HaRRicH posted... Super Mario 64 has long been my favorite game, but 1997's got some top-tier PS1 games and several great N64 games for support too...couldn't vote against it. Same. 97 might not have a ton of games in my top 20 (maybe just FFVII), but it has quite a few in my top 100 FFVII Goldeneye SotN Star Fox Diddy Kong Racing All games I love. I may even vote for it over 98 in the finals. Yoblazer http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif |
Wow, go 1997! It really does deserve to be in the finals IMO. Amazing year. charmander6000 posted... Match XXX – Round 3 – 1997 vs. 1996 Wait, you were expecting 1997 with 56% and still think 2000 would've beat it? That'd be quite the pic effect. Possible, but I think it might be too much. |
Still going up! DpObliVion has fought mudcrabs more fearsome than my bracket! |
If 1998 lets something break 30% on it, it's toast |
1997
had to be hurt by the pic factor last round as it only had an
unimpressive 70.98% on 2007 while it could come close to 70% on 1996
this round. And everyone would assume 1996 is much stronger than 2007. 1997 would have done better in the first 2 rounds if PaRappa got replaced for either Mario Kart 64 or Star Fox 64.

And everyone would assume 1996 is much stronger than 2007. I think 97 did fine with it's first round pic. Having SOTN and FFVII as the first two slots was critical. That probably matters more than having it's fourth strongest game being Parappa or Star Fox. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for 2017 Guru champion. |
Maybe 2007 is really a beast |
This would have been the best set-up 1996 could dream of: Super Mario 64 -------- Super Mario RPG(edited 5/16/2017 9:37:22 PM) |
LusterSoldier posted... 1997 had to be hurt by the pic factor last round as it only had an unimpressive 70.98% on 2007 I thought 71% was pretty good! That's about where I pegged it and I have 1997 in the finals. I just don't think 1996 is a top tier year. 2000 might have been a step above, but it's hard to imagine the pic factor being able to overcome this even if it had gotten balanced pics. (edited 5/16/2017 9:37:56 PM) |
Doubling achieved. 1996 currently needs to be able to get 58.05% on 1992 for 1997 = 1998 |
LeonhartFour posted... for the record that was a 70% update so it might get uglier still I think 1996 and 1992 probably aren't too far apart, so 1998 should still 60/40 1997. |
creativename posted... Wait, you were expecting 1997 with 56% and still think 2000 would've beat it? That'd be quite the pic effect. Possible, but I think it might be too much. To be fair I bumped 1997 a few percent points when I found out Resident Evil wasn't going to be in the picture. Best Year in Gaming - Today's Winner: 2000 (oops) Current Bracket Score: 37/40 |
I don't think RE1 is worth that much! FFVII would slaughter it directly. |
HaRRicH posted... Super Mario 64 has long been my favorite game, but 1997's got some top-tier PS1 games and several great N64 games for support too...couldn't vote against it. I voted 96 but I honestly think both of these years represent kind of a lull in gaming for me. There's a grand total of 0 all-time favorites between the two and barely like 20 at most games each year I have any interest in playing. I think it's tragic but not surprising they respectively beat my two favorite years in gaming (2000 and 2007). Anyways results here are unsurprising. 97's pics destroy 96. RIP in Pieces GamerJM, 2007-2015. You will be missed. #UnPermabanJim |
pjbasis posted... Maybe 2007 is really a beast The 2000's years in general are stronger relative to the 90's than I would've expected pre-contest. Especially the 2010's. GameFAQs users may have stopped gaming much (or at, *homepage visiting* GameFAQsers), but they seem to be aware of which modern games have a good rep. |
LeonhartFour posted... I don't think RE1 is worth that much! FFVII would slaughter it directly. It is 1996's third strongest game and I only bumped 1997 by 2% so I think it was a fair trade Besides, I'm off by like 10% so clearly I misjudged 1997. Best Year in Gaming - Today's Winner: 2000 (oops) Current Bracket Score: 37/40 |
_SJimW_ posted... HaRRicH posted...Super Mario 64 has long been my favorite game, but 1997's got some top-tier PS1 games and several great N64 games for support too...couldn't vote against it. "Barely like 20"?! That sounds like a lot to me! And this result isn't because of pics. |
charmander6000 posted... It is 1996's third strongest game which is why it's getting crushed |
2001 looks toast next round Started from the bottom now we here |
this is obviously 199 sff 2001 has totally different digits, so it will be fine For your SuperNiceDog. At least Kupo has class and doesn't MESSAGE the people -Dr Pizza |
Honestly
though, Resident Evil would have looked so unflattering if Bacon took
the one pic made for it, so I don't think 96 is losing much by not
having it here. Besides, RE isn't the real snub here, it's the N64 console itself. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for 2017 Guru champion. |
_SecretSquirrel posted... Honestly though, Resident Evil would have looked so unflattering if Bacon took the one pic made for it, so I don't think 96 is losing much by not having it here. Though it's unspoken, I think the decision was made not to include console pics. So 1996 never had a chance to get that sort of support. |
Wouldn't
discount the possibility of SFF between 98 and 92. It would be really
nice if the latest shift made FFVII strong again. September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! |
Man,
what a thrashing. I was making headway in the top 50 too, but I don't
see 2001 beating 1997 now. This picture really hits home how good 1997
was. I was banking on nostalgia for Super Mario 64 and the N64 being
released to make it look stronger than it should be based on it's list
of releases. Maybe if 2001 gets the best possible picture and 1997 gets a worse picture than this round, then it's close. |
2001 needs to hope the picture format changes, I think. With 8 pics 1997's quality is clear. What would people predict for a 1992 vs. 1996 match? |
LTTP and SM64 are even, and I guess that's more or less how the years would go. September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! |
It's gonna be 1997 vs 1998 for the final round, because it'll be FFVII vs. Ocarina of Time taking all the attention as always. |
Hypothetical time, how strong are 1997 and 1998 relative to the rest of the field if FF7 and OoT are taken out of the equation? DpObliVion, my hat is off to you. Welcome to the Guru Champions Club lol xstats |
Maetch posted... It's gonna be 1997 vs 1998 for the final round, because it'll be FFVII vs. Ocarina of Time taking all the attention as always. I know, I remember when FFVII and Ocarina met in the finals of the last two contests. They really should give other games a chance, right. Agent Triple Zero at your service!

