I
think on a different site, and with some lucky seeding, LiS would make a
decent run in a GotD contest. I'd take it over pretty much every indie
and most of what we'd consider midcarders in this contest (Fire Emblem,
Dragon Quest, some other s***), though it still probably folds against
strong Nintendo and western juggernauts like Last of Us and God of War. If
you're only on this board to whine about "SJWs", please redirect
whatever you type on to the nearest trash can. And hop in after it. |
shane15 posted... Always thought the Japan vote on here was just a bunch of weebs living in Japan and not actual Japanese people. MZero is Japanese, right? Either way, if they were weebs, they should be voting for Berseria! It's an honor being part of Board 8's community. (edited 3/27/2020 9:08:42 AM) |
also I'm already looking forward to round 2 so we can start getting preliminary X-Stats |
ctesjbuvf posted... I agree that this site isn't the place where LiS would fare best, but it's my experience that people that like it really like it, in other words a really vocal fanbase that generally has little tolerance for any negativity towards the game. It's definitely not as big as some people make it out to be. That explains the 9 seed for this fodderous game. Advokaiser picked Cloud in Guru and rained on my bracket. At least I finished 20th overall! |
I
mean I imagine a lot of the 8 and 9 seeds will finish near the bottom
of the X-Stats because they have enough of a fanbase here to get a
decent seed but nobody else cares about it Fate/Grand Order sleeper pick for dead last in the X-Stats |
LeonhartFour posted... No, MZero is from Arizona. Hmm… I'm sure there was at least one Japanese B8er in here. It's an honor being part of Board 8's community. |
I mean, MZero lives in Japan now. As far as a B8er who was born and raised in Japan? Not that I can recall. We do have several Asian B8ers, but I don't think any of them are Japanese, but I could be mistaken. (edited 3/27/2020 9:19:53 AM) |
the bracket glitch from earlier is fixed by the way |
Voltch
is Japanese IIRC but lives (born??) in the UK I think. No idea if he's
still here, I forget who's active and who's not almost instantly. I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh Advokaiser (edited 3/27/2020 9:43:16 AM) |
I thought voltch was Vietnamese, but he's also lived in France before living in the UK. I did see him the other day but he doesn't come by often anymore. |
I
made a list of every contest game's Metacritic score (except for
Fate/Grand Order which doesn't have one). Looking at this, you can see
how the bracket was likely heavily selected/seeded using these numbers. I
took the highest score out of all the platforms a game was released on,
and didn't include later ports, remasters, goty editions, and so on.
Only ports from the same year were counted. Only 4 games had a score in the 70s: Destiny, Dragon's Dogma, Dying Light, and Street Fighter. Three of those have a decent number of hardcore fans, so I could see them getting plenty of nominations (I dunno how to explain Dying Light, though). I'll also note that Fortnite's score is weird since it only has a few reviews, and some are from the single player version. 