Mass Effect 2 would be far from the first game to completely fall off the map once people have moved on from the series. That said, for all the indie talk, Mass Effect 2 is looking lucky that it isn't facing Cuphead next round. Not a stinky alien. :( Nintendo Switch Code: SW-5719-6555-8388 |
this
is what i get for barely coming onto this site anymore. another missed
contest. I'd be fine with forfeiting the entire bracket that has already
started. just let me make one for the matches left. 2011 Rivalry Rumble Battle Contest Final Standing: 2nd place http://www.speedtest.net/result/1084886081.png |

SuperNiceDog posted... Mass Effect 2 had an INCREDIBLE trailer: If by incredible you mean giving away all the squadmates you meet then, yeah! Ugh, that's a prime example of why I no longer watch trailers. As someone who knew basically nothing about the series when I played it about 2 years ago, I would have hated spending all of ME2 waiting, for example, for the robot man to appear.

KamikazePotato posted... loooooooooool Fallout, even if it wins Here at the other side of the match, it's really hard to say it doesn't look good. But what a board vote VVVVVV had (or Fallout 4 didn't) Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to Advokaiser, the winner of the Character Battle X guru contest. |

Yeah the board vote this contest season is something else. I think Berseria was up like 35-8 when the match opened. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Well,
I think B8's influence over the first couple minutes is stronger than
ever, so you'll see weird things like that more often these days. |
ZeldaTPLink posted... I wrote this in the middle of CBX:Aren't they still producing the Sega Master System and Genesis over there? That would explain Sonic doing well over there (and further limits Nintendo's strength). |
Nintendogs posted... Aren't they still producing the Sega Master System and Genesis over there? That would explain Sonic doing well over there (and further limits Nintendo's strength). Nope, but they aren't producing SNES in USA, right? And yet, it's the dominating console. GameFAQs, regardless of country, is locked in the 90s. It's just that the 90s were different for each country. |
I
was breathing easy today, because I thought I took RE2 to win this
division. Then I double-checked and realized I have ME2 winning after
all. R.I.P. my bracket. ._. The music was thud-like. The music was... thud-like. |
I don't think that's necessarily bad. Ctesjbuvf posting on his phone. |
ME2 in my bracket, RE2 in my heart (and votes). If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person? #theresafreakingghostafterus |
I have ME2 > RE2 as well and don't feel bad at all. ..Yet. It's an honor being part of Board 8's community. |
ME2
might still take its division on the basis of how weak the rest of it
is, but this result should make anyone betting on it being upset along
the way pretty happy. It's possible those RE7 GotY polls were completely
fraudulent, but it takes a lot to go from getting destroyed by Doki
Doki and Cuphead to being worthwhile. Not a stinky alien. :( Nintendo Switch Code: SW-5719-6555-8388 (edited 3/29/2020 3:13:06 PM) |
KamikazePotato posted... Yeah the board vote this contest season is something else. I think Berseria was up like 35-8 when the match opened. The only other contest with insane board votes like the ones we're seeing in this contest was the Years contest in 2017. However, the insane board votes in the Years contest was a product of early voters being decided on their vote before the match started, while later voters outside of the board vote were generally basing their vote off the match picture. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Advokaiser, Guru Champ! |
Yeah, I'm still not too worried because I'm not convinced the 2019 GOTY field is all that good yet. |
All you people here talking about RE2 and I'm over here looking at Fallout 4 being the strongest in the division Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
KamikazePotato posted... All you people here talking about RE2 and I'm over here looking at Fallout 4 being the strongest in the division For ~~maths~~ purposes, for ME2 > Fallout 4, RE7 beats VVVVVV with just under 62%. Not a stinky alien. :( Nintendo Switch Code: SW-5719-6555-8388 |
WarThaNemesis2 posted... For ~~maths~~ purposes, for ME2 > Fallout 4, RE7 beats VVVVVV with just under 62%. I would have said pre-contest that VVVVVV would do worse than that. No clue now though. Advokaiser picked Cloud in Guru and rained on my bracket. At least I finished 20th overall! |
