I'm pretty sure Skyward Sword and 3D World will decimate half the field in GotD2 which quite frankly speaks more about the bracket than their strength. Regardless it would have been way more interesting to see something like FFXV vs Skyward Sword or 3D World vs Bayonetta 2 than literally everything with so much as a slight name recognition breaking 80% in Round 1.

I definitely do not think this would happen as neither of those hypotheticals would be close, or is it what happened. Compare the two Dragon Age entrants between GOTD1 and GOTD2 and how they did in round 1!

3D World definitely should have been in it, and Far Cry 3 is an interesting call. Theres solid arguments for Uncharted 3 and Skyward Sword, but also arguments against. I think Id rather better bracket placement for Uncharted 4, the vastly better game, than Uncharted 3 being in it! And we all knew GoW3 would not make it the second the 2018 game came out. The way I see it 3D World is THE snub and the rest are hm, theres an argument for it.

If were actually relitigating the GOTD2 I would replace these games:

Trails in the Sky SC
The Talos Pinciple
Ys VIII
Slay the Spire
Dying Light
Destiny
Heavy Rain
Crypt of the NecroDancer

With these games:

Super Mario 3D World
Skyward Sword
Uncharted 3
Forza Horizon 4
Titanfall 2 or Far Cry 3
The Witcher 2
LA Noire
Dark Souls 2

Then call it, and frankly only 3D World is essential. I also really think LA Noire should have replaced Heavy Rain but whatever. Also if youre looking at that list and going Forza Horizon 4, what? it is right behind 3D World and Skyward Sword in the rankings of best reviewed snubs, and had a surprisingly good GOTY performance. It beat Monster Hunter World! 3 did pretty alright as well. And of course, the Forza franchise is now the premier realistic racing franchise while the Horizon subseries is arcadey enough for GameFAQs to like it. Thats the top snub you never thought of for sure.
