PostContestUlti 05/23/20 1:43:08 AM #137:	redrocket posted... Street Fighter II LOST?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!? Street Fighter won a match in the series contest. Division 2 Semifinal: (1)Mass Effect 2 vs (4)Horizon Zero Dawn (1)Mass Effect 2 - 14749 [55.12%] (4)Horizon Zero Dawn - 12010 [44.88%] Total Votes - 26759 Prediction Percentage - 37.49% Was Mass Effect 2 weaker than expected, or was Horizon Zero Dawn far more legit than expected? Yes. Both things are true. I have no doubts whatsoever that an entire series gets punished, even if only a little bit, when the parent company goes south. Mass Effect 2 probably did suffer a percentage loss across the board thanks to people not liking Mass Effect 3's ending or Andromeda. I think this had more to do with Horizon being legit though. Most people thought Borderlands 2 would be the second game in this match, but Horizon Zero Dawn gave us a good bit of justice instead. The sequel to that performance was this match, where even in losing Horizon looked incredible. Mass Effect 2 is a wonderful game and Board 8 loves it and no one denies this. No arguments here. But if you haven't played Horizon yet, I hope this contest clued you in to give it a shot. It's an open world action RPG where you run around shooting robot dinosaurs. You can't get much cooler than that, my friends. I dare say if you liked Mass Effect 2, Horizon is right up your alley. Us fans don't always hype this game up for no reason. It's really good, please play it! https://www.ps4home.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Horizon-Zero-Dawn-Wallpapers-5.jpg Unfortunately, 127 of the 128 games in this contest went out on a loss, so everyone had to bow out eventually. Horizon getting 45% on Mass Effect 2, the prohibitive division favorite and a game truly deserving of the title of "Game of the Decade", on its way out was another proud papa moment. It was another data point for those who believed Mass Effect 2 was primed to be upset in this contest, too. It was also more proof of how ''stacked'' 2017 was. Presented without comment so as not to step on the toes of Wall's project: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_in_video_games His writeup on that year will be far, far better than anything I could ever come up with. And 2017 deserved every single little bit of the love Board 8 gave it during this contest. I don't quite think we understood how stacked that year was pre-contest, but man did we learn it as things played out. --- https://board8.fandom.com/wiki/Main_Page <cite>PostContestUlti posted [p:939579829] in ~*Ultimate...
