Also you may want to track comments, as i often tend to spoil some minor hints in discussion xD

HINTS:

As people struggle with some concrete questions, here's first set of hints:

Video Game Quiz:

Q3: This very successful title from 90s was rebooted not long ago, yet in totally different format.

Q4: This game, from very popular franchise was released on PC, Mac, GameCube and Xbox. Be careful with the answer format - you need to input FULL game name.

Q5: Graphics from this late 80s game and it's sequel were later used in original Lemmings in two special levels dedicated to this game.

Q13: It's exclusive game for handheld console.

Q15: This great aRPG game wasn't a big commercial success, despite having Metacritic score very close to 90. Additional hint, as people accused me that they tried every game on Metacritic - no you didn't. It's not old enough to be not-tracked, and both its original version and PC ports are on MC.

Q20: Despite being 5th game in a popular series, this exclusive title one was best selling one with over 5.2 millions copies sold in first 3 months.

Anime Quiz:

Q3: Just a small yet very big hint - answer is 1 character long xD

Q4: This popular anime from beggining of century has a very specific art-style, with reduced collor pallete, and specific graphic effects.

Q5: It's a remake of an older title.

Q7: Whole anime is about animals one of which you can see on screenshot.

Q9: 2012 is the year of invasion on Japan!

Q10: Main character joins a special competition, as he want to become God ^^

Q12: Both main characters names (nicknames? ;P) are in the title of this 2008-2009 anime.

Q17: Soundtrack for this series was recorded by Yuki Kajiura.

Anime Characters:

Q2: She's the love of title character of early 70s series.

Q3: Japanese Voice Actor for this character also voiced character in other anime. This character from other anime is believed to be most powerful and most evil mage in history.

Q5: Despite being ultra cute girl she has a big complex about scar on some part of her body, which in her opinion makes her ugly and hideous.

Q17: She's dead. And she is brought back to life in order to take her revenge.

Q19: She becomes a miss and a celebrity, and then the song she's singing ends the war.

Also to spice things a little bit bit first two solvers for each quiz will be invited into Private Giveaway. I will try to find some nice game in keys that none of them has ;)

I knew maybe 3 from anime quiz, none from the anime character(and this stuff is impossible to google really) and I could probably easily find the answer to 10 from the game one :/

In the game quiz, I only got 1, 4, 9, 13 and 19. I do think you should put in alternative spellings - I was wondering why it's not accepting the title in 4 until I thought of removing the dash.

Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

well - this ARE official titles ;) If some games have different official titles in different regions I added these - but different spelling? Description itself describes that if you are not sure of answer (meaning you know you're right, but it's still not correct) check it on Wikipedia ;p

On the other hand5/20 on first try without any research nor hints is quite a good score ;)

I copied 4 straight from its store page on Steam, that's why I suggested it.

As for what I didn't get right, I faintly recognize 5, 6 and 12. I never played them, but somehow I think I saw them somewhere else. I think I know what series 11 and 16 are from, but my initial guesses were wrong and I give up.

3 - it's a classic, interface and graphics should be enough ;P

5 - maybe spoil something later ;P for now look at the enemy maybe - haven't seen any other like that in it's generation ;P

8 - same as 3 ^^

10 - again - look at graphics, interface

14 - everyone at least heard about this ;P

15 - it's strange SS for this game, but it's on purpose ;P

16 - REALLY? o.O not even recognize series??

18 - sorry, no comments... HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW THIS ONE??

20 - almost same as above...

Well, only problems at anime character puzzles.
Q3 - zelghadis, you should stick with images directly from anime, too many characters match this shinsengumi xD
forced 2 franchises already, without luck...
Q5 - My Johnny does not recognize
Q9 - Can't recall... And it was quite popular... EDIT: Got her. Remembered the name. xD
Q19 - I remember it was somewhat 'funny' scene... ._.
That's for the problems I have for now.

11 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Q3 - it's very popular art - it's in many articles and videos, and posting SS for this character would be too obvious ;P

Q5 - it's image from OP/ED ;P

Q19 - very recognizable ;P character from one of most famous animes of 80s ;P

11 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Q3 does not match ANY characters from the show.
It was my first guess anyway, and since nothing matched, I went ahead and tried looking for other anime with 'similiar' characters.

Comment has been collapsed.

if by "shinsengumi" you mean actual anime you're on the wrong way ;P

i meant it by it's literall meaning ;P

another hint: this character is a man, not woman.

and yet another: in most (yet not every) scenes he seems to have black hair, not brown like on image ;P

I wouldn't say that she is VERY recognizable - she is definitely not, since there are better girls than her, got the answer anyway. :D
Hair mislead me hard, since I know original much better.

Nah, exams are coming and games to win on them aren't for me (though I know most of animes & games for this pzzles, I would have to do some intensive search for 2-3 titles). Wasted enough time searching these 3 charas I had problem with - worst thing is I knew them, but couldn't remember right. xD

It is fun to find missing stuff on tvtropes and other sites, then update 'em!

Thank you for actually listing the giveaway games for each puzzle. Too many puzzle makers want to keep that a secret and it's frustrating when you spend an hour on a puzzle only to find you either already own the game or don't want it.

1000 times ^this. I like to try to solve puzzles regardless of whether or not I want the prize.

I see no reason to hide what the reward for beating a challenging puzzle may be. Some of us have limited time and have to prioritize which puzzles we can accomplish before the giveaways expire and which we want to do purely for entertainment value.

Dang, I watch a fair amount of anime and I was only able to know ten of them. That was even after guessing three because I kind of remembered the scene/character. The other ten or so I have not even watched. On the anime character I know even less, six. A failing grade on both. ;\
