I'm going with Bloodborne but either one would not surprise me. Part of me gets the feeling Awakening might have dropped since 2015 while Bloodborne has gained, but I couldn't tell you exactly why.

It absolutely has a chance! The Nintendo name doesn't guarantee victories every time. BotW will be burning everything down, so Nintendo fans won't feel compelled to rally behind Fire Emblem of all things.

I don't even know what Bloodborne is so taking it over Fire Emblem feels weird.

I think in a normal and neutral situation Bloodborne should easily win this.

But here..who knows if some Nintendo bias happens (which means Nintendo fans who never played either of those 2 games) will vote for the one made by Nintendo then yea, no chance, but this actually make the contest credibility go down.

Does Fire Emblem need a rally to beat Bloodborne?

2015 stats says it wins by 53%.

Bloodborne's probably stronger than it was in it's first outing, and it's probably got more staying power than most of the bracket, but the double votes probably keep it from winning.

I was looking at the results of 2015 best game ever contest, DISGUSTING results, laughable taste. I dont want to say bad words but im not happy with the results at all.

Be careful on relying on this thinking. We know from last contest that doubling voting power of registered users has little impact on the final result.

Any idea how many voters from GameFaqs compared to anonymous voters? like a ratio or something?

Well here's the votes for the last Character Battle.

I don't think the last games contest had double points as a thing.

That was the same year Bloodborne come out.

It's probably significantly more played now.

Those Soulsbornekiro games are simply not as popular as fans want them to be.


This brings up a good point. I've seen the 'Well BOTW will dominate everything so most people won't wanna rally around other Nintendo stuff' argument. Well why can't that same rule appy to all these Dark Souls clones in the bracket?

BB is definitely much stronger now. it is one of those games that garnered a ton of acclaim as time went by. back in 2015 it was just seen as a good souls game. nowadays it has a reputation as one of the best games ever (i believe it placed in the top 10 in metacritic's recent averaging of all "best of decade" lists across gaming media)

i dont know if it'll be enough to beat fire emblem, but it should at least be close.

Fire Emblem Awakening has a lower seed this contest than it did in the all-inclusive field of 2015. Wouldn't be surprised if it lost popularity since.

interesting, as we can see here the double voting didnt help a lot because most of the time anonymous voters and regular voters agreed with each other.
Do you know if it was possible you vote anonymous then log in and vote with your account, the same way can be done with normal board polls. Which means each person can actually cast 3 votes, not counting the alts as well.

Okay I thought of a good rationale for picking against Fire Emblem: I picked it to beat DKC2 last contest and it didn't.

IIRC Bloodborne was already highly regarded in 2015 as the first exclusive PS4 game that wasn't a disappointment. I believe there were like 2 or 3 games that were supposed to take that title but flopped before Bloodborne broke the chain.
