There is literally no way to judge F/GO's strength as a game.

Well, that's the worrisome part. Not only do we have no data, but it's also the game I've heard the most from the board as literally not having ever heard from it.

Like, correct me if I'm wrong, but F/GO is the only game on the bracket that's exclusive to mobile.

At least Journey won its awards an such around the time ICO+SotC Collection popped up.

Can you play Subnautica on consoles?

IT came out as an early access game for PC and Xbox One 4 years ago then got a full release everywhere 2 years ago.

Journey won a lot of awards, sure, but it's still a walking simulator and that isn't our jam.

Well, Journey was in BGE3, so I await to see where it would land in the 2015 stats.

FF14 needs to stay above 70% and MK8 needs to drop a good amount for next round to be in doubt. There's only so weak Uncharted 4 can be..........I think.
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.

Journey was in 2015 so we know it is weak. It gets fed to Skyrim next round. So I'm not entirely sure what there is to be worried about.
Link isn't the only one who kicks ass.
Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Contest!
Fate/GO brings in more money than 95% of this bracket. If that's your metric for a successful game, then hey.

Death Stranding is walking simulator. A boring one at that

Journey has some artistic pull to it

and SOTC isn't exactly this sites jam either and look what it did.

People dig Artistic games. I'm not saying Journey is SOTC level i mean far from it. But its respected to a decent level at least.

Yeah I still think MK8 will win, but when I initially checked today’s results it was looking like it could be a doubling (for some reason it slipped my mind that it was only like 5 minutes into the match and not stabilized yet).

I mean....For a hyped up sony first party game on what was at the time(pre Switch) THE most popular console on the planet....it did poorly. losing out to mediocre pokemon and FF games. And that was back then

Uncharted 4 hasn't exactly gotten stronger.

No its strong because its a masterpiece of a game. I know that. But SOTC is also a game hugely respected regardless of genre. And SOTC's strengths are mostly artistic story narrative. Everything about that game imbues Art in a video game. Its pure. The bosses are great too.

Journey is also respected to a much lesser degree. People don't hate that game.

SOTC is strong because it's 16 really cool and unique boss fights.

People don't hate Journey but I imagine most people just don't care about it.

I just think it's impressive that Journey can actually almost double something when you KNOW it's gonna get fodderized by Skyrim.

We've said this a million times already, but Fate is my candidate for bottom of x-stats in this contest.

Even though Board 8 has been known for being really high on the Xenoblade series, it actually does worse among registered users than anonymous users.

Diablo III does about 1% worse among registered users, but it should have been even greater than that due to its opponent being VLR along with Blizzard anti-votes.

The Last of Us doing almost 2% worse with registered users is a big surprise to me. Crusader Kings II is absolutely not a GameFAQs game and is pretty much a PC exclusive (also available on Mac and Linux).

The largest split of yesterday was BioShock Infinite doing almost 3% worse with registered users.

Overall, these matches had their lowest percentage of votes coming from registered users so far in round 1. The matches averaged 54.09% registered users, though it will be interesting to see if the percentage of registered users drops off in round 2 when most of the fodder is eliminated and the anonymous users are less turned off by the forced voting.

My nom rally was more effective than I thought it would be?

It does have the most active board for iOS

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/iphone

Which doesn't mean much past the first 3 games, since Android is more popular for mobile game discussion as a whole.

Well, I take my point loss in this with pride! I have Mario Kart 8 > FFXIV in the next round anyways.

I'd be skeptical of equating Phoenix Wright the game with Phoenix Wright the character, but Ace Attorney Trilogy is basically on every platform now, as opposed to back then when it was only on the DS. I notice it's regularly on Switch's best selling downloadables, too.

Well, PW1 has always seemed a step ahead of T&T, so I do think there is some relationship there.

Good point about the series continuing to be on every possible thing that can play a VN, though.

That's a pretty easy turnabout, especially since lower votals and registered user bonus would favor the f*** out of PW here.
