Master Moltar 03/28/20 1:42:20 AM #121:	Round 1 Mass Effect 2 vs. Resident Evil 7: biohazard Moltars Analysis Went back to look at RE7s GotY polls and yikes I dont remember it doing as badly as it actually did. It was a distant 4th in the PS4 poll to Persona 5, Horizon, and Nier. ME2 didnt have a great showing in 2015, and people are doubting it even making it out of its own division. A strong showing here would help quell those fears, and RE7 seems like a game that it could go big against since its the old school RE games that are seeing a resurgence in the public eye, not this one. Moltars Bracket: Mass Effect 2 Moltars Prediction: Mass Effect 2 70% ____________________________________________________________________________ transiences Analysis This is the only match that I feel sure about today. Mass Effect 2 really underwhelmed in the last game contest and the series has died an ugly death, but the competition in 2015 was on a whole other level from this one. ME2 got a really fortunate draw too which means that it could easily go to the quarterfinals without too much trouble. RE7... you know, it's really hard to gauge RE7. RE7 played best as a VR game which I bet has an audience of like 2% here on GameFAQs. Its GOTY polls are bad. And yet, it's Resident Evil.. and RE has become hot with all of the high quality remakes they've been putting out. But those games are great because old RE is great, and new RE, while a really nice return to form, just didn't get the playrate that it needed to do well. ME2 should roll here. transience's prediction: Mass Effect 2 with 69.55% ____________________________________________________________________________ Leonharts Analysis Theres a lot of talk about how Mass Effect 2 will do here based on how it did in 2015 and how Andromeda has basically killed the series in the interim. I do wish it had gotten a more difficult division because I think its probably a solid favorite against everything else here. It certainly wont have any trouble here, but I wonder what a reasonable expectation is for it against Resident Evil 7. RE6 was widely panned, but from what I heard, people actually liked RE7, although who knows how many people they even got back after RE6. I think the Resident Evil name should probably keep it from getting killed too badly, but who knows! Leonharts Vote: Mass Effect 2 Leonharts Prediction: Mass Effect 2 with 65.65% ____________________________________________________________________________ Kleenexs Analysis Mass Effect 2 is the first game in the bracket that I think we have a real read on. Its had a few contest matches already against a few other known quantities, and looking back on those results, its...actually not as strong as I thought. Not that it should really be in any danger of losing here, mind you, but the opponent isnt exactly a no-name game. Im not sure if the Mass Effect name has been sullied enough after Andromeda to totally tank it or anything, but Im actually expecting something of a lukewarm performance. Depending on how things look today, I think Mass Effect 2 could have a pretty rough road ahead of itself trying to get out of this division. Kleenexs Prediction: Mass Effect 2 with 62.25% ____________________________________________________________________________ Guests Analysis - paulg I don't think Mass Effect is actually going to have too bad of a showing this contest despite the series being a potential target for anti-voting due to Andromeda. ME3 should easily win its match against StarCraft 2 before losing to Witcher 3, and ME2 should easily reach the division finals. Not certain about them winning their division, since I think RE2, Bloodborne and Fire Emblem Awakening could beat it, but we'll see how all four fair in their first matches. Obviously, if they lose to Fallout 4 next round, I'd call them a disappointment. As for this match, ME2 wins but I suspect RE7 has enough strength to not get doubled. However, ME2's performance here should tell us how well it'll do in future rounds. If ME2 destroys RE7, it's the division favourite. If it does notably worse than my prediction, then it might be in trouble against Fallout 4. Prediction: Mass Effect 2 - 60.78% ____________________________________________________________________________ Crew Consensus: Massive victory for Mass Effect. --- Moltar Status: hype Contest Analysis Crew Archives: http://thecrew.speedrunwiki.com/ <cite>Master Moltar posted [p:936358317] in Game of th...
