El Stormo's Game Quiz, Year 3 day 6

Post » Thu May 03, 2012 5:54 am

Concerning the last round I'm not to upset about not getting any after seeing the answers. While I recognized a handful of games, I've never played any of them.

Impressive.

I got 5 points myself, making this easily my best round thus far. Missed one for not being specific enough. I expect that this round is intended to lift our spirits, before crushing it completely with a series of excruciatingly difficult questions even more impossible than the ones before. :P

Would you be so good as to name them while the rest of us gather our pitchforks?

It's obviously one of the top 5 or so, and thus doesn't matter much to the rest of you. I'd be surprised if it was someone with an average to low score.

Erm, hey, what can I say? I've got a great memory for facts. Now if you'll excuse me...

Answers submitted. I'm confident I did a bit better than in the last round at least. :P

That was a really enjoyable round. It wasn't a case of 'you know it or you don't'; you could think about each one a bit and try and deduce the answer, or at least make an educated guess. Nice one Stormy! :goodjob:

Knowing a lot of games is logically the first step to scoring well on a game quiz ;)

Yeah, this was definitely my favourite round so far, my tendency to pick up random facts from reviews and discussions actually came in handy for once in this blasted quiz (the other major time was in the "character deaths" round. Knowing one was Andy from Heart of Darkness? Read a review for it back in '98)

Assuming you recognize the characters :tongue:
With the exception of #3 and #10, most of the characters are either pretty famous themselves, or were in some of the biggest releases of the last few years (especially considering which forums these are). If you've been involved in gaming during that time, you should be able to get at least some of these. Also, don't get caught up in the faces you don't recognise, just focus on the ones you do know, think about what you know about them and what they did in their games, then consider if that might fit all of the others.

There wasn't a single question where I didn't recognise at least one character. Then it was just a case of 'what stands out about them'.

I think number 7 was probably the only 'if you don't know it you're buggered' question. :D

5 correct, not specific enough on one of them. Much better, especially since one was a flat out guess based on a cliche character type.

Even though I'm one of the two top scorers in the last round, I'm disappointed with myself. I believed that the four I got wrong were all songs I never heard from games I never played, but it turns out I did in fact play Shadow Hearts all the way through, and at least tried a demo of Heroes of Might and Magicka V. :sadvaultboy:

Good thing I got #10 in it, though. Can't understand those who played Persona 3 that still missed it; if you heard "Battle Hymn of the Soul," chances are you heard it for at least an hour!

1 and 6 are the only ones about which I'm sure. Great quiz, man.

Wow. Might've got 7 at most, but some of those were tricky. I didn't recognize a lot of the console-based characters or their significance. Good to see this game though.

Alright I think I've got something for all of em except 7(Haven't played it unfortunately). And while I haven't played all the games I think I know enough about the ones I do know to make a good educated guess on them.
