@Nanis23 Of course. What did you expected? This is why less and less young people come here. What to do here? So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing? |
Talk about our favorite games? 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
@Nanis23 You can do that on Reddit. So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing? |
Theres not much appealing about GameFAQs in general these days for the current generation ISFJ Big on Visual Novels, Anime, Video games. Twitter: superange128 Planned 2018 Fighting Game Mains: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DgH4MCHVMAAKV9l.png |
This place isn't as much of a dumpster fire for discussion as YouTube is. "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
So
can we all at least agree that Shepard is the turd of the contest? He
looked like s*** in his first round and somehow looks worse after every
round. congrats to BKSheikah the BYIG guru |

261? [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO BKSheikah NO PEACE] |
And
in the end, gamefaqs is proving to primarily be a Nintendo board. As a
fan of Samus too, I really don’t understand her huge popularity other
than the bad ass chick in armor. It’s also interesting seeing the geographic distributions. In Japan and Russia, the votes are almost flipped. |
IIRC GameFAQs Japanese voters don't like Nintendo. CBX - Today's Winners: Samus and Mario |
AxemRedRanger posted... 261? politics board We don't even need to go to the worst board on the site for examples of this site being a dumpster fire for bad discussions, though. Smash boards usually have nonsense before release, the console boards are basically 50% trolls, etc. You felt your sins weighing down on your neck. |
snake_5036 posted... the console boards are basically 50% trolls, etc. This board is getting close to that number as well. "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima BKSheikah won Guru, but you know that. |
charmander6000 posted... IIRC GameFAQs Japanese voters don't like Nintendo. Actually, scratch that about Mario. He is still leading in Japan. Tifa, on the other hand, has close to 80% of votes in Japan o_o! (edited 11/30/2018 11:22:25 AM) |
EpsteinBarr posted... charmander6000 posted...IIRC GameFAQs Japanese voters don't like Nintendo. Metroid isn't a thing in Japan, much like Mega Man isn't a thing in the UK. "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima BKSheikah won Guru, but you know that. |
Current STATS predict a 52.5% win for Mega Man over Ganondorf and a 54% win for Bowser over Alucard. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
EpsteinBarr posted... charmander6000 posted...IIRC GameFAQs Japanese voters don't like Nintendo. Yeah, Japan does like Nintendo, but they don’t care about Metroid in the slightest. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, the 2018 Guru Contest winner. http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=40 |
The
gamefaqs voters in Japan are pretty much all weebs from the west rather
than actual Japanese people, so them being big on JRPGs would make
sense! [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO BKSheikah NO PEACE] (edited 11/30/2018 12:14:08 PM) |

so can we all agree that well Tifa did get a bad pic, there is no pic that would have won it for her? "L-Block 2007 Character Battle Champion" Always remember. "L-Block, shaped like a boot to kick your ass" |
I could buy that the pic is maybe a 1% difference for Tifa. Costing her to the win? Uh... Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
What if she was almost naked in the pic though??? So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing? |
EpsteinBarr posted... And in the end, gamefaqs is proving to primarily be a Nintendo board. As a fan of Samus too, I really don’t understand her huge popularity other than the bad ass chick in armor. The overall Metroid legacy probably does wonders to help her, and this is something that will never really be tarnished. Samus has starred in two games often considered to be among the best ever made, something which few characters can really claim. Also I think Samus gets by somewhat on because in spite of her lack of mainstream popularity, she's very recognizable to anyone with a passing familiarity to Nintendo - which is pretty much the entire demographic of a site like this. I know when I was in school I just started talking about Samus to a friend and he knew who I was talking about. "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |

EpsteinBarr posted... im317 posted...so can we all agree that well Tifa did get a bad pic, there is no pic that would have won it for her? exactly what i said? the pic might have had some effect. no picture could have won this for Tifa. not even if Zelda got a CD-I pic "L-Block 2007 Character Battle Champion" Always remember. "L-Block, shaped like a boot to kick your ass" |
Vincent
lost to Phoenix because of a pic though. Everybody knows that. Also a
lot believe that Link lost to Cloud back then because of the picture. So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing? |
For what it's worth, Tifa's match pic is on-par if not better than most of her pics in Tifa/Sephiroth in 2010. You know what that means? That's right, Mario is even stronger than you think. https://imgur.com/M1heX2g RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
Safer_777 posted... Vincent lost to Phoenix because of a pic though. Everybody knows that. Also a lot believe that Link lost to Cloud back then because of the picture. That pic is the funniest pic EVER to be in a GameFAQs contest. I mean, just LOOK at him. It looks like he tried to impersonate the really handsome and sharp Phoenix Wright, but he failed miserably. Further more, the pic makes the Vincent quote so much more fitting. XD "This [pic] is... the punishment that's been given to me." http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=15&page=8 "Ah,
a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So... what is
a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." (edited 11/30/2018 1:17:38 PM) |
That pic and the resulting backlash are exactly why Allen didn't let us make pics until there were 16 characters left. "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima BKSheikah won Guru, but you know that. |
One great thing about 2013 were the quotes for all characters in the second round. I wish we had them this contest... "Ah,
a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So... what is
a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |
im317 posted... so can we all agree that well Tifa did get a bad pic, there is no pic that would have won it for her? duh I just want mai waifu to look her best. Character Battle X Current Score: 232/304 [insert obvious "Snake?!" joke here] |
Nanis23 posted... Probably the only place on the Internet that has a board for almost any video game ever released, and it's dying It’s become the laughingstock of the online gaming community because the user base mainly consists of rabid, diehard NintenDrones in their 30s. You can’t praise other consoles or criticize Nintendo products and/or business practices without being ridiculed and moderated to hell. The administration, many of whom are diehard Nintendo cultists themselves, wanted it this way. It’s sad what this site could have been if all platforms and fanbases were given equal respect...

I wonder what Nintendo did to hurt them so. No, what's cheap is nature, making bears so much more dangerous than I. So I evened the playing field. With a door. ~Brauley on the subject of fighting bears. |