89 (1) Dark Souls 97 (1) Grand Theft Auto V 96 (1) Mass Effect 2 93 (1) Persona 5 93 (1) Super Smash Bros. Ultimate 96 (1) The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim 97 (1) The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 93 (1) The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt 92 (2) Bloodborne 86 (2) Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age 89 (2) Fire Emblem: Three Houses 94 (2) God of War 88 (2) NieR: Automata 97 (2) Red Dead Redemption 2 97 (2) Super Mario Odyssey 95 (2) The Last of Us 96 (3) Batman: Arkham City 84 (3) Fallout: New Vegas 90 (3) Monster Hunter: World 87 (3) Pokemon HeartGold / SoulSilver Version 95 (3) Portal 2 93 (3) Resident Evil 2 92 (3) Undertale 92 (3) Xenoblade Chronicles 87 (4) Hollow Knight 89 (4) Horizon Zero Dawn 95 (4) Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain 93 (4) Minecraft 95 (4) Red Dead Redemption 97 (4) Super Mario Galaxy 2 90 (4) Super Meat Boy 93 (4) Uncharted 4: A Thief's End 91 (5) Borderlands 2 83 (5) Final Fantasy XIV Online: A Realm Reborn 83 (5) Final Fantasy XV 87 (5) Marvel's Spider-Man 93 (5) Persona 4 Golden 86 (5) Sonic Mania 89 (5) Stardew Valley 85 (5) Yakuza 0 94 (6) BioShock Infinite 94 (6) Celeste 89 (6) Dark Souls III 87 (6) DOOM 83 (6) Kingdom Hearts III 91 (6) Overwatch 91 (6) Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice 90 (6) Shovel Knight 88 (7) Animal Crossing: New Leaf 89 (7) Devil May Cry 5 88 (7) Diablo III 93 (7) Divinity: Original Sin II 89 (7) Dragon Age: Inquisition 92 (7) Fire Emblem: Awakening 88 (7) The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth 94 (7) The Walking Dead: A Telltale Games Series 88 (8) Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag 88 (8) Cuphead 88 (8) Fallout 4 n/a (8) Fate / Grand Order 91 (8) Halo: Reach 93 (8) Mass Effect 3 86 (8) Rocket League 91 (8) The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds 90 (9) Bayonetta 87 (9) Dragon Ball FighterZ 92 (9) Journey 85 (9) Life is Strange 90 (9) Sid Meier's Civilization V 93 (9) Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty 81 (9) VVVVVV 88 (9) XCOM 2 86 (10) Bastion 90 (10) Deus Ex: Human Revolution 83 (10) Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze 93 (10) Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft 88 (10) Nioh 88 (10) Ori and the Blind Forest 77 (10) Street Fighter V 88 (10) Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward 82 (11) Death Stranding 90 (11) Disco Elysium 91 (11) Dishonored 78 (11) Dragon's Dogma 93 (11) INSIDE 85 (11) Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch 92 (11) Rayman Legends 83 (11) Terraria 84 (12) Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night 87 (12) Crypt of the NecroDancer 90 (12) Dead Space 2 76 (12) Destiny 84 (12) FTL: Faster Than Light 87 (12) The Witness 92 (12) What Remains of Edith Finch 85 (12) Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA 91 (13) Dead Cells 90 (13) Dota 2 85 (13) Fortnite 83 (13) Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective 88 (13) Mario Kart 8 89 (13) Return of the Obra Dinn 89 (13) Slay the Spire 80 (13) Tales of Berseria 85 (14) Bravely Default: Flying Fairy 81 (14) Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair 88 (14) Night in the Woods 83 (14) Octopath Traveler 83 (14) Splatoon 2 88 (14) The Stanley Parable 87 (14) Tomb Raider 83 (14) Xenoblade Chronicles 2 91 (15) Bayonetta 2 88 (15) Call of Duty: Black Ops 82 (15) Crusader Kings II 75 (15) Dying Light 86 (15) Mortal Kombat 11 85 (15) South Park: The Stick of Truth 80 (15) The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC 85 (15) The Talos Principle 87 (16) Assassin's Creed Odyssey 87 (16) Baba Is You 87 (16) Heavy Rain 85 (16) Hotline Miami 86 (16) Resident Evil 7: biohazard 87 (16) Subnautica 82 (16) Tekken 7 85 (16) The Outer Worlds Congrats to Advokaiser, the new Guru champ! |

