Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1263
Not_Wylvane posted... I'm with Leonhart here. It'd be boring as s*** and honestly we could just do it now with a "Best Playstation poll" and then put SNES/PS2/PC together for "Best Overall Console?" We should also have a poll for the Microsoft/Sega/Atari systems (the other major console makers at some point during the overall history of video games) if we're going to have a Best PlayStation poll. Then we'll have a poll featuring Atari 2600, SNES, Genesis, PS2, Xbox 360 and PC to get an overall winner.

Does Uncharted 4 still beat DS3 once we hit the GotY poll? Current Let's Play: Stardew Valley http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3767836 |
Uncharted
4 was released about 1 month later than DS3. Whatever advantage
Uncharted 4 gets from being the more recent game will be extremely
minimal or non-existent, considering both games will be least 7 months
old by the time the GotY polls begin. Both games were released in the
first half of the year and they both have to be concerned about the big
blockbuster games coming out near the end of this year (which will have a
strong recent factor going for them). Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as DpObliVion, Guru Champ! |
Go my ZTD ...which is the only game I've gotten around to playing in the poll (with Fates and Bravely Second sitting on my desk) Ralliers' determination can't even hold a birthday candle to the blazing flame of DpOblivion's winning spirit! |
Poor SFV, getting doubled by a game that just came out this week |

Sun/Moon being this close to FF15 shows how dead FF is Congrats DpObliVion for wrecking gurus |

I think RBY beats FF7 52-48 And there could be a lead change, just 5 vote difference >_> Congrats DpObliVion for wrecking gurus |
At
some point during the day of June 28th's poll, the poll graphs got an
update and all previous polls were retroactively updated to the new
format. The new graphs look like this: http://i.imgur.com/7ftT0vF.png You might not notice much, but the hours were updated to say 00:00, 02:00, 04:00, etc instead of 0, 2, 4, etc on the x-axis. Also, the graphs will respect your computer's timezone setting. So even though that screenshot shows the poll starting at 00:00, someone on Pacific Time will see the graph starting at 21:00 instead. The new graphs now use 5 minute updates instead of 6 minute updates. Finally, the graphs won't get all screwy when we have polls that run for more than 24 hours, either because of a poll glitch or from the November DST change (which normally causes a poll to run for 25 hours).

UltimaterializerX posted... Don't know about that. RBY probably gets that on FF7, if not beat it outright. You know perfectly well that modern Pokemon is entirely different strength wise than RBY and GSC, and that Sun and Moon are in no position to change that. Whereas Final Fantasy doesn't have that huge a gap, at least if limited to the "big" games (FF6-10), and 15 has enough hype to be close-ish to them for now. This should be Litten's final evolution: http://i.imgur.com/jjJjOLW.jpg |

I really, really hate these polls, we should have these much less frequently, like once a year. Congrats DpObliVion for wrecking gurus |
We
get these polls twice a year, so reducing them to once a year would be
better overall and free up a few days for other potentially interesting
poll ideas. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as DpObliVion, Guru Champ! |
It's
gonna be especially boring since the only relevant polls will be the
PS4 and maaaaaybe the PC ones. Handhelds and Wii U are on their way out
and Xbone hasn't caught on at all here. Current Let's Play: Stardew Valley http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3767836 |
Well the Vita will never get a successor, so maybe it can stay relevant longer than it would have This should be Litten's final evolution: http://i.imgur.com/jjJjOLW.jpg |

LeonhartFour posted... FFXV now getting 55% on Pokemon. It's still an improvement over a similar poll from a few weeks ago. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/6365- http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/6382- There are a total of 6 games that appeared in both of those polls, so I was able to use those games to compare how Pokemon Sun/Moon performed. Pokemon Sun/Moon's percentage vs. the following games: Battlefield 1 - 64.35% in the first poll, 79.15% in the second poll Final Fantasy XV - 40.07% in the first poll, 45.18% in the second poll South Park - 53.36% in the first poll, 68.32% in the second poll The Last Guardian - 65.57% in the first poll, 74.56% in the second poll Watch Dogs 2 - 84.96% in the first poll, 92.45% in the second poll Pokemon Sun/Moon performed much better in yesterday's poll than the poll that featured games shown at E3. It's possible for Pokemon to have improved its performance because Zelda wasn't in yesterday's poll (thus no LFF/SFF), but we've seen in the past that Pokemon is generally unaffected by LFF/SFF from the presence of any Nintendo games/characters besides having more Pokemon in the poll. Zelda seemed to be unaffected by LFF as it obliterated FFXV a few weeks ago (more than a doubling).

