Thank you sir! Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://www.twitch.tv/ultimaterializerx ; https://imgur.com/dsnL40n |
So running through the bracket I thought octopath was octodad. Octodad totally got snubbed here. |
I could get behind an Octodad upset. Anybody else streaming or learning more about the games you haven't played this generation in this contest? I've been having fun bouncing between them so far.

Cracks are already appearing in my bracket but it's not fatal...yet. |
In
an odd spot because I think Odyssey is vastly superior to Smash, and
had it winning before switching because of Smash fear, but don't
actually want it to pull off the upset because there goes bracket. Unless GTAV also wins its division because I'll make up the points there. I was the final Undisputed Champion in UCA history, however Advokaiser was the Guru Champion! |
I wonder what the stats would predict for Octopath vs ME3 by taking the results before the Undertale rally. I think Undertale was 10k votes down so I'm guessing it would be an easy ME3 win. |
So I couldn't help but notice in the contest standings page that 2*user votes + anonymous votes is not the same as adjusted votes. Is this because of users who registered after the deadline still being counted as "users" but only having their vote count as 1 vote? @LusterSoldier is this your explanation also? Think fast. Click faster. |
I can't wait for D4 to start now. That is easily the best division. |
So if I'm right that would mean, taking say the minecraft voters we have 6490 registered votes from accounts before the deadline 14 registered votes from accounts after the deadline 5106 voters without an account Seems reasonable I guess Think fast. Click faster. |

4 matches per day. Next Round is it: 2 matches per day? Round 3 is 1 match per day? |

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/switch Octopath Traveler is now #7 on Top Switch Games for this site. Or maybe it's been for some time and I'm only noticing now. I just thought of something, people are stuck in their homes and need something to play on their Switch (aside from Animal Crossing), naturally this site favors RPGs and when they go searching for RPGs on Switch, Octopath Traveler is gonna pop up. Thus it gets a small boost. It's the Quarantine Effect. http://www.backloggery.com/whitelens | https://myanimelist.net/profile/WhiteLens F/GO: 271551102; FFRK: 9k6d; FFBE: 886783216; LLSIFAS: 438166726 |
Octopath was on sale recently (might still be?) so it's been getting a small uptick in players. Current Screenshot Let's Play: Robopon Sun - https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3915539 --- https://mega64.net/ |
I checked: https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/octopath-traveler-switch/ It's still is on sale. http://www.backloggery.com/whitelens | https://myanimelist.net/profile/WhiteLens F/GO: 271551102; FFRK: 9k6d; FFBE: 886783216; LLSIFAS: 438166726 (edited 4/1/2020 12:47:59 PM) |
ZeldaTPLink posted... I started playing Celeste a few days ago. It's great! Agreed, dang fine game. Some of those later levels are DIFFICULT, goodness, that's a lot to ask of a player...but that base game and a lot of those extra levels are legit.

Octopath
got a PC release last year, though I'm going to guess that probably did
very little (if not outright nothing) for its strength Born to lose, live to win! |
HaRRicH posted... Agreed, dang fine game. Some of those later levels are DIFFICULT, goodness, that's a lot to ask of a player...but that base game and a lot of those extra levels are legit. I just finished the Mirror Temple yesterday and holy hell, that was painful. Long, difficult and dark. The hotel level too. The others were alright, though some strawberries are rage inducing. |
Octopath went on sale to celebrate 2 million sales. Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://www.twitch.tv/ultimaterializerx ; https://imgur.com/dsnL40n |
wasn't this around the time the Undertale/ME3 rally started |
The biggest april fools joke of all was Octopath Traveler having any strength at all. Hello again. |
but does it really have any strength at all or is this Undertale anti-vote power we'll find out next round! |
What about Undertale and Octopath are both weak ? |
Yeah, I have zero faith in Octopath having any actual strength. |
On the topic of trying games because of this contest, I had touched it before but it inspired me to actually dig into FFXIV. I just finished the base game’s main story, and man, they really pulled off a full-fledged mainline FF that also happens to be a good MMO. I wasn’t expecting credits to roll haha. And that part is apparently much weaker than the patches and expansions! I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh Advokaiser |
FF14 is (not so secretly) the best FF game in 20 years. |
The Mana Sword posted... FF14 is (not so secretly) the best FF game in 20 years. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
14 came out in 2013, so best FF since FFVI? All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. |
The Mana Sword posted... FF14 is (not so secretly) the best FF game in 20 years.MMOs are all trash and I will never be convinced otherwise. I’ve lost many friends over the years to that s***.

I thought you were counting from now so IX, or possibly rounding so X. And both are right! I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh Advokaiser (edited 4/1/2020 2:22:27 PM) |
WhiteLens posted... https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/switchIt's been less than a week for most people, don't think they're desparate enough to resort to playing trash Switch games just yet "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and hellboy" - trancer1 lol xstats |
I want to know what games BT doesn’t think are trash. Anyway, I think one of the great things about XIV is that it’s not the kind of MMO you need to dedicate your life to, and it’s totally accessible if you just like Final Fantasy games. I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh Advokaiser |
He said he liked Dota 2! Link isn't the only one who kicks ass. Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Contest! |
Lightning Strikes posted... I want to know what games BT doesn’t think are trash.I had three -- three!! -- so called ride or die best friend types who have barely spoken to me because they're too busy playing that garbage with every waking minute. I don't think I can ever fully convey how much I hate FF11, FF14, World of Warcraft, Everquest, Runescape, Maple Story, Eve Online, and so on and so on. MMOs are total trash to me for life.

Gotta try at least one MMO in my life, I think. It's an honor being part of Board 8's community. |
Is it weird if I had Undertale as the winner for 3 rounds on my bracket, but I want it to lose? |
squallken1 posted... Is it weird if I had Undertale as the winner for 3 rounds on my bracket, but I want it to lose?No. Root for whoever you want, bro! Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://www.twitch.tv/ultimaterializerx ; https://imgur.com/dsnL40n |
squallken1 posted... Is it weird if I had Undertale as the winner for 3 rounds on my bracket, but I want it to lose? First two matches are alright, but having Undertale > Mario is surely weird. If Undertale is that strong, it's because of a rally, and if you think a rally happens you may as well take it all the way to the championship. |
ZeldaTPLink posted... First two matches are alright, but having Undertale > Mario is surely weird.Personally I NEVER got over that one contest were Undertale won greatest game of all time despite being 2 months old at the time. Edit: wait I checked my bracket, I had Undertale losing to Super Odyssey Mario (edited 4/1/2020 3:01:03 PM) |