I
recall Dragon’s Dogma being a game SBAllen specifically told us was in
the top 100 most nominated in 2015 but didn’t make the bracket, so yeah,
it’s nomination support is probably pretty good this time too. [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO Advokaiser NO PEACE] |
For
the last games contest, SBAllen made sure no joke entries (games with
low scores) were allowed in. I imagine the same principle was applied
here as well. Game of the Decade 2 - Current Score: 0/0 Today's Picks: BotW, LiS, FFXV, Hollow Knight |

The
biggest problem with the metacritic consideration is Deadly
Premonition. I have no doubt it has more than enough nominations to make
it in. |
Oh yeah there's a contest Glad Hollow Knight is kicking ass. Also glad BotW is beasting but that's not really surprising. Current Screenshot Let's Play: Robopon Sun - https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3915539 --- https://mega64.net/ |
UshiromiyaEva posted... The biggest problem with the metacritic consideration is Deadly Premonition. I have no doubt it has more than enough nominations to make it in. It's rated 6.8/10 on Meta Critic, despite the user scores I don't think it was able to get out of that hole. Game of the Decade 2 - Current Score: 0/0 Today's Picks: BotW, LiS, FFXV, Hollow Knight |
Hm, is the Metacritic why Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice failed to get in? :( For

PrinceOfKoopas posted... Hm, is the Metacritic why Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice failed to get in? :( Nah they both have 81. Really I think people just split the support. I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh Advokaiser |
Yeah, I imagined they just LFF'd each other out. |
Same with the Pokemon games. Game of the Decade 2 - Current Score: 0/0 Today's Picks: BotW, LiS, FFXV, Hollow Knight |
With
just 1 hour left in the first day of matches, we currently have 14376
raw votes in the BotW match and 14258 raw votes in the Halo: Reach
match. Looks like my initial prediction of 14500 raw votes for the
first day of matches (based on the first hour of voting) will be fairly
accurate it seems. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Advokaiser, Guru Champ! (edited 3/27/2020 4:07:37 PM) |
After
Hk vs Berseria we don't have a hotly debated match for a while right?
If I'm looking at the bracket right not until DMCV V Donkey Kong? If

We
don't, but I'd be more surprised if there wasn't a random upset along
the way than if there was - there's so much we don't know and our
hypothesising is just that. We are living our lives Abound with so much information (edited 3/27/2020 4:14:53 PM) |
UltimaterializerX posted... I think Octopath has a chance to upset Undertale that day, too.Mmm after today I would think taking a bottom rung RPG to beat a highly acclaimed indie game is a pretty tough proposition. Octopath was considered disappointing by a LOT of people on this site and was very quickly forgotten. If
you're only on this board to whine about "SJWs", please redirect
whatever you type on to the nearest trash can. And hop in after it. |
Octopath would beat Berseria. It’s not bottom rung. But yeah Undertale will win easily. There has been some debate over TWD vs. Bastion but likely not. It’s more coming up with ways TWD could choke. I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh Advokaiser (edited 3/27/2020 4:15:16 PM) |
If
you believe really, really, really hard in Undertale anti-voting
Octopath has a shot, but at that point you're going 'Well, I'd take
ANYTHING over Undertale'. Not a stinky alien. :( Nintendo Switch Code: SW-5719-6555-8388 (edited 3/27/2020 4:16:22 PM) |
scaryice posted... Looking at this, you can see how the bracket was likely heavily selected/seeded using these numbers.Am I supposed to be seeing something I'm not here? Street Fighter V has an awful Metascore and an awful GameFAQs user score, so it would likely have to be top 30 or so in nominations to make a 10-seed with those taken into account. Likewise, F/GO has no Metascore at all, so it would again probably have to be top 30 or so in nominations to make an 8-seed if Metascores were used for seeding. Those are just two examples that typify the trend. "I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people who do." You won the CBX Guru Contest, Advokaiser! Bully for you! (edited 3/27/2020 4:22:52 PM) |
SFV
is weird in that its reputation has improved a lot. The most recent
version has an 87 on Metacritic. I don’t think that redeems the first
two years. FFXIV on the other hand, went 83 (ARR)>86 (PS4 version+Heavensward)>89 (Stormblood)>91 (Shadowbringers), it shouldn’t be judged by that ARR score I think. I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh Advokaiser |

How high can Breath of the Wild go?85% is about as high as it gets nowadays. It's proved its claim as the favorite to win. How much will Halo, a triple-A shooter, get antivoted?Unless Life is Strange is a secret powerhouse, the answer is "a lot." It was the conventional wisdom already, but it bears repeating: triple-As aren't safe. Will Hollow Knight, an indie game in a debated match, rise to the challenge or flop?Rise it does! Rather than Tales sucking, I see this as setting the standard for indies this contest. They can, and will, put on midcarder worthy showings, even in the face of legit competition. Questions to answer for today: Will Sekiro put on a good showing for the soulslike genre? If it does well, is Monster Hunter in trouble next round? Can Dragon Quest justify its 2 seed? |
WarThaNemesis2 posted... If you believe really, really, really hard in Undertale anti-voting Octopath has a shot, but at that point you're going 'Well, I'd take ANYTHING over Undertale'.And I'm banking on that. Octopath to round 3. |
