If this is Bloodstained's night vote... things aren't gonna go well for it tomorrow morning. :( For

TheCodeisBosco posted... Holy s***, the anonymous voters are something else this year. Heavy JRPG bias it seems. SuperNiceDog posted... early star of the contest = horizon zero dawn? Nah. like i said...Fortnite is probably going to be THE most antivoted game in the bracket. |
LordoftheMorons posted... In all of the splits besides TWD the winner was favored more by registered users, right? Could it be a heavy bracket voting effect (particularly due to the forced votes)? It’s easier to have an opinion on characters whose games you haven’t played than the games themselves. Bracket voting may be playing somewhat of a role in these splits, but I think the forced voting is a much bigger factor. There's also the fact that characters are much easier to vote for as you can base your vote on character design alone if you aren't interested in researching more information about the character such as their back story or personality (which some people factor into their votes). Games are harder to vote for as they generally requires hands on exposure with the game to make a properly informed decision on which game to vote in each match, as the other alternative would be watching gameplay footage of the game on Youtube or another site.

PrinceOfKoopas posted... If this is Bloodstained's night vote... things aren't gonna go well for it tomorrow morning. :( Its doing pretty well tbf. New game from CV makers and lets not forget the garbage Switch version that kind of ruined its momentum. Also people keep underrating Borderlands 2. Yes its one of the weakest GOTY winner we've had but the game itself was popular and won GOTY for a reason...a ton of people played it, loved it and voted for it, myself included. Lets not just dismiss it as canon fodder. (edited 3/28/2020 6:00:11 PM) |

Well thats the thing....Bastion is a game a ton of the "Hardcores" might vote for instead of TWD because tell tale games don't appeal to them. |
I just realised ME3 is also in this contest. I thought only ME2 was being represented by the ME franchise But it seems like its being fed to W3 early. That sucks |
Evillordexdeath posted... I think that RE7 is probably underseeded and much stronger than VVVVVV. That explains a lot. It's an honor being part of Board 8's community. |

Those registered/anonymous splits. We’re probably gonna have quite a few matches this year decided by those. Current Screenshot Let's Play: Robopon Sun - https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3915539 --- https://mega64.net/ |
LusterSoldier posted... Monster Hunter: World vs. Bravely Default Oh God, I'm screwed, aren't I? Monster Hunter-Bravely Default I at least thought could go either way. Ironically I probably would've gone with Monster Hunter if it actually *was* a WRPG, but Capcom was such trash in 2018 that I figured the pseudo-Final Fantasy game would take it. Seeing that it was the registered voters that really carried MH is a bit disturbing...but not as disturbing as seeing that they were a lot higher on Sekiro than the anonymous voters. I never even considered the possibility of Sekiro winning that match, because Ni No Kuni is a JRPG and Sekiro is an action-adventure game. If I'd done the extra research and learned that despite the very Japanese name, it was in fact developed by Activision, a western company, I might've honestly considered taking Ni No Kuni to double it, and not out of any illusion that Ni No Kuni was anything but fodder itself.

Advokaiser posted... Of all the results from today's matches, the only one that looks off to me is ME2/RE7. RE is a big name for a 16 seed. ~Jacksonville Jaguars~ |
Yeah, I feel like a big name like Resident Evil is only going to look so bad, even when it's a lesser entry like 7. |
Evillordexdeath posted... I think that RE7 is probably underseeded and much stronger than VVVVVV. This. I think RE7 would win comfortably head to head. ~Jacksonville Jaguars~ |
Is 7 a lesser entry? As bad as its GotY performance was it easily beats anything not called 1, 2, or 4. I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh Advokaiser |
Well, I think it's a lesser entry because I feel like a lot of the fanbase was scared away after 6 and may not have played it. |
Lightning Strikes posted... Is 7 a lesser entry? As bad as its GotY performance was it easily beats anything not called 1, 2, or 4. 3 would beat 7. 7 would likely crush 5 and CV. ~Jacksonville Jaguars~ |
Lightning Strikes posted... Is 7 a lesser entry? As bad as its GotY performance was it easily beats anything not called 1, 2, or 4. no it doesnt it wouldnt beat 5 CV or 3. but it would be slightly below those. Not by much |
plasmabeam posted... 3 would beat 7. 5 isnt as weak as you think 6 yes. 6 would legitimately be the weakest game in the bracket. Id be confident of fortnite beating Re6 (edited 3/28/2020 6:28:19 PM) |
Lightning Strikes posted... Is 7 a lesser entry? As bad as its GotY performance was it easily beats anything not called 1, 2, or 4. I mean it was critically acclaimed and loved by fans, but those GotY polls showed it like really weak sauce, for some reason. It's an honor being part of Board 8's community. |
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.pcgamesn.com/resident-evil-7/resident-evil-7-sales-4-million%3famp By early 2018 RE7 had sold 5 million copies, which is about what RE2R had sold by December https://www.thesixthaxis.com/2019/12/12/resident-evil-2-remake-sales-top-5-million-since-launch/ If

RE7
is weird. To my knowledge, RE fans liked the game. But it did really
badly in the GotY polls. It wouldn't surprise me if the GotY polls were
just inaccurate and RE7 isn't that bad. Link isn't the only one who kicks ass. Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Contest! |
Oh,
I doubt it's as bad as it looked in that poll. I'm not worried about
ME2 next round, if nothing else. I think you're just seeing the
difference between something like Fallout 4 and Walking Dead or Tales of
Berseria. |
From
my perception, people didn't know what to make of RE7 when it came out,
due to how wildly it had deviated from any previous RE formulas.
Appreciation for the game grew over time. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |

When
I think back to RE7's launch, a lot of people really liked the game,
but I remember a lot of people not liking the idea of it being the new
trendsetting ala RE4, what with it being in first person and having very
little to do with the overarching RE lore. Once Re2r was confirmed to
not be first person a lot of people were more comfortable with
appreciating RE7 as its own thing. If

Is RE7 the VR one? That's always good for a laugh at parties to scare people |
RE7;s GOTY performances shouldn't be taken that seriously. Also 2017 was stacked like a mother f***er. An iterative game like RE which people "enjoyed" isn't going to cut it with games like friggin Persona 5, Horizon and Nier Automata against it, Hell Cuphead destroyed it on the Xbox poll and it lost to PUBG in the PC one. GOTY polls should be taken with a grain of salt.. If we go by GOTY polls...God of War should have a shot at making the finals. But we all know its not going to be anywhere near it. Peoples perception of games change over time. For good or for bad. |
Just going through some RE7 polls and found this to be hilarious even though i'm not referring to RE7 in this poll... https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/6581-which-scheduled-first-quarter-game-are-you-most-looking Most anticipated game of 1st Quarter 2017 LOL. Talk about a massive hyped up game that turned out to be garbage. Also the the ME2 doubters https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/7514-whats-your-all-time-favorite-2-game It did reasonably well in this poll (edited 3/28/2020 6:59:53 PM) |
If they did best year in gaming JUST for the 2010s, which year would win? Which year would be 2nd, and which would be weakest? 2017 for the strongest, followed by.... 2016? Weakest being... 2012? SuperNiceChao about to win the Oracle 2020! TsunamiXXVIII and me will destroy all you noobs |
2010
was a pretty strong year for games. Mass Effect 2, Super Mario Galaxy
2, and God of War 3. I think it would be in the upper half(barely),
maybe like 5th out of 10? SuperNiceChao about to win the Oracle 2020! TsunamiXXVIII and me will destroy all you noobs |
SuperNiceDog posted... If they did best year in gaming JUST for the 2010s, which year would win? Which year would be 2nd, and which would be weakest? 2016 was easily one of the weakest for this site. Bottom half easily. I'd put half a dozen years above 2016 2016 we had a three way GOTY poll with Pokemon Sun and moon..FFXV and friggin Uncharted to which all 3 were relatively the same strength and in this contest below midcarders at best. Compare that to any other year. For me i'd say 2017>2018=2011>2015>2010>2019>2014>2013>2016=2014>2012 (edited 3/28/2020 7:06:48 PM) |
2015
had Bloodborne, Witcher 3, MGSV, Fallout 4, Splatoon, Life is Strange,
Undertale, Mario Maker, Rocket League. Weak Nintendo year though 2013 had Last of Us, Bioshock Infinite, GTAV, Link between Worlds, Fire Emblem Awakening, Mario 3D World, Assassin's Creed IV, launch of PS4 and Xbone After 2017 I'd probably take one of those two years If

Yuri_LowelI posted... 2016 was easily one of the weakest for this site. Bottom half easily. That's a good tier list Yuri, yea 2011 was a beast of a year, 2011 vs 2018 is very close. Skyward Sword +Skyrim vs SSB: Ultimate and the God of War remake and RDR 2.... I think I'd go with 2011 but it's close SuperNiceChao about to win the Oracle 2020!

weakest year is probably whatever year dragon age inquisition won goty in the game awards not just here but in general too. |
Sharinnegan posted... weakest year is probably whatever year dragon age inquisition won goty in the game awards https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5750-best-of-2014-game-of-the-year That would be the epic year 2014!!! That year Super Smash for Wii U won game of the year. SuperNiceChao about to win the Oracle 2020! TsunamiXXVIII and me will destroy all you noobs |
Sharinnegan posted... weakest year is probably whatever year dragon age inquisition won goty in the game awards 2014 . 2014 sucked in general. But on this site it had MK8 and Smash 4. Smash 4 won GOTY here not DA. If we weren'ttalking about Gamefaqs...2014 is up there as the worst year this decade. (edited 3/28/2020 7:19:32 PM) |
SuperNiceDog posted... That's a good tier list Yuri, yea 2011 was a beast of a year, 2011 vs 2018 is very close. Please don't call God of war a remake dude...please. Its literally God of War 4. Just rebooted in a different game design style. (edited 3/28/2020 7:23:02 PM) |
Yuri_LowelI posted... Please don't call God of war a remake dude...please. It was a new game? Lol I thought it was remake, it has the same name as the 2005 game SuperNiceChao about to win the Oracle 2020! TsunamiXXVIII and me will destroy all you noobs |
SuperNiceDog posted... It was a new game? Lol I thought it was remake, it has the same name as the 2005 game If it was it woudn't be eligable for this contest. No its just doesn't have any numbers attached. A soft reboot. Although it takes place around a dozen years after God of War 3. |

MechanicalWall posted... 2015 had Bloodborne, Witcher 3, MGSV, Fallout 4, Splatoon, Life is Strange, Undertale, Mario Maker, Rocket League. Weak Nintendo year though Is based on games and the strength of them. I don't know....2018 just seems stronger. Also launch of consoles is irrelevant |
