 3. MGS2 is the best in the series so it deserves this, especially since Chrono Cross and DKC2 ruined my bracket. I wouldn't say this is a great performance for MGS2. 2015 games have been bombing like crazy (Undertale aside, obviously, but it was getting crushed by ME3 at its "natural" strength), and MGS2 is probably going to finish with less than 54%. Depending on what you think about how much stronger Witcher 3 is than MGSV, this would suggest MGS2 isn't that much stronger than MGSV! --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif (edited 11/27/2015 9:41:48 AM)report |
CaptainOfCrush posted... That's one of the weirdest gaming opinions I've read here in some time, and that's saying something... I don't even like GTA and I agree with this --- satoru iwata |
The only mainline games in the GTA series that are bad are 2 and 4. --- http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/330/958/a5b.gif |

Considering the fact that GTA is so weak in this site I am sure he is not alone thinking like that I have no clue why this site hates GTA so much, it's such a great series --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
Nanis23 posted... Considering the fact that GTA is so weak in this site I am sure he is not alone thinking like that GTA1 or 2 would be bad fodder, most likely. Honestly, GTA isn't that weak. Vice City, San Andreas, and GTAV have all put up pretty good shows in defeat against '90s JRPGs. It's just not a top tier series and never has been. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
The
site doesn't think like that. GTA1 and 2 have never sniffed a contest
here because no one cares and they'd get crushed by everything. GTA3
hyper-propelled the series into relevancy here and everywhere. --- http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif |
