Halo Reach deserves this win. It was a fantastic game. |
I
expected Life is Strange to win, how is it losing, isn't the general
consensus preferring it? better rating overall and more acclaim? |
ShortReplies posted... I expected Life is Strange to win, how is it losing, isn't the general consensus preferring it? better rating overall and more acclaim?Halo is just a vastly more popular series, and LiS is too much of an acquired taste If
you're only on this board to whine about "SJWs", please redirect
whatever you type on to the nearest trash can. And hop in after it. |
Symphonia
is regarded as the FFVII of the Tales of series, for many reasons,
including contest strength. I picked Berseria in hopes of it being some
sort of FFXII, contest-wise. Turns out it's more like a FFXIII-2... It's an honor being part of Board 8's community. (edited 3/26/2020 8:33:02 PM) |
I used to keep track of sale figures of Tales games. Back in 2012 they looked like this: North American Tales Sales Figures As of June 26, 2012: Tales of Symphonia - 470,253 Tales of Vesperia - 144,354 Tales of Vesperia LE - 6944 Tales of Symphonia 2 - 136,695 Tales of Phantasia - 88,235 Tales of Legendia - 83,343 Tales of the Abyss - 72,192 Tales of Destiny - 68,647 Tales of Graces f - 63,000 Tales of Destiny 2 (Eternia) - 57,896 Tales of the Abyss 3D - 45,101 Tales of the World - 39,809 As well liked as ToV was, it didn't do that much better than ToS2. I wonder what they look like today after the various rereleases. Link isn't the only one who kicks ass. Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Contest! |

Back in 2012 they looked like this:I guess it still wouldn't be pretty good, but i guess that is how it is now Well since a lot of negativity towards Tales is brewing here i will take my leave for now, i will come back in the next bracket, this was a sad one, just saying, have no negative towards Hollow Knight, it is a cool game, it is just my own bias this time. Good Luck on voting guys! Best

I like Tales games a lot. They just don't do very well in contests. >_> Link isn't the only one who kicks ass. Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Contest! |
Advokaiser posted... Symphonia is regarded as the FFVII of the Tales of series, for many reasons, including contest strength I picked Berseria in hopes of it being some sort of FFXII, contest-wise.Tales is the FFXIII-2 of RPG series, so it really says something when the FFXIII-2 of that series got such a large Board 8 support "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and hellboy" - trancer1 lol xstats |
Life
is Strange is terrific despite its flaws, and it filled many of the
cracks found in The Walking Dead's model for guilt simulators. LiS is
arguably a top ten pick for the decade, at least in my book. However, against Halo: Reach, it just couldn't release the O P E R A T I O N O U S T : Nominate SHEIK! https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/ssb/images/0/0d/Sheik-Victory3-SSB4.png |
Advokaiser posted... Symphonia is regarded as the FFVII of the Tales of series, for many reasons, including contest strength. I picked Berseria in hopes of it being some sort of FFXII, contest-wise.FF7 is significantly stronger compared to FF12. The Symphonia : Berseria ratio is probably about the same as FF7 : FF12. G-O-F posted... Well since a lot of negativity towards Tales is brewing here i will take my leave for nowConsidering how many people in this topic seem upset that Berseria lost, I wouldn't say there's negativity towards the quality of the game...just its contest strength. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Damn, what a shame. I have no qualm with Hollow Knight, great game! I hope more people check out Berseria, though. Arguably both the best game in the franchise, as well as arguably the best jRPG this console gen, not that there are a ton of those. |
I'll
also go to bat for Berseria. Really good game. Can't complain about
Hollow Knight beating it though, it's a game I respect a lot even if it
didn't entirely click with me. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
I feel like general internet popularity is gonna matter more than some people realize. Which I hope bodes well for New Leaf. http://www.backloggery.com/whitelens | https://myanimelist.net/profile/WhiteLens F/GO: 271551102; FFRK: 9k6d; FFBE: 886783216; LLSIFAS: 438166726 |
I was so close to picking New Leaf. I ended up going with "gamefaqs is not that part of the internet" |
That seems like questionable justification against RDR2 of all games. Link isn't the only one who kicks ass. Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Contest! |
....Maybe having Isabelle on the match pic would swing it in New Leaf's favor? http://www.backloggery.com/whitelens | https://myanimelist.net/profile/WhiteLens F/GO: 271551102; FFRK: 9k6d; FFBE: 886783216; LLSIFAS: 438166726 |
Hey wait, why is there no proper poll of the day? Breath of the Wild/Outer Worlds is in its place for some reason. "I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people who do." You won the CBX Guru Contest, Advokaiser! Bully for you! |
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/8042-if-it-has-one-are-you-following-your-areas-stay-at-home There actually is one. It's just glitched. http://www.backloggery.com/whitelens | https://myanimelist.net/profile/WhiteLens F/GO: 271551102; FFRK: 9k6d; FFBE: 886783216; LLSIFAS: 438166726 |
MetalmindStats posted... Hey wait, why is there no proper poll of the day? Breath of the Wild/Outer Worlds is in its place for some reason.I wonder if you could use that poll to just vote Breath of the Wild's match only. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, the 2020 Guru contest winner. |
MetalmindStats posted... Hey wait, why is there no proper poll of the day? Breath of the Wild/Outer Worlds is in its place for some reason. Because this is the actual poll that should have been on the homepage right now: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/8042- The poll ID for the regular polls during this contest are screwing up the site's ability to display the intended poll on the homepage. _SecretSquirrel posted... I wonder if you could use that poll to just vote Breath of the Wild's match only. Yeah, you could totally do that. In fact, the Breath of the Wild match is a clear step above the other 3 matches in vote totals as a result of being displayed on the homepage. That match is about 120 votes higher than the other 3 matches, and this was after being on the homepage for 10 minutes so far.

