Loosely as in I should play them in release order? Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://www.twitch.tv/ultimaterializerx ; http://i.imgur.com/dsnL40n.png |
They're three different series with I think very vague connections that probably aren't canon? Xenogears, and Xenoblade 1 and kinda-sorta 2 (not X though) are the most popular and beloved of those games, for what it's worth. Not_Wylvane |
Yeah, there’s some similar iconography and themes across all the games but ultimately they aren’t related plot-wise. |
manual tag Is this Elite Beat Agents 2? |
tag |
Contra's playrate reaches an all-time new high with 60.40% playrate, beating out the previous high of 56.70% back on 4/5/2007. Xenogears has also set a new record playrate on this site with 37.07% playrate. It has been trending upwards in every single Xenogears poll since the start of 2013. Both results have been added to this page. http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Have_You_Played Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! |
Bump. This was not the best year for my bracket. Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest! |
Wait, the Vita's only six years old? Feels like it's been around longer than that. |
Portal vs. Red Dead Redemption who wins? "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
LeonhartFour posted... Wait, the Vita's only six years old? Glad it sometimes feels this way around. Like it definitely feels like people born after the DS released shouldn't be allowed to post here legally yet, but that's possible. Ctesjbuvf posting on his phone. |

Who wins the threeway between F.L.U.D.D., Cappy, and Luigi's Vacuum? Not_Wylvane |
Cappy SFFes FLUDD into last place. The Poltergust takes second place by virtue of not talking or being alive. "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima BKSheikah won Guru, but you know that. |

There's been more time between FFX's release and now than between FFI's release and FFX's. Also next year FFX can vote. Not_Wylvane |

(Really late) Tag I was somehow so occupied with Save My Pokemon and other things that I came to realize just until now that I wasn't receiving any notifications from this topic. Also... LinkMarioSamus posted... Portal vs. Red Dead Redemption who wins? Depends on how strong Portal 1 is now in comparison to 2. Here lies the sig of BK_Sheikah00, who swore fealty to the Gurus of Board 8. |
It's hard to vote for your favorite winter sport when they don't transmit them in your area... Here lies the sig of BK_Sheikah00, who swore fealty to the Gurus of Board 8. |
After
the GameFAQs switch to a subdomain of GameSpot, we now have a total of
15 polls to compare vote totals to the polls before the switch. Average vote totals before the switch - 12720 Average vote totals after the switch - 12821 There's almost no difference whatsoever. It's impossible to say for sure if the GameFAQs subdomain change has affected our vote totals.

I'm here to do the impossible: Switching subdomains has changed our vote totals by less than 1%. Nominate METAL MAN for 20XX! http://i.imgur.com/Dr4NAeq.png |

fun fact Super Smash Bros. Brawl is now as old as Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was during the very first contest |
please stop you're making me feel like i've decayed and become naught but a skeleton Is this Elite Beat Agents 2? |
during the first contest (for which I was not here) I was half the age I am about to be in a week and a half |
I beat my first FF game ever 24 years after it was released, and 31 years after the series was released (FFVI, two weeks ago) IGN: Caio FC: 1865-0018-0383 |
I
played my first NES game ever, Super Mario Bros., 23 years after its
release, while simoultaneously finding out about the existence of the
afformentioned system and that SMW wasn't SMB as I wrongly remembered my
whole childhood. Here lies the sig of BK_Sheikah00, who swore fealty to the Gurus of Board 8. |
No but seriously when's the next bracket battle Not_Wylvane |
Not_Wylvane posted... No but seriously when's the next bracket battle Should have more votes... Here lies the sig of BK_Sheikah00, who swore fealty to the Gurus of Board 8. |
I'd vote for it if it wouldn't be a lie about checking the results before voting |
Bump This was not the best year for my bracket. Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest! |
Finally, we have a playrate poll for Pokemon RBY: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/7002- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! |
sorry Yellow is not included in this poll |
I
see that as only an extremely minor flaw. I imagine those who played
Yellow (but not Red or Blue) will still vote in the poll because it's
mostly the same game minus some small differences. At the freeze, RBY has a playrate of 77.94%. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! |
those people would be intellectually dishonest |
It can't really be considered a RBY playrate poll but a RB poll is not a bad thing. Ctesjbuvf posting on his phone. |
What percent of the fourth option played Yellow? I wonder if there's even a way to estimate. |
Even if we added Yellow we'd still be snubbing the people who've only played Green! Not_Wylvane |
Not_Wylvane posted... Even if we added Yellow we'd still be snubbing the people who've only played Green! Japanese Green = International Blue, so not really. I have a signature now. Signatures are cool. |
bwburke94 posted... Not_Wylvane posted...Even if we added Yellow we'd still be snubbing the people who've only played Green! Wrong. Japanese Green (and Red) were the initial releases of the game. The developers then made some fixes and changes and released the updated version as Pokemon Blue in Japan. The Japanese Pokemon Blue was used for the International Red & Blue that we all know so well.

Are we really getting into this over one of my smart-ass comments? Not_Wylvane |
we're bored and Pokemon is serious business (edited 2/28/2018 9:55:47 AM) |

Pokemon
RBY finished with a playrate of 78.58% a few days ago. The poll
question didn't mention Yellow for one very good reason - this was a
poll for the 20th anniversary of the US release date of Red/Blue, so it
would make sense to exclude Yellow in the poll question. Despite this, I
decided to treat this as an RBY poll. This is only an extremely minor
flaw and likely doesn't affect the playrate that much. The new result has been added to this page: http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Have_You_Played Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! (edited 3/2/2018 2:09:52 PM) |
Why? I mean, why don't you just treat the poll for what it actually was. Ctesjbuvf posting on his phone. |
it's odd that this is the one situation where Luster isn't pedantic about details |
