| Yuri_LowelI 05/24/17 4:03:11 AM #382 | LeonhartFour posted... It is extremely common for the most recent game to overperform in its first poll. This will tell us nothing about Breath of the Wild's long-term prospects. No but what it does tell us is it will be a force as far as modern games go. It has goty on lockdown. As much as I think skyrim was a well made and great game. Skyward sword being doubled in a goty poll by a non nitendo square game was just Embarrassing. This is a game that barely got 60% on friggin Phoenix wright. This game will be up there with along side majora and wind water level maybe even surpassing them long term. It won't be a disgrace like skyward sword. --- |

While I agree LttP benefits from all the 3D Zeldas, that is still quite the turn around relative to 2011 with only Breath of the Wild being the notable game added. Botw is still a pretty significant entrant. And games like majoras mask for remakes as well as wind water and TP. --- |

| Yuri_LowelI 05/24/17 2:06:53 AM #380 | It's amazing how strong OoT really is tbh. Even with the new "OoT surpasser" in BOTW and several other console zeldas it's still managing to get so many votes. Lttp should be ahead by a lot more. But looking at the poll itself. Skyward sword LOL. Rightly so. Pathetic excuse for a zelda game. Would love to see skyward sword in future contests against even mid tier games to see it get embarrassed. The only zelda game I didn't enjoy bar zelda 2. TP is a bit overrated too. But still decent. --- |

It's not like ALttP wasn't eligible for all those contests where OoT did well, so I don't know why putting them directly against each other would make a difference. A few times and lttp is clearly less popular. I think having every post OoT console zelda splits the votes. --- |

| Yuri_LowelI 05/22/17 2:19:41 PM #270 | red sox 777 posted... Yeah. OOT, FFVII, and RBY by themselves can probably get to 40% or so. I doubt it. Much larger Poole now. If that was the case these games would be absolute monsters on the site. I think20% is more accurate. But even that is a huge %. Think about it. Every video game ever made and almost a quarter is from just 3 games. 40 % is way too high. Also RBY isn't a favourite game of all time type. Just an incredibly well loved and nostalgic one hst spawned a phenomenon. --- |

I wouldn't trust MGS and FFT to carry a year when it's up against real Nintendo and Square stuff. You're forgetting that 98 was just a hugely respected and great year for games in general. OoT and Pokemon are a bonus. Half life Starcraft and metal gear alone would make 98 win in just about every other gaming site out there. --- |

| Yuri_LowelI 05/22/17 10:43:40 AM #4 | Mute_Guardian7 posted... Even though this contest is technically about the best year in gaming, Ocarina of Time is still blowing the competition away, as usual. I guess the OoT fanboys really want to make up for their embarrassing loss against that one game where a calculator turns into David Bowie. Yeah because 98 doesn't have a huge list of stellar games across many platforms. Fucking idiot. --- |

People thought FFX would blow majora away in 2010 by using xstats from 2009. Ct may win. But to suggest it goes in as a favourite is just delusional. --- |

| Yuri_LowelI 05/22/17 2:21:58 AM #247 | It still wouldn't beat OoT. Maybe for a few hours. But over 24 hours it just wouldn't last. A lot of the Nintendo support Ct has wouldn't do well against a juggernaut Nintendo game. It's ok beating FFX and melee which isn't a hugely elite game anyway before rallies. But an old Nintendo game like lttp or Mario world, Tc would struggle to hit over 55 against those games. --- |
| Topic | Rigged Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1275 |
| Yuri_LowelI 05/21/17 12:15:43 PM #115 | 94 is probably on par or maybe slightly weaker than 95 but super metroid/ff6 combo looks solid. Either way it will be interesting to see if 2001 can break 40%. If it was a match in a previous round I'd say no chance. But it's a final and 98 being in two polls consecutively might count against it. I might be bold and pick a 58-42 win for 98. 98 being a bit weaker due to poll fatigue. --- |

