Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1223
Not sure why hating Bioshock is such a shocking unbelievable opinion. The game was garbage, the 'hacking mini games' made me want to break the disk in half, and in my playthrough of it I managed to get stuck in an area where I couldn't backtrack, and I had to fight 2 Big Daddies with low ammunition. After banging my head on that for a while I gave up and swore never to touch another Bio**** game again. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
"not sure why my opinion is such a shocking unbelievable opinion" yeah I wonder why you feel that way --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Rallies dying off at the end of a match will do that to trends At any rate, we know MGS3's second night vote is trash. It cost it a significant lead and prevented it from advancing against RE4 in 2009! --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
it's certainly doing an okay job these last few minutes! --- xyzzy |

The whole point of a demo is to make you want to buy a game and it was trash. --- http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/330/958/a5b.gif |

So we're all going with the explanation that Bioshock is super strong for no reason, right MGS3 can't suck this much right --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Also i was unaware Yuri was the guy who decides what games are good and bad.Bioshock isn't a bad game becasue he said so guys --- http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/330/958/a5b.gif |
LordoftheMorons posted... So we're all going with the explanation that Bioshock is super strong for no reason, right With the possibility of BioShock benefiting from rally overlap from ME2/Starcraft. MGS3 looks bad here no matter how you slice it though. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
LordoftheMorons posted... So we're all going with the explanation that Bioshock is super strong for no reason, right I want to believe this is the case. I want to hold on to my bracket for a little longer. --- Any sound can shake the air. My voice shakes the heart! -Sho Minamimoto |
Bioshock had to be rally related. Otherwise, why has it stalled out so badly this last hour? --- **R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D** (edited 11/28/2015 4:00:33 PM)report |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... Not sure why hating Bioshock is such a shocking unbelievable opinion. Coming from the guy who loves brawl. Cmon man. Calling bioshock garbage is on a level of a 15yr old kid. People like you should not be allowed to play games in the first place. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |
because MGS3 is a huge night vote game and it's getting late. come 10pm we'll see mgs3 come alive again. --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
also
guys it's okay if mgs3 looks bad. there doesn't have to be an external
reason. it can just be overrated / have gotten weaker. --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
transcience posted... because MGS3 is a huge night vote game and it's getting late. come 10pm we'll see mgs3 come alive again. MGS3 is not a huge night vote game. It dropped a full 3% from the ASV to the SNV against friggin' Mother 3 last round. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
My
ME2>MGS3 pick is looking pretty good. I took it to have some later
round cookie upset and today has made me feel pretty great about it. --- My old signature was really outdated. I haven't thought of a proper new one yet. |
Yeah I can totally buy MGS3 being overrated or weakening horribly I really can man but don't you dare suggest an MGS game has a good SNV that's too much man --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
shane15 posted... Also i was unaware Yuri was the guy who decides what games are good and bad.Bioshock isn't a bad game becasue he said so guys Because ive played it and understand many aspects of game design from core mechanics art style story atmosphere and pacing rather than playing a demo and call it an underwater generic shooter. You can have your opinion. Doesn't mean its not s***. There are very few bad games in this contest. Maybe you need to learn what a bad game is or start leaning more about the games you play. I dont decide what a good game is. But i can decide who i shouldn't go anywhere near for game recommendation and advice. Calling bioshock a bad game makes you look like an airhead. Calling it a boring game is something different. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |
MGS3/ME2 is a tossup at this point. At least if MGS3 loses, it'll lose to a top 15-20 favorite game for me instead of something I don't care about. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Solid Snake lost updates to Samus during the SNV last contest in a match where he nearly doubled her --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
LeonhartFour posted... transcience posted...because MGS3 is a huge night vote game and it's getting late. come 10pm we'll see mgs3 come alive again. Mother 3 is basically a night game too considering only very hardcore people have played it. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |
it's mother 3 man. screw predicting anything through mother 3 --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
MGS3's best time was the first night vote, so I'm not buying that either. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
here's a not bold prediction: mgs3/me2 won't be close. it's just totally unpredictable. --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
So we are going with Silent Hill 2 having had a major boost for no readily apparent reason since we last saw it? --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
If BioShock is generic I can't imagine what constitutes as unique. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |
Snake was on track for the closest loss to Link - ever - until the SNV hit e: I misread the chart, make that the closest loss since 2005 --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. (edited 11/28/2015 4:12:06 PM)report |
transcience posted... it's mother 3 man. screw predicting anything through mother 3 That's a convenient thing to say, but MGS3 was consistently in the 69-71% range the entire match after the first hour and then down to 66% for the last two hours. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif (edited 11/28/2015 4:11:08 PM)report |
I
can't think of MGS at the ends of matches without thinking of the
Liquid/Alucard match. I think that was the one where MGS randomly
clutched out a win. also I think there was a Snake/Seph match that went similar? --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
transcience posted... here's a not bold prediction: mgs3/me2 won't be close. it's just totally unpredictable. I'm assuming you mean ME wins easily? --- XBL Gamertag - Tiirshak PSN ID - Kudaark Steam Name : skaalfa |
I'd
take Bioshock > Starcraft now and before the contest, though looking
at 2009 it suggests Starcraft would've win in the stats. Still,
GameFAQs goes more for FPSs than RTSs and Bioshock Infinite was better
received here than Starcraft 2. How do you guys feel about ME1/ME2? I think it was pretty clear ME2 was the favorite when it first released, but now that we're a few years away from the trilogy? Not so sure. I didn't play the trilogy, but it seems like ME1 could have survived ME3's backlash better. --- M E N: nominate Metal Man in 20XX! http://i.imgur.com/Dr4NAeq.png |
transcience posted... I can't think of MGS at the ends of matches without thinking of the Liquid/Alucard match. I think that was the one where MGS randomly clutched out a win. Didn't FFT/MGS go that way too? --- Any sound can shake the air. My voice shakes the heart! -Sho Minamimoto |
mgs is washed up no one is going to last minute rally for it anymore snake to lose to vincent --- http://i.imgur.com/RHvCiY3.png |
Yeah, Snake/Seph in the Battle Royal was a "clutch" win pulled out by Snake, but I use "clutch" in quotations for a reason. Snake had to blow a decent sized lead before that became a clutch win though! --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
transcience posted... I can't think of MGS at the ends of matches without thinking of the Liquid/Alucard match. I think that was the one where MGS randomly clutched out a win. Oh, MGS in the last, like, hour/half hour of matches if it's a nail-biter has an amazing clutch. Don't ever think that's untrue. But look at the preludes to Liquid/Alucard and Snake/Seph 2006. The Twin Snakes just totally choke their leads away before the final rallying push at the end. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |

