Round 1 Dark Souls III vs. Dishonored

Moltars Analysis

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/6565-best-of-2016-playstation-4 boy if this match is another 85-15 beatdown

The original Dishonored is more popular on GameFAQs than the sequel, but it still cant compare in strength to Dark Souls III. It wont be as strong as the original, but name power alone can carry Dark Souls here, as Dishonored is just forgotten on this site.

Blech. Dark Souls 3 didn't resonate anything like the original did, but it's more than good enough to beat a western game like Dishonored, one that really only got played by people that are predisposed to play those kinds of games. Dishonored is well liked, but I don't feel like it found a big enough fanbase to really stick, certainly not on this website.

Dark Souls 3 is a little more interesting than that, if only because it comes from a franchise we sorta care about here. People that don't really care about either will probably side with the franchise that people can't shut up about. I can't tell if Dark Souls wins a comfortable 60/40 match or goes crazy here because Dishonored just sucks a la some of these bottom tier indie games. I'll probably go somewhere in the middle.

Leonharts Analysis

I dont think too much of Dark Souls IIIs contest strength. I think itll be a far cry from the original. It got stomped in 2016 Game of the Year by Final Fantasy XV, Overwatch, and Uncharted 4, which should tell you all you need to know. That being said, I think even less of Dishonored! The game has done poorly in every poll its been in, and the main character got crushed by Red in 2013. Dark Souls III probably wins easily, but I dont think it really means anything for its future prospects.

Kleenexs Analysis

I cant imagine any world where Dishonored is more than fodder in this contest. Bloodborne and Sekiro both looked good in their first round matches, and while Im still a little skeptical of Souls games that arent the original, Dark Souls III shouldnt have any issue putting away its competition today. DS3 at least managed to hang with some good competition in its game of the year polls. Dishonored lost to a shitty Assassins Creed game, and the sequel might as well not exist.

Guests Analysis spooky96

Okay, okay please forgive me for my idiotic Mincecraft/Dota 2 match, I don't know what the hell I was thinking, I even had Minecraft in my bracket, and totally forgot that we don't give a shit about MOBAs either. Anyway, both of these games are pretty damn weak. I know GotY results aren't particularly reliable, but DS3 finished 3rd, right after FF15 and Uncharted 4 (while not a great result) is a lot more impressive than Dishonored's result back in 2012, finishing next to Assassin Creed III. And today's result is probably more attributable to AC's weakness than Witcher 3's strength.

There isn't really much else to say, I didn't even know Dishonored's existence before this bracket, and while Dark Souls III has received a good amount of criticism from its fans, Dishonored isn't the kind of game that's taking advantage of that.
