Mass Effect 2 got 39% on MGS3, while SOTC indirectly got 44%. So much for that. "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
FF7's probably risen quite a bit due to the remake. "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." - John 16:33 |
MechanicalWall posted... SotC went 60-40 with RDR in 2015, which is just about how well Smash Ultimate does on it through XBC as proxy. There is at least one bandwagon in that line though, possibly two. That's before considering if the first RDR boosted from 2 releasing. 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. |
Captain_Sorzo posted... FF7's probably risen quite a bit due to the remake.Oh definitely. But one thing us for sure. Zelda’s boost (the character) was no fluke. Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest I never lie, but I never tell the truth: http://www.twitch.tv/ultimaterializerx |
squexa posted... Some BotW projections: Using a constant Skyrim, BotW is worth 46.35% on 2015 Ocarina of Time. Using a constant TLOU, BotW is worth 46.00% on 2015 Ocarina of Time. >_> Congratulations to azuarc for winning the guru challenge |
Assuming constant Skyrim, what would Witcher 3 get on old Witcher 3? Warning: I'm literally VeryInsane. |

I'm
not putting in the time for calculations, but if anybody else wants to
here are the games we had this contest that were also in BGE3: Undertale Mass Effect The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim The Last of Us Persona 4 (not Golden) Super Mario Galaxy 2 Life is Strange Animal Crossing: New Leaf Batman: Arkham City Mass Effect 2 Fallout: New Vegas The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Xenoblade Chronicles Portal 2 Dark Souls Fire Emblem: Awakening Mario Kart 8 Pokemon Gold/Silver (not Heart/Soul) Red Dead Redemption BioShock Infinite Bloodborne Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Borderlands 2 Minecraft Bayonetta 2 Journey Sid Meier’s Civilization V Binding of Isaac: Rebirth Destiny The Walking Dead Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft Without doing a calculation, I'm taking LoZ:BotW > LoZ:MM with 52%. 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 |
SotC probably falls between Witcher and Skyrim, meaning I only take Zelda/Smash/Witcher over it "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and hellboy" - trancer1 lol xstats |

that apparently brought extra attention to the site (and poll): https://twitter.com/GameFAQs/status/1260639665977282561 (click to expand) For

What actually happened. Did he sabotage his own guide or something? |
shane15 posted... What actually happened. Did he sabotage his own guide or something?Pretty much. Dude became a born again Christian, and then edited his P2 FAQ to a rant about the Persona series being blasphemous or whatever. Agent Triple Zero at your service!

_SecretSquirrel posted... Pretty much. Dude became a born again Christian, and then edited his P2 FAQ to a rant about the Persona series being blasphemous or whatever. Not very Christian of him. |
the Kotaku article said the dude might have been s***posting. (edited 5/13/2020 11:59:40 AM) |
On
a sidenote, why couldn't that happen during the Persona 5 vs. Witcher 3
match? Imagine everyone's second chance brackets except mine getting
busted over a Persona 2 guide being erased over a BAC rant (or
s***post). Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, azuarc, winner of Game of the Decade! |
Man what if that guy just wanted to bring more humans to this dying site? Into the woods, but mind the past... Into the woods, but mind the future! |
This
is just an American thing to do. Plus what exactly means that he is
reborn Christian? Plus this is a video game. It is fiction. Nothing in
there matters. So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing? Azuarc the best Guru of the 2020 Contest! Nice job man! |
Persona has legit taught me more about gods and mythology than school did. |
The
edit on that guide is perfectly fine in context — I’m a born-again
myself, so I agree with much of what he put in there — but doing a
stealth edit on a guide is just not the right way to get the word out. 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 12:18:13 PM) |
I too can't wait for the demons to be erased from existence I was the final Undisputed Champion in UCA history, but azuarc was our Guru Champion! |
all i'm getting out of this controversy is he proved god really is the enemy after all. like imagine using his guide for a while and then all of a sudden the FAQ talks about how wonderful God is. meta as f***. "Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel. |
I'd like to think of Persona as a metaphor for taking control of your inner demons so come out as a stronger person. But I know that's reading too much into it. http://www.backloggery.com/whitelens | https://myanimelist.net/profile/WhiteLens F/GO: 271551102; FFRK: 9k6d; FFBE: 886783216; LLSIFAS: 438166726 |

I agree. I learned through bad choices that, while people always have a latent need for God's Word, they are not always prepared to hear about Him. There's a time and space for everything. It's an honor being part of Board 8's community. |
Seeing the state of the world, I'm fairly certain we're in one of the 'god abandoned' timelines anyway. If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person? #theresafreakingghostafterus |
Advokaiser posted... I agree.This. People have to make that choice on their own. FFDragon posted...

