With any justice in the world, Wind Waker would bury it at sea. As is, Twilight Princess wins in a close-but-not-really-in-question fashion. Nominate METAL MAN for 20XX! https://imgur.com/Dr4NAeq |

ALttP > RBY > SM64 > (Melee >) BotW > FFVI > MM That's quite a list considering MM was almost worth 48% on LttP. |

Honestly, everything from around the top 10 to around the top 25 are probably jammed really close together. |
GotD 2 is around the corner |
Majora's
Mask seemed to benefit from tumblr spillover that match. IIRC It was
neck and neck with Link to the Past for the first couple hours or so and
then pretty much laid down and died. [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO BKSheikah NO PEACE] |
Even
if we ignored the first 12 hours of that match, A Link to the Past only
managed to get 53.08% on Majora's Mask during the last 12 hours of the
match. This isn't too much higher than its overall percentage of
52.39%. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! |
bump This page http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/GameFAQs_contest doesn't have the Years contest listed in the Sailor Bacon Era. Also, on this page http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Fall_2015_Contest it says "MGSV > Dark Souls" but Dark Souls actually won against that match. Might wanna correct this, if it matters. |

When
GameFAQs became a subdomain of GameSpot, it seems as though Alexa's
traffic rankings have decided to combine GameFAQs and GameSpot's traffic
together. https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/gamefaqs.com https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/gamespot.com The traffic ranking of GameFAQs has fallen off a cliff. Here are the traffic graphs for both GameFAQs and GameSpot: https://traffic.alexa.com/graph?u=gamefaqs.com https://traffic.alexa.com/graph?u=gamespot.com GameFAQs had a drop-off in its traffic ranking around the time of the subdomain change. GameSpot's traffic ranking also increased at the same time of the change. As a result of the subdomain change, GameSpot's traffic ranking increased from around 700 to 300. Of course, it's now impossible to view Alexa traffic stats for just GameFAQs alone, because this URL won't work at all: https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/gamefaqs.gamespot.com That URL will redirect to https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/gamespot.com instead.

Dragon
Age shouldn't be in the poll because it's not a 'dead' series, the 4th
entry has been confirmed to be in development by several Bioware
employees on Twitter, it just hasn't been officially announced yet. If
anything it's Mass Effect that needs reviving ;/ ... |
spooky96 posted... lol oops yeah, will do it when I get back home. I took care of this myself since you still didn't get around to editing it. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! |
Yeah, Dragon Age is a weird choice here. |
I always felt that a series needed a 10 year gap before it is considered dead. So most of those options don't apply IMO. Congratulations to BKSheikah for winning the guru |
charmander6000 posted... I always felt that a series needed a 10 year gap before it is considered dead. So most of those options don't apply IMO. Well I don't see a bright future for Castlevania for how Konami has been handling its IPs the last few years. It also has been going downhill with the Lords of Shadow series, and there hasn't been a single portable game since... Order of Ecclesia, I think (which was exactly 10 years ago).

LusterSoldier posted... spooky96 posted...lol oops yeah, will do it when I get back home. Thanks, I gave my laptop to the HR department (like every month so that they can process with the attendence/salary more easily). I only have my work's PC every now and then. Couldn't find a link to the Years contest in the entire wiki even though I know it was there somewhere because I read it like twice <_< |

Pokemon is the real turd here 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
Nanis23 posted... Pokemon is the real turd here Still, pretty good for a handheld game. |
spooky96 posted... Still, pretty good for a handheld game. Pokemon for Switch is technically a console game. It marks the first time that a mainline Pokemon game will be playable on a big screen TV, even though it could also be played in portable mode as well. Also, Pokemon Generation 8 looks much better in today's poll compared to this poll from a year ago: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/6732- Of course, that was before we learned that the next Pokemon game will be for Switch.

