GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1223
Fallout: New Vegas or Earthbound --- xyzzy |
Gut reaction was EarthBound. Borderlands 2 or BioShock Infinite (There's a decent sized gap for Infinite > Borderlands 2 and MGS1 > RE4 to be true but still) --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Infinite --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
1998 game or 2005 game --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
So today's match we discovered: ME2 and StarCraft are pretty strong games. BioShock is pretty strong itself. Metal Gear series as a whole has gotten weaker. Shadow of the Colossus has a chance to beat MGS1 and Mass Effect 2 has a chance to beat MGS3. --- Video Games are pretty cool. (edited 11/28/2015 6:52:15 PM)report |
I would definitely take Earthbound over RDR at this point; don't think SotC is getting past MGS. On the other hand, you are unfortunately right that MGS3 might lose next round! --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
LOL at people calling Bioshock "generic garbage". You can think what you want about the entertainment value of the game but there was clearly a lot of love and thought put into it, and it's a technical achievement. The water graphics and physics were possibly the best ever made at the time. It was a gorgeous game. And just LOL at saying it is generic I don't even have any words for that one. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
People
only call it generic because so many other games tried to copy it for
almost a decade, leading to people not around for Bioshock's original
release assume that it was a dime a dozen game even back then. It's the
'Seinfield is Unfunny' effect. --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses (edited 11/28/2015 7:19:47 PM)report |
generic
is very vague anyway. few games are groundbreaking and unique, the rest
are just 'bigger and better' even highly acclaimed ones like witcher 3 ,
Fallout 4 and GTAV, nothing unique just bigger and more refined. --- ... |
boy this horrible second night vote is killing mgs3 --- xyzzy |

Do people really herald those games as unique...? Now that's something I can't get behind. Bioshock challenged genre storytelling techniques and put in non-traditional mechanics into its shooting gameplay (RPG elements, powers, hacking, puzzle solving). It's certainly nothing as generic as COD and Gears clones. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
Are the match pics up yet? --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
I
did notice that the text on the PotD page was edited, with the contest
image submission link moved to a different line at some point, so
someone is paying attention to this. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! Future 2015 Guru Contest winner. |
Starcraft has cut 135 votes off of ME2's peak lead. Too bad it let this thing get out of hand. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
MGS1 is periodically tying or outright losing updates to friggin' Earthbound right now I will fight people over the SNV --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Shadow of the Colossus gonna make it through the gauntlet this time --- http://i.imgur.com/yrqRzHJ.gif |
KH is reading this topic and putting people on his gulag list. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |

SotC can conceivably make the semis. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
if you feel comfortable taking RDR over EarthBound then sure it can --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
ayy lmao MGS series --- Communists |
I
don't know if I'd feel confident in SotC beating RE4, but it is amazing
me how every game that could be in contention for that spot in the
final four is looking ho-hum. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! Future 2015 Guru Contest winner. |
nobody wants to face OoT in a 1-on-1 single match for 24 hours and possibly for good reason OoT will be done messing around by that point --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
all
I can think of is like, Mario RPG is clearly better than Earthbound and
MGS, probably the #1 contender at the moment, barely got 60% on
Earthbound --- xyzzy |
After Link barely lost to Draven, I feel like OoT could probably stop anything with B8 backing it --- Not changing this sig until the Bengals, Bills, Lions and Colt McCoy win the Super Bowl (10/10/10) ~User of the Year 2015~ |
Whiskey_Nick posted... After Link barely lost to Draven, I feel like OoT could probably stop anything with B8 backing it Undertale will be an interesting challenge for both sides. --- Every day the rest of your life is changed forever. |
OoT will probably have a pretty high backfire rate for Undertale ralliers, like Link did for Draven. Undertale will be pretty strong by the time it actually gets to OoT though. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
LeonhartFour posted... OoT will probably have a pretty high backfire rate for Undertale ralliers, like Link did for Draven. Exactly. It's a perfect setup for a close match with lots of back and forth. --- Every day the rest of your life is changed forever. |
I
think Undertale will have its hands full with SMW. Granted the rally
will probably be stronger, but it's apparent that the gears on Tumblr
take a while to turn. Undertale going to be in a major hole if it
doesn't get a rally going in 13 hours. The kickback will be bigger, too.
It's not like it's pulling 70% updates for the entire match. --- My name is Monica Lewinsky, and I am here to collect the rent. |
Undertale
is just really fortunate its first round opponent was ME3. If it had
been facing FO3 or SMW out of the gate, it'd have had no chance. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
I
doubt it will be anything but a fairly easy and one sided win for
Undertale when it reaches the finals. As strong as OoT, there just
aren't enough votes left to squeeze out of GameFAQs voters. Considering
Undertale's run seems to be causing people to play the game, it will
also grow in natural strength on top of bandwagon or rallying gains. --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
Credit to Whisky Nick for starting the rally that made Starcraft vs Mass Effect 2 such a great match. He's the one who got Starcraft to a 500 vote lead overnight. He created a reddit post on the Starcraft reddit that got 160 up votes at it's peak, but it fell of the main page. That's what allowed Mass Effect 2 to come back.

It
really isn't going to have its hands full. GameFAQs strength doesn't
matter anymore, we're talking that being the difference in a minuscule
proportion of votes at this level of strength - all while Undertale's
unrallied GameFAQs strength is also probably spiking up every round in a
similar proportion. All that matters is if the rally can bring the pain (...it can) and if SMW's backfire potential is enough to bail it out (it really won't be). --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Red
Dead Redemption = GTAV isn't really too crazy of an assumption,
considering that RDR was essentially wild west GTA. That'd make SotC
look pretty good for next round, and it already looked good R1. --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. |
50.95
and 55.74. That's what it got in 24 hours against far weaker games that
SMW. Unless they do something with Tumblr that they haven't done so
far, that's where it's at. --- My name is Monica Lewinsky, and I am here to collect the rent. |
damn, ct/ffx gonna be good.. --- >_______________> |

It got 50.95% against a game that wouldn't even break 40% on the game that it got 55.74% on. It's getting stronger. A lot stronger. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |

That'd make SotC look pretty good for next round, and it already looked good R1. It's a pretty crazy assumption because it makes Bayonetta 2 look decently strong and it almost certainly isn't. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Backfire
rate is definitely going to be more relevant than Gamefaqs strength
here. Naturally getting 80% instead of 75% on Undertale isn't going to
change much. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Wasn't
Tumblr already close to a majority vote share? After Undertale passes
that point, 100% GameFAQs support would be meaningless. --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
I
mean, people can keep holding out for SMW if they want! I'd love to see
it win and set up an RBY/SMW showdown to settle at least part of the
Mario hierarchy question once and for all (counting it with the SM64
match past that). But I see no reason to hold any ridiculous illusions about what's about to happen. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
backfire rate will be higher if only because Mario World is Nintendo it won't be high enough though, barring a counter-rally or tumblr just dying that day |
New Leaf had no problem taking significant chunks out of Mario World and it wasn't even the target of the rally. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |

That's like bottom 10 from GotD level. --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. |
hype for ct/ffx first big game match that isn't weighed down by Undertale --- xyzzy |
