Xbox sorta died in general this PS4/switch/Xbone gen

ill quote this for when Bloodborne absolutely decimates Fire Emblem
Bloodborne's definitely the favorite over FE, but I originally had it over RE2 and still think it can manage that win (if not win the division outright) so anything that may scuff up its luster just a little bit is OK by me. Same for the two Dark Souls games in their big matches.

i mean yeah Bloodborne is definitely going to win. But its How it beats FE thats the key.

Someone earlier in this topic mentioned the FF7 remake showing people how bad FFXV is, I think Fire Emblem might have a similar case. Three Houses dunks on Awakening so hard that Awakening's scores in this contest are likely to suffer.

Whoaaa I almost forgot that tomorrow is one of the the days of the contest. Even if ME2 is a pretty safe favorite, it's not a huge stretch to claim that all four matches tomorrow are at least somewhat in play. Three definitely are.

no it wouldnt. Sekiro is a f***ing Hard ass game that barely many people beat. Its not your typical RPG driven souls like either which this site likes. Its a straight up action game.

so with that in mind more people have probably beaten Dragon age

then you have a very well loved 3Ds exclusive nintendo rpg series against a game that was an Xbox exclusive to begin with.

I played sekiro last year. I spent months on its board here on gamefaqs. The game is is way more hardcore than any soulsborne game because you have to GIT GUD. You cant grind your way through stuff. Many Many people dropped the game.

i did beat it though. But i died more on some bosses in Sekiro than the entirety of dark souls 3 and bloodborne.

game is punishing as hell. So are dark souls games but those games have Rpg mechanics, character customisation and a lot of room for playstyles and variety

it's over. ffxv will win.
Yeah I'm not sure what Hollow Knight's path to victory is here, but maybe it'll buck trends
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
A good third to forty percent of the people who got Sekiro beat it from the PSN trophy data I think. That is a lot.
I just decided to change this sig.

Pokemon has generally done well with registered users, and HeartGold/SoulSilver is no exception here. It does over 3.5% better with registered users.

Celeste outright wins among registered users, doing about 3% better with registered users. It was the anonymous users that actually flipped this match over to Rayman.

A 6 seed that isn't from a major franchise losing to a 3 seed in Round 2 in respectable fashion can't be Turd of the Round. Sekiro is doing what it should do.

Fair enough!

But yeah, Sekiro losing 55/45 isn't turd-worthy. If Monster Hunter had gone for 60%+ and made it look worse than Bravely Default, then I'd agree with you.

This also doesn't reflect well on 2019 games.

I mean, look at my username. Obviously I'm voting Xenoblade over Three Houses because I'm a Xenoblade fanatic. But Three Houses is a fantastic game that puts the rest of its franchise to shame. By dunking on it I honestly think you haven't played it and are judging it by what Fire Emblem games are usually like. If anything, Xenoblade is the underdog there, but entitled Smash players mad about Byleth might be enough to tip the favor to Xenoblade.

By the way, I'm pretty confident in Three Houses beating Ori but I think it's a bit early to call Xenoblade vs. Overwatch a shoo-in for Xenoblade. Xenoblade's fanbase is devoted but Overwatch's is larger and has broader appeal and name recognition.
