I sort of get that, but is DANA a person? I think the way that part is ALL CAPS is what makes the title look like KH-level nonsense to me. (this isnt meant as a dismissal of the games quality, I like KH). Is DANA an advanced AI maybe?

Other: Hearthstone

Trails shouldn't even be on this poll, though, considering Estelle's 2018 match.

ok yeah, that makes it look less weird to me now. I wasnt reading it like Dana was a persons name
also I didnt realize until now that the entire YS series was about the same dude, I just kind of assumed it was like other long running JRPG series that have new worlds in each game. Wild!

Hearthstone


oh wow, I somehow totally forgot that Hearthstone even made the bracket. This is a good answer.

oh, I see now why I didnt notice Hearthstone is in the bracket... I only bothered to read the names of games I didnt have winning matches, and I currently have Hearthstone beating Divinity.

guess I should fix that

Hearthstone is the funny answer.

Something like Crusader Kings is probably the real answer.

What I'm getting out of this is that mooglekupo needs to play the Ys series

Honestly, the bar is so low here when it comes to weak turbo fodder, I think if your series had representation in the last couple contests, you probably have the strength to avoid being the absolute floor of the contest.

I'm not applying that to 2013's bloated field, so Ys is definitely still a contender despite Adol Christian's presence in that contest.

I'm surprised so many people said Baba, I think I'd take it over Edith Finch or Talos Principle.

I feel like Talos Principal is the obvious answer here and it's very weird to me that I'm the first vote for it. The rest of the games here people would have at least heard of at some point. A lot of people will have never heard it seen the words Talos Principal in reference to a game.

Edith does seem super weak. Its been in 5 polls post-release and its best performance was 4.55% here

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/6951-best-of-2017-indies

(hey it beat NitW though ! thats in the bracket too! But NitW beat Edith in a different poll so who knows what to believe?)

it got an incredible 99 votes in this poll:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/6730-five-months-in-to-2017-whats-your-pick-for-game-of-the-year

obviously the competition there was relatively strong, but still... 99 votes. I wonder what the fewest votes any poll option has ever received is.

That said, the little data we have for Talos Principle is pretty dang bad too. Its just this poll

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5748-best-of-2014-pc

quadrupled by hearthstone woof

A lot of the indies are games that are depending on word of mouth, voter respect, and time for people to play the game. Polls close to release are meaningless for them.

Really I cant see any of these losing to Fate/Grand Order, despite its weirdly high seed.

The Talos Principal was made by the same developer as Serious Sam.

Yeah, I'd expect some some of the newer indies to be at the very bottom (like Baba is You, Slay the Spire, Night in the Woods).

As for Edith Finch, it was free on Playstation Plus, so I wouldn't expect it to be in the bottom few just because of that. I know I played it because of that. 40% of Gamefaqs voters subscribe to PS Plus, btw:

It pops up a lot on the main page for Popular Topics or whatever. It actually has a pretty active community on this site. I mean it will still probably be pretty weak, but it definitely has a fan base here at least so it might avoid looking like the weakest game

I feel like games with cool or unusual names won't finish last because some people will give them votes for the heck of it, so it won't be something like Baba Is You or Return of the Obra Dinn.

Talos Principle cause it's the only one I haven't heard of.

I expect Baba is You to be stronger than people expect.

F/GO has consistently been the #1 app worldwide or close to it since release. It is the wildest of the wildcards.

There is a non-insignificant number of people who have never played it who would vote purely because they like the damn porn.

I would take huge sums of money ys8 would beat SFV.

SFV is an absolute bastardization of a game.