pjbasis posted... If 1998 lets something break 30% on it, it's toast 97 will break 30 % on it. Maybe 40 if 97 has a good day. Let's be real. 97 is getting a ton of n64 support as well. A lot of. 64 fans would vote 97 over 96. Just like me. The lineup is stronger. All 96 has is mario 64. 97 has got Turok,mK goldeneye diddy Kong star fox 64. 96 was a pretty Barron year for games tbh. 98 however is a different story. It's basically going to be OoT vs ffvii and we all know how that turns out these days. (edited 5/16/2017 11:39:06 PM) |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... Hypothetical time, how strong are 1997 and 1998 relative to the rest of the field if FF7 and OoT are taken out of the equation? 97 would be a lot weaker. Wouldn't go past round 2. 98 would still be the favourite. Pokemon metal gear and the vast amount of stellar pc games alone would push it above every other year. But it would be close. |
_SecretSquirrel posted... Maetch posted...It's gonna be 1997 vs 1998 for the final round, because it'll be FFVII vs. Ocarina of Time taking all the attention as always. They probably would have if it wasn't for rallies. Maybe chrono trigger would gotten to finals but let's not act like that didn't get rallied either. It did. ff7 and OoT are the two most popular games on this site and have been since the birth of the site. They will be for a long time to come as well. |
Agent M posted... Man, what a thrashing. I was making headway in the top 50 too, but I don't see 2001 beating 1997 now. This picture really hits home how good 1997 was. I was banking on nostalgia for Super Mario 64 and the N64 being released to make it look stronger than it should be based on it's list of releases. Why would n64 fans vote for 96 over 97 though? Doesn't make sense. I mean some will. But 97 has virtually a ton of ps1 support. I'd say the n64 fan base is split. Hence why 97 is dominant. |
creativename posted... pjbasis posted...Maybe 2007 is really a beast Is this true? 62% still play 11+ hours a week: https://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/6296-how-many-hours-of-video-games-do-you-play-a-week Roughly half buy majority digital, a recent trend: https://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/6583-of-the-last-10-games-youve-bought-how-many-were-digital 69% play two or more different games per week: https://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/6647-how-many-different-games-have-you-played-in-the-last-week 85% own or will soon get a current console: https://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/6629-by-the-end-of-this-year-which-of-the-three-current-consoles I don't think they're out of touch at all! I just decided to change this sig. So yeah. |
Damn. At least I feel better about 2000 losing now since it would've been clobbered by 97 anyway. Not_Wylvane |
Leon I need some goddamn xstats also curious how we look with the vote in years add the c and back away iphonesience |
So it has been 7 years since an entry from FF 7 has reached the finals? I thought that FF always wins? As for today I think it does better than expected. Nice. Why do we exist? What happens when we stop existing? What is Life? |
68% now and STILL going up. I have to admit, I really am impressed with 1997 here. Yay - DpObliVion is the guru champion of awesomeness. |
X-Stats will have to wait until after I get home from work. |
without doing any math: 97 - 50 96 - 31 00 - 30 07 - 30 90 - 24 99 - 23 that seems weird. not going to call SFF on any unusual result but that seems weird. I'd like to see some projections based on 97/98, like 55/45 or whatever. add the c and back away iphonesience |
Not_Wylvane posted... Damn. At least I feel better about 2000 losing now since it would've been clobbered by 97 anyway. Yeah but 2000 would've put up a better fight at least. It's 8 games would have looked like The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask Final Fantasy IX Diablo II Pokémon Gold/Silver Perfect Dark Chrono Cross Deus Ex Marvel vs. Capcom 2 |
1999 is better than both of these years. Gamefaqs users are weird. If you ran the world, it would probably be on fire right now. |
charmander6000 posted... 34.SBAllen - 38 my reaction when i looked at the leaderboard was right out of the ending of The Usual Suspects xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
Wow if i get 91 right tomorrow i'll probably be back on the board. |
BarbaricAvatar posted... 1999 is better than both of these years. Gamefaqs users are weird. What n64 games did 99 have? |
Wow didn't think 96 would get blown out this bad. Seeing DpOblivion win the Guru Contest... ...it fills me with determination. |

RPGlord95 posted... Yuri_LowelI posted...BarbaricAvatar posted...1999 is better than both of these years. Gamefaqs users are weird. so not a lot at all. |
I
don't understand why 1997 is beating 1996 so badly. N64 and Super Mario
64 came out that year. SM64 was revolutionary. Is it cause FF7 and
Goldeney came out in 1997? I won't see you end as ashes. You're all Diamonds. |
97 is winning because people understand SOTN is incredible. (edited 5/17/2017 8:19:33 AM) |
