Topic	An analysis of how each year performed in Game of the Decade 2
MechanicalWall 05/20/20 10:02:37 AM #142:	Other Thoughts: If that all just read like the weakest, least convincing Headliner write-up Ive done, its because it damn well is. NONE of those games would have even sniffed Headliner status in ANY other year, and FFXV is prime bust material. But what else is there? I guess Stardew Valley deserves props for ending up as the second strongest indie game in bracket, but thats damning with faint praise. INSIDE was on the receiving end of the second biggest blowout of the contest, and the Witness merely acted as proof that Yakuza was pretty legit. Heres the real question: is this year better or worse than 2014? On the one hand, half this field made it past Round 1, which proportionally speaking is pretty good. On the other hand, only ONE game made it to Round 3, and you can damn well bet it wouldnt have in any other fourpack. There was nothing here as pleasantly surprising as MK8s performance, and this is by far the worst line-up of Headliners in the decade. Ahh Ill save this for the final rankings. For now, let there be no doubt that Im only handing out two failing grades, and this year is DEFINITELY getting a big fat F stamped on its forehead. As I said, this was very much an interim year, the calm before the storm Final Grade F - FFXV is a headliner this year. Nuff said. --- If you're only on this board to whine about "SJWs", please redirect whatever you type on to the nearest trash can. And hop in after it. <cite>MechanicalWall posted [p:939438712] in An analysi...
