I don't actually think Pokemon looks especially good here if you're using "I wanna beat Skyrim" as a goal, but it doesn't look like it's dropping next round.What a strange take, everything we have seen from Nier shows that it will have zero problem with Pokemon next round, especially since the shitty remake of a game that came out in 2000 will finally go up against something with strength, and won't get all the "eh, I guess I'll vote for it since I recognize the name" votes anymore. --- "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and hellboy" - trancer1 lol xstats |

Assuming Ultimate didn't hurt Melee's strength lol.Well thats the problem with using 5 year old stats, a lot of the games at the top of the 2015 list have likely dropped quite a bit for one reason or another. In GSC's case, this generation of Pokemon seems to have soured a lot of the core group of fanboys, and I don't think the wider appeal for people that visit GameFAQs has increased. I also think Melee is significantly weaker than past contests too, but thats a topic for another day. --- "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and hellboy" - trancer1 lol xstats |

Interspersed 2015 values with updated values based on their projections versus 2015 entrants (for example, Persona 5 was calculated through 2015 Civilization V). Couldn't get many updated values due to so many new games in this bracket, but hey.Not sure where all of these values came from but there's a lot here that makes no goddamn sense. I'm guessing Witcher 3 is purely its 2015 value based on how low it is, and I'm not sure on what planet Persona 5 is that high up. What did you do to get GSC on there also?

I think it's possible Celeste may have been pegged by some of the casuals as a more "Undertale-like" game. It's a game that has a female protagonist and its plot is heavily related to depression and feelings.This is some Anita Sarkessian levels of bullshit and stupidity. Celeste had some emo bullshit behind it, but at it's core it had some solid gameplay, so I'll give it a pass.

If you don't have tough mods, then they inevitably turn to memes and low-effort content as they get bigger.That's the beauty of the system though. If there is actually demand for specific content that is overshadowed in a larger community, someone will create a new sub for it. If noone joins the sub, then there wasn't much demand for it in the first place. Overmoderation may serve the small "elite" portions of the community, but for the vast vast vast majority of people using it, the site's very design will bubble up the correct content on the merit of the upvotes/downvotes they get. --- "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and hellboy" - trancer1 lol xstats |
