Master Moltar 04/06/20 11:14:06 AM #276:	Round 1 Kingdom Hearts III vs. Disco Elysium Moltars Analysis oh boy kh3 This game was supposed to be big. GameFAQs was supposed to love this game. Sora was supposed to be a beast because of it. Expectations vs. Reality It came, it disappointed a lot of people, and it went. Its name alone should carry it in this match, but I dont think itll do huge numbers here even though its facing an indie game. Remember, any expectation that you have for KH these days, lower it. Moltars Bracket: Kingdom Hearts III Moltars Prediction: Kingdom Hearts III 69% ____________________________________________________________________________ transiences Analysis I would pick anything with a pulse to beat Kingdom Hearts 3. That game is pure poison. KH1 and 2 were truly loved games but 3 was the culmination of a decade of awful management of the series. PSP games, mobile games, DS games, 3DS games, enhanced ports -- everything but 3. And then 3 came out and it was so mediocre that it didn't even make the GOTY poll for 2019. Yeesh. Fortunately for KH3, Disco Elysium, as beloved as it is with its niche audience, doesn't have a pulse. Disco is a sort of spiritual successor to Planescape but without the wide playership and acclaim that Planescape enjoyed. It's better than Baba is You and Slay the Spire, at least according to its GOTY poll, but it's not nearly good enough to hang with a name brand like Kingdom Hearts. Hopefully Disco can embarrass KH3 a little bit here, but it'll be hard to expect much more than that. transience's prediction: Kingdom Hearts III with 64.75% ____________________________________________________________________________ Leonharts Analysis I gotta admit, Dragon Ages recent flop has made me kinda nervous about this one! I feel like there are a lot of people chomping at the bit to anti-vote Kingdom Hearts III here. I had hoped the recent DLC would help bolster it a bit, but I think that may have made things worse considering how much Square charged for a retread of the ending and some boss fights! I enjoyed KH3, but I am fully aware that a lot of people were disappointed with it. Now I really wish it had been included in 2019 GOTY here so I can see how it would have done! I think KH3s saving grace is that Disco Elysium may be a bit too recent to really have found a foothold yet. That, and its still PC-exclusive. If the console versions had already dropped, it might make me a bit more nervous. Im going relatively low here, but I think KH3 still advances. Leonharts Vote: Kingdom Hearts III Leonharts Prediction: Kingdom Hearts III with 55.55% ____________________________________________________________________________ Kleenexs Analysis I wouldnt be surprised if Disco ends up being one of the weakest games in the bracket once everything shakes out. It got a lot of critical acclaim last year from the people who did play it, but Im not sure how many people that actually is. At the very least, it did beat out Baba is You and Slay the Spire in the game of the year poll last year. Kingdom Hearts III...boy that game was a mess. But its still a GameFAQs-ass GameFAQs game that...wasnt in any of last years Game of the Year polls? Thats weird. Anyway, KH2 still put up pretty good numbers against rotten scum of the earth Melee in 2015, and even though KH3 was of questionable quality at best, itll come through against Disco, but its certainly possible it could get embarrassed in the process. Kleenexs Prediction: Kingdom Hearts III with 70.25% ____________________________________________________________________________ Guests Analysis pjbasis KH3 might have been a divisive game, but I think the vocal hatred is outnumbered by the people who weren't expecting anything different and don't really care. It's going to be weak, but not losing to indie tier weak. This is bizarrely still a franchise people are hanging onto, and the playrate on gamefaqs should be one of the highest in the bracket. Let's see what wikipedia has to say about it's opponent. An RPG eh? The gameplay features no combat in the traditional sense Oh that doesn't count. Not against an actual RPG like KH3! KHIII - 71% ____________________________________________________________________________ Crew Consensus: KH3 leaks into Round 2 --- Moltar Status: hype Contest Analysis Crew Archives: http://thecrew.speedrunwiki.com/ <cite>Master Moltar posted [p:936881678] in Game of th...
