Contest Quarterfinal: (1)The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild vs (1)Mass Effect 2

(1)Breath of the Wild - 17691 [68.33%]
(1)Mass Effect 2 - 8199 [31.67%]
Total Votes - 25890
Prediction Percentage - 64.65%

I know the 2015 stats are totally all kinds of nutty, but, um...

Ocarina of Time (2015g) VS Mass Effect 2 (2015g)

Ocarina of Time has a strength of 47.95.
Mass Effect 2 has a strength of 25.58.

Ocarina of Time wins with 73.33% of the vote!
A win of 28,400 with 60,875 total votes cast.

Getting nearly 70% in round ''five'' is completely insane, and it helps prove the theory (though I doubt it's a "theory" at this point) that Breath of the Wild is a 90s strength video game plopped into a bracket that in no way had a prayer of matching up. Breath of the Wild might one day be challenged in a normal contest against games like Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 7, Ocarina of Time, Pokemon RBY, and the rest of the 90s heavy hitters, but for this contest we were living in the Breath of the Wild Invitational. It sucked to see Mass Effect 2 go out like this, but like I've said many times, only one game gets to end its run with a win.

I would like to give a bit of love to Mass Effect 2 on the way out the door, because getting into the final eight shouldn't have a thoroughly unceremonious end. All the way back in 2011, I played 1 and 2 back to back. I loved 1, but I ''loved'' 2. 2 takes everything 1 does, flips it around, turns it all up to 11, and is one of the few games ever made that can be classified as "perfect". The entire reason butthurt idiots were so mad about 3's ending is because 2 was so good. It had the best characters, the best voice acting, the best gameplay, the Collectors were a truly terrifying villain even if they were a literal Aliens ripoff, and probably the best overall story. And yes, contradiction guy, I know it's just a glorified rail shooter. Fuck off.

Very, very, very few games can match Mass Effect 2's brilliance. If for some insane reason you haven't played it or its series yet, you need to. Don't let it scoring 32% in some poll fool you. Mass Effect 2 is universally loved.
