| PostContestUlti 05/21/20 3:22:28 AM #50: | Division 5 Quarterfinal: (10)Nioh vs (2)God of War (10)Nioh - 7151 [25.54%] (2)God of War - 20845 [74.46%] Total Votes - 27996 Prediction Percentage - 79.71% Nioh pulled off a cute little one point upset in round 1 against The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, but we call them "one point upsets" for a reason. That reason is when the winner gets to the next round, they typically get annihilated. God of War scored a total beatdown in this one, which set it up quite nicely for its match with New Vegas. There was a small chance New Vegas could pull the upset there, so ol' Kratos had to make sure he looked good and ready in his warmup fight. Shout out to Nioh though, no shame in losing badly here. I love that game even with its flaws, and I'm very excited to play Nioh 2 and see what direction the series takes moving forward. I also love God of War 2018 to death, so this match was a win-win for me. Killer match picture, too: https://www.vgr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/The-Roots-of-Jormungandr-in-Norse-Mythology-600x300.jpg The case can be made for that image being the best and most iconic image in the history of video games. It's that good and that important. I don't know if it would be #1 on such a list of hypotheticals, but it's in the conversation. It has to be. Remember, Kratos had beaten the entire Pantheon, plus a lot of esoteric Greek stuff of myth, and those games were just done by this point. Amazing games, but a reboot was needed and it had to be ''bigger''. Going from Greek to Norse is such a crazy undertaking, and for it to work, the scale had to be insane. Then Jormungandr pops up and it's like.... oh. Yeah shit just got real, boys. This game is not messing around with you. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
