squexa 05/12/20 10:18:53 AM #107:	Skyrim's likely fallen since 2015 or there's some SFF here. Witcher 3 is worth 65.6% on RDR2 (the Persona 5 rallies against Witcher and Portal presumably cancel), while BotW is worth 68% on ME2. Even if you believe RDR2 = ME2 (which seems like a big stretch to me), BotW still wins with 54%. --- congrats to BKSheikah the BYIG guru <cite>squexa posted [p:939028617] in Contest St...

LusterSoldier 05/12/20 10:54:22 AM #118:	MechanicalWall posted... It's actually crazy how much Europe is propping up Witcher here. Despite being over 55 in the overall poll, it's only at 51.08 in the US. Neither of these games really appeal to the Asian countries, yet Witcher is being favored much more heavily over Skyrim in Asia. There's also the possibility that we're seeing higher than normal turnout from Europe today, but I can't determine this due to the lack of continent-level voting results (including total votes from each continent). Back when we could see the total number of votes from each continent, Europe was capable of maxing out at about 18-19% of the total votes so today's match may be on this level of turnout or even higher. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ \| ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Advokaiser, Guru Champ! <cite>LusterSoldier posted [p:939030004] in Contest St...

Prior to the late 2000s WRPGs were an extremely PC-centric genre which is why they never got a lot of recognition. I wonder if like, idk, Planescape Torment would be a mid carder if it got a decent PS1 version back in the day or something.</quote> This is a great point and I do think Planescape and the old Bioware games would be a lot stronger if they got console ports. KOTOR is our earliest WRPG that has decent strength here and I wonder if its mostly because of the Xbox port (even if GameFAQs doesn't like Xbox, it likes it more than PC). </quote> ...
