Welp,
here's to hoping that people remember 2004 with the same fondness that
we did a decade ago (at that time, it was almost at that 2001-tier). If
not, then this is a bad showing from 1994. Yoblazer http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif |
i predicted 67% here and i never even thought about taking 91 over 94 maybe i'm just overestimating 2004 |
it's so hard to say with these matches, so.. what are people expecting from 91/02? xyzzy |
abdou posted... man 2004 was an amazing year for games, really sad seeing it get blown out like this NostalgiaFAQs. Its a shame really. The 90s will always dominate this website. |
RIP my bracket. |
Would expect to see 2004 get in the 80% range on 1988. This is hardly a bad showing from 1994. All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. |
transience posted... it's so hard to say with these matches, so.. what are people expecting from 91/02? 70%+ But I think 1991 can take down 1994 and 2004 would beat 2002, so yeah. |

God that picture for 2006 is just so bad Sir Chris The Cult of Personality |
transience posted... it's so hard to say with these matches, so.. what are people expecting from 91/02? Super Mario World can solo that bracket alone. Except finals of course. Gamertag: Kegfarms, BF code: 2033480226, Treasure Cruise code 318,374,355 |

The thing with 2004 is that it was a monster year at the time.
How has it held up over the past 13 years? I dunno, but I'm pretty damn
confident that WoW, Halo 2, and Half-Life 2 - three pillars for that
year - have fallen off a cliff. The year's strongest game is in the
Mario RPG range at best, which doesn't bode well as far as anchors go.
It has incredible depth - certainly rivaling any year in the bracket -
but how much strength does that depth add when the games themselves
aren't that strong? Oh well, we'll find out in a week. I'm on the 1994 train AND I AIN'T GETTIN OFF, BABY. Yoblazer http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif |
Interesting to see 2011 make a match of it. I didn't think Zelda fanboys cared much for Skyward Sword. Then again, most people seemed tepid for TP as well. I really should get around to those games at some point. DpObliVion, my hat is off to you. Welcome to the Guru Champions Club lol xstats |
Halo
and WOW, sure - though I'd say they were never that strong here - but
Half-Life 2 has remained legit. maybe not as legit as in 09, but that
game is still the high point of FPS campaigns a decade later. xyzzy |
Clearly Gears of freakin War is bringing down 2006. RIP KH2. Dilated Chemist DpObliVion is the one true king of Guru's. |

Well, we did get Metroid Prime vs. Half-Life 2 in both GotD and BGE3, so either Half-Life 2 fell, or Metroid Prime rose quite a bit. Agent Triple Zero at your service!

Nothing in the last 2 days has changed my mind on 1991 > 1994 > the rest of this half of the division. DpObliVion, my hat is off to you. Welcome to the Guru Champions Club lol xstats |

keep climbing 2004 my bracket may be dead but I'll relish 1991 killing many other brackets |
casual bracket votes 2 line break(s), 160 characters allowed |
I feel like 2004 might have done better with Paper Mario: The Thousand Year door appearing instead of Tales of Symphonia. |
I've got 2002 in the Semis so whatever hellish vision of the world needs to happen for that to work, let's go with that. Sir Chris The Cult of Personality |
man I'm very confident in 1994 and I predicted 64% here 2004 beats every year in the contest after 2001, probably xyzzy |

We never had a really good read on Super Metroid in the past, but I think the rise of speedrunning popularity definitely helped it out in that regard. Super Metroid is in the top 3 speedrunning games, with Mario 64 and OoT right behind it. DpObliVion, my hat is off to you. Welcome to the Guru Champions Club lol xstats |

Torn between voting to save my bracket and voting for Skyward Sword DpObliVion has fought mudcrabs more fearsome than my bracket! |
transience posted... Super Metroid rose to heaven that contest. I bet Metroid Prime did too. Eh, I'm not totally convinced those two are joined at the hip like that. I think HL2 has dropped off a bit as people have become disillusioned with the idea that HL3 is probably never happening. |
hylianknight3 posted... voting for Skyward Sword do that |
Super Metroid went from 50% on Super Mario Kart to 50% on Majora's Mask. that isn't close to the same as before. xyzzy |
transience posted... Super Metroid went from 50% on Super Mario Kart to 50% on Majora's Mask. that isn't close to the same as before. 4-ways are weird and Super Mario Kart is probably legit |
MGS3 and HL2 are losing What the f*** is wrong with this site FFX-3 teaser: http://abload.de/img/kciksbombttsvx.gif |
Lead change is coming Best Year in Gaming - Today's Winners: 1994 and 2006 Current Bracket Score: 14/14 |
LeonhartFour posted... transience posted...Super Metroid rose to heaven that contest. I bet Metroid Prime did too. I realize I framed the question as has Metroid Prime risen, or HL2 fallen, when it reality it's probably a mix of both. But BGE3 happened when a lot of people were making Half-Life 3 confirmed jokes.

That cut. Go mah 2011. |
Revelation34 posted... creativename posted...Revelation34 posted...I know it just started but I found it funny both are at 100% right now. The early results always show 100% each even though detailed results show the real, different numbers. Results were almost definitely not actually 100% at the time you checked. |
top 15 legit? I dunno if it is, then Mario Kart 64 is probably top 10-12 and 1997 is going to maul 2001 xyzzy (edited 5/8/2017 9:27:10 PM) |
