MithosLowell posted... So the closest thing weve had to any CDprojecktRed staff taking notice of this contest is Hollie Bennet a uk marketing head for CDPR liking a tweet about the Final. Its not a retweet and its not going to have much of an effect but its some acknowledgement i guess. She has over 80k followerskinda tryhard. |
Witcher's jumped ~2.5% since I went to bed last night...pretty impressive. 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 |
_SecretSquirrel posted... It's really the exact opposite. Europe LOVES Witcher 3. I don't think there's a single entity it would lose the dead zone to. Well, BotW actually won those hours today, although only by about 200 votes. Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to Advokaiser, the winner of the Character Battle X guru contest. |
Isn’t Witcher 3 set in Europe and was, like, invented there? Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest I never lie, but I never tell the truth: http://www.twitch.tv/ultimaterializerx (edited 5/13/2020 5:22:05 AM) |
UltimaterializerX posted... Isn’t Witcher 3 set in Europe? And a popular novel series dating back to the late 80s, and has had TV series in Poland. And of course its made by a Polish dev. https://imgur.com/6aYmEPY You can't stop him, you can only hope to contain him |
Yeah so it has home field advantage! Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest I never lie, but I never tell the truth: http://www.twitch.tv/ultimaterializerx |
Witcher 3 is set in a fictional world actually. But it takes a lot of stuff from Slav mythology and medieval Europe. So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing? Azuarc the best Guru of the 2020 Contest! Nice job man! |
Its
about as close to medieval Europe as it gets without actually calling
it Europe. The different countries are all based on the different powers
of the time, it has the church in power, and all the kinda stuff you'd
expect from that setting is there in spades. https://imgur.com/6aYmEPY You can't stop him, you can only hope to contain him |
So this is Witcher's natural strength, not just some rally? If so it's impressive. There is only one Guru of the Decade, and his name is azuarc. Congratulations! |
There's a rally on the front page of the witcher subreddit |
It's not far off, but it probably does slightly worse without it. So yeah, it's legit now, and I look forward to seeing it again in the future. Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to Advokaiser, the winner of the Character Battle X guru contest. |
deeewooh posted... There's a rally on the front page of the witcher subreddit Well there always is. I take it it's not enough to be what caused this huge night swing, right? There is only one Guru of the Decade, and his name is azuarc. Congratulations! |
this poll is going to have the most votes by a pretty significant margin xyzzy |
Yeah there's definitely rallies for Witcher: https://www.reddit.com/r/Witcher3/comments/gitztj/the_witcher_3_is_the_final_for_game_of_the_decade/ Like with the Persona rallies, it's hard to say exactly how much impact it's having. congrats to BKSheikah the BYIG guru |
transience posted... this poll is going to have the most votes by a pretty significant margin Theres speculation that since Kotaku made an article about an old Gamefaqs guide being updated, its bringing far more people to the site then normal. https://kotaku.com/persona-2-guide-written-in-2011-gets-one-hell-of-an-u-1843430262 https://imgur.com/6aYmEPY You can't stop him, you can only hope to contain him |
unless i'm missing something... there's 3 rally threads on witcher reddit for this match, and they all pretty much got completely ignored. the one that got most traction has 10 upvotes. this is pretty much Witcher's natural strength. Edit: Oh..its on the witcher 3 sub...that sub isn't very active and the topic didnt get much traction either. i doubt thats making much difference. (edited 5/13/2020 5:42:08 AM) |
I love that update so much xyzzy |
Sharinnegan posted... unless i'm missing something... There's one in the Witcher 3 subreddit that got 37 upvotes, but I think that's the biggest one. There is only one Guru of the Decade, and his name is azuarc. Congratulations! |
Lightning Strikes posted... WTF Colonialization especially regarding India and China. It's not a stretch to say that lingering animosity from those times still remain. From what I've seen they're the most acceptable racial targets after the Romani. Cherish me |
Well
I'm sure UK has considerable levels of xenophobia but I'm not sure if
those are particularly higher than in other developed countries, to the
point of influencing a contest result. There is only one Guru of the Decade, and his name is azuarc. Congratulations! (edited 5/13/2020 5:59:35 AM) |
The Witcher did post something on Facebook, just not contest related. They posted to say the GotY edition was available for 70% off on PSN right now. 57 comments, 241 likes on it right now. Posted 30 mins ago. So probably wouldn't have had enough traction to overturn the result unless that sort of interaction is consistent through the day Edit: Link - https://www.facebook.com/9659019330/posts/10157845822974331/ (edited 5/13/2020 6:07:03 AM) |
its irrelevant if it doesn't link to gamefaqs or at least mentions it. |
I
know. They did the same thing on Twitter. Was more mentioning it to
show that they were active on social media today. So the chances of them
doing anything for this contest are practically zero. https://mobile.twitter.com/witchergame/status/1260548245773783041 (click to expand) |
If
someone wanted to do something, they could post in the comments on
Twitter / Facebook linking the match and saying it's currently up for
GotD. Probably doesn't get a lot of traction but that's probably the
closest you could get to having something on their main social media |
Yo
Witcher 3 is keeping this pretty respectable, all things considered.
