Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1362

Majora's Mask probably over performed against LttP in 2015. There was definetly spillover from the Undertale rally the day before.

Why would an Undertale rally favour MM over Lttp?

Somebody forgot their early days with the candle.

So you're agreeing with me that BotW was a tedious pile of burning garbage?

Undertale was popular with younger voters, as is MM compared with LTTP. You could tell by the trends - MM had classic bandwagon trends that day, starting out strong and then free falling through the match.

Ben Drowned creepypasta seems like an Undertaler kinda deal.

I'm saying LoZ1 is my second favorite LoZ-game (LBW > all) and I'm about to buy BotW to see what three years of hoopla is all about.

I don't remember Zelda 1 having bulls*** weapon durability

who cares. raid hyrule castle or pick up the weapons that enemies drop or walk off the main path and find the hundreds of chests with weapons if you somehow run out of weapons or are ever in threat of doing so. you will receive several magnitudes more "Your inventory is full" messages than you will break or lose weapons in this game, even in master mode

I remember towards the middle of BotW I started really struggling to fit all the cool weapons I was finding into my inventory. I always had a ton

I quit the game when I ran into a moblin camp or something, and broke all of my weapons and had to spend 15 minutes finishing it off with bombs because bombs did so little damage.

This is not fun, engaging or stimulating. Even before the part that pushed me over the edge, I found no enjoyment in the micro dungeons, the complete lack of an objective, and the layers and layers of bulls*** "game mechanics". BotW is the MGS3 of the Zelda franchise.

For all the calamity that exists in the xstats, this is a pretty accurate Top 10, save for the possible exclusion of Odyssey due to SFF.

Look at those rallies.

Isn't that just Europe waking up and liking Witcher more?

Theres many things i wanted from this Contest before it started and most of them came to fruition.

1) To hopefully make it onto the Leaderboard - Check, also made it to 2nd chance leader board so thats a bonus.
2) Persona 5 to be in the Top 5 - Check
3) FFXV and Unders***e to look abysmal - Check
4) Xenoblade to win its division - Check
5) Nioh to beat Isaac 90% of people predicted otherwise which surprised me.

Things that didn't happen

• Nier to Beat Pokemon
• Dark Souls to beat Skyrim
• Cuphead to beat GTAV

I'm all good though

"72. Heavy Rain – 16.63%
74. Devil May Cry 5 – 16.30%"

Press X to Dante.

Now that it's all said and done, Smash vs Witcher 3, who you got?

That is a lot of fodder.

Also, I'd really love to know what happened to the SmartVoterFAQs factor that played so much in the last GotD. I really though half baked rehashed like RE, Pokemon and Persona 4 would get eviscerated.

The Euro vote would be like the 4am-9am range

Ys VIII in the top half of the stats

what a time to be alive

I mean there were rallies for witcher. But who cares? This is nothing compared to Draven and Undertale. Just people trying to support what is a legit GOTD game and it wasn't that significant. If you take away the double registered votes and have a completely normal match BOTW ends up around 57-58%.

It could have been a lot worse for BOTW if those Witcher Rallies had taken off in a serious way.

You haven't even played RE2.

Yamaneko22 posted...

While that did partially explain why Witcher did so well during the late night vote and morning vote, it was more extreme than I would have expected from Witcher. In a normal match without any rallies, I'd expect BotW to only drop off to around 54-55% during its worst time period rather than the 51% it had during the late night vote. And the day vote was a lot worse than i would have expected from BotW, where it should have recovered more than it did from its terrible night vote and morning vote.

So, the fodder line actually fits really nicely at 20% on BotW, with Minecraft right below it.

And then LOL FFXV for being the next game under Minecraft.

In hindsight if BOTW got disqualified and Smash made it to final Witcher would have handily beaten it.

HGSS was a lot weaker than GSC. Even assuming the current BotW vs MM bonus match had zero SFF, GSC is still higher than HGSS.

28. Animal Crossing: New Leaf – 25.70%
57. Journey – 19.76%
76. The Walking Dead: A Telltale Games Series – 15.98%

Interesting to see where the bottom feeders of 2015 ended up ranking at. Gee, I wonder which one of these games might have been SFFed in 2015.

Today's poll is related to the next GameFAQs contest:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/8091-

This was modeled after a similar poll topic on the board, but I noticed he included an option for Best. Series. Ever. II, an idea I suggested in a topic where I had to vote for the "Other" option.

I feel like the PotD could just be an exercise to cast off anyone that votes for Rivalry Rumble II.

it's pretty telling that the board doesn't want a traditional contest next

I'll be interested to see how those numbers change over the course of the day

If Game of the 90s can keep this placement up the whole day, I might have a shot at willing that contest into existence after all.

There would probably be a dozen plus games weaker than Phantasy Star 4.

Forget PSIV, have some of this:

Poor Crystalis

At the very least, the fodder in a 90s contest is still going to be someone's nostalgia trip. And I'd still take stuff like Donkey Kong 94 or Lunar: Silver Star Story to pulverize the bottom half of this decade's fodder.