Match CXXIX: (4) Ganondorf vs. (8) Mega Man Current Contest Performance Ganondorf Defeated Neku Sakuraba, 78.60% - 21.40% Defeated Chun-Li, 58.91% - 41.09% Defeated Dante, 56.40% - 43.60% Defeated Vivi, 51.96% - 48.04% Lost to Link, 20.36% - 79.64% Mega Man Lost to Pikachu, 49.89% - 50.11% Analysis While I expected to see this match a little later in the contest, it was a struggle to choose between these two characters. A decent boost from Breath of the Wild would have placed Ganondorf within striking distance on Mega Man. After watching these two characters perform, I still think the chance for the upset is still here. I give full props to Pikachu for winning his match, but at the same time he did get 56% against Zero which I see is comparable to what Ganondorf got against Dante. While some people may look at the performance against Vivi and think both Mega Man and Pikachu should be able to do better, I remind you that this Vivi is a lot stronger than what we have seen. He easily dispatched a Donkey Kong that easily rocked his four-pack which included Tidus and Leon Kennedy. While Zelda has a bigger reason to boost from Breath of the Wild, I doubt Ganondorf would get nothing. Regardless, I suspect this match will be close, which will then set up another close encounter with Pikachu in the following round. charmander6000’s Bracket: Ganondorf > Yoshi charmander6000’s Prediction: Ganondorf wins, 50.36% - 49.64% Match CXXX: (3) Alucard vs. (4) Bowser Current Contest Performance Alucard Defeated Princess Peach, 56.81% - 43.19% Defeated Yuna, 59.62% - 40.38% Defeated Kefka, 59.44% - 40.56% Defeated Pokemon Trainer Red, 53.81% - 46.19% Lost to Cloud Strife, 39.60% - 60.40% Bowser Defeated Gordon Freeman, 77.39% - 22.61% Defeated Charizard, 56.55% - 43.45% Defeated 2B, 58.19% - 41.81% Defeated Kirby, 53.86% - 46.14% Lost to Crono, 45.12% - 54.88% Analysis On paper this should be an easy victory for Bowser, but I feel Alucard will make things quite difficult. It’s quite clear that he has boosted since the last we have saw him, even against a weaker Cloud almost breaking 40% is quite impressive. If we hold Sora constant from 2010 this match would be quite the nail-biter. Of course, it is more likely that Sora is a bit weaker now while Bowser also has reason to be slightly stronger. One of the downsides of the loser’s bracket is that it spoils the match for the championship bracket. If the match ends in a nail-biter or a blowout for one character we can pretty much deduce who wins between Cloud and Crono. If we were to make Cloud and Crono equals then Bowser would get 56.12% against Alucard, any massive deviation from that number will likely seal the victory for one of those characters. charmander6000’s Bracket: Bowser > Big Boss charmander6000’s Prediction: Bowser wins, 53.79% - 46.21% CBX - Today's Winners: Samus and Mario |
I
don't think most of us here care about GameFAQs itself (outside of
contests continuing to be run on the front page). This site is Board 8
and a bunch of garbage. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
INTERWEBUSER posted... Nanis23 posted...Probably the only place on the Internet that has a board for almost any video game ever released, and it's dying It's not just the extreme hard-on for Nintendo on this site that annoys me, it's all the Sony fanboys constantly bashing anything Microsoft related. The PC and XBO boards are all but dead, so unless you game on a Switch or a PS4, there's not much for you on this site. (edited 11/30/2018 1:56:37 PM) |
Some
game message boards here are decent. GameFAQs has a joke of a mod
team, but somehow a lot of reddits manage to be even worse, mostly due
to overmanaging content. I wouldn't come here much but there is some appeal to the site beyond b8. No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
I
still lurk other boards. Despite not having as much time to game (it's
been this way for years), I still like to keep up with gaming news, and
this is pretty much the only place I do that. Yoblazer https://imgur.com/gByqgPg |
I like contests and the boards of the games I play most of the time. So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing? |
I don't see why somebody should be mad that this place is full of 30yo nintendo fans. The 30yo nintendo fans need to hang out somewhere. Why not here? Why is it necessary for every place in the internet to be dominated by the mainstream audience? "Hey let's rally and invade board 8 to troll those 30 year olds for daring to... be 30 year olds! That will teach them!" This is stupid and no wonder why rallies are not catching up anymore. Most people don't find it offensive that a site like gameFAQs exists or feel the need to attack it. It's just some naturally toxic people like this interwebuser dude. (edited 11/30/2018 2:02:11 PM) |
ZeldaTPLink posted... The 30yo nintendo fans need to hang out somewhere I guess my issue is less with this website existing and more why this website has become something I don't associate with when it used to have a better balance of fandoms. I guess Nintendo was always dominant and the non Nintendo people for the most part were driven away by that, causing it to be even more dominant. No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
If
Square was making big-name hits like they were when this site was
young, they'd still have a sizable fandom here. It's rare for a large
fanbase to subsist on legacy alone. Yoblazer https://imgur.com/gByqgPg |
Usually the boards for smaller games are better than the big ones (especially Smash boards, those are always really bad) Like Tales games are usually alright ISFJ Big on Visual Novels, Anime, Video games.

If Mega Man loses to Ganondorf I leave this site forever He suffered enough, losing to Ganondorf would be the worst of it all 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
Lopen posted... ZeldaTPLink posted...The 30yo nintendo fans need to hang out somewhere This moment in time is probably the lowest Square has been since the merger, Konami is down, Capcom is still recovering its rep from being hated so much that their fans gave millions of dollars to have one of the biggest jokes in crowdfunding made. These are the traditional top non-Nintendo. Meanwhile Nintendo just released an incredibly hot Pokemon game, massively well-received Mario and Zelda games, and has Smash about to come out. Look at Alucard. He boosted a ton, and I have no doubt it's because of Castlevania on Netflix actually being a hot product. What is the hottest upcoming Square/Konami/Capcom? A remake that we've heard basically nothing about for years? The hottest actual upcoming game related to those companies might be Bloodstained, a game that is being made because of someone Konami drove off. https://imgur.com/M1heX2g RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( (edited 11/30/2018 2:14:51 PM) |
WarThaNemesis2 posted... What is the hottest upcoming Square/Konami/Capcom? KH3, I'd imagine. Though its hype is kind of a joke from all the delays (and probably how convoluted the series is now).

Nanis23 posted... If Mega Man loses to Ganondorf I leave this site forever If Ganon > Mega Man , Link Zelda final confirmed. That would be awful. (edited 11/30/2018 2:18:05 PM) |