Don't see why we can't allow, say, 1999 to have Pokemon Yellow since it is a distinct game from Red/Blue. Of course it couldn't. But it wouldn't have got blown away. 99 is fairly weak let's be real. Though it did have donkey Kong 64 --- |

| Yuri_LowelI 05/20/17 6:11:26 PM #11 | Paratroopa1 posted... to be fair, PW:AA is almost twice as long as the original japanese release The GBA version never came out in the west. The ds version is an enhanced port which came out in Japan an is the same year I believe But yeah it would be stupid to include Jpn release dates because in the 90's the dates are all over the place. Just keep it consistent. I live in Europe. I didn't play a lot of these games in the year they came out in Us. But I have to just group them in that year. Melee and Ffx came out in 2002 in Europe. But I have to just accept them as 2001 games. Otherwise it becomes confusing. I know for me personally the actual year of 2001 I did nothing but play dark cloud and golden sun. But that's the year all of these games came out in the Us so I just take my experience with them and accept them as 2001 games even if I played them in 2002. --- |

Or should I name about 20 or so aaa as games from 2001. Also the fact that you didn't even name xenoverse 2 which was the best game to come out last year is just laughable. --- |

Lightning Strikes posted...Just to clarify on this, the size of OoT's victory over FFVII, Melee's victory over FFVII, CT's victory over FFVI, and FFVII's victory over FFVI all point towards OoT being much stronger. You have to make a lot of assumptions to put CT on top. Namely Melee weakening between rounds and FFVI being on a par with FFVII while getting SFF'd by FFVII but not CT. It's reaching. Wel what isn't worthless is noting how strong OoT is. And it's clearly the no.1 game on this site without any rallies and has been since 2008. --- |

But let's not act like cr is innocent in the rallying that contest from a ton of facebook groups. There was this one guy on here rallying it with a ton of determination. OoT beats it comfortably. Let's not delude ourselves into thinking otherwise. But CT Fans can dream if they want. With the current low votals now it probably bearts ff7. But that's about it. --- |

Rocket league is clearly a well made and polished game but honestly it's too slow for me and I don't like the mechanics. and as big football(soccer) fan it didn't do much for me. --- |

Mk64 was a better multiplayer game but it was close. But diddly Kong had he best single player of any kart racing game ever made. So it was better than any MK game Imo. If mk64 had the same stuff DKR did it would be an elite tier goat game. It was just an excellent multiplayer game. DKR had everything. The best campaign of any racer. --- |

Just watch Allen goes all in with his trollness and removes RBY/OoT for Gex: Enter the Gecko and Shogo: Mobile Armor Division 98 stil has a ton of the pc crowd vote though. Also Nintendo fans aren't going to forget about no OoT or Pokemon. It's imbedded in their minds 98 is the year for them in terms of those two games. So it's irrelevant. I think some fans needed reminding games like goldeneye even came out in 97. And let's be honest. You could have no pics. 98 would still win. --- |

| Yuri_LowelI 05/20/17 12:53:06 AM #358 | 97 might be in the lead by the time USA Wales up again. Europe loved ff7. More so than any other game. 2001 deserves to be in the final though. This is a best year contest. Not a best year with your fav games. The depth is insane. 98 also has depth with a higher raw strength quality. But those two years are clearly the two best years when you factor in both quality and quantity. --- |

| Yuri_LowelI 05/20/17 12:38:52 AM #331 | Why are people talking about pic sabotage? Sure goldeneye should be in but still. It has ffvii in it. That's all yo need. Even if both years had the best possible pics. It's a bad performance from 97. People were overhyping 97 becuase it beat what was an awful 96 year with literally one game of any note. If people think goldeneye is making a big deal then they better hope 97 doesn't make the final becuase it will get absolutely walloped. 98 will literally make most all of 97's n64 support useless and crush 97. 2001 with its incredible depth will at least make it respectable. Might even hit 40. But I doubt it. --- |
