Ngamer64 03/31/20 3:14:34 AM #422:	I hate it when people only come out of the woodwork to brag once their Upset Special comes true, so I wanted to say in advance why I ended up changing my mind since our recording and picking against Undertale tomorrow. Everyone says it's got a higher base strength on this site than Draven/League, and that it didn't rub us the wrong way as much as the other rally did, and I do agree. However... * I think Octopath is slightly more than "Not UT"- being on the Switch has been a big indicator of success this year, and it came out during that sweet spot when everyone had their new console, had finished the Must Haves, and was looking to pick up something new. I personally have three non-GameFAQs friends who bought the game and were very excited about it for the first week. (now granted, only one of them ended up finishing the game, but still! at least it's got some Awareness Factor) * I finished Undertale last month, and I'm now in the middle of a second playthrough where I'm going for the best ending. (I wanted to bring this up on the last episode but we'd already gone way way too long by that point!) it's actually a better game than I expected, with a better story than I thought it would have. and Sans is a lovable goof who steals some of the biggest scenes; it's easy to see why he became the breakout star. and that's the problem- there's no way thousands of GameFAQs regulars gave the game a try, were won over by it, then unanimously decided "you know what, Sans was great and all, but I gotta have me some PAC-MAN!" * normally I put zero stock in games versus characters results, but that one just reeked of anti-voting to me. and if I'm right, the math is starting to look bleak for Undertale. as Luster explained, casual voters have been turned off by the fourway forced voting, resulting in veteran GameFAQs users casting 5% more of the votes than in 2018. and remember, each of those votes counts double, so actually they have 10% more impact. what if for every one GameFAQs vet who decided to give UT a try and enjoyed it, there are two or three who are still bitter about the Chrono Trigger or Ocarina or Melee results and sitewide takeover- as the Pac-Man result seems to indicate? the Fortnite kids who saw the result yesterday called us Bitter Boomers, and maybe tomorrow is going to prove them right! --- Advo bested even The Show hosts in 2018, yowza! board8.wikia.com \| thengamer.com/xstats <cite>Ngamer64 posted [p:936522094] in The Show E...
