plasmabeam 04/20/20 1:54:41 PM #109:	My dumbest picks: KH3 winning three matches. I actually had it winning the division for a while. I was banking on the idea that KH3 had hidden strength due to it being snubbed from the 2019 GotY polls. So much for its '05 Vincent potential. Undertale > SK. I wanted to pull the trigger on SK, but I kept telling myself, "A lot of people on this site genuinely love and appreciate Undertale." DKCTF > DMC5. The logical guy in me knew better. DKCTF is a 2D console platformer that costs $50 on Switch and never got much appreciation on Wii U. Berseria > HK. Pure fanboyism pick. Borderlands 2 > HZD. I knew B2 wouldn't be strong but I thought HZD would suffer because it only appeared on PS4 and isn't part of a series. Should've taken the 2017 GotY polls more seriously. At the moment, I don't yet regret TLOU > Dark Souls. I'm well aware DS has been more impressive, but both games are still relatively untested, and I wouldn't rule out an upset. When I made my bracket, I kept thinking, "Dark Souls couldn't crack 30% on LttP, but I think TLOU could." --- ~Jacksonville Jaguars~ <cite>plasmabeam posted [p:937756797] in Contest St...

LinkMarioSamus 04/20/20 3:57:34 PM #134:	I just kind of picked Dark Souls to make a run as a sort of upset special for my bracket, and because I felt like SOMETHING weird was going to happen later in the contest. Why I'm not exactly sure. My gut pick to meet Zelda in the finals was Skyrim. I think I remembered how much of GOTD1 didn't seem to mesh well with the 2009 contest and figured something silly was going to happen in the interim. Thus I figured "hey, there's a lot of backlash towards Bethesda now and Dark Souls has become this highly-respected and influential game. Maybe it can do it!" Probably helped that Dark Souls is the game in the bracket I haven't played that I'm most interested in, with Mass Effect 2 a somewhat close second, so maybe I'll take to it like I did SOTC. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil <cite>LinkMarioSamus posted [p:937763882] in Contest St...

ME3 will be annihilated by Nioh. I guess God of War is just too strong to be able to beat it. Oh and its exclusive, notice how most games that are rated so high or do well are exclusives? exclusives also have inflated ratings here. Witcher 3 is not exclusive and is not made by Japan, so its surely going to struggle against God of War or even Mario galaxy 2. this is Black Turtle level of analysis. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif <cite>Yuri_LowelI posted [p:937766254] in Contest St...

Advokaiser 04/20/20 5:39:32 PM #141:	LinkMarioSamus posted... I just kind of picked Dark Souls to make a run as a sort of upset special for my bracket, and because I felt like SOMETHING weird was going to happen later in the contest. Why I'm not exactly sure. My gut pick to meet Zelda in the finals was Skyrim. I think I remembered how much of GOTD1 didn't seem to mesh well with the 2009 contest and figured something silly was going to happen in the interim. Thus I figured "hey, there's a lot of backlash towards Bethesda now and Dark Souls has become this highly-respected and influential game. Maybe it can do it!" Probably helped that Dark Souls is the game in the bracket I haven't played that I'm most interested in, with Mass Effect 2 a somewhat close second, so maybe I'll take to it like I did SOTC. Wait How far did you take SotC to go in GotD1? --- It's an honor being part of Board 8's community. <cite>Advokaiser posted [p:937769621] in Contest St...

Heropon_Riki 04/20/20 5:47:11 PM #142:	davidponte posted... ShortReplies took God of War all the way and is now grasping at straws to convince himself that it's still the right pick. It's okay to join the rest of us in the, "I've made a horrible mistake" camp, we all have at least one! I had Fortnite winning two rounds and Nier Automata losing to Divinity. I think those were my two most braindead decisions. The logic was "pfft, it's Fortnite, it's crazy popular even if some people hate it!" which was a severe underestimation of just how many people hate it, as well as a complete write-off of Horizon Zero Dawn which I thought was mostly just a mediocre BotW for people who didn't have a Switch but turns out to have quite a following. Nier losing to Divinity is probably down to me currently playing Divinity and thinking it's extremely good, and assuming the rest of the gaming community thinks the same when my opinions are often very much at odds with gamefaqs at large. (I think Fates is the second best Fire Emblem and that Xenoblade X is the greatest game of all time, for starters) --- "Much like the pill bug, I too must continue to move forward." -Heropon Riki (paraphrased) <cite>Heropon_Riki posted [p:937770028] in Contest St...

ctesjbuvf 04/20/20 6:12:58 PM #143:	This contest continues tradition of every single contest to date having Legend of Zelda vs Final Fantasy. I decided to look at it all the matches ever between the two. Zelda won by far the most, but that's a given since Final Fantasy has a lot more mediocre characters in the field. Final Fantasy only had more victories in the 2005 Villains and 2013 Characters contests.
