Round 2 Division 7 Day 23
Yakuza 0 42.75%
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain 57.25%

Prediction Percentage 68.32%

Yakuza 0 being a game with actual strength was a surprise to many this contest, especially after the characters all looked horrible last contest. We thought The Witness was simply so terrible that anything could blow it out of the contest. True enough, The Witness would end up near the bottom, but this is the match that put it out of contention for the bottom spot, we thought it could have. We fully expected Metal Gear Solid V to be an embarrassment to the once extremely popular franchise after everything that happened with Kojima and Konami back then, and yet the oracle consensus still had it more than 5% above what it got. Yakuza 0 surprised most of us today. Perhaps the characters making it in should have been an indicator that the game is now cared about.

Yakuza 0 ends up looking good and like something we might want to bring back again, but I do think MGSV was a very good game for it look good against, so the x-stats probably overrate it. When the winning game is something so obviously anti-voted, the losing game will look better, its dead simple. MGSV is not anti-voted to extreme amounts or it wouldnt be in round 3, but it definitely is to some extent. Look at the board vote. Yakuza 0 won that, MGSV didnt start running away with the lead until the end of the freeze. It didnt look back, but it shows. MGSV was also eliminated in round 1 of board 8s Game of the Decade of the Year, ZaziGuados Game of the Decade board contest using the format of User of the Year. Board 8 hates the game and board 8 is among the biggest Metal Gear Solid fans youll find. It was because of board 8s love for the series that I originally played the series myself, though Snakes success in the contests helped. The point is that while MGSV is appreciated for its gameplay and name alone, the hardcore fans of the series might very well vote against it, and it might very well be enough to be what caused Yakuza 0 to break 40% today.
