Does it make a difference in The Last of Us vs. Dark Souls? If so, in what way?

I expect it to have zero effect since they're completely unrelated

Major boost. With the end of our world coming, it will greatly mimic the story (and atmosphere) of TLoU. Expect it to win.

The concept of a real life pandemic boosting games that feature a plague integral to their plot is so absurd, yet not completely implausible.

as someone who recently replayed the last of us, I don't expect it to win more than 1 match

it (and all the uncharted's bascially) has not aged well

all it really has going for it is the ending

Not gonna lie I started replaying it after people started making Corona-related memes about it.

The match we should be worried about is Resident Evil 2 vs. Danganronpa 2. One is a game where a virus infects a city to disastrous results, and that might hit a bit close to home. Meanwhile, Danganronpa 2 is essentially a class of students quarantining, which is the most natural counter to the coronavirus one can think of. It's a classic upset in the making, and you heard it here first.

And this is the problem with picking games' paths based entirely on your own opinions about them. The Last of Us is a stone-cold lock to win two matches in this bracket, and will likely pick up a third regardless of you personally thinking it hasn't aged well.

If OP wants a serious response, I say the same thing as SHINE.

you're right, I expect it to beat Diablo 3.

I don't appreciate your tone though

I mean he's not wrong

you're seeing that through your own lens if you think people have stopped caring about TLOU and Uncharted

I think the sequel coming this year helps it (a little)

My initial post was just an opinion, not strict contest analysis. I probably worded it poorly.