Match pictures ho! https://gamefaqs1.cbsistatic.com/images/contest/gotd-back/448874.png https://gamefaqs1.cbsistatic.com/images/contest/gotd-back/112861.png https://gamefaqs1.cbsistatic.com/images/contest/gotd-back/285543.png https://gamefaqs1.cbsistatic.com/images/contest/gotd-back/285251.png https://gamefaqs1.cbsistatic.com/images/contest/gotd-back/116628.png https://gamefaqs1.cbsistatic.com/images/contest/gotd-back/33571.png https://gamefaqs1.cbsistatic.com/images/contest/gotd-back/285291.png https://gamefaqs1.cbsistatic.com/images/contest/gotd-back/43355.png As always, replace "back" with "logo" to see the logos, and don't forget that the backgrounds will be clipped quite a bit, with the logos superimposed over them, in the actual match pictures. "I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people who do." You won the CBX Guru Contest, Advokaiser! Bully for you! |
KamikazePotato posted... All you people here talking about RE2 and I'm over here looking at Fallout 4 being the strongest in the division Yeah, I'm not too worried about that one yet either! |
Yeah,
I think ME2 looks just fine. RE7 is incredibly under-seeded here - it
would beat most of this bracket. Its series name and its generally
healthy reception assure that. There's nothing in ME2's half of the
division that prevent it from the division finals, and unless we get
some powerhouse showings from RE2/Fire Emblem/Bloodborne, I still
consider it the favorite there as well. Yoblazer https://imgur.com/gByqgPg (edited 3/29/2020 3:57:01 PM) |
Gall posted... Will Mass Effect and Fallout get anti-voted, or is the franchise backlash factor (FBF) just talk?Tough to call. Mass Effect doesn’t have a dominating performance, but Resident Evil 7 isn’t the kind of game that will just roll over and die. Fallout looks fine as long as you assume VVVVVV is worth more than total fodder. Keep an eye on the FBF in future matches. Can Borderlands justify its Game of the Year status, or should it be scared of Horizon next round?On the one hand, it’s possible that Bloodstained is a secret powerhouse, in which case Borderlands looks okay. On the other hand… look out Borderlands. Horizon certainly put up a performance to fear, which leads to… How hilariously can Fortnite flop?Very. No rallies here. Questions to answer for today: Between RE2 and DOOM, which can score a bigger fodder blowout? Speaking of RE2, will voters get behind remakes for nostalgia, or anti-vote for not being “real” games of the decade? (Does DOOM count as a remake?) Fire Emblem represents the lone Nintendo option in its division – is it a threat? Can Bloodborne justify its 2 seed? (edited 3/29/2020 4:41:28 PM) |
RE2
is going to kill Danganronpa. INSIDE is well liked, DOOM will win very
easily but Danganronpa is probably bottom five or ten. We may get our
fourth straight 80-20. Great pics again. INSIDE looks great. FE: Awakening has one if the all time great box arts it’s good to see. I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh Advokaiser |
Gall posted... Does DOOM count as a remake?No 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. |
Gall posted... Does DOOM count as a remake?No, it's an entirely new game in the series. Doom Eternal confirms it as a well-in-the-future sequel to the classic games. You felt your sins weighing on your neck. |
It's very on brand for DR2 that Monomi is in the image, but completely cropped out when the picture is on the site. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, the 2020 Guru contest winner. |
KamikazePotato posted... All you people here talking about RE2 and I'm over here looking at Fallout 4 being the strongest in the division lol no way RE2 would have gotten75+ on VVVVVV |
_SecretSquirrel posted... It's very on brand for DR2 that Monomi is in the image, but completely cropped out when the picture is on the site.Wow it's almost like Allen really likes DR2. Advokaiser picked Cloud in Guru and rained on my bracket. At least I finished 20th overall! |

Yuri_LowelI posted... doom isnt blowing out anythingBetter question: Will Dota and Minecraft blow each other out? Crossed fingers, crossed hemispheres. |
I seem to remember FE having a very good board vote from contests past. We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
Kotetsu534 posted... I seem to remember FE having a very good board vote from contests past. It definitely does. |

I'm enjoying DR2 at nearly 40 while I can. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, the 2020 Guru contest winner. |

Boy I hope this is just a bad board vote for INSIDE I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh Advokaiser (edited 3/29/2020 5:02:26 PM) |
Yeah, DR2 is pretty well-liked here. Not surprised it has a good board vote. "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." |
