Advokaiser posted... I also don't like anything that has horror in it, not just games. The only exception to this rule is Castlevania, which I'm a fan of, but that's mainly because it's not a "scary" series, but rather focused on action-adventure, which I'm also a fan of. I found Castlevania 2 to be scary. Though that might just be because I played i when I was like maybe 10. But I remember getting nervous at the night sections. |
Cool, I'm not on the leaderboard but I'm tied with places 28-50 at 66 points. 3DS FC: 4382 - 2449 - 5707 IGN: Anthony |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... I've played more games in this bracket than most of the board you couldn't tell it by your posts |
HaRRicH posted... How many indie games could pull off the upset Hollow Knight failed to complete against FFXV? I'd feel alright with Cuphead and Shovel Knight, and I'd feel riiiiiiiisky with Ori and Undertale. Ori and Undertale would have no shot. Those games aren't up there with Cuphead, Shovel Knight, and Hollow Knight. There's no way I'd take Dragon Age or Octopath Traveler over FFXV. (edited 4/12/2020 7:52:15 PM) |
Dark Souls is scary because I can be attacked from the menu screen. Eff that. And RE7 definitely isn't VR only. My impression was that the game marketed itself largely as the first AAA VR game...so I could get the confusion here, but yeah, no VR required per say.

it’s a game that can be played in VR. it is not a “VR game” anymore than Skyrim is For your BK_Sheikah00. At least Kupo has class and doesn't MESSAGE the people -Dr Pizza |
actually I guess Fallout 4 is now the second straight VR game ME2 has beat what a weird coincidence For your BK_Sheikah00. At least Kupo has class and doesn't MESSAGE the people -Dr Pizza |
MoogleKupo141 posted... actually I guess Fallout 4 is now the second straight VR game ME2 has beat is Horizon a VR game |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... RE7 is a VR game Big difference between is a VR game and is a VR exclusive game which is what you originally said. |
Well,
it looks like I was decidedly wrong about Mass Effect 2 being a
no-hoper to win the division. Which is great for my bracket, so I have
no problem being wrong! I still expect RE2 to win, though - this is a
stellar performance against DOOM. Switching from Borderlands to Horizon is another "listen to Board 8" pick that worked out. Thanks, y'all. https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/nintchdbpict000360029186.jpg The music was thud-like. The music was... thud-like. |
HaRRicH posted... How many indie games could pull off the upset Hollow Knight failed to complete against FFXV? I'd feel alright with Cuphead and Shovel Knight, and I'd feel riiiiiiiisky with Ori and Undertale.Shovel Knight for sure, Ori and Cuphead are a maybe, Undertale is a lol "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and hellboy" - trancer1 lol xstats |
UshiromiyaEva posted... RE2 was a typo, but still, I don't know anybody who played RE7 in VR. Sure, journalists did, but a vast, vast, VAST majority of people who played that game have never done so in VR.Not playing a s***ty horror game series makes me "out of touch"? The only coverage I saw was people circlejerking over the s***ty VR experience, so I can be excused for not caring enough to follow up any further "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and hellboy" - trancer1 lol xstats |
According to Capcom's global stats, 17.04% of people played RE7 in VR: https://www.residentevil.net/en/sevenrecord.html Congrats to Advokaiser, the new Guru champ! |
Lol that backpedal. "Why should I care, it sucks anyways. If it didn't suck I would totally know what I'm talking about." |
LeonhartFour posted...
no horizon is a strand game For your BK_Sheikah00. At least Kupo has class and doesn't MESSAGE the people -Dr Pizza |
does ME2 have any experience defeating strand games |
RE7
was truly an amazing game in VR, but even without it it was still in
the upper half of Resident Evil games really only surpassed by RE4, both
RE2's and REmake |
UshiromiyaEva posted... Lol that backpedal. The puzzling thing is this has been BT's modus operandi for like, 15 years, but he hasn't changed one iota while literally every other user I know has at least a little bit. He's like a time capsule we dig up every year. There has been no evolution. It's so strange. Not to be confused with XIII_Stones. |
I
mean I've vaguely known that, but he's such a non-presence here outside
of the contest season, and we've had so few of those lately that it
tends to slip. |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... Not playing a s***ty horror game series makes me "out of touch"? Excuse you, that's "Two Time GameFAQs Game of the Year" horror game series to you, boyo. If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person? #theresafreakingghostafterus |
Does Awakening losing really mean that much for 3H? Now I keep seeing talk on how 3H is also doomed |
given how relatively close these both are i don't feel too bad for backing the upsets. Sir Chris Doom The Kanto Saga - Animated Series - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hH4wNFCrLM |
I think there's some belief that the two FE games should be about equivilant in strength. Considering the enormous social media explosion of 3H and the still very active community, I doubt that severely. |
UshiromiyaEva posted... I mean I've vaguely known that, but he's such a non-presence here outside of the contest season, and we've had so few of those lately that it tends to slip.I'm way more active in discussions during contest season, so I can't help but notice him return and triple down on the troll gimmick that's at least a decade too old. He can drop the shtick and be normal, and this community would probably treat him normally inside of a week, but he won't. It says something (sad) about a guy that he's stunted and immature enough to still get his jollies this way. Edit: exactly what XIII said. We've had like 100 antagonistic trolls over two decades. He's the only one who hasn't either grown up or left. Yoblazer https://imgur.com/gByqgPg (edited 4/12/2020 9:57:40 PM) |
