I can conceive of the other three titles winning here, but God of War beating any of the others would be shocking.

Did you just miss 2018's GotY polls or something? On paper, God of War's probably the strongest game here, but I'm not convinced it's held up well enough to beat hugely respected decade titans Dark Souls and Witcher 3.

Dark Souls > Witcher

Can also go Witcher > DS but am confident on those two above the others.

My gut says Dark Souls > Witcher but I do fear the Netflix boost

DPOblivion was far more determined than me.

Witcher is riding HIGH on that Netflix hype, don't expect it to lose anything close.

Great fourpack, thanks Leon.

Right off the bat I would say Persona 5 is the weakest by a reasonable distance. Dark Souls and The Witcher 3 both looked great in 2015, and can expect to have only gotten stronger, especially The Witcher. God of War looked incredible in the 2018 polls and that series has always been strong on here - I think people forget how strong it has been. The original was probably a top ten game in the last GotD.

i went The Witcher 3>Dark Souls, I expect it to beat God of War largely because I think it is definitely a top 5 game of the last decade.

on pure contest strength I'd say:

w3 > souls > persona 5 > god of war

Persona 5 and the Witcher III win easily because of Smash and the Netflix series boosting them. After that, it's hard to say but I went with P5 > Witcher 3 but I feel it go the other way very easily.

Maybe I should have reversed the matchups and had P5 vs. GoW.

I think people have way too much faith in Dark Souls. The series isn't particularly strong on GameFAQs.

It did pretty well in 2015 and I think it would be stronger now.

I don't think 29% on LTTP is very good. It's not bad but I'm pretty sure Persona 5 clears that easily.

Yeah, most other sites Dark Souls takes out P5 but here I think P5 can edge its way past there. I think Witcher 3 wins its match and it helps it has the Netflix boost in its back pocket if my read is a bit off. Taking Witcher 3 to win the pack from there as well.

P4 didn't do that much better against TP, did it? Granted, P5 is probably stronger, but yeah.

And the bar for "good" in this contest will be pretty low.

Went Witcher 3 > P5

Persona has always been worth significantly more than its characters (by which I mean "fodder line" versus "garbage" ) and the simple fact of "exists in Smash" boosting losers like K Rool into semi-relevance paired with the fact that I don't see the Persona fanbase losing anything close... and Witcher 3 is just that but with some actual punch behind it. Dark Souls I just don't see rallying in the same way, even if its base strength is almost definitely higher.

It's one of those "risks I'd feel bad for not taking" kinda upsets.

I would expect P5 to be a step above P4. It just got a lot more press in general.

I don't think Dark Souls has really grown in strength either. The series hasn't done much to convert nonbelievers - it's just put out sequels, ports, and spinoffs. Which helps a bit, but if you want to look at a game that's actually hot right now, Witcher 3 has consistently sold a TON since release and just got a Netflix show to introduce it to a new audience.

I honestly forgot about the Netflix show when I made this topic. Yeah, that might put it over the top.

I know nothing about anything anymore. Witcher 3 > Persona 5?

Didn't Link to the Past get like 68% on Dark Souls? DS doesn't seem like a very strong game. Granted, the weaker Twilight Princess managed got 65% on Persona 4. But I'm thinking Persona as a franchise has strengthened because of Joker's presence in Smash, yet I could easily be wrong.
