The Last of Us has a strength of 27.36. The Last of Us wins with 54.11% of the vote! I think people don't realize how bad that LTTP result is for Dark Souls. People wrote it off as 'yeah LTTP is a beast whatever', but it didn't even break 30%. Dark Souls actually missed out on ranking in the top half of the X-stats (by one spot) and that's not great! I almost want to imagine that LTTP gave it some sort of weird SFF but that's wishful thinking on my part. GameFAQs likes easy, narrative-driven games and From Software does not fit that bill. Actually, in general I think From Software games are not as widely liked as they're made out to be. Their reputation is somewhat of a bigger deal than the games themselves. Everyone respects them but they don't at all fit the mold of what mainstream games are - general gamers also like easy, narrative-driven games. It's honestly amazing that they've grown to be as big as they are considering the difficulty and lack of handholding. So yeah, I can't take Dark Souls here. Maybe against a lesser-respected game than Last of Us, as Dark Souls might benefit from the 'Game of the Decade' moniker of the contest, but TLOU is also on the Game of the Decade shortlist for many people and is just as respected as Dark Souls is. I'm expecting/hoping that Dark Souls will be a bit stronger this time, as From Software games have grown solidly in popularity throughout the years, but I don't think it will be enough. Last of Us is the smart money. Expected Result The Last of Us > Dark Souls 52 - 48 --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. <cite>KamikazePotato posted [p:935553837] in In-Depth C...