BT doesn't even get along with other trolls like is there anyone here he even considers a friend (or considers him a friend) |
LeonhartFour posted... does ME2 have any experience defeating strand gamesSome wound contend that ME2 has experience being defeated by strand games. Personally, I am of the opinion that it is impossible to even comprehend having experience defeating or being defeated by strand games, for strand games are fundamentally ineffable. "I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people who do." You won the CBX Guru Contest, Advokaiser! Bully for you! |
I went with FE: Awakening to make division finals... nuts. You guys still think Persona 5 has a chance vs Witcher 3? SuperNiceChao about to win the Oracle 2020! TsunamiXXVIII and me will destroy all you noobs |
SuperNiceDog posted... I went with FE: Awakening to make division finals... nuts.no |
LeonhartFour posted... Ori and Undertale would have no shot. Those games aren't up there with Cuphead, Shovel Knight, and Hollow Knight. There's no way I'd take Dragon Age or Octopath Traveler over FFXV. you wouldnt take octopath over FFXV? you sure about that? Think about that long and hard. |
SuperNiceDog posted... I went with FE: Awakening to make division finals... nuts. if persona 5 had come on switch id take it over evrything in this contest except BOTW but atlus are f***ing idiots. |
I joked about Xenoblade earlier, but I think this says much more about Bloodborne than Fire Emblem. I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh Advokaiser |
Yuri_LowelI posted... if persona 5 had come on switch id take it over evrything in this contest except BOTW It's not Atlus fault lol. Sony obviously funded the game. |
last we heard from atlus they said something like "don't give up, keep saying you want it on switch" or something. i remember everyone found it really weird because they were talking like they want it on switch but something isn't letting it happen |
Naw,
they just ask that about literally all their games all the time. They
constantly put questionnaires about old SMT and Persona games coming to
Switch as well. |
RE7 is an amazing game, but an absolutely terrifying (in a good way) VR game! Well done to Advokaiser for finishing 104 places above me in the 2018 CBX Guru Contest! |
Sharinnegan posted... last we heard from atlus they said something like "don't give up, keep saying you want it on switch" or something. i remember everyone found it really weird because they were talking like they want it on switch but something isn't letting it happen It's free advertising. It's like saying "look they want it so it must be good". Trails of Cold Steel didn't do that and it flopped badly compared to Persona 5 while being as good imo. |
Bloodborne is quietly piling on the percent. It's gained almost 2% since 4.5 hours ago, which was 5 hours into the match. Advokaiser is the man. Congrats! |
So woke up checked the results. I am on the Leaderboard b****es! For the first and last day since I made 2 mistakes here. Oh well. It was a toss up between B2 and HZD but I didn't expected FEA to lose to B. Well as per tradition I managed to reach the leaderboard on this contest too. But overall this is my worst performance contest evar. So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing? |
I'm
pretty screwed this contest as well. I mean i probably have a shot at a
perfect top 8 but i'm guessing most people have the same top 8 barring
maybe Witcher 3 to the final over Skyrim. (edited 4/13/2020 3:01:55 AM) |
I'm actually into horror stuff, but I think it's mostly monster media. My favorite movie of all time is Aliens, and my favorite video game of all time is Resident Evil 4. "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
HaRRicH posted... How many indie games could pull off the upset Hollow Knight failed to complete against FFXV? I'd feel alright with Cuphead and Shovel Knight, and I'd feel riiiiiiiisky with Ori and Undertale. Undertale gets tripled. |
Bloodborne's late night / early morning vote has been insanely strong. i'm not so sure RE2 will be going into that match as the favorite anymore. |
ZeldaTPLink posted... Undertale gets tripled.FFXV couldn't triple Edith Finch I don't see how one could argue Edith = Octopath Advokaiser is the man. Congrats! |
WHOA, there's a successful rally over on /r/bloodborne: https://old.reddit.com/r/bloodborne/comments/g07usr/bloodborne_up_for_game_of_decade_at_gamefaqs/ This explains the slightly elevated votals for this match. Advokaiser is the man. Congrats! |
I do think it would win without that too though. So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing? |
Safer_777 posted... So woke up checked the results. GJ! SuperNiceChao about to win the Oracle 2020! TsunamiXXVIII and me will destroy all you noobs |
Sharinnegan posted... Bloodborne's late night / early morning vote has been insanely strong. Apparently, we now know why it's been stronger than usual. Bloodborne was almost certainly going to have a good night vote to begin with, but the rally just powered it up even more. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Advokaiser, Guru Champ! |
This is eerily similar to how Melee rallied against Pokemon Gold despite not being in any danger of dropping the match... Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, the 2020 Guru contest winner. |
f*** that Melee rally BTW. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, the 2020 Guru contest winner. |
