MGS3 under 57% and plummeting hard ME2 > MGS3 really might be a thing --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
I'm not sure how Earthbound is managing to look bad unless we expect it to be on the level of the SNES classics now --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
LordoftheMorons posted... Yeah but he claimed that he was okay with it if it brought permanent voters to the site (not that I think his CT rally is doing that either) well that's a load of crap obviously --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Leon might be happy to know that I am currently downloading FFVIII onto my PS3 May or may not play it in the near future, but that's one step closer! --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
quite frankly I think MGS1 is looking amazing only FFX and MGS1 among the non-SNES games have managed to beat an SNES game --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
LeonhartFour posted... MGS3 under 57% and plummeting hard We're finally gonna get a clear and indirect read on MGS and MGS3 sure it might have to come through a SotC/ME2 match but that still counts --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
ME2 still has to get past Starcraft Starcraft could beat MGS3 though --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
LordoftheMorons posted... Leon might be happy to know that I am currently downloading FFVIII onto my PS3 good man I might get back to DQ8 after several years as a way to return the favor --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
I feel pretty good about ME2 winning at this point unless Starcraft gets a rally of substance (which is possible, I guess). --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
LeonhartFour posted... I might get back to DQ8 after several years as a way to return the favor Woooo I personally prefer 6 and 7 because of my heavy JOB SYSTEM bias, but 8 is a fantastic game too (and probably more up most people's alley) --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
I wanted to play DQ7 but then one of my friends warned me it would take more investment than my doctorate is this true --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |

416 hours for a leisurely completionist run this seems reasonable --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
DQ7 is the only DQ game I haven't played --- satoru iwata |
Yeah well most DQ games are kinda long. |
Time spent playing DQ7 is time well spent. Best DQ game and one of my favorite games of all time. --- Play Earthbound And Dragon Warrior(Quest) 7 |
is a speed run considered to be if you can beat the game in under 100 hours --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Not true! DQ1-6 are reasonable length. DQ7 is when they started getting real big. --- satoru iwata |
Karma Hunter posted... I wanted to play DQ7 but then one of my friends warned me it would take more investment than my doctorate is this true DQ7 is like an 80-150 hour game depending on whether you just do the main story or do side quests and stuff. I really love it though because in addition to the job system it has a great system for exploring new places that I haven't seen any other game do (minor spoilers, like a couple hours into the game): --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
I completionist'd DQ8 pretty leisurely and I think I'd have remembered if I had spent two and a half weeks cumulatively doing it --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
DQ7 is perhaps the best single player grind game out there. Its the longest of a series known for having lengthy games |
My mostly completionist run (I didn't like max out all jobs or anything, but I did mostly everything else) was at 150 hours. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
DQ8 is probably a good 70 hours itself. And if it took you less than 70 hours then 7 would probably take you less than 100 hours too assuming you play about the same. Also surprisingly I think the speed run record for 7 is faster than 8. I know 7 got it down to about 13 hours recently --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice.

LeonhartFour posted... is a speed run considered to be if you can beat the game in under 100 hours as far as I can tell, WR is sub-16 hours ....jesus christ that is ludicrously long by speedrun standards |
The sub 16 record is for the English version The Japanese version has a sub 13 hour run. Probably more due to player experience than version differences --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. (edited 11/27/2015 10:58:59 PM)report |
I played DQ7 a few years ago and it took me about 65 hours to beat. DQ8 was about 55, I think. |
Actually I was wrong apparently DQ8 got down to like 12 hours. Still pretty close to each other. --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
and there's an 18 vote cut for BioShock ugh MGS3 why are you so awful --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Then00bAvenger posted... The sub 16 record is for the English version oh I'm talking about DQ7 anyway games with long unskipable cutscenes are the worst to speedrun |
All I remember about DQ8 is moseying along pretty leisurely and doing okay until I suddenly ran into There was some good stuff after that but it's real weird that they would make the final boss accessible so early in the game --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
1337gamerpr0 posted... oh I'm talking about DQ7 I'm talking about 7 too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlRO43u6mUo --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
LeonhartFour posted... and there's an 18 vote cut for BioShock If it's any consolation MGS3 had its best update in over an hour right before that cut just to make the pain that much more tantalizing I s'pose --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Yuri_LowelI posted... Also if we assume oot is the undisputed king(which it is) then feeding the weaker games in its half is the best way to make the contest interesting. That way you have all the potential #2 candidates fighting it out and avoiding being stomped by ocarina early. For example i wouldnt like to see games like mario world melee or rby being fed to ocarina before they meet a chrono trigger ffvi or a ffvii. This is just way better. No it is not better. In a normal bracket you'd have for instance 1 vs 4 and 2 vs 3 anyway. Normal brackets are always better, imbalanced brackets suck. Traditional bracket making gives the best possible bracket. KamikazePotato posted... The only game match pic I've ever seen that I think may have made a difference was the entire SSBM cast vs. Tidus' mug. Nothing less than that is going to change anything. My biggest issue with the contest is the lack if text names. People are literally voting *only* based on pics (and pre-knowledge of the bracket placement). And some pics are hard to make out what game it is. In one match, one pic was just a white space for me. I'm sure others have seen a glitch like that. I really wish he'd have names below the pictures. So far I don't think it's mattered, but it's more likely to affect close matches. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Karma Hunter posted... All I remember about DQ8 is moseying along pretty leisurely and doing okay until I suddenly ran into You fight him not that far into the game iirc. I believe he was a step up in difficulty, but that is not the final boss fight. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
LordoftheMorons posted... Karma Hunter posted...All I remember about DQ8 is moseying along pretty leisurely and doing okay until I suddenly ran into I appreciate that you didn't immediately take that statement as being facetious. It was an incorrect assumption on your part, but I still appreciate it. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
One of the more enjoyable parts of a 2nd playthrough is abusing alchemy knowledge and getting revenge in that fight --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
Also he's probably the (3ds version) --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
Man MGS might've fallen off but MGS is doing its best right now to make MGS3 > MGS seem as impossible as it possibly can Too bad there's an ME2 in the way at this rate so we can't see it happen directly --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Still pretty worried about ME2. It really needs to build a decent buffer here. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
There can be a StarCraft in the way, too! Same principle. ...well not really since if StarCraft gets past ME2 and MGS3 it'll be bandwagoned to hell making transitive evaluations kinda useless --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Karma Hunter posted... There can be a StarCraft in the way, too! Same principle. Starcraft stalling OH YES |
Starcraft
only being able to stall right now isn't really a great sign because
the night vote was its best time last round as well as ME2's worst. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Starcraft is losing anyway without a rally which is why stalling is worrying me a bit. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Starcraft is teasing my bracket ;_; --- Hello, I'm Chris! https://media.giphy.com/media/2ZtIpjwFFjLHLNREpCU/giphy.gif |
It
seems like SC fans don't give a crap about starting a rally. We already
saw a post on the main SC website and I'm sure someone has tried on
reddit. No traction yet. --- http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif |
LordoftheMorons posted... Starcraft is losing anyway without a rally which is why stalling is worrying me a bit. If it gets a "real" rally, it'll win. Without one, it has no shot. At this point, the odds of a real rally seem low. --- http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif |
Nick
has a rally on reddit. It has gained a bit of traction; I'm guessing
it's pulled in on the order of 100 votes (hence the stalling). --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
