Rockstar still climbing though! They might be able to squeeze out a P4 port!

Just imagine, one of the best-selling games of all time beating a port exclusive to the Vita...!

Not happening, but just imagine!
Advokaiser 4/1/2020 6:40:33 PM#202
So what are we ranking the losing games' strength here?

I'd go FTL > XCOM 2 > Ghost > Baba

Granted, I'd still go GTAV > P4G > RDR >> Cuphead.

XCOM 2 is one of the only games in the bracket I haven't heard a thing of before.
It's an honor being part of Board 8's community.

Jeez I thought Cuphead/XCOM2 would be closer than this lol.
Current 14th place overall in the GameFAQs Game of the Decade contest!
NP: GTAV/Cuphead/P4G/RDR

If you want to argue there were never going to be 128 games worthy of a contest poll on this site from the last decade, today's matches are exhibit A. Four complete drubbings, and I wouldn't be sure any of the winners are even that good!

Pretty much, no one notable (strength-wise) is below an 8 seed. I think the strongest 9-16 seed is Mario Kart 8.

People are really underestimating Ghost Trick’s playrate here.

First, Baba is You is going to be the least played, it is a recent new indie IP from an unknown team. That takes time.

Second, Ghost Trick has slightly more registered owners on GameFAQs than FTL - the two are likely at a similar playrate. It also has a fantastic rating at 4.4.

Ghost Trick will be weak, but not bottom of the barrel by any means. It has that dedicated AA fanbase after all. I think it beats FTL, and it definitely beats Baba is You.

Also XCOM 2 is easily the strongest here. We saw FTL vs. Enemy Unknown in a poll and it got tripled. How much stronger is the question. However while GTA may still edge it, the Cupset does look quite good.
I just decided to change this sig.

I can't even see it beating Cuphead and if it gets P4 in the semi it's got no chance.
ctesjbuvf 4/2/2020 2:48:28 AM#226
I can't see it losing to Cuphead at all.

Though I can definitely see it look ugly at first given the early vote today.

That dedicated AA fanbase that didn't really play it. Not to mention the only AA game here that even has decent strength is the first one. T&T has been tripled by SOTN and FFIX, and Ghost Trick will be significantly weaker than even that.

"Registered owners" is a meaningless statistic because it's such a small sample size and a lot of us have completely ignored it within a year of it being rolled out.
I think direct extrapolation from 2015 has Ghost Trick getting 18% on Shadow of the Colossus. Then again considering what an almighty whacking SOTC gave TF2 that's actually plausible.

ZeldaTPLink 4/2/2020 5:25:52 AM#232
I mean I could see myself plying it but between AA, Danganronpa, Zero Escape and it, there are only so many AA-like games I can play before I want a break from them.

Or if it's AAI, 10% of the game before I need that break.
Yeah plugging Ghost Trick into the 2015 stats has Team Fortress 2 barely doubling it, which does seem reasonable.
"Nothing I could do!"
-Darksydephil
I don’t think the site stats are great as I’ve said before, but FTL and Ghost Trick came out fairly close together and neither would encourage more people to check in that way like say an RPG. I am nog confident and it’s not great. But if there is an audience for Ghost Trick it’s probably this site. The only thing I’m confident on is XCOM 2>the rest.

I think RDR will be a bit stronger. It got a sequel and came back in relevance before that.
I just decided to change this sig.
Blaaaaaaargh Advokaiser
Assuming Persona 4 Golden has comparable strength to Persona 4, FTL gets 15% on Twilight Princess. Also, plugging Baba Is You into the 2015 x-stats has it getting 18% on Mario RPG and 20% on Oblivion, which doesn't seem TOO unreasonable.

Who knows though? I just wrote off Persona 4 Golden because of it being a port and figured GTA couldn't possibly choke against its own parent company, right? Plus this is V, not San Andreas, and honestly San Andreas's past contest results don't look that bad if you take into account every game it has lost to being more in this site's wheelhouse.

Persona 4 Golden has 4.60/5
Red Dead Redemption has 4.39/5
Xenoblade Chronicles has 4.58/5

I think Red Dead has no chance in this division.