I wasn't aware that it's confirmed that Pokemon Gen 8 will be on the Switch *_* Our base is under attack! |
Pokemon
was playable on console on a big screen tv all the way back to red and
green's release and those games had color palette shifts specifically
programmed for it. Crystal was the first game that wasn't, which was
fixed later. Don't think diamond/ pearl and beyond ever got home console
playable, though. [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO BKSheikah NO PEACE] |
spooky96 posted... I wasn't aware that it's confirmed that Pokemon Gen 8 will be on the Switch *_* Technically, all that's confirmed is that the next games will be on Switch, not that they'll be Gen 8. All your old meme are belong to me. |
I played Pokemon Blue on the big screen thanks to my Super Game Boy |
Message From Ultima_X on 05/07/2018 So back in 2010, you guys ran a really cool contest idea: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/features/gotd Will we be getting another one of those in 2020? Game of the Decade was a BLAST. That's definitely something to re-rack. Message From GameFAQs on 05/11/2018 We don't really plan that far in advance for these things.

AxemRedRanger posted... Pokemon was playable on console on a big screen tv all the way back to red and green's release and those games had color palette shifts specifically programmed for it. Crystal was the first game that wasn't, which was fixed later. Don't think diamond/ pearl and beyond ever got home console playable, though. That technically requires the use of an accessory to pull off, which not everyone had. The Pokemon Switch game will be the first one that will be widely playable on a big screen TV, and no accessories will be required to do this. bwburke94 posted... Technically, all that's confirmed is that the next games will be on Switch, not that they'll be Gen 8. It was confirmed that they will be "core series games". They don't use the terminology "generations" to refer to the mainline Pokemon games, so "core series games" clearly means a mainline Pokemon game.

Looks like a higher up retroactively tagged this Courage is the magic that turns dreams into reality. |
LusterSoldier posted... It was confirmed that they will be "core series games". They don't use the terminology "generations" to refer to the mainline Pokemon games, so "core series games" clearly means a mainline Pokemon game. That still doesn't mean they're Gen 8. They could be part of 7, though I admit it's unlikely. They might be this generation's Colosseum/XD. No one reads signatures. |

It
used to exist. But I kinda stopped paying attention to the development
of the feature a while ago so I was surprised to find out that you can't
anymore. This was not the best year for my bracket. Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest! |
This
is a horrible feature. why allow the gaming boards to be flooded with
ridiculous off-topics? it doesn't benefit anyone. we already have boards
that allow social discussions and all sorts of specific topics like
sports and sex and politics. No reason to ruin every gaming board.. ... |
The
social board system wasn't particularly good to begin with. Telling a
user on a board to go to one of the dedicated social board didn't make
any sense. To begin with I can't in good conscience recommend a user go
to CE or the politics boards. But on top of that they don't want to talk
with random CE users, they want to talk with the other people they met
on the game board. One of the solutions to that was to create a social
split board. However, the social board community pretty quickly drifts
away as a separate community and new users on the board are once again
stuck without a way to make social topics with the other users they've
met on the board. That brings us to the current system which is flooding many game boards with social topics. In theory it lets users on the board make social topics with other users on the game board. I've only checked a few boards but it seems like it is working there. The problem you can't just exclude all the off topic topics at the moment. Changing your topic to only show the General topics sort of work but defeats the purpose of all the other flairs. Are you seeing any other problems when browsing the game board under General only? Edit: I just realized that the filters are not saved if you browse away from the page and come back. That is pretty annoying. This was not the best year for my bracket. Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest! (edited 5/17/2018 8:24:30 PM) |

No reason to ruin every gaming board.. Some of the most popular game boards are currently being heavily polluted with topics that are flaired as "Off-Topic". I'm hoping this will be a passing fad and die down in a few days. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! |

A little off topic, but...whoa, this topic has a [contest discussion] tag on it now. That's shiny. Cats
land on their feet. Toast lands peanut butter side down. A cat with

It'd be funny if we got the Contest Discussion tag and then never had a contest ever again. Not_Wylvane |
Not_Wylvane posted... It'd be funny if we got the Contest Discussion tag and then never had a contest ever again. Allen is shaking his fist at the monitor right now because you figured out his plan. Now he's going to have to run a real contest just to prove you wrong.

I'm so sorry Allen Not_Wylvane |
