Master Moltar 04/03/20 3:42:32 PM #90:	Round 1 Stardew Valley vs. Destiny Moltars Analysis Who keeps letting Destiny into these game contests?! Last time we saw it, it was getting tripled by Starcraft. At least this time, its battling something closer to its weight class. Stardew Valley should be decent for an indie game. It has gotten much more exposure since its 2016 GotY showing and has become much more widely available. People also actually like the game, though Im not sure how much it resonates on GameFAQs. Moltars Bracket: Stardew Valley Moltars Prediction: Stardew Valley 66% ____________________________________________________________________________ transiences Analysis Everyone seems to insist on ranking indie games, as if they're somehow in the same genre or have the same fanbases. Well, if you want to go that way, Stardew's in the top 5. It's pretty interesting, actually - the games that do well in the indie space are ones that evoke feelings from a lost age, but Stardew is largely its own thing. Yeah, there were games like Harvest Moon that it pulls from, but people aren't coming to it for a long lost sequel like they do Hollow Knight or Ori or Cuphead or VVVVVV. It exploded in the same way that Undertale exploded: for its chill vibe and word of mouth. Stardew's advantage is that it didn't become a meme that won a previous GameFAQs contest, which apparently turned a significant number of people against Undertale. Stardew's opponent is Destiny which is one of our weaker games. Destiny is probably better now than it was in 2015, though I'm surprised we get the original and not the seemingly superior Destiny 2. Destiny is a service game that so doesn't play here, and with Stardew being halfway legit, it might go real big. transience's prediction: Stardew Valley with 73.65% ____________________________________________________________________________ Leonharts Analysis Are you ready to see Destiny get tripled again? Seriously, who the heck nominated this game into another contest? Weve already seen stuff like Fortnite and Dota 2 get absolutely pummeled, and I expect the same to happen again to Destiny. Stardew Valley is probably one of the strongest indie games, and its an easy magnet to suck up those anti-votes. Its been interesting to see these top tier indie games start off hot and bleed tons of percentage afterward. Theres no telling how high Stardew Valley will get here, but if theres a situation where it can get high and stay high, its this one. Leonharts Vote: Stardew Valley Leonharts Prediction: Stardew Valley with 73.73% ____________________________________________________________________________ Kleenexs Analysis Im sorry, am I reading that right? Stardew Valley got enough nominations for a 5 seed? Thats wild, but also awesome because Stardew Valley is fuckin awesome. Destiny belongs in the match from yesterday. People may like Destiny 2 nowadays (by all accounts the current state of the game is quite good), but that original game was a mess. It sort of got pulled together by the end of the third year, but that thing was rough. I dont think many people look back particularly fondly on that original game and itll probably show in this matchs result. Stardew is another indie darling, and one that I think has garnered more interest since its original release. It can probably only win one match, sadly, but well see what happens. Kleenexs Prediction: Stardew Valley with 63.50% ____________________________________________________________________________ Guests Analysis Nintendogs Stardew Valley is a well-liked game in GameFAQs. Destiny is not. While both games have sold very well, Stardew Valley benefits from being a return to form for those who like the old Harvest Moon games from the 1990's, the decade that GameFAQs never left. Destiny on the other hand, is a modern AAA, online multiplayer-oriented, loot FPS game that failed to live up to big expections and was not without controversy in the state the game was launched, and those are no-nos for NostalgiaFAQs. The website's rejection of such a game was made manifest when Starcraft demolished Destiny about 75-25 in the previous games contest. I'm expecting another pounding on the game, this time by a social farming sim that's considered one of the stronger indies in the bracket (and one I find to be very, very boring; sorry fans).
