Board 8 > Fourpack of Fun: Spider-Man/Uncharted 4, Dragon Quest XI/Nier Automata

(+) Yeah! (+)

Your friendly neighborhood everymen and some robots

---

also feel free to suggest future fourpacks

---

I don't understand

---

Nier Automata seems like the clear favorite to win this fourpack, and I don't even think it's going to be particularly strong.

---

I don't know why Automata would be heads and shoulders above the other three. They've all done well in GOTY polls.

---

Probably Automata > Uncharted 4, but fanboy voted for DQ XI because I dont think its outside the realm of possibility

---

Uncharted 4 was the clear 3rd in maybe the weakest GotY poll we've ever had, and Spider-Man was going even with DQ11 back when Spider-Man was recent and DQ11 didn't have its Switch version out yet. DQ11 might be able to beat Nier but I feel like at this point in time Nier is just a 'bigger deal' or whatever.

---

Automata got rocked by Persona 5 and lost pretty cleanly to Horizon. I feel like these are all in the same mid-tier range. I don't think Spider-Man did that bad overall considering GoW did pretty well against Smash Ultimate in the final GOTY poll.

---

Persona 5 is like two steps above everything in this pack. It would probably double Spider-Man, I don't think that game is relevant at all now that more than three months have passed since it released. Losing to Horizon isn't great but Nier's status has grown considerably since then (its sales, too - when that poll was held it had less than half the sales it does now) and I think it would win the rematch with a bit of room to spare.

---

I don't think Spider-Man has been forgotten that quickly. That game was a massive seller, way beyond Sony's wildest expectations for it.

---

What is a fourpack and how does this voting work?

---

you vote for who you think wins in a contest match

---

Wheres option for DQXI>Nier?

dqxi is being underestimated.

---

never mind. I get it now. This isnt 4 way polls.

---

Nier > Uncharted 4.

Feel good about Nier beating DQ11. Less good about everything else.

There are 2 options for every game. Say I think both Spider-Man > Dragon Quest XI and
Spider-Man > Nier Automata. What am I voting on?

You're voting on who you think wins the 4-pack.

What am I voting on?

Round 1:

Spider-Man v Uncharted 4
Nier Automata v DQ11

Round 2:

Winners of those matches against each other.

You are voting on the outcome of the Round 2 match which shows how you think the Round 1 matches go based on who you even have in that match.

Thank you. So ">" doesn't mean greater than or better than. I was so confused

Spider-Man > Nier:Automata

The above means you think Spider-Man would beat Uncharted 4, Nier to beat DQ11, and Spider-Man to beat Nier.

---

@SwiftyDC @xp1337 That makes so much more sense. Thank you

---

Definitely feel whatever wins in Nier/DQ wins the fourpack, and I think the "Game of the Decade" title will mean more toward those who have heard 'oh this Nier thing is pretty highly acclaimed'; that buzz has gone around pretty strongly in the same way that games like Bioshock performed really well in the 2000-2010 edition. Think that Nier will nab up those casual and prestige votes whilst DQ doesn't really have an easy base to rally from other than "Japan I guess".

Spider-Man over Uncharted 4 feels right, most of Uncharted's prestige has gone into Last of Us and it just kinda FEELS like old news now.

This, except I went for Spider-Man over Uncharted 4.

Fourpack suggestion: Fallout 4/Final Fantasy XV/Metal Gear Solid V/Skyward Sword. It might be lopsided because of ZeldaFEAR, but I think it's worth seeing anyways.

---

Yeah, I'd like to do something with Skyward Sword and/or MGSV at some point.

---

SS/MGSV/ME3/Other M

(Other Ms probably too weak to be interesting, but)

---

Yeah, Other M would be bad fodder here. I'm trying to think of another mainline series with a disappointing entrant that isn't Final Fantasy.

Actually, which Pokemon would be best there? B/W? S/M? Sw/Sh?

---

B/W would be the strongest and I dont think its generally thought of as disappointing. The other two qualify for pretty different reasons.

---

Would you take S/M clearly over the other three? Or would you take Sw/Sh to be dead last there? I feel like Sw/Sh is the weakest one.

---

S/M is probably the more interesting choice because it doesnt have dexit backlash

Uncharted is pretty weak except Uncharted 2.

I would take BW and SM pretty cleanly over those other three, yeah,
---

Up again.

---

2B did pretty great in the last character battle, so I Automata seems like the safest pick out of all these. I wouldn't be surprised if Spider-Man took it.

Nominate:
Cuphead/Ori and the Blind Forest, Celeste/A Hat in Time

New topic later today