_SecretSquirrel posted... I wonder if you could use that poll to just vote Breath of the Wild's match only.It would seem you can, since BotW's match has 120 more votes than the next two and 116 more votes than HK/Berseria. Edit: Based on creativename's poll updater, that entire margin has come from the past ten minutes, as all matches except HK/Berseria had tied votals at 10 PM PDT.

Advokaiser posted... Symphonia is regarded as the FFVII of the Tales of series, for many reasons, including contest strength. I picked Berseria in hopes of it being some sort of FFXII, contest-wise. If were comparing FF12 to FF7...then beseria is absolutely comparable to FF12. FF7 would triple FF12. I doubt Symphonia would triple Beseria. I mean Symphonia would beat Hollow Knight. but not by much |
The
BotW match pulling away from the other 3 matches could be taken as a
sign that the forced voting in all 4 matches (if you use the contest
voting form) is actually hurting vote totals of all 4 matches running on
the same day. Also, looks like the homepage was fixed, so the correct poll is showing up as intended. So the BotW match won't be pulling away even farther from the other 3 matches.

It
is taking a lot for me to remind myself that the talk of Symphonia
being Tales' FFVII is purely based on contest strength, because MAN is
that a triggering statement on it's face. |
Team Rocket Elite posted... I used to keep track of sale figures of Tales games. Back in 2012 they looked like this: vesperia did ridiculously well considering it came out exclusively on xbox 360. It sold more than any ps2 tales games despite having smaller userbase and being on an american console |
UshiromiyaEva posted... It is taking a lot for me to remind myself that the talk of Symphonia being Tales' FFVII is purely based on contest strength, because MAN is that a triggering statement on it's face. symphonia is the strongest ourely because it was a popular gamecube game back then |
Seeing Legendia outsold Abyss is nightmarish. |
Tales of Graces F is dope. dilateDChemist |
Tales of Graces F('s battle system) is dope. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
KamikazePotato posted... Tales of Graces F('s battle system) is dope. Best in the series! The rest of the game is pretty middling, but that still has to count for something. |
Coming of age story. I enjoyed it. But yes the battle system has yet to be topped by any other Tales game. dilateDChemist |
i'd say Xillia 2 has the best battle system. graces F is close behind. |
I'll
admit to still having not played Xillia 2, though I did recently
purchase it. A Tales game with a silent protagonist is just such a dumb
off putting idea, I've been reluctant to pay any attention to the game
since it was first announced. |
UshiromiyaEva posted... Seeing Legendia outsold Abyss is nightmarish. abyss came out at a bad time. But it sold fine on 3ds |
Team Rocket Elite posted... I like Tales games a lot. They just don't do very well in contests. >_>Same :( Berseria is so good. Might be best in series, IMO. Loved the Xillia games too. |
As
a result of the glitch that caused the BotW match to appear in the PotD
slot for about 15 minutes before it was fixed, I decided to look into
the split between registered/anonymous users on who voted in the match
from the PotD slot. During the 15 minute time block from 1:00 AM to 1:15 AM EST, the overall votes for the BotW match was 57.52% registered users. For comparison, the Halo: Reach match had 58.17% registered users during that same time period. So not significantly different from the other matches that didn't appear in the PotD slot. Among the votes that had to be submitted from the PotD slot (estimated at 113 votes), registered users made up 56.64% of those votes. So the PotD slot only slightly favored anonymous users.

Trails of Cold Steel III wants to know your location I can't believe I lost the Character Battle X guru contest to some guy named Advokaiser |
Keltiq posted... Trails of Cold Steel III wants to know your location CS3 was great, but I'm sticking with my guns on that one. |
Persona 5 is the best. dilateDChemist |
Woke up, checked the results. As expected I believe. So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing? |
Ah
yes, a debatable match of two games we hardly knew anything about turns
out to not be close and there are people posting "how could anyone not know this". Contest season is back! Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to Advokaiser, the winner of the Character Battle X guru contest. |
I just saw well known series vs random indie game. |
UshiromiyaEva posted... Seeing Legendia outsold Abyss is nightmarish.iirc, the Namco had the genius idea of launching Abyss a couple weeks before FF12 in NA. It was doomed to fail from the start. (Goes back to lurking) At CEOtaku 2019: BBTag, UNIST |
I
considered picking Berseria over Hollow Knight but little did I know
that maybe I should have considered Hollow Knight over FF15. I mean I it sounds like a stretch but 74% against probably the only game in the contest I've literally never even heard of is sad lol A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
Right now, according to xstats, Berseria would need to get at least 66,55% against Edith Finch in order for HK to beat FFXV. (edited 3/27/2020 5:02:37 AM) |
Since
someone asked how Three Houses sold relative to other JRPGs in the
bracket, it would definitely be up there at over 2.5 million as of the
end of last year. It has likely passed Persona 5 by now. The highest selling JRPG here (other than HGSS I guess) is certainly Dark Souls, followed by FFXV. Then it’d probably be Dark Souls III, DQXI, then Sekiro, then Nier Automata, though DQXI is obviously very disproportionately centred around Japan. I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh Advokaiser |
ZeldaTPLink posted... Right now, according to xstats, Berseria would need to get at least 66,55% against Edith Finch in order for HK to beat FFXV.I still believe. Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://www.twitch.tv/ultimaterializerx ; https://imgur.com/dsnL40n |
I
don't think Hollow Knight is going to do FFXV anything there. Hollow
Knight stands out today and certainly attracts more votes from someone
who played neither game, but FFXV has name recognition. Wouldn't
surprise me if Edith Finch was scoring better than it should due to
antivoting. Nothing Final Fantasy scores blowouts anymore. Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to Advokaiser, the winner of the Character Battle X guru contest. |
