Round 2 Division 2 Day 18
Borderlands 2 44.92%
Horizon Zero Dawn 55.08%

Prediction Percentage 28.65%

Borderlands 2 becomes the first of the Game of the Year winners in the contest to lose, although another one of them would fall tomorrow due to severe bad bracket placement. Final Fantasy XV almost did yesterday but managed to hang on. Borderlands 2 was the most popular choice for the weakest of the winners as it had an easy year to get title. The second place from 2012 would redeem that year as much as it could, however. Borderlands 2 was not expected to be as good as it was in 2015 and it lost to Earthbound easily back then. It hasnt aged all too well, the humor isnt as appreciated anymore, and the franchise didnt really keep the level up.

Despite all of that, Borderlands 2 was the favorite today. Lots of people took Horizon Zero Dawn in the upset, but we generally underestimated that game by a bit. It was completely overshadowed by being released right before Breath of the Wild and while it was still critically acclaimed, it seemed most people forgot about it quickly again. Well, at least you dont forget it when its right there in the voting form. Horizon won this match easily. It won the early board vote big time, then Borderlands 2 looked to take the match when the freeze happened, but Horizon went up big time next update and never looked back. Then the Bloodborne rally happened and boosted Horizon a little bit more than already.

Its weird that Horizon wasnt favored here to me. Look at the Game of the Year polls. Horizon isnt too far behind Persona 5 and beats NieR: Automata, which we had great expectations for. I suppose people just thought people stopped caring very quickly. Or perhaps Aloy being trash in the previous character battle was what did it. The most cookie guru bracket this year was Master Moltar, who made just a single upset. This was the one, so he eliminated the guru cookie today on the first day of eliminations. Considering the Board8BOP user was on the leaderboard until the second semi-final and finished seventh on the second chance leaderboard, its pretty cool that the cookie died this fast, even if it really takes nothing to do it.
