XIII_rocks 12/18/11 2:04:00 PM #303:	I was saying this in B8C yesterday but honestly, for me, SSBB/FFX/RE4/SSBM would all have been good winners. RE4 is one of the most ubiquitously popular games out there. The amount of people who actively dislike it, from my experience, is very very small. Good sales, critically well-received, completely revolutionized a series and genre, has a cult fanbase and mainstream success. SSBB and SSBM are both great games in their own right and the tournament fell in a way that had them set to meet each other. Honestly they were both well-received, both well-liked, both had fantastic selling points. They both delivered in pretty much every way, and whichever one won would have been a fine winner. I personally loathe FFX but it's a good choice if we're calling something GotD. On a site that loves jRPGs and Final Fantasy in particular, you have FFX, which is pretty much indisputably the best FF (and arguably jRPG) of the decade. An incredibly well-received game and very loved. The only criticism of it is that, because of how early in the decade it came out, it could be seen as a shadow of the 90s in the way MM is. But I think being a PS2 game - undoubtedly the console of the 00s - kind of puts that one to bed. Plus it came out well over a year after MM. MM was a horrible winner, the definitive example of people just flocking to "The Zelda Option". Developed in the 90s on a 90s console with a 90s engine, the inferior to OoT in terms of criticism and fan reaction. Just terrible. GSC would have been a poor winner in a similar kind of way, so it's not some kind of anti-Zelda or MM bias (I've never played it). -- http://img.imgcake.com/22763810150194882301443717534644274676943735581nmu.jpg <cite>XIII_rocks posted [p:567879] in yeah, I th...

It's way more complicated than that. More features and characters isn't necessarily enough to make a game stronger, or to even justify it being stronger. The 2D sections in SMG2 are better than the entirety of SMB, but which one would win a contest match? Also, recall how easily the original Halo, with its non-online multiplayer and non-HD graphics, easily beat Halo 3. Melee was THE biggest GameCube game and THE preeminent console multiplayer game for three years (until Halo 2). When it launched, it represented the standard for console multiplayer games. When Brawl launched with its gimped-ass multiplayer, it was already lagging behind $10-15 Xbox Live games. -- Yoblazer: http://oi53.tinypic.com/2hd0dh1.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! <cite>PartOfYourWorld posted [p:567886] in yeah, I th...

Explains why TP beat Brawl right? Also you understand nothing about how the Zelda fanbase works, particularly the people who like Majora's Mask. It's preferred to OoT by not a majority, but a very significant, devoted fanbase. It has a lot of appreciation with the more "hardcore" and that makes it a good rally target. And that's why it won, not because it's a Zelda game or running on OoT's engine, but because it's just very loved by that very devoted group. I'd argue a lot of MM fans aren't even really fans of the series as a whole. And while I am disappointed that what was functionally a 90's game won, I can at least say that it wasn't because of 90's nostalgia or being a direct sequel to OoT, but because the game itself was very loved. -- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig <cite>Lightning Strikes posted [p:567888] in yeah, I th...

Tripping is one of the things I was about to use as an example. It's a lame feature but I don't really mind it. Certainly it doesn't kill the game, it's just an annoying flaw.

Ngamer64 12/18/11 9:39:00 PM #334:	*Guess how many teens posted...* We need the battle contest to have each battle like the final one. Heck yes, turning Battle into a simplified version of Spread Bet would be sweet. Though really there were enough upsets for normal Battle to be fine for GotD, and it'll be fine for 128 Games again also. *transience posted...* Skyward Sword would get rocked by Twilight Princess. hell, Link's Awakening could probably take Skyward Sword. TP could win, though I still think it would be close... but fine, let's see what happens in GotY before making any further assumptions. *Lightning Strikes posted...* Brawl didn't really gain anti-votes. If it didn't get anti-voted against Melee, it wasn't going to suddenly start. MM just gained a ton of momentum. Disagree, Brawl looked quite clearly stronger in the early half of that bracket than it did against Fallout and Majora later on. Melee/Brawl asked "which Smash do you like more?" and since the GameCube didn't take off outside of the US, people answered Brawl. But when voters realized "wait, this is going to win GAME OF THE DECADE!?" in the last rounds, they turned on it. *XIII_rocks posted...* MM was a horrible winner, the definitive example of people just flocking to "The Zelda Option". Developed in the 90s on a 90s console with a 90s engine, the inferior to OoT in terms of criticism and fan reaction. Just terrible. GSC would have been a poor winner in a similar kind of way, so it's not some kind of anti-Zelda or MM bias (I've never played it). welp *LOLContests posted...* What Bacon should do is just set up a schedule of contests in a five year cycle that can be repeated. If he has time to have little side contests, fine but otherwise don't worry about switching things up. Year 1: Characters Year 2: Non-VG Characters Year 3: Games Year 4: Characters: Year 5: Something different/GOTD when applicable There, done. Would this be difficult to stick with? Yup, a yearly rotation of Games/Characters/Something Different (along with some possible mini-brackets thrown in here and there) would be ideal. I think we all agree that doing a Character Battle every single year like the old days isn't necessary/desirable anymore. *HaRRicH posted...* While GameFAQs has fallen into a rut of sorts where it's not changing its tastes much lately, I'm not letting this contest discourage future contests. This one was a bad idea from the start AND it was poorly designed. Furthermore, if it was a contest designed to give Link/Ganon a scare, what a terrible time to hold the contest; this is LoZ's twenty-fifth anniversary, LoZ:OoT3D came out earlier in the year, and LoZ:SS released mid-contest. That's a tough task for anyone already trying to do the near-impossible of defeating Link. We've rebounded from bad contests before and can again.

Nintendo is going to start dominating the popularity at the top, and there's almost no real way to fix it. -- "When I was a young man, I had liberty, but I did not see it.
