Topic	An analysis of how each year performed in Game of the Decade 2
MetalmindStats 05/15/20 1:36:00 AM #55:	MechanicalWall posted... Busts: uhhhh, Terraria? Aaaaand Minecraft? Minecraft and Terraria are both fine choices even if neither is to GameFAQs' taste. However, I'd also like to mention 2011 as a whole, for being the only year without a full top 10 represented, and having a ridiculous gulf between its haves and have-nots (even if both classes mostly exceeded expectations). MechanicalWall posted... If B&W is a bad pick Im sure people will let me know. I'm not going to say B/W wouldn't have had strength, but I kind of get what Allen was going for there. All the relevant Pokmon games except GO (more on that in a moment) are seriously samey, and there would have been little intrigue to including most of them in a bracket when HG/SS already represents them just fine. The exceptions are the aforementioned GO and Sw/Sh, both of which had tons of variance potential, and while the latter wasn't fundamentally different, just being the most recent mainline Pokmon game automatically renders it a snub for me. I agree that MvC3 was one of the biggest snubs of 2011, perhaps even of the whole bracket, but there's another 2011 fighting game that belongs right alongside it: MK9. Like, I get how MK11 made it instead despite being hated - presumably most of the (small) MK fanbase just robotically penciled in the newest installment, while practically no one outside the fanbase considered any MK one of the best games of the decade. Still, though, there's leagues of difference in terms of their all-audience reception and impact, much like MvC3 versus SFV among Capcom fighters. Also, for what it's worth, MK7 was merely the functional 3DS Mario Kart, and much like SSB4, everyone stopped caring the second it was no longer the newest Mario Kart game. Obviously, I wouldn't dare claim SSB4 doesn't belong on any snubs list, but Mario Kart is that much less popular and significant a series. Everyone's already basically addressed what I would have said about 2010, though I'm not sure HGSS belongs among its headliners, and Mega Man 10 was arguably a notable snub. Great start overall though, I'm certainly looking forward to the rest of your write-ups. --- "I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people who do." azuarc won the 2020 Guru Contest because he avoided picking rashly. <cite>MetalmindStats posted [p:939180784] in An analysi...
