Round 4 Results

--

15 people submitted guesses.
The most common scores were 7 / 10 and 8 / 10.
The average score was 7.33 / 10.

Pretty even distribution of scores overall, although they trended high this time.

Hint:
61. A Valve game. Was not included in The Orange Box.

Answers:
Portal 2 6
Half-Life 5
Left 4 Dead 2
Half-Life Alyx 1
Left 4 Dead 2 1

There were some decent choices for this one, so a bit of mind reading was required to get it right. I actually expected more guesses for Portal 2, but maybe Half-Life 2 being #117 on the list helped clue people in to Half-Life 1.

Hint:
62. The most influential Dragon Quest game.

Answers:
Dragon Quest III 9
Dragon Quest I 4
Dragon Quest V 2

Dragon Quest I was technically a valid choice, but really, it's III. That game meant a lot to Japan and the genre as a whole.

--

Hint:
63. Dragon Quest but it reminded me of Pokemon when I was 10 years old, so I bought it.

Answers:
Dragon Quest Monsters 14
Dragon Quest V 1

DQV also has monster collecting, but only Monsters was available for purchase when I was a young whippersnapper.

Hint:
64. A phoenix rises from the ashes after a disappointing 4th entry.

Answers:
Phoenix Wright - Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies 11
Miles Edgeworth: Ace Attorney Investigations 2
Devil May Cry 5 1
Heroes of Might and Magic V 1

I tried putting in clues here. 'Phoenix' for Phoenix Wright, and 'Rise Form the Ashes' to reference a case name from the series. Some people ended up with a false positive of AAI using those clues, but their mistake there was assuming I would put AAI on a list of good games.

--

Hint:
65. A game well-known for never being officially localized, regardless of fan's repeated pleas.

Answers:
Mother 3 14
Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War 1

Only one game gets spammed in random Nintendo Directs chats due to being a meme. Reggie himself recognized it!

Hopefully, Fire Emblem 4 won't even be a valid answer within the next few years.

--

Hint:
66. Dying in the underworld. A lot.

Answers:
Hades 13
Binding of Isaac 1
Hollow Knight 1

Underworld=Hades was pretty on the nose.

--

Hint:
67. Technological limitations led to fog obscuring distant objects, which became a series staple.

Answers:
Silent Hill 13
Silent Hill 2 1

I probably made some of these hints too easy.

--

Hint:
68. Before it got re-released digitally, this JRPG may have been the most expensive PS1 game due to a low print run and strong word-of-mouth.

Answers:
Suikoden II 9
Vagrant Story 2
Valkyrie Profile 2
Xenogears 2

Full disclosure, I didn't exactly do in-depth research for this prompt. The others games could have been more expensive. With that said, I remember Suikoden II going for a jillion dollars back in the day, and apparently most of you did as well.

--

Hint:
69. Heartbeat Heartbeat Book Organization

Answers:
Doki Doki Literature Club 12
Persona 4 2
Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors 1

A direct play on the title. If you knew, you knew.

--

Hint:
70. A Visual Novel with a bunch of plot twists and no real ending.

Answers:
Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward 11
Umineko no Naku Koro ni 1
Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair 1
Steins;Gate 1
Tsukihime 1

Responses were more accurate than I expected. Kinda funny how many people agreed with my assessment of VLR's plot! 'Middle child' was somewhat ambiguous, but I wanted to make a clue about it being the 2nd game in a trilogy without directly stating that.

With all that said...the winners of Round 4 are:
Mac Arrowny
Hbthebattle
MZero
All with a score of 10 / 10! The next-highest score was an 8 / 10, which a lot of people got.

The lightning round will be posted soon, and last for 24 hours. I'll also post writeups for the Round 4 games during then.