Why do these type of people get any attention at all? Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. Advokaiser >Me |
Zylothewolf posted... Why do these type of people get any attention at all?Because the writers at Kotaku are idiots. Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest I never lie, but I never tell the truth: http://www.twitch.tv/ultimaterializerx |

Mario Galaxy 2 is going to come out of this looking pretty darn great maybe there is something to the idea that a western game can only go so high on a mainline Nintendo game would explain MK8 too |
Probably
explains GTA's historical weirdness, too. In terms of stats, it's very
strong, but if the site is actually divided between Eastern and Western
fanbases, there is just a wall it can't breach, which causes its results
to be non-transitive. There is only one Guru of the Decade, and his name is azuarc. Congratulations! |
LeonhartFour posted... Mario Galaxy 2 is going to come out of this looking pretty darn great Eh, both of those looked good before their losses too. All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. |
They looked fine. They didn't look like top ten games of the contest. |
Witcher redditors are literally SEETHING at the results. pretty funny to watch. they've been rallying for hours. mungo mungo smells like dungo |
We're
about 4000 votes ahead compared to yesterday. So they basically needed
to rally twice as hard as they have done to even make it close if all
the extra votes are from them (and they probably aren't) EDIT: Looks like they haven't even rallied on the main Witcher Reddit. Which if they did may have made a larger difference since there's 4.8k people online on that reddit. A sticky there may have gotten a significant chunk of votes (edited 5/13/2020 1:34:24 PM) |
Leonhart4 posted... They looked fine. They didn't look like top ten games of the contest. Do they still look top 10 after adjusting Witcher down for its rally and adjusting for SSBU/SMO/XBC SFF? All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. |
Scrolling
through the first 3 pages, there's plenty of threads about the contest
on the main witcher and witcher 3 subreddits. Not a single one on the
BotW subreddit. |
I
just searched through all the posts by new on the main Witcher reddit.
There was one topic posted 20 hours ago with 14 Upvotes and 8 comments.
Half of which were the autobot or related to BotW being the better game.

Mac Arrowny posted... Do they still look top 10 after adjusting Witcher down for its rally and adjusting for SSBU/SMO/XBC SFF? Witcher had a bunch of mini rallies all match long What would it's natural result be? 42/43%? |
jeffjimbo posted... Witcher redditors are literally SEETHING at the results. pretty funny to watch. they've been rallying for hours.Which is dumb. Zelda is very deserving of this win.

Mac Arrowny posted... Do they still look top 10 after adjusting Witcher down for its rally and adjusting for SSBU/SMO/XBC SFF? I mean, there's really no way to adjust for a rally. |
Leonhart4 posted... I mean, there's really no way to adjust for a rally. ME3 forever second strongest. If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person? #theresafreakingghostafterus |
I wonder if the Persona 2 guide going viral could have impacted Persona 5 / Witcher 3 if that happened then RIP in Pieces GamerJM, 2007-2015. You will be missed. #UnPermabanJim |
I
may have uncovered potential evidence that we could be getting 2 bonus
matches later today. Using the voting form on the homepage that is used
to vote in the current match, I could change the poll ID to a later
poll that is not yet active and seeing what message I get when trying to
vote in a poll that isn't active yet. Poll 8090, 8091, and 8092
returned the message "This poll is not currently active. Refresh the
GameFAQs home page to see the current poll." which implies that future
polls with those poll IDs currently exist in the database. Poll 8093
actually returned the message "An invalid poll was selected." which
means no poll currently exists in the database with that specific poll
ID. The assumption is that poll 8092 is most likely tomorrow's regular poll, with 8090 and 8091 being the bonus matches. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Advokaiser, Guru Champ! |
Allen never sent the picsmiths PMs about a second bonus match, so if one does exist it is a legit surprise. Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest I never lie, but I never tell the truth: http://www.twitch.tv/ultimaterializerx |
If
the second bonus match really is Skyrim/Ultimate, there would be no
need for pic submissions because Allen can re-use the existing
submissions for both games. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Advokaiser, Guru Champ! |
