ZeroSignal620 03/22/21 10:12:17 PM #63:	Best Game of 2015 https://www.bracketmaker.com/tmenu.cfm?1&tid=461812 Ran: January 2016 Overall top seed: The Witcher III: Wild Hunt 1 seeds: Witcher III, Metal Gear Solid V, Bloodborne, Xenoblade Chronicles X Final Four: Life is Strange, Rocket League, Bloodborne, Xenoblade Chronicles X Ultimate Loser: Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon Championship: Rocket League defeated Bloodborne 17-15 Two years deep into the new generation and 2015 would give us an assorted array of games competing for the crown. I brought back the monthly polls for what would be the last time, and the results were like so... January: Dying Light February: Kirby and the Rainbow Curse March: Bloodborne April: Crypt of the Necrodancer May: The Witcher III - Wild Hunt June: Batman - Arkham Knight July: Rocket League August: Until Dawn September: Metal Gear Solid V - The Phantom Pain October: Life is Strange November: Fallout 4 December: Xenoblade Chronicles X And appropriately so, all 12 games listed got the top 3 seeds in each region. With its recent GOTY win on GameFAQs and its dominant performance for May, The Witcher III earned the overall top spot. Also, our Best Game Ever winner Undertale finished 2nd place in the September poll, good enough for a strong #4 seed and paired in the same region as the game that beat it, MGS5! Only a few upsets stood out in the first two rounds. SOMA entered as a #12 seed and upset Eiyuu Senki. Rock Band 4 came in as a #11 seed and upset Mad Max, earning the franchise its first win in seven years. Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes entered as a #12 seed and knocked off Her Story and Ori & the Blind Forest in a nice run. Finally, Trails of Cold Steel entered the fray as a #7 seed but managed to upset Crypt of the Necrodancer in round 2. The two #1 seeds who made the final four did their thing as usual. Bloodborne thrashed Nintendo Badge Arcade, Dead or Alive 5: Last Round, and Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes in the first three rounds; it finally got a scare from Until Dawn before advancing with an 11-8 victory. Xenoblade Chronicles X dominated Pokemon Shuffle, but then had close bouts with Hotline Miami 2, Super Mario Maker, and Fallout 4 (the craziest being the 27-23 win over Mario Maker) before earning a spot in the semifinals. The other two #1 seeds, including the overall top seed, didn't fare so well. Witcher III shut out Fallout Shelter 14-0 and then flattened Assassin's Creed Syndicate 12-1. Once round 3 hit, Geralt had his hands full with the Splatoon crew, escaping with a 8-7 win. However, it ran into a brick wall when Life is Strange arrived in the Elite Eight; Life is Strange won 11-7 in a match where The Witcher III never led. Metal Gear Solid V continued the nice tradition of every full length MGS game getting a #1 seed. It took matters into its own hands with big wins over Chip's Challenge and a Mario edition of Puzzles and Dragons. Then it was time for the showdown in round 3 with Undertale. Undertale was filled with determination and forced MGS5 to go into overtime. It wouldn't be enough, however, as The Phantom Pain held off the Best Game Ever with a 27-23 win. Little did we know it would be the final victory for Metal Gear Solid; MGS5 would be the first game among the 5 main Metal Gear Solid titles to miss the final four, losing to Rocket League 10-9. The semifinals would be close from start to finish. In the battle of #2 seeds, Rocket League escapes with a 12-10 victory over Life is Strange. In the battle of #1 seeds, Bloodborne escapes with a 12-11 victory over Xenoblade Chronicles X, earning From Software its first appearance in a championship. Many thought Bloodborne would seize the day, but in a turn of events, Rocket League would pull off the big win by 2 votes. 2015 would be the year that indie games would start appearing more, and some even brought the fight to the more highly noted titles. Along with that, seeing Phantom Pain fail to live up to previous Metal Gear Solids was a shocker, but then again, Rocket League had a strong following in 2015-16. Also, don't let the upset to Life is Strange fool you; Wild Hunt's run was the best for any Witcher title in these tournaments, though the real run Witcher III would impress people with wouldn't be for another four years. Regardless, 2015 was over, and I had a cool 11 months before even fathoming the idea of another GotY tournament, and 2016 had some hard hitters to contest for the grand prize!
