in a just world Ys VIII would beat Sonic Mania

Seems like we 're going to have a predictable one today folks.

Thought AC would do a little better, but everything else seems accurate.

Have to say, I still think RDR2 is going to stomp P5.

Ys VIII is great. Glad to see it going out with some semblance of dignity.

theres no dignity losing out to a trash series. Even if that trash series once produced good games

Of course you do. P5 could have 100% and you'd still think that.

Slay the Spire was one of like two games in the bracket I'd never heard of. Which isn't too meaningful I guess but still.

persona 5 is going cruelly abuse Red dead 2 or whoever comes out of the bottom half of this division.

Heavy Rain is one of the most well known 16 seeds so it's not going to be as weak as some of these more obscure titles.

KH3 > Portal 2 is easily the dumbest pick I made pre-contest, in which I knew it was a bad pick the entire time and still refused to change it.

All the other dumb picks came after seeing what the strength of some of these games are, for the most part.

I feel reasonably comfortable if the current percentages hold - as bad as Ys is, it has to be stronger than Slay the Spire.

this isnt 2015. People arent up Portals Rear anymore.

i oicked Kh3 because FF7 is coming out and that game will increase the Nomura nuthuggers on this site.

I had KH3 winning that half before I realized a lot of people don't like KH3

Civ has never looked trash though, it gas looked alright in numerous polls. It is basically the Cecil of games - theoretically strong enough to win a match, but never actually does.

I chose Civ knowing it was a dark horse. The way I see it, if you pick against the grain knowing it's a calculated risk, and that risk can't come through but looks respectable, it's not something you should feel bad about.

Not upset with ol' Mr. Meier here.
I can't help but think "GrapefruitQueen" is some idiot's idea of a joke to make fun of the guy that actually died. They really need a way to just remove usernames like that from the site entirely.

Definitely not turbofodder.

Heavy Rain was a decently big first party Sony game back when Sony was losing to market share to Xbox and has sold 5 million on PS3+PS4 combined, so its nowhere near the literal who indie games like Baba is You. Heck, it would not surprise me if voters know more about Heavy Rain than Persona 5.

It's main issue though is that the game's reputation suffered over time and is very divisive today with lots of people outright hating it.

its like Ss to a lesser extent. Has haters but franchise name is popular enough.

if FFXV was in this division it ultimately gets to final before losing. Thats how i feel about KH3

skyward sword would beat a ton of decent games. But against any elite game it would lose. But it would take a very strong game like a witcher 3 or skyrim to take out a zelda trash thats not nintendo.

KH is not on Zelda's level.

and this performance reflects that

this basically tells me two things

  • persona 5 is comfortably winning the division.
  • but it wont beat Witcher.