3DS
ownership increases to 72.03%, finishing just 0.11% away from the DS's
all-time highest ownership mark. The 3DS should end up with a higher
ownership than the DS when we have another 3DS ownership poll near the
end of this year. Vita ownership increases to 38.56%. It has been slowly rising in every poll so far and has really struggled far worse than the PSP. Vita probably won't ever reach 50% ownership by the time Sony discontinues the Vita or releases their next handheld successor. The ownership spreadsheet has been updated with the previous 2 polls: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1iMtyUuzmT5ggmYy-xbiGf7fcloXuhkQuu4ZIC2nGI4M/pub OrangeCrush980 posted... You know what we haven't gotten for awhile? A Xenogears playrate poll Well, we already had a Xenogears playrate poll earlier this year, so it's too early for another one now. Although we somehow had 2 Xenogears playrate polls back in 2013. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as DpObliVion, Guru Champ! |
PS4
ownership increases to 62.38%. With the recent PS4 ownership poll, the
PS4 has managed to break 60% ownership in under 3 years. While that
seems impressive, the original Wii reached 60% ownership in under 2
years. Xbox One ownership increases to 23.32%, an increase of less than 1% since the previous poll near the end of last year. It seems like the Xbox One will struggle to gain more ownership for the rest of its life cycle much like what is happening with the Vita. Xbox One might not even reach 40% ownership on this site. Updated spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1iMtyUuzmT5ggmYy-xbiGf7fcloXuhkQuu4ZIC2nGI4M/pub As of right now, the Wii U has 57.01% ownership, so it seems likely that it will finish this poll with over 50% ownership no matter what happens later tonight when the night vote kills the Wii U.

-LusterSoldier- posted... As of right now, the Wii U has 57.01% ownership, so it seems likely that it will finish this poll with over 50% ownership no matter what happens later tonight when the night vote kills the Wii U. Looks like the night vote killed the Wii U worse than I thought. Despite the 57.01% ownership at the freeze, this already dropped down to 53.34% at the end of the first hour. After that first hour, ownership did rise a little bit (up to 53.88% at 1:35 AM) before dropping again. The Wii U's night vote was enough for it to lose over 4% ownership over the course of the night and is now sitting at 48.99% ownership. The only thing that could help the Wii U get back up to 50% ownership might be the day vote as a result of the US/Canada.

How
well do you think Pokemon GO will do in GotY? Wins mobile poll with
like 90% or whatever, but will it make the top 3? I imagine Wii U/3DS
picks will be non-issues this year. e: NM, forgot Sun/Moon is coming out this year so GO is probably f***ed there. Should still be hilarious to watch it in the mobile poll though. Current Let's Play: Stardew Valley http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3767836 (edited 7/9/2016 6:34:47 AM)report |
My projected GotY winners for Mobile/3DS/Wii U: Mobile - Pokemon GO 3DS - Pokemon Sun/Moon Wii U - Pokken Tournament or Star Fox Zero Assuming Pokken Tournament wins the Wii U poll, that would mean 3 Pokemon games in the overall GotY poll. This could result in Pokemon Sun/Moon getting hurt by LFF and maybe a shot at winning GotY this year. Pokemon GO should be a non-factor in the overall GotY poll, as it won't do well enough to hurt Pokemon Sun/Moon significantly. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as DpObliVion, Guru Champ! |
Pokemon GO has better chances at hurting Sun/Moon than Pokken. No matter your determination, you will never be good enough to be both the Last Man Standing and the top Guru in 2015 like DpOblivion! |
Will there be three games stronger than LFF Sun/Moon? Congrats to DpObliVion for winning the guru. |
Most definitely not three. No matter your determination, you will never be good enough to be both the Last Man Standing and the top Guru in 2015 like DpOblivion! |
I
really would love Pokemon Go in a games contest. I feel like "phone
games" are the one rally we haven't seen that's long overdue. Can you
imagine the hilarity of one of those freemium was games winning a
contest here? Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest Enjoy forum mafia? Come play! http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/1016-forum-mafia |
Problem
is I don't think the hype is going to last long enough to propel it to
victory in another games contest. That and I don't really see the
audience for it going out of their way to vote for it over RBY anyway. As always, it'll depend on the bracket layout. Pokemon GO does have one hell of a chance to actually win a match depending on the opponent, something I can't say about any other mobile game.

Can you imagine the hilarity of one of those freemium was games winning a contest here? By the time we get another Games Contest, Pokemon GO probably won't be relevant anymore. Games have the best chance of getting a rally when they are still fairly recent. If we had gotten the previous BGE contest in late 2016 instead of last year, Pokemon GO might have a very good chance of getting a rally and winning the contest.

There's no chance Pokemon GO could beat RBY Ralliers' determination can't even hold a birthday candle to the blazing flame of DpOblivion's winning spirit! |
Rallied
voters don't really care that much about what the opponent of the
rallied entry is. If Pokemon Go gets a rally, it steamrolls RBY. My bracket got smashed by DpObliVion. Congrats to DpObliVion for winning the BGE15 Guru Contest! |
That
would be true in a normal match, but GO vs RBY is special in that most
of the appeal of GO is based on people's nostalgia for the original
games. Ralliers' determination can't even hold a birthday candle to the blazing flame of DpOblivion's winning spirit! |
We've
never seen a rallied entry face off against another opponent that has
massive fanbase overlap before. So if that Pokemon GO vs. RBY match
ever happened very late in the contest, we can't be certain that RBY
ends up stealing some of GO's support. For Pokemon GO to get rallied all the way to a contest win, the easiest way is to simply avoid any other Pokemon games in the bracket and hope for some lucky bracket placement that could knock out RBY before it even runs into Pokemon GO.