I didn't play the trilogy, but it seems like ME1 could have survived ME3's backlash better. If ME2 weren't the strongest of the trilogy, I'd be pretty shocked. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
I would take Starcraft over Bioshock really easily. I don't really see a reason for that to go the other way. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
MGS2 lost to SotC right at the end as I recall, so the clutch isn't infallable I guess. --- Any sound can shake the air. My voice shakes the heart! -Sho Minamimoto |
transcience posted... also guys it's okay if mgs3 looks bad. there doesn't have to be an external reason. it can just be overrated / have gotten weaker. I mean, it may be true But it would make me very sad! --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
KamikazePotato posted... I would take Starcraft over Bioshock really easily. I don't really see a reason for that to go the other way. Today's results? Unless you're calling for ME2 to wipe the floor with MGS3 next round. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Keep in mind that both ME2 and MGS3 probably finish at 54-55% if there are no rallies, so the rally argument is kind of a wash. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
I think Bioshock is being really overrated by this match. MGS3 isn't this bad. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
ME2
was perfect. By far the best cast, great gameplay and level design and
good story. The game was just epic. The only flaw is that it did not
advance the reapers plotline, making some feel like it was filler. --- ... |
The only flaw with ME2 is having to do that awful planet mining thing. Pretty big flaw too. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Januzaj_Dragon posted... ZFS posted...NowItsAngeTime posted...KamikazePotato posted...Gamefaqs: "Rallies suck" *rallies for every game in the contest* Well you sound quite angry, but you are correct that most Undertale rally voters have probably never played the game. That does bother me somewhat, too. "Real" fans would be more acceptable. The thing with Undertale is that its indie development is a good story, and the original Tumblr blogger told the story well. I don't like rallies because they shift things away from what GameFAQs wants - the non-rallied winner is the more popular game here, and hence the game most of us want to win. Outside forces are like foreign people who live in other countries voting in your elections. It's un democratic. The Tumblr blogger at least was a fan of the game though. Lots of times people are just trying to manipulate people because of their bracket. Most anti-GameFAQs sentiments are started by manipulative GameFAQers. But there's nothing you can really do. Except maybe counter-rally. That's like self-defense so I have no issue with that. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
I think it's disingenuous to say that most tumblr voters haven't played Undertale. Some yeah, but Undertale is a really popular game there right now. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Even the counter rallying can have negative effects when we have multiple matches simultaneously, though :( (As I hope partially explains this MGS3 performance...) I guess there's no choice against a rally as big as Undertale's, though. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
KamikazePotato posted... I think it's disingenuous to say that most tumblr voters haven't played Undertale. Some yeah, but Undertale is a really popular game there right now. Im actually curious where people are getting the idea undertale voters actually isn't even being played much by tumblr voters Is it anti-tumblr bias/assumptions? or bias because they havent played the game themselves? --- Anime List: http://myanimelist.net/profile/superange VG List: http://myvideogamelist.com/profile/superange128 Visual Novels: https://vndb.org/u6633/votes |
I
strongly believe a significant fraction of the rallied Undertale voters
haven't played the game. I don't know exactly how many (I would guess
more than 10% but less than half) but I've thought since the beginning
that the reason the rally was initially successful was the "story" as
creativename mentioned (that a work a single guy poured his heart and
soul into was against this giant popular game). --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