We've seen a lot of strong characters and games fold way harder to the
LAW than this in the past. 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. |
Stupid question: How many games in this field beat Shadow of the Colossus? "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
It could have gotten me to purchase it on the Switch if they had that same discount there..... 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 |
WesternMedia posted... Colonialization especially regarding India and China. It's not a stretch to say that lingering animosity from those times still remain. From what I've seen they're the most acceptable racial targets after the Romani. Did you get that from Fox news? |
LinkMarioSamus posted... Stupid question: How many games in this field beat Shadow of the Colossus? beats everything except BOTW smash skyrim witcher persona and dark souls. |
LinkMarioSamus posted... Stupid question: How many games in this field beat Shadow of the Colossus? BotW and Witcher 3 for sure and maybe SSBU depending on how much SFF you think it suffered. After that it depends on how well BotW does against Majora's Mask. If they are about equal then Skyrim/Persona 5/Dark Souls are within striking distance. Congratulations to azuarc for winning the guru challenge |
Odyssey should be considered too Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to azuarc, the winner of the Game of the Decade II guru contest. |
I've
been roughly working out the GOTD 1 x-stats myself (I know they're
there, I mean like what % each game gets on what). Within individual
divisions, SOTC's eightpack seems to be the only weird one. I adjusted
it down to 44% on MGS3 - which is 5% lower than what it got and what
it's projected to get in 2015 - and that made SOTC's eightpack fit
better so we don't get weird stuff like Assassin's Creed > World of
Warcraft and The Sims > Animal Crossing. "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
ZeldaTPLink posted... Well I'm sure UK has considerable levels of xenophobia but I'm not sure if those are particularly higher than in other developed countries, to the point of influencing a contest result. The UK does have considerable levels of intolerance, but it is also one of the most tolerant in the world. The two are absolutely compatible. I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh Advokaiser |
ShatteredElysium posted... I know. They did the same thing on Twitter. Was more mentioning it to show that they were active on social media today. So the chances of them doing anything for this contest are practically zero. Good deal, I just bought it. Thanks! MZero, to the extreme I'm a cheater at videogames - ertyu |

Damn, Witcher 3 really holding up well. I wonder if some of this is similar sentiment to Sp2k5 with Sephiroth "undertale hangs out with mido" - ZFS Smash Ultimate Switch Code: SW-6933-1523-8505 |
ExThaNemesis posted... Damn, Witcher 3 really holding up well. I wonder if some of this is similar sentiment to Sp2k5 with Sephiroth I'm not seeing it given what Witcher 3 did to its previous opponents. Congratulations to azuarc for winning the guru challenge |
charmander6000 posted... I'm not seeing it given what Witcher 3 did to its previous opponents. basing this more off what BOTW did to its previous opponents "undertale hangs out with mido" - ZFS Smash Ultimate Switch Code: SW-6933-1523-8505 |
*checks matches images*... Hahahaha! Geralt in the bathtub, let's go! And who was the genius behind the moon-crashing effect? Did you guys notice it? @ZenOfThunder This basically means we could actually have GIFs/animated battle images in the future! It's an honor being part of Board 8's community.

Allen did the Majora thing, hinting at tomorrow's bonus match. Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to azuarc, the winner of the Game of the Decade II guru contest. |
Not sure what to think of BotW vs MM. I honestly wont be surprised if MM wins and makes the entire bracket look like a joke. congrats to BKSheikah the BYIG guru |
ExThaNemesis posted... basing this more off what BOTW did to its previous opponents Currently Witcher 3 is expected to get 63.75% against ME2 and 65.72% against DQXI That puts them around Portal 2/God of War/TLOU/Pokemon HGSS tier which looks fine to me. They were always going to be a step below Skyrim/Dark Souls/Persona 5 IMO. Congratulations to azuarc for winning the guru challenge |
LinkMarioSamus posted... Stupid question: How many games in this field beat Shadow of the Colossus? DEFINITELY: BOTW, Mario Odyssey, Smash Ultimate Witcher 3, Skyrim LIKELY: Persona 5, Dark Souls, Pokemon HGSS OUTSIDE SHOT: God of War, ME2, RE2, SMG2 ~Jacksonville Jaguars~ |
SotC went 60-40 with RDR in 2015, which is just about how well Smash Ultimate does on it through XBC as proxy. There's a chance nothing in this bracket beats it but Zelda and Witcher. 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. |
SOTC could've fallen off since 2015. |
we said that in 2015 about 2010...! SOTC was recently free on PSN so if anything that helps it stay strong (edited 5/13/2020 9:15:26 AM) |
Really thought Witcher 3 could catch a rally. Oh well. So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing? Azuarc the best Guru of the 2020 Contest! Nice job man! |
Some BotW projections: Projecting through a constant SMG2, BotW is worth ~45% on 2015 FFVII Projecting through a constant MGSV, BotW is worth ~48% on 2015 ALttP congrats to BKSheikah the BYIG guru |
Shadow of the Colossus just got a sexy HD remake/remaster/re-something, if anything it may have well risen since 2015! 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. |
BOTW would beat FF7 i think. |
