It's pretty much the same iirc, except Nioh has stances which spices up the combat a bit and is pretty linear.

And from what I remember, a later patch added pausing in Nioh.

Starcraft 2 lost to Mass Effect 3? I could have sworn people hated ME3. I guess it must be one of those Skyward Sword scenarios where the internet echo chamber hates it but most people actually like it.

Or apparently the reverse Fallout New Vegas scenario where the Fallout community makes it seem like the second coming of Jesus Christ, but the general public is less enthusiastic about it

This result is kind of wild. Nioh has looked awful in every poll it's ever been in.

2017 is a super stacked year + there's ton of LFF in this poll, so it's hard to get an accurate read on the strength of Nioh. Not to mention Nioh 2 just came out.

I have a question about Fallout: New Vegas.

When that game came out, people lost their minds over how freaking glitchy it was (some of them were game-breaking, like sudden crashes), but apparently it's still supposed to be stronger than Fallout 4 despite the latter being the one who was pretty much as acclaimed and popular as Fallout 3 was? What's up with that?

If you want to see how the Fallout community see its games:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Fallout/comments/6xejoc/best_fallout_game_poll/

Among serious Fallout fans, NV pretty much is near universally considered the best one. Of course, it's a different question how GameFAQs users see the Fallout games.

As for why NV's reputation has changed so much, most of the early complaints had to do with being glitchy (which was solved by later patches and mods). And after Fallout 4 was released, 4 streamlined a lot of the RPG elements, which was fine for casual gamers, but pissed off a lot of hardcore RPG fans who didn't like the direction Bethesda was going and they started championing NV as what Fallout should be like.

Also i'm surprised that Hollow Knight's reddit is actually bigger than Undertale.
Not in subscriber count (but that rarely go down even when people stop following a subreddit) but in general activity or average connection

Eh, It's not really that surprising to me.

I can't pretend I'm an expert on fandom, but my impression is that Undertale is one of those "fad" games along with stuff like FNAF, Doki Doki, etc where it gets super popular quickly and attracts a lot of people that are more into it for the community/fanart/memes/etc but then it burns out quickly as well when people get bored and move onto something else.

Whereas Hollow Knight is more of a traditional game, where it has a lower peak and you don't see its fan art and cosplay spammed everywhere, but its popularity holds up better long term.

Friendly reminder that LttP and MM went 50/50 in 2015, so if you think BotW can beat MM, it can beat LttP!

I also think LttP has been secretly overrated for a while. It didn't look as good in 2009 or 2015 as it did in 2004

MM benefited early on in the match against ALttP from the rally spillover, so I think MM overperformed. I'd expect ALttP to get 54-55 in a rematch today. Outside of that, it looked fine in 2015? ALttP just never has any "wow" matches since it always feeds on fodder before running the Zelda gauntlet and losing to OoT. 2009 also had the 4-way LFF, although ALttP did get to the finals and it handily beat FFVI even with LA in the match.

Also:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/7610-whats-your-all-time-favorite-legend-of-zelda-console-game

Still holding up pretty well. Really, with SNES games running amok in 2015, there's little suggesting to me that ALttP lost a step.

I would honestly be shocked if BotW can beat ALttP. People forget how much of a monster ALttP is because it always gets fed to OoT.

Damn, ~87% on INSIDE is a mind blowing performance by DOOM no matter how you justify it. Heck, ALttP managed 88% on Cave Story on 2015 and I don't think INSIDE is that much weaker than Cave Story.

2008's wonky because of Snake.

Most people thought Link > Cloud > Snake but because of 4-way shenanigans, Snake beat Cloud twice and thus elevated a small group of people who made this correct call to the top. Some of them took a bunch of risks in the beginning that were possibly wrong but those early risks were worth much fewer points.

The thing to keep in mind is that not all risks are the same. Taking a round 1 upset is different than a semifinal/final upset.
